Chapter 455

Watching Timothy’s tentative behavior, it dawned on Mia that he really did have something This was her first seeing him contemplating his words for so long.

To her, he was never hesitant. As the rightful heir of the Barrett Group, he was well–known in the business industry for his decisiveness.

Her gaze was glued to him, but his gaze was averted elsewhere. He couldn’t seem to get the words out of his mouth.

Feeling immensely frustrated, he tugged on his tie.

Shit.

After taking a deep breath, he glanced up at Mia and said, “Mia, actually-”

Claude realized something was off. He interrupted hastily, “What are you on about? Stop fumbing with your words! Just spit it out, will you?

“But let me warn you, don’t you dare try to pursue Mia again! It’s too late for you to fall for her now.

“Better think twice before you speak so you won’t humiliate yourself. Mia’s no longer a lovesick fool now!”

Claude knew his way around women. Of course, he wouldn’t miss Timothy’s intention to win back Mia. There was absolutely no way that he was going to let that happen. Thus, he had to make a move before Timothy could say anything.

Mia replied earnestly, “Mr. Barrett, rest assured. Once I’m done with my work, I’ll visit Grandma Laura. It make sure to keep my promise until the very end!”

Claude nodded. “Exactly. Mia kept her promise, and she even convinced Connor to perform surgery on Mrs. Barrett Senior. When are you going to divorce with her? Don’t you dare sneak your way out of this!”

Timothy frowned. “This is something between us, and it has nothing to do with you. Who do you think you are to order me around?”
