Chapter 570

If Mia’s other brothers were to discover her pregnancy, she feared she wouldn’t be able to hold them back.

Just as Mia was about to respond, she noticed the reflection on the wine bottle beside her–a man standing at the doorway behind her. Wasn’t that Timothy?

What a coincidence! Was his private room adjacent to theirs? How long had Timothy been standing there behind her?

Mia hesitated for a moment, exchanging a glance with Nicholas across from her. “Because the babies aren’t his,” she finally explained.

Upon hearing this, Nicholas‘ eyes betrayed a slight flicker of surprise; he wasn’t entirely convinced by Mia’s explanation.

As Mia’s words trailed off, she kept an eye on Timothy’s shadow reflected on the wine bottle.

Soon enough, he turned and retreated into the room.

Mia breathed a sigh of relief. She was resolute in keeping the twins‘ paternity a secret, intending to take them away.

Halfway through the meal, Connor arrived, fashionably late.

“Connor, I ordered your favorite risotto for you,” Mia informed him.

Connor took his seat, wearing a smug expression. “As always, Mia knows how to spoil me the most.

Having a sister like Mia is truly a blessing. Right, Nick?”

Mia fell silent. Was Connor once again flaunting his closeness with her? How awkward could this get?

Nicholas clenched his utensils, resisting the urge to jab Connor.
