Chapter 113

Finished

Mia felt the weight of everyone’s gaze on her. The air caught in her throat as James’s words rang out, leaving her momentarily speechless. Future wife? Not in a million years!

She lifted her head, her eyes shooting daggers at James, who had the audacity to flash her a smug smile. Before she could set the record straight, Lily’s voice chimed in. “Sister Mia, why didn’t you tell me about this?” she asked, her tone accusatory.

“Yeah, Mia! When did this happen? I’m your boss. Shouldn’t I have been the first to know?” Parker pouted, crossing his arms for dramatic effect.

Lily wasn’t about to back down. “Brother Parker, I’m her little sister. If anyone deserves to know first, it’s me! Isn’t that right, Sister Mia?”

“No way! As her boss, I have more authority here,” Parker argued. “Mia, how could you hide something so big from us? When were you planning to tell us about your relationship?”

Mia wanted to cry but found herself too overwhelmed to shed a single tear. Relationship? What relationship? There has to be a relationship for me to announce one!

Her glare snapped back to James, her frustration clear. This is all his fault! He was the one who started this mess with his absurd claims. James, catching her deadly look, merely smiled and even had the audacity to wink at her.

Just as she opened her mouth to clear the air, she was cut off. “Sister–in–law, my baby’s just a little shy. That’s why she hasn’t told you anything,” James interjected smoothly, pinching her cheek with an affectionate grin. “Baby, now that everyone’s here, don’t you think it’s time we announce our relationship officially?”

Mia stared at him, utterly flabbergasted. “What relationship are you even talking about? James, stop spouting nonsense!” she snapped, finally finding her voice. Turning to the others, she clarified, “Lily, Boss, you’ve got it all wrong. There’s nothing–absolutely nothing–between me and this lunatic!” She jabbed a finger in James’s direction.

“Baby, don’t be so harsh,” James pouted, pointing at himself. “This ‘lunatic‘ happens to be your future
