Mia felt it was necessary to obtain Sage's input.
But before she could voice her thoughts, Sage interjected, "But let's not forget about Grand-Aunt Patricia. She's still waiting for us at home." At that moment, Ginger cautiously suggested, "Why don't we invite Grand-Aunt Patricia to join us for dinner?" Mia concurred with a nod, "That's a thoughtful suggestion. It must get tiresfor her to eat at hall the time." With Mia's approval, Ginger quickly fetched her Apple Watch and dialed Patricia's number.
After a brief moment, the call connected, and Patricia's warm voice cthrough. "Hello, dear, have you all made it back hsafely?" "Hello, Grand-Aunt Patricia, we're heading out for a meal. Would you care to join us?" "Going out for dinner? Who's joining in?" "Just... just the four of us." On the other end of the line, Patricia asked tentatively, "Will Mr. Barrett be accompanying you as well?" Timothy quickly confirmed, "Yes, I just escorted them from the hospital." Without skipping a beat, Patricia replied, "I see. Since you won't be back for dinner, I'll head to the Senior Citizens Center early. It's been a while since I last went. Anyway, enjoy your meal and have sfun before returning home." With that, Patricia ended the call. After all, she had no intention of feeling like a third wheel.
Meanwhile, Mia was taken aback by Patricia's straightforwardness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGlancing at the adults, Ginger asked cautiously, "So... are we still going ahead with dinner?" Mia affirmed with a nod. "Yes, let's proceed." She could sense Ginger's palpable anticipation for the impending meal.
Without further delay, they headed straight to the restaurant.
As they arrived, Heath stood at the entrance, holding the door open in a courteous manner. "I've already secured a reservation for us." Accompanied by Ginger and Sage, Mia took the lead, with Timothy following closely. Sneaking a glance at Heath, he couldn't help but commend, "Nicely done." Chapter 1167 1 Before, Timothy had been completely absorbed in his work, disregarding any aspects of his personal life.
Catering to a boss with such narrow interests had certainly presented its challenges.
Thankfully, the situation had significantly improved.
Heath turned his focus toward ensuring Sage's and Ginger's happiness, while also striving to strengthen the connection between Timothy, Mia, and their children.
With these positive developments underway, winning Timothy's favor seemed like a natural outcome.
Entering the restaurant with Ginger and Sage, Mia's attention was caught by a familiar voice.
"Sharon, isn't that your ex-daughter-in-law?" Mia's curiosity was piqued as she glanced over and spotted Sharon standing beside a middle-aged woman. To her surprise, it was none other than Timothy's aunt, Edith.
It seemed evident that Edith had a knack for stirring up trouble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Sharon appeared visibly weary, her expression souring upon spotting Mia. It was no surprise. After all, it was Mia's report that had prompted her return to Bern Cit.
Nonetheless, Sharon's demeanor quickly shifted as she caught sight of Sage.
Continuing her tirade, Edith exclaimed, "Can you believe it? Mia has the audacity to show up in Bern City, and with two children in tow Who is that little boy, anyway? Could he be Mia's secret love child from saffair?" "Enough!" Sharon interjected firmly, halting Edith's remarks as she strode purposefully toward Mia, her gaze unwaveringly fixed on Sage.
Sensing trouble looming, Mia instinctively moved to shield Ginger and Sage behind her. As Sharon drew closer, Mia's voice cut through the tense atmosphere. "What is it that you're after?" Sharon's eyes lingered on Sage, stirring a cascade of emotions within her. "Who is this little boy?" she probed, her tone insistent.
Mia's demeanor hardened as she fired back, "His identity is none of your concern. I see no reason to disclose it to you, nor do I appreciate your intrusion into our lives." "Mia, did you think I wouldn't eventually discover the truth? This boy is the spitting image of Tim. It's glaringly obvious he's his child. I can't fathom why you hid this from me." Sharon had long assumed that Timothy had only one daughter, a belief that had nearly plunged her into despair.
Now, confronted with the knowledge of Mia's son, Sharon couldn't shake the suspicion-had Mia intentionally kept her son hidden to gain leverage for more favorable terms?
