Chapter 416
“Jason Lane.” Timothy said.
“Another individual from the Lane family? You mentioned Mia’s close bond with Connor before, didn’t
you? Is it possible that the Lanes harbor some hidden agenda against your family?” Caleb speculated.
Timothy took another sip of wine. “It’s not directed at my family, but rather at Mia herself.”
“I’m telling you. Tim, if you’ve developed feelings for Mia, and considering you two haven’t finalized the
divorce yet, it’ll be quite easy for you to keep her around.
“After all Mia used to idolize you, sticking to you like a devoted wife. If you just show her a bit of
attention, won’t she just return to you?” Caleb expressed.
Upon hearing these words, Timothy’s mind quickly recalled what Mia had said before: “If you replace
your boyfriend quickly enough, you won’t have time to feel sad.
“As long as your new boyfriend is up to par, you’ll be able to forget your ex.”
Timothy pressed his lips together. “She’s not as easily persuaded now.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Timothy proposed divorce. Mia seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, making it
challenging for Timothy to approach her.
Clicking his tongue. Caleb voiced out, “Are you seriously considering coaxing Mia? Why won’t you
admit that you’ve developed feelings for her?”
After all it was obvious.
Timothy cleared his throat. “I just feel like whether we divorce or not doesn’t matter much.
“Since Grandma Laura really likes her, and I don’t have many expectations when it comes to marriage.
it’s really not a big deal” Timothy said matter–of–factly.
“You’re just being stubborn, aren’t you? If you genuinely feel that way, why did you initiate the divorce in
the first place?” Caleb asked.
Timothy fell silent for a moment. “At the time, I thought that keeping Mia at the Barrett residence for
three years was too much for a young woman like her.
“Staying there would only waste her life. She could have easily started fresh elsewhere,” Timothy said.
Caleb countered immediately, “So why are you stopping Mia from leaving?”
He couldn’t understand why Timothy was still putting on an act.
Setting down the wine bottle he held, Timothy disclosed, “It’s because Mia is pregnant.”
Caleb couldn’t help but spit out the wine in his mouth, staring incredulously at Timothy beside him. “Is
the baby yours?”
Timothy’s expression grew somber. “Probably not.”
“What do you mean by probably not? Hold on, based on what you’ve said earlier, does this mean the
child is Connor’s?
“Considering all of this, shouldn’t you be expediting your divorce process? Do you really want to deal
with this mess?
Timothy replied nonchalantly, “I don’t have any specific expectations regarding the child.
“Previously, I lied about Mia being pregnant to deceive Grandma Laura into having surgery.
“Now that she is gradually recovering, the truth about the fake pregnancy is bound to come out. It just

“Even though the child might not be mine, I can overlook the paternity for the sake of Grandma Laura’s
recovery.”
Caleb swallowed hard, staring at Timothy incredulously. “Timothy, are you out of your mind?”
Signing a clean break divorce agreement was one matter, but being open to raising another man’s child
was a whole different ball game.
It was clear that Timothy still cared for Mia.
If it weren’t for his feelings for her, enduring such a situation would be challenging for any man.
Disregarding Caleb’s question, Timothy casually checked his phone and saw a missed call from Mia,
which he chose not to return.
Squinting slightly, Timothy guessed that Mia’s call was probably regarding their divorce agreement from
earlier that afternoon.
Caleb leaned over and asked, “Whose call did you miss? Was it Mia?”
“Yeah, I didn’t answer.”
Looking at his phone, Timothy’s voice was deep as he asked hesitantly, “Do you think I should call her
back?”
