Chapter 250
Eventually, as Mia grappled with guilt over the engagement incident, she found it challenging to
turn down Felix’s offer.
However, upon stepping outside, Mia was taken aback to find a familiar Volkswagen car.
Dominic?” she exclaimed.
The car screeched to a halt, and Connor emerged, swiftly approaching Mia. “Mia, are you okay?”
“Connor?”
Upon spotting Dominic’s car, Mia initially assumed he had arrived, only to discover that it was actually
Connor.
Mia responded somewhat oddly, “Connor, I’m fine.”
“Your phone has been off the entire time! We were really worried!”
Mia felt a pang of guilt. “My phone accidentally broke, and I’ve been too caught up with work to get it
fixed.”
Felix added, “Yeah, Mia was occupied at the engagement venue for a while. We just returned to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe studio.”
Puzzled, Connor inquired, “Mia, did you make it to the engagement ceremony? When did you get
there?”
“I got there quite late. It was over two hours ago. What’s going on, Connor?”
Connor glanced at Felix and swiftly changed the subject. “It’s nothing. Mia, I’m here to take you
home. Hop in the car.”
He refrained from discussing the matter in front of Felix to avoid any slip–ups.
Mia turned to Felix and said, “Felix, Connor is here. You don’t have to worry about taking me
home. You should rest early.”
“Alright, take your time then.”
Felix had to pass up this opportunity, but he was confident that numerous chances would present
themselves in the future, so he wasn’t in a rush.
Mia entered the car, sinking back in the seat to find some rest. “Today has been utterly exhausting.

“Mia, what happened to your face?”
While driving. Connor managed to free one hand to send a message in the group chat: “I just picked up
Mia from the studio; we’re on our way back.”
As he set the phone down, the tension that had gripped him began to dissipate.
The Lane brothers had scoured the neighborhood in their quest to find Mia.
However, surveillance footage revealed a confrontation involving Mia, Bob, and Mary, attracting a
gathering of onlookers. After leaving on a bus, Mia’s whereabouts became uncertain.
Mia gently touched her cheek. “This morning, as I left home, I unexpectedly encountered my adoptive
parents at the neighborhood entrance.
“Upon discovering they were ineligible for the relocation compensation, they became enraged and
approached me, demanding money.
“Despite their i
insistence, I stood firm and refused to yield to their demands. This led to a heated confrontation
outside, but ultimately, I emerged victorious.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though Connor had already seen the events unfold in the surveillance footage, hearing Mia
discuss it so casually made him uneasy. “Mia, did you forget that you’re pregnant?”
“I know I was wrong. At that moment, I was just too angry and didn’t think things through. But I
promised you last time, didn’t I?”
Connor’s car stopped at a red light, and he turned to face Mia. Speaking with a tone of concern, he
said, “I’m not placing blame. I’m just really worried about you.”
He understood that Mia’s past had molded her into someone who valued independence, avoided
reliance on others, and maintained a strong guard.
Even though Mia seemed to have welcomed the presence of her older brothers, there was a lingering
sense that she didn’t fully rely on them.
In times of trouble, she continued to confront challenges on her own, preferring self–reliance over
turning to her family for assistance.
Mia playfully stuck out her tongue. “I know. So, Connor, could you help me pick out a new phone?“”
Connor drove toward the largest electronics store, planning to purchase the latest smartphone for Mia.
However, upon entering the store, Mia caught sight of a familiar figure. For a moment, she questioned
her perception, wondering if she had mistaken the person.
