Chapter 370
Timothy’s reaction put that woman in an awkward situation. “My father told me to come to you. Mr.
Barrett. He gave me the room card too, asking me to seduce you. But I can’t bring myself to do
this, so I’d like to negotiate with you in person.”
“You don’t have no right to negotiate with me,” he replied expressionlessly.
His eyes stared at his phone screen that displayed the disconnected call. He scowled with irritation.
The sheer idea of Mia becoming a playgirl annoyed him so much. He made a mental note to himself to
deal with all the backup men she had.
Meanwhile, Mia returned to the room after the call, which was still affecting her mood.
Felix wrote, “Who was that?”
There was a hesitant silence. “My ex–husband.”
Her reply stunned him, reminding him of the warning from the men who beat him up. He broke in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta cold sweat.
Still, he kept convincing himself to get it out of his head. That incident should have nothing to do
with Mia’s ex–husband, Felix believed.
Felix didn’t pry further, deciding that it was best he shut up.
Mia felt relieved. If he had asked questions, she wouldn’t have known what to answer.
Soon after, Janice came over with a lunchbox. “Felix, you must be starving. I made your favorite!
There’s chicken soup too.”
The smell of chicken soup made Mia hungry. Dishes filled with the table within no time, including
the chicken soup. It was indeed a feast.
“Dig in. Mom, you too,” Felix prompted.
“Mia, come sit. Join us. You’ve looked after him for the whole afternoon.”
Mia was quite hungry. Hunger would drive a pregnant woman like her insane.
When she sat beside the table and wanted to fill her plate, Janice suddenly added, “Mia, we
should eat slowly. Felix is injured, so he’s kinda slow. All of these are his favorite.”

Mia’s hand paused midair as she could read between those lines–Janice was asking Mia not to
steal food from Felix.
She reached for the dishes slowly and looked at Felix. “She’s right. You’re the patient. You should
have more.”
After giving a nod, Felix gladly drank the chicken soup and began eating at his own pace.
However, she couldn’t wait any longer with a growling stomach. She thought of getting herself a bowl of
chicken soup to stave the hunger off.
Yet. Janice stopped her again. “Mia, I specially made it for Felix. We’re not the patients. We might
as well save it for him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMia’s face slightly paled. Her blood sugar level was low, and dizziness kicked in. Fighting through
the dizziness, she reached for the sweet and sour pork only to be stopped again.
Janice said, “Mia, the vegetables are fresh today. I bought them from the farmers‘ market. They’re very
fresh. You should have more of that. Women should eat more vegetables. It’s good for your
diet.”
At that point, Mia lost her smile.
Alone, she finished two plates of rice and a plate of vegetables only to be half full. Fortunately, it was
enough to keep her blood sugar level at bay.
After ministering to Felix, Janice realized that the plate of vegetables was squeaky clean. Her
expression turned grim. “What a big appetite you have, Mia. Don’t women usually eat less? You
finished your rice, too!”
Unable to hold it in anymore, Mia stood. “Mrs. Quilter, are you still hungry? I can order something for
you.”
“How sweet. I’d like to have stir–fried chicken. Please order it from a restaurant.”
