Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 4

Maya was secretly delighted but didn't let it show. She pretended to be magnanimous, saying, "I'll forgive you for Tim's sake."

Mia straightened up and looked at Timothy. "Can I go now?"

She didn't want to spend another second there. She bent down to pick the divorce agreement up and handed it to him. This time, her attitude was as firm as possible.

Timothy looked at the divorce agreement and subconsciously frowned. He hadn't expected Mia to sign the papers without a fuss this time. Whenever he'd tried to do this in the past, she would have Laura help her.

He'd already thought of the ways he could persuade Laura to see sense, but it seemed he wouldn't need to do anything.

Timothy couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. He looked at Mia's suitcase. Was she leaving already?

He looked at her. "Have you already found a place to stay?"

"No," Mia answered reflexively. She looked at him in surprise. Was he concerned about her?

Timothy quickly averted his gaze. "Go downstairs to get some ice for Maya's foot. She sprained it because of you, so you can't leave without doing anything."

Ha, so this was still about Maya. For a split second, Mia had thought Timothy was worried about her. It seemed their three-year marriage was nothing compared to his first love.

Mia left the bedroom, walking stiffly. Her husband's mistress had barged into their marital home and taken control of what was supposed to be their bed. Yet she still had to bring said mistress ice for her foot.

Mia thought self-deprecatingly, "Could you be any cheaper, Mia Bowen?"

As she walked down the stairs, she accidentally missed a step. She instinctively grabbed the plant closest to her, but it fell over and rolled down the stairs.

At this critical moment, someone grabbed her.

Mia turned to stare at Timothy. He'd saved her!
