NovelEnglishChapter 764 “Mia, there's no use pretending any longer.” In that instant, Mia felt her heart leap into her throat. Her mind raced as she tried to pinpoint where things had gone wrong.
Why would Timothy confront her so abruptly? Had he stumbled upon sincriminating evidence? “Well, if you don’t say anything, I'll take it as a yes.” Mla forced a smile. “Mr. Barrett, even though | resemble your ex-wife, we are not the sperson.” “Then how do you explain this?” Timothy took out his phone and swiftly sent a photo to Mia's WhatsApp.
Upon opening the message, Mia's breath caught in her throat as she saw a photo of herself and Patricia together in the living room.

“Mia, do you have any further comments?” Upon glimpsing the photo, Mia casually set her phone aside and remarked, “I don’t really have anything to say about it.” Timothy leaned back, his gaze penetrating. “Aren’t you going to elaborate? Why did you fake your death and disappear in the first place? And was Ginger the child you were carrying?” Mia met his gaze squarely. “Since we've reached this juncture, there's no point in hiding anymore.” While slipping the ring onto her finger, she remarked, “I must admit, | rather fancy this ring. But to downplay my excitement, | pretended to decline your proposal.” Timothy narrowed his gaze. “What exactly are you implying?” “I mean, Mr. Barrett, | see you as a great prospect for marriage-handsome, wealthy, and kind to my daughter.
“That's precisely why | played hard to get and traveled to Bern City to pursue you, though | couldn't reveal my true feelings.
“Considering my resemblance to your ex-wife, | thought it could be beneficial to reach out to Aunt Patricia. | wanted to explore more about your past relationship, hoping it could help us grow closer.” “Mia, keep spinning your tale. Do you honestly think I'll fall for it?” “Well, Mr. Barrett, if you remain unconvinced, you're welcto verify with Aunt Patricia. Despite my admiration for you, | refuse to be a substitute for someone else.” As Mia spoke, she maintained an innocent and earnest demeanor, though internally, she was filled with anxiety.
Their eyes met for a moment.
“But | still have doubts,” Timothy said, tapping the table lightly.
“What would it take for you to trustthen?” “Arrange for Ginger to receive her treatment in Bern City.” Mia's pupils narrowed. “That's not possible.” “Why not? Are you planning to take advantage ofto cure Ginger’s illness and then run away with her? Do you really think I'm that gullible?” Timothy was well aware of Mia’s intentions.
Letting her take Ginger back to Nord City would pose a significant challenge for him to track them down again, especially since it was the territory of the Lane family.
Mia couldn't help but curse inwardly, regretting her decision to visit Patricia so.
Despite this, Mia knew that the truth would inevitably surface. However, she hadn’t expected Timothy to monitor Patricia instead of her.
