Chapter 441
After speaking with Claude, Maya gave Mia a provoking gaze and the latter noticed it.
Frowning, Mia couldn’t understand the meaning of that.
Not long after, Claude came up to Mia. “Mia, aren’t your legs tired from all the standing?”
“Nope, I’m fine. There’s a chair for me to sit on. Claude, I was surprised to see your name on the guest
list a while ago. I thought it was another person with the same name.
“You didn’t tell me that you’re going to attend the music show.”
“This is how a surprise works.” He couldn’t bring himself to stand in a corner watching the music show.
His brows furrowed at that. “Come sit with me. My seat is better.”
She hurriedly shook her head. “I’m fine with my spot. If something comes up, I have to go deal
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith it.”
It seemed like Claude had to deal with his helplessness himself. “Fine. When you come to Nord City, I’ll
take you to a grander music show.”
When that time came, he would announce to everyone that he had such a kind and cute sister. He
would organize a music show every single year just for her!
Mia nodded meekly in response and watched him head for the guests‘ seats until he sat beside
Timothy!
Her heart surged to her throat in a heartbeat. If she had accepted Claude’s offer to sit together, that
meant sitting with Timothy!
Then, she watched Maya sit next to Timothy with an expression of a winner.
The glint in Mia’s eyes lost its sparkle as she quickly withdrew her gaze, focusing her attention on
the decorations.
Meanwhile, Timothy cast her a fleeting look, mixed emotions stirred beneath his eyes. He actually
saw Claude approaching Mia. The duo appeared to be close acquaintances.
Claude turned sideways, blocking Timothy’s view while voicing his opinion implicitly, “Mr. Barrett,
I think you should focus on the stage. The music show is commencing soon.”
In other words, “Stop looking at my sister or I’ll dig out your eye.”
“It’s none of your business,” Timothy retorted, displeased.

Maya piped up, “Timothy, Mr. Lane and Mia seem to be close. He actually personally supervised the
decorations for the hall.”
Timothy became all grumpy at that instant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClaude was a playboy in Nord City: his girlfriend never stayed the same every three months,
Looking at her, he responded, “Yeah. I think Mia is gifted in design and playing plano, at least much
better than you.”
It was such a humiliation to her. “Claude, what are you joking-”
“Don’t call me that. Don’t act like we’re close. I have never acknowledged your identity.”
Her face fell at that because her biggest fear was Timothy finding out that she was a mere adopted
child. When that came to event, how would she be able to marry him?
However, Timothy didn’t ask a question about it as though he hadn’t heard it.
She let out a sigh of relief and didn’t want to provoke Claude anymore. What if he revealed her true
identity?
Then, the music show started.
It was Mia’s first time watching this kind of music show. Live performances felt different from watching
them on TV. The beautiful melody could easily captivate one’s heart.
