Nicholas stole a glimpse of Mia. "Dominic doesn't know that Timothy's with you, does he?" She nodded. "No, but Eva knows. I told her not to tell him. You know his temper. If he finds out that Timothy's with me, things will be way worse." She was aware that Dominic cared for her, but he had a vile temper and impulsive character. She didn't want to see bloodshed happening because of this.

They arrived at the Lane residence. As soon as she showed up, the maids reported, "Ms. Mia is back." She walked into the posh living room, and soon, Eva breezed out of the kitchen. "Mia, you're back. I made your favorite soup. You should have more later." Mia pulled Eva's hand. "Definitely! It's been years since I last tasted your cooking." Eva grinned. "Nicholas, you're here too? Come, come. Let's eat together. It's been a while since you had a meal here." "It is. Been busy with work lately," he replied politely.
When the dishes were served on the table, Dominic and Nathan returned home.
They were the only ones joining them for dinner. The others either had work or were as busy as Connor, so they couldn't make it htoday. Dominic asked Mia, "How do you feel?" Feeling slightly guilty, she replied, "Better. Connor said it's not a serious concussion. No biggie. I should be better after taking a few days' rest at home." He cup to her to check on her. After making sure that she was fine, he was able to have peace of mind. “I'm glad that you're fine." The next second, his tone shifted to a steely one. "Don't worry, Mia. I will make sure the Bowens are blacklisted in Nord City, I'll make their life a living hell and make them beg for mercy. This is the price they have to pay for hurting you." Noticing the murderous intent in his tone, she smiled. "Thanks, Dominic." Nathan chimed in, "How dare those rats lay a finger on our princess. We should teach them a lesson or they'll take us lightly in the future." Warmth seeped into her as she realized how protective her brothers were. It was genuinely nice to have loved ones backing her up.

Now that she had found her biological brothers and a loving m family, there was nothing more she needed as of now. The Bowens should've foreseen what was waiting for them when they had the nerve to hurt Mia.
After all, the Lane brothers were known to be sister-fools. That was why she said the Bowens were fools.
And who was the idiot in the Barrett family who wanted to collaborate with such fools?
After the meal, Dominic suddenly threw a question at Nicholas. "Is your family not anxious about when you'll get married? You've stayed unmarried for years."
Nicholas froze momentarily, his eyes darting to Mia. His head went m s short-circuited as he didn't know how to answer that question. Nathan blurted, "I heard that we have a marriage alliance with your family. Is it true?" X
