NovelEnglishChapter 685 Timothy found himself somewhat taken aback when Ginger called him; he could almost visualize her holding her Apple watch.
His typically stern demeanor unexpectedly softened at the sound of her voice.
“Mister, I'm about to leave, and | have a gift for you.” At her words, Timothy's lips curved slightly. “Why are you gettinga gift?” ‘Because | want to thank you for safely takingfrom the airport to the hotel, so | can reunite with my Mommy! She always tellswe should know how to repay kindness.” Ginger’s adorable voice had a melting effect.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTimothy responded gently, “Alright.” After agreeing on the meeting place and ending the call, Timothy found himself smiling slightly.
He had never been particularly fond of children, often finding them bothersome, but Ginger seemed to be an exception in his eyes.
Caleb asked tentatively, “Tim, who called you? And what's with the gift and the restaurant meeting?” Could it be Monalize again? Last time, she even gave Tim underwear; who knew what she would give this time? Timothy responded casually, “Ginger called, saying she has a gift for me.” “Oh, so Ginger got you a gift, but what about me, her supposed ‘sugar daddy‘? Nothing, huh? n x] Caleb couldn't suppress his jealousy! Timothy raised an eyebrow as he looked at Caleb and remarked, “If you admit that you're an unreliable ‘sugar daddy,” why do you still expect to receive gifts? You should be preparing to give a gift to Ginger instead.” “Why would | bother getting her a present? She's just as stubborn and assertive as her mother. it’s baffling, isn't it? Why does Ms. Monalize insist I'm Ginger’s father, yet she never invitesand keeps arranging meetings with you?” 1/3 +15 BONUS “Because you're too ugly!” Caleb was taken aback, feeling unfairly targeted.
Meanwhile, after ending the call, Ginger tilted her head and informed, “Mommy, he agreed to meet at the restaurant.” “Great job, sweetie. All you need to do is go and give him the gift; Mommy will take care of everything else.” Mia and Ginger had already coordinated their plan. When it ctto exchange gifts, Ginger would seize the moment and pretend to faint.
Following Ginger’s act, Mia would use the opportunity to inform Timothy about Ginger’s supposed illness, emphasizing the urgent need for blood matching and transfusion.
With this pretext, Mia planned to smoothly transition into negotiating a deal with Timothy involving the reishi mushroom.
With everything ready, Ginger and Mia proceeded to the restaurant. Yet, after waiting for half an hour, Timothy still hadn't arrived.
Eventually, Caleb approached them with several large gift boxes, sweating profusely. “Here, these are the gifts Tim prepared for Ginger.” Noticing Timothy's absence, Mia was taken aback, inquiring, “Where's Mr. Barrett?” “He had to attend to an urgent matter at hand needed to leave quickly. He's already taken off in a private helicopter,” Caleb replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this explanation, suspicion flickered in Mia’s eyes.
She couldn't shake the feeling that Timothy's departure timing seemed too coincidental. He could have left Xanier Island sooner or later, yet he chose to leave precisely at this critical moment.
Glancing down at Ginger, Caleb detected a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Unable to hold back, he explained, “Tim has a sick relative at home, and their condition isn’t good right now.
That's why he needed to rush back; it might even be their final meeting.
“You should try to understand him. These gifts were all handpicked by him for you.” Upon hearing the words “sick relative”, Ginger obediently replied, “I understand. There's an important person in my family who's also sick...” TIR DUNUS “Ginger,” Mia immediately interjected.
It seemed that Ginger’s naivety and straightforwardness often led her to inadvertently reveal confidential information.
