Chapter 79
Mia nodded. “Alright. I promise.”
It wasn’t a big deal to proceed with the divorce. After all, she had signed the divorce agreement.
After Maya left the studio, she called Connor. However, the call didn’t go through.
What happened?
She called him the night before, and the call went unanswered, too. He also didn’t reply to her texts.
And now, even his phone was turned off.
Maya called her assistant immediately.
“Find out Connor’s schedule. Is he doing volunteer work overseas for the Red Cross again?”
She had to convince him to come back as soon as possible to perform the surgery. Otherwise, Mia
would use Laura’s health as an excuse to keep bugging Timothy.
Meanwhile, Mia seemed quite distracted. Her mind was occupied with what Maya said earlier on.
She regretted not recording what she said earlier. It was such a pity that she couldn’t show Maya’s true
colors
to Timothy.
She missed the opportunity. Thus, there was no way that Maya would admit despite anything she said.
Head in hands, Mia felt helpless because Maya’s threat was actually working. She was indeed

Yet, Timothy wanted them to act as a couple. If she mentioned divorce at this point, it was highly likely
that he would misunderstand again.
That bitch, Maya, was indeed skilled in putting her in a difficult position.
After much thought, Mia finally made up her mind.
She texted Timothy, “Are you free next Monday?”
Today was Friday. She was planning to meet with Timothy at the courthouse next Monday.
She still didn’t receive his response after some time. Thus, she set her phone aside to avoid
distractions.
After a while, her phone buzzed. She immediately grabbed her phone and glanced at the notification.
However, it was a text from Connor that read, “Mia, I’m here on a business trip. Let’s grab dinner
tonight.”
Mia thought it was a reply from Timothy. She glanced over at their chat, and there still wasn’t any
response
from him.
Thus, she decided to get off work earlier to meet Connor.

While she was on the way, she received news that Liam was coming over because he had a shoot
here, too. Hence, they agreed to meet at the same restaurant.
Just as Mia walked into the restaurant, she heard someone calling her from behind.
“Ms. Bowen?”
She turned around and happened to find Maya. As she glanced behind her, she spotted Timothy. It was
clear that they came as a pair.
This wasn’t the fate she desired.
Mia replied calmly, “Oh, what a coincidence.”
Timothy narrowed his eyes. The least he would expect was to bump into her in this restaurant. Was
she here alone, or was she with someone else?
Maya immediately continued, “Ms. Bowen, the atmosphere of this restaurant is excellent. It’s best for
couples to come here. Are you alone?”
Mia wasn’t fazed by her question at all.
She replied airily, “Of course not.”
“Is that so? If you don’t mind, why don’t you join us instead? After all, the more the merrier. Don’t you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmagree, Tim?”
Mia frowned at her words. Was Maya out of her mind?
Joining them for dinner? There was no way that Timothy, who was such a clean freak, would want to
dine with
someone else. Moreover, she knew he preferred to be alone.
Mia shot a glance at Timothy. She was so sure he would refuse.
In the next second, he replied, “Sure.”
Mia was caught off guard. She couldn’t figure out why he agreed to let her join their dinner.
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Were Maya and Timothy out of their minds?
How did he have the audacity to agree to her ridiculous suggestion?
In a suggestive manner, Maya asked, “Ms. Bowen, it’s not actually a big deal since we all know each
other.
But if you feel like it’s inconvenient for you, or you don’t prefer our company, we can just forget it.”
Mia could tell that Maya was trying to prod her into taking her suggestion. Yet, she still took it.
She nodded swiftly as she answered, “I’m cool with it.”
She was not going to be intimidated by her.
The smile on Maya’s face deepened as she glanced back at Timothy.
“Let’s go, Tim.”
