But admitting that she had willingly cuddled up to him felt too embarrassing.
Mia retorted, "That was then, this is now. My current sleeping habits are fine. You must have leaned onon purpose while | was asleep." If she didn't adhere to moral standards, nobody could use morality against her.

Please adjust your seats and fasten your seat belts." Upon the flight attendant's arrival, Mia finally stopped talking and silently adjusted her seat, fastening her seatbelt.
Soon, the plane touched down at Nord City International Airport.
Seeing the familiar surroundings, Mia reached for the box beside her and opened it to ensure the bone marrow was safely inside. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
As the plane cto a stop, Mia peeked out the window. Upon spotting the people waiting for her arrival, she felt her body stiffen.
Turning to Timothy, she asked, "Are you sure you want to disembark with me?" Mia was taken aback by how quickly her brothers had arrived.
She was convinced that if Timothy cdown with her, it could escalate into a violent confrontation later, potentially resulting in Timothy getting injured.
After all, they were now in Nord City, a far cry from Bern City, which was under the control of the Barrett family.

Timothy calmly sorted through the documents on the table. "Will there be an issue if | accompany you?" Pointing outside, Mia said, "Look, my brothers are here. For your own safety, it's better if you stay on the plane.
You can cdown after we've left." Timothy couldn't help but notice a car parked on the tarmac, accompanied by several men who seemed oddly familiar.
With a narrowed gaze, Timothy expressed his concern, "But now you're my girlfriend, and you were even my ex- wife once. Is my identity something to hide?" It seemed like Timothy was oblivious to the situation.
Observing his confident stance, Mia hesitated before responding, "Mr. Barrett, when | mentioned being your girlfriend, it was meant as a joke. | didn't anticipate you taking it seriously." Timothy's frown deepened. "What do you mean?" His expression resembled that of someone scrutinizing a scoundrel, suspicion clouding his features.
Mia cleared her throat and continued, "Mr. Barrett, as adults, we're accustomed to playful banter, and I'm sure you've encountered it before. There's no need forto spell it out. It's all in good fun, after all. Clarifying it might just spoil the humor, wouldn't you agree?" "Mia, | don't joke around when it comes to relationships," Timothy said firmly.
"Then let's just treat it as a lighthearted joke between us, alright? Mr. Barrett, we're all here to have a good time.
If you take it seriously, that's on you." Mia felt it was crucial to address certain matters immediately. If her brothers caught wind of her actions in Bern City, they'd surely reprimand her. Mia realized she needed to end things with Timothy before disembarking the plane! As her words faded, Timothy replied in a serious tone, "Mia, | cannot agree to break up. You also have a responsibility toward me." Responsibility? Did she hear him correctly?
