Meet My Brothers

Dominic’s expression tumed cold. “You’re talking about Timothy Barrett’s grandma, aren’t you? He’s already married, so why are you still latching onto him?”

“Tim’s getting a divorce, Dominic. He never liked that woman anyway. I’m sure that after three years, Tim has figured out who’s right for him.”

Maya added anxiously, “Dominic, the surgery’s a piece of cake for Connor! Help me talk him into it, please? He listens to you.”

She could use the surgery as her bargaining chip to marry Timothy!

“I’m not doing it,” Dominic replied before ending the call.

Even though Maya was adopted, Dominic didn’t want her to marry Timothy, a cold-blooded and heartless man

who had been married once before.

Dominic checked the One Big Happy Family group chat. It was a newly formed one. For the time being, the

family didn’t want to let Maya know they had found their biological younger sister.

At the very least, they were going to wait until they had won Mia over.

Dominic went back into the living room of the hotel suite. “Everyone will be arriving by this evening, Mia. Let’s

have dinner together.”

“This evening?”

Remembering that she had promised to eat dinner with Laura, Mia said hesitantly, “I’ve already made plans

with a friend.”

“It’s alright. That’s not a problem. We’re in no rush. After all, so many years have passed. We don’t mind

waiting a little longer.”

Seeing how careful Dominic tried to be with her, Mia pursed her lips and said, “I’ll come back earlier tonight.”

Dominic stroked Mia’s hair while asking, “You’re going out to have dinner with a friend, yeah? Do you have enough money?”

Mia stiffened. She was unused to such physical intimacy. Her tone was a little stiff as she replied, “I have

enough.”

She went back to the bedroom to get changed. Patricia followed her and muttered, “You’re going over to the

Barretts’, right?”

“You figured it out, Aunt Patricia? Grandma Laura has always been kind to me. Either way, I should head over

there to explain things to her.”

“Mia, I didn’t tell your brother about your marriage and divorce, but I’m worried about you going to the Barretts’,

“Patricia said.

“Let’s keep my relationship with Timothy a secret. I’m afraid that Dominic would get riled up and look for

Mia nodded. After changing her clothes, she looked in the mirror and stroked her belly.

She would start a new life with her baby.

When Mia headed out, Dominic followed her down to the lobby. “Where are you going, Mia? I’ll give you a ride.”

“It’s fine,” Mia declined. “I’ll take a bus.”

How could Dominic let his younger sister take public transport? He even prepared a fleet of luxury cars for her!

Even so, he had to hold himself back. After all, he was only a real estate agent right now.

Thankfully, Dominic spotted a cab. He quickly flagged it down and paid the driver in advance before saying to Mia, “Take a cab. The bus would be too packed. I can afford this much, you know.” (1

Dominic couldn’t bear to let Mia crowd together with the rest of the commuters on other modes of public transport. Mia had spent years away from the family, and he wanted nothing more than to make

it up to Mia.

Mia could not talk Dominic out of it, so in the end, she got into the cab and waved to Dominic.

She had a small smile on her face. It felt pretty good to have finally found her family.

Mia took the cab to the Barrett residence. As she stared at the familiar house, she was conflicted over how she was going to inform Laura about the divorce.

Taking a deep breath, she walked into the residence.

A young woman came over from the garden. “You actually came over in a cab this time, Mia. What happened to taking a bus?

“Have you finally given up on pretending to be a frugal and virtuous wife? Have you started using the Barrett family’s money to fund your luxurious lifestyle?”
