Upon laying eyes on Diane, Mia swiftly discerned the motive behind her visit.
Despite Patricia's clear refusal earlier that morning, why did she still decide to show up in the evening?
Diane was in the company of two others, one of whom was a man.
The way he gazed at Mia left no doubt as to his identity.
Still, Mia couldn't help but ponder Diane's apparent lack of discretion in this situation.
"Ah, Ms. Lane, welcome home. We've been anticipating your return for quite a while," Diane greeted warmly as she stood up.
"This is the friend I was telling you about, along with her son. Isn't he quite dashing? I assure you, I have nothing but good intentions; Aunt Patricia and I are quite close, after all."
Mia remained unfazed, her eyes fixed on Sage and Ginger. "Both of you, go back to your rooms."
"Oh, that won't be necessary," Diane interjected. "They've brought gifts for the children—luxurious chocolates, the kind favored by the affluent."
Meeting Diane's gaze, the middle-aged woman, Pamela Baker, assumed a touch of superiority. "Certainly, feel free to help yourselves. After all, you probably haven't tasted such delicacies before. They're quite expensive."
Mia glanced disinterestedly at the candies arranged neatly on the table. Despite their fruit-flavored labels, she doubted their exorbitant cost.
After all, Sage and Ginger were accustomed to Eva's homemade candies, crafted from only the finest ingredients.
Unperturbed, Mia calmly declined, "No, thank you. These sweets aren't exactly nutritious. I'd rather the children not indulge in such snacks."
With a touch of innocence, Ginger gazed up at Mia and added, "Mommy, Uncle says we shouldn't eat these unhealthy candies. They'll damage our teeth."
Meanwhile, Sage maintained a serious demeanor as he quipped, "Candies of this quality wouldn't even be considered at our home."

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...

Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...

I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
