Connor and Mia exchanged uneasy glances, their eyes flickering with a hint of discomfort.
Breaking the silence. Laura waved at Mia and exclaimed, “Mia, you’re here! Don’t just stand at the
door, come over.”
Forcing a smile, Mia reluctantly walked over to Laura. She placed the flowers in the nearby vase and turned to Laura, “How have you been feeling lately?”
“I’ve been doing well. But, Mia, you seem a bit more tired than last time,” Laura remarked, holding Mia’s hand and scrutinizing her. “Is it due to the demands of your studies and work?”
Mia cleared her throat before answering. “Not exactly. I’ve actually put on some weight recently.”
She had carefully controlled her diet, fearing that overeating might expose her growing belly and make it difficult to conceal her pregnancy.
“Mia, what do you mean you’ve gained weight? Honestly, you look thinner to me.
“Now, remember, you’re not alone. You have a baby growing inside you. Please be mindful not to
overwork yourself, Laura advised.
Upon hearing this, Mia’s heart raced, silently pleading, “Grandma Laura, please don’t say anything
more!”
She knew that running into Connor today was a disaster waiting to happen.
As expected, Laura brought up Mia’s pregnancy, putting her in a challenging position. How could
she possibly continue keeping it a secret from Connor?
In response, Mia offered a wry smile, saying, “Laura, my workload isn’t too taxing.”
“Mia, I don’t have an issue with you working, but given your pregnancy, the circumstances have changed. Please take good care of yourself. After giving birth, there’ll be plenty of time to return to
work.
“I could even talk to Tim about securing a designer position for you in his company. As the young lady of the Barrett family, no one would dare to mistreat you,” Laura teased.
Upon hearing these words, Mia abandoned any resistance.
Even if she wished to salvage the situation, it seemed futile. Laura had completely unveiled the facade Mia had carefully maintained in front of Connor.

Mia refrained from looking in Connor’s direction, a sense of unease settling over her.
Instead, her gaze remained fixed on Laura. “Grandma, I understand the situation well. Please don’t
worry.”
“Mia, I know you value your pride. I’ll have a conversation with Tim, and if you choose to work at the Barrett Group in the future, he’ll ensure you’re well taken care of. It’s settled,” Laura declared.
Mia responded with a hint of helplessness, saying, “Let’s discuss it when the time comes.”
Unbeknownst to Laura, Mia would no longer be residing in Bern City at that point.
Of course, Mia couldn’t reveal the truth to Laura at this moment.
If the Barrett family discovered her pregnancy, Mia wouldn’t be able to leave, and protecting the
baby inside her would become even more challenging.
Connor couldn’t restrain himself and spoke up, “Grandma Laura, your checkup for today is done.

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...
More chapters please & conclusion in sight?...
Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...
More chapters please...
Please update all the chapters...
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....
