Mia had almost lost hope, but to her surprise, Timothy arrived just in time to intervene and drive away the two unfamiliar men.
A swirl of emotions engulfed Mia.
With a hint of apprehension, Timothy confessed, "If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't know how to face Grandma."
Upon hearing his words, Mia lowered her gaze, masking her feelings.
With a forced smile, she responded, "I appreciate your help back there."
"Well, I couldn't just ignore being called 'sweetheart' like that."
Mia remained silent.
As they exited the secluded grove, Mia spotted a security vehicle parked nearby.
Two men were being escorted inside forcefully, their attire and features somewhat familiar—they were the same men who had assaulted her earlier.
Yet now, they appeared severely bruised, limping as they moved, their previous arrogance replaced by defeat.
If it weren't for their clothing, Mia would have almost failed to identify them.
Turning to Timothy beside her, she inquired, "They seem to be in bad shape. Did you have a hand in this?"
Standing next to her, Timothy replied coldly, "I merely taught them a lesson. They got what was coming to them."
With her head bowed, Mia couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment as she observed the two men, looking utterly disheveled.
After all, who wouldn't appreciate someone standing up for them like this?
In that instant, Mia's phone rang. She reached for it and noticed an incoming call from Connor.
Gripping her phone, Mia stole another glance at Timothy.
As Timothy observed the incoming call flashing on her phone screen, he pursed his lips. "Go ahead, take the call."
Stepping aside, Mia answered her phone. "Hello."
"Mia, are you still at campus? I just finished work. I'm on my way to pick you up."
Her response made Timothy's heart race.
Considering Mia's past dishonesty, he felt somewhat reassured, believing he could probably predict her decision.
Clearing his throat, Timothy remarked, "I trust you'll make a wise decision."
Mia took a deep breath and met his gaze. "I've decided to leave here and move to Nord City."
Timothy's fingers quivered slightly as she said that, disbelief flickering in his eyes.
A tense silence hung in the car for a moment.
Timothy's gaze softened, and he pressed his lips together before asking, "How did I fall short compared to Connor?"
Mia avoided Timothy's gaze, afraid he might see through her true intentions.
With a lump in her throat, she responded, "I've decided to have the twins in Nord City. I can't let them grow up in an unwelcoming family environment, so I've chosen to leave Bern City for their well-being."
Aware of Timothy's aversion to children, Mia was determined to keep the fact that her twins were biologically his a secret.

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
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...
