With that, Timothy handed over a business card with Heath's name on it.
Jeremy's face lit up with surprise as he took the card.
This was no ordinary gesture—it was an olive branch extended by none other than the CEO of the prestigious Barrett Group.
The opportunity to secure investment from Timothy held the promise of a bright future for Jeremy.
That day's lunch suddenly felt incredibly worthwhile.
Observing Jeremy's appeased expression, Mia couldn't bear to watch any longer. She rose from her seat and exited the private room, making her way to the restroom.
Contemplating the situation, Mia couldn't deny that having influence and authority could be advantageous.
Upon her return to the private room, Mia noticed that only Timothy remained, with Jeremy nowhere in sight.
She casually inquired, "Where's Jeremy?"
"He had to attend to something and left early," Timothy responded, fixing his gaze on her intently. "It's just as well he's gone. I have something important to talk to you about."
Drawing in a deep breath, Mia asked, "What's on your mind?"
Timothy began, "Yesterday, outside your neighborhood, you brought up how it's always been you who's had feelings for me, that it was all one-sided, and that I never reciprocated those feelings—"
Mia's eyes narrowed at this. She awkwardly cut him off, saying, "Alright, please don't keep bringing that up."
Timothy's lips tightened. "That's not how I meant it."
"Timothy, do you still think I haven't endured enough misery for your sake? I'll admit, I once held feelings for you, and maybe I was too presumptuous in marrying you, causing you trouble.
"But now that we're divorced, why do you keep bringing up the past? Don't I deserve some respect?"
Her eyes teared up slightly. "We're all human, with emotions. Can't you let go of it, considering I once loved you?"
With that, Mia left the private room awkwardly.
Was Timothy suddenly showing kindness because he had a change of heart? Or was he concerned about potential backlash from her brothers now that she was the heiress of the Lane family?
After a while, they finally reached the end of the narrow alleyway.
Feeling the cold air and seeing the open road, Mia gradually regained her composure. Instinctively, she tried to withdraw her hand, but Timothy still held on.
She glanced up at him, her eyes reflecting his silhouette.
As their eyes locked, Timothy's throat tightened. "Mia, don't you feel anything?"
Mia's eyes flickered in response. How could she miss his shift in demeanor?
Timothy's intense gaze and his reassuring touch—these were moments she had once longed for.
Yet, at this moment, Mia observed him with an unusually clear perspective. "Timothy, do you have feelings for me?"

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...
