If Mia's other brothers were to discover her pregnancy, she feared she wouldn't be able to hold them back.
Just as Mia was about to respond, she noticed the reflection on the wine bottle beside her—a man standing at the doorway behind her. Wasn't that Timothy?
What a coincidence! Was his private room adjacent to theirs? How long had Timothy been standing there behind her?
Mia hesitated for a moment, exchanging a glance with Nicholas across from her. "Because the babies aren't his," she finally explained.
Upon hearing this, Nicholas' eyes betrayed a slight flicker of surprise; he wasn't entirely convinced by Mia's explanation.
As Mia's words trailed off, she kept an eye on Timothy's shadow reflected on the wine bottle.
Soon enough, he turned and retreated into the room.
Mia breathed a sigh of relief. She was resolute in keeping the twins' paternity a secret, intending to take them away.
Halfway through the meal, Connor arrived, fashionably late.
"Connor, I ordered your favorite risotto for you," Mia informed him.
Connor took his seat, wearing a smug expression. "As always, Mia knows how to spoil me the most. Having a sister like Mia is truly a blessing. Right, Nick?"
Mia fell silent. Was Connor once again flaunting his closeness with her? How awkward could this get?
Nicholas clenched his utensils, resisting the urge to jab Connor.
Glancing at the neighboring balcony, he deliberately remarked, "I remember our parents discussing arranged marriages when we were kids. They used to joke that if your family had a daughter, she could be my future wife."
Mia nearly choked on her water at the unexpected comment. Was there ever such a proposal?
Connor quickly grew agitated, on the brink of delivering a sarcastic retort.
However, his attention abruptly shifted as he caught sight of a figure on the neighboring balcony—wasn't that Timothy?
In a sudden realization, Connor nodded decisively and remarked, "That sounds about right, Mia. He could be seen as your fiancé, in a way."
Mia found herself utterly bewildered.

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...

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....
