Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 574

"Aunt Patricia, please stop," Mia interrupted Patricia abruptly. "I've already made up my mind to return to Nord City and live with my brothers, and I'm not considering remarriage."

"Very well, I respect your decision. But you should understand that women and men are different.

"Generally, second marriages don't turn out as well as the first ones. Besides, Mr. Barrett comes from a respectable background; I'm only concerned for your well-being."

Having said her piece, Patricia withdrew to her room for some rest.

Despite this, Mia understood where Patricia was coming from.

In Patricia's generation, there was a prevailing traditional belief that divorced women might encounter difficulties in finding suitable remarriages.

Instead, they were considered to be better off returning to assume the role of the young mistress in a prestigious household, such as the Barrett family.

However, Patricia remained unaware that Mia's brothers were part of the Lane family, a prominent household in Nord City.

She also remained oblivious to the fact that Mia was pregnant with Timothy's children.

As Mia tenderly touched her belly, her gaze became resolute.

She knew that Timothy's affection for her was not genuine. After all, his endurance throughout their three-year marriage had been solely for Laura's sake.

His sudden change in demeanor was probably driven by a guilty conscience, seeking to make amends.

Mia knew deep down that Timothy had never genuinely cared for her, not even once.

Mia's eyes brimmed with bitterness. Three years prior, she had been naively in love, but she had long grown weary of the hardships that came with it; there was no turning back for her now.

If she ever decided to marry again, it would be with a man she genuinely cared for.

The following day, when Mia woke up, she was taken aback to see Claude, Connor, and Liam, the actor, all present.

She expressed her surprise, "Liam, aren't you supposed to be occupied with filming? How did you manage to make time to come here?"

Liam smiled. "I took an overnight flight to accompany you for your exam. Afterward, I'll return to resume filming. I still have some time."

The selection of a male doctor left Timothy feeling utterly infuriated.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his expression; couldn't the Lane family have arranged for a female obstetrician instead?

The thought of another man being around Mia, let alone picturing her marrying and starting a family with someone else, ignited an indescribable rage within Timothy.

"Mr. Barrett, I've also uncovered something else," Heath said nervously.

Timothy massaged his temples. "Go ahead," he replied wearily.

"We've learned that Mrs. Barrett's visa application procedures have been completed, and her flight to Nord City is scheduled for next week."

"Are you sure it's next week?"

Timothy tightened his grip on the documents. Next week coincided with the private banquet Laura was organizing. Was Mia intending to attend the banquet before leaving for Nord City?

At that moment, Timothy felt a stifling sensation in his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
