Mia immediately sensed that something was off. Raking her fingers through her hair, she said, "Nick, ignore whatever Dominic told you in the study. They were just kidding."
It slipped her mind that Dominic must've summoned Nicholas to the study because of what Eva said to her earlier. She was awash in embarrassment.
Clearly, Nicholas hadn't wanted to develop a romantic relationship with her—their relationship was strictly platonic. Dominic's meddling was only making things awkward for them.
Nicholas lowered his head and said meekly, "Actually, I don't think I should ignore it."
Mia was baffled.
"To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with what Dominic told me earlier."
Mia was stunned. Spiraling in bewilderment, she was at a loss for words.
As she studied Nicholas closely, she seemed to notice a distinctive glint in his eyes. It finally struck her that he might have feelings for her. Still, she'd failed to spot anything different regarding his attitude toward her.
In fact, Nicholas was more like a brother to her. Not once did her mind ever stray to other possibilities regarding their relationship. However, his response earlier made her realize that certain things had begun to spiral out of her control.
Nicholas' eyes bore into hers. "Mia, I know you're preoccupied with Sage's illness now. But can we talk after he completely recovers after his treatment?"
"Talk?" What is there to talk about? It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?
Mia noted the suggestive tone in his words. She was now completely at a loss for words.

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....
