"You'll come to empathize with me once you've experienced poverty. I was literally broke, and I couldn't afford a thing," Timothy stated nonchalantly.
He never lacked money. However, the hardship of life finally struck him when he felt humiliated for not being able to afford his daughter's gift.
Caleb remembered how Timothy stooped so low to work as a bodyguard in Nord City.
He rubbed his nose. "Well, you're doing all this to pursue Mia, aren't you? I told you how it'd turn out back then, but you were stubborn. Now you're regretting it."
Timothy met his eyes. "What did you tell me back then?"
"Stop playing dumb, Tim. I asked you whether you liked Mia back then and you denied it. You even suggested to divorce her. Now ask yourself whether you regret doing that. Things might have turned out differently if you hadn't mentioned a divorce."
Timothy fell silent instantly, tightening his grip on the 500-dollar toy. He'd never been particularly bothered by any gifts before, but this toy hit different.
He said after a long pause, "It's a shame that I can't turn back time. You can't cry over spilled milk, after all."
He never believed in love for the past few decades of his life. He never would have imagined himself going to such extreme lengths for a woman's sake, yet here he was. However, he thought that this was what he deserved nonetheless.
Noting the tense atmosphere, Caleb shifted the topic promptly. "What do you plan to do next? Mia made it clear that she wants you to leave right away. Nord City is the Lane family's territory, and you'll surely get yourself into more trouble if you continue to stay here."
"Nord City might be wrapped around the Lane family's little finger, but they don't necessarily have a say in every single thing," Timothy retorted.

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....
