Chapter 390

Timothy stared intently at Mia and finally hissed through gritted teeth, “Very well.”
Mia clenched her hands, determined not to back down for the sake of her child.
“Mia, you and Connor truly are cut from the same cloth. Both of you keep using Grandma Laura to
threaten me,” growled Timothy.
Upon hearing Connor’s name, Mia suddenly tell a panu of anxiety. Did Connor negotiate with Timothy?
Connor was the only brother who knew about her marriage to Timothy and her pregnancy.
Mia telt worried. “Please don’t make things difficult for him. This is my decision. He didn’t agree with me
keeping the child either.”
“He didn’t agree with you keeping the child?” Timothy didn’t expect Connor to also oppose keeping the
child. Then why was Mia so insistent on keeping it?
He angrily tugged at his tic. “It’s foolish to use a child to tie down a man.”
Mia looked up at him mockingly. “I know.”
“And yet you still do it? You truly are a dumb romantic!” Timothy sneered.
After learning about Mia’s health, Timothy sent someone to Investigate whether It was suitable for her
to have an abortion. He even found the best doctor to perform the abortion for her and help her recover
so that she may have children in the future.
Timothy didn’t understand why she was so fixated on Connor.
Mia flashed him a weird smile. “That’s right. If I weren’t a dumb romantic, why would I have. married
you and been at your beck and call for the past three years?’ Timothy, are you so concerned about me
and the child because you want to keep me by your side?”
Mia waited for Timothy’s cold and mocking retort.
But to her surprise, he remained unusually calm, merely gazing deeply at her and making her uneasy.
Finally, Timothy said coldly. “That’s a possibility.”
That caught Mia off guard and made her feel unsettled.
Timothy’s gaze darkened. Under the bright light, Mia couldn’t find any imperfection on his flawless

He continued, “You know Grandma Laura likes you. I even lied that you were pregnant to deceive her
into having surgery. But I didn’t expect you to actually be pregnant. It’s a fortunate
coincidence. If we don’t divorce, we can pretend that nothing happened, and everything will be the
same as before.”
“Everything will be the same as before?” Mia was dumbfounded. Did that mean Timothy didn’t
want a divorce?
She didn’t know what was going on inside Timothy’s head.
Timothy looked uneasy, but he quickly composed himself. “Of course, you can have all the fame and
power you want as Mrs. Barrett. We can share the glory together.”
Mia’s eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat. She blurted out. “But the child isn’t yours.”
“I know. But I never have any demands regarding marriage or children. However, you must cut
ties with Connor and refrain from associating with anyone from the Lane family.” Timothy could
tolerate Mia giving birth to the child, but he wouldn’t allow her to have any contact with the child’s
father!
Mia’s mind was a mess. She couldn’t possibly cut ties with Connor for the sake of the child.
However, Timothy seemed to have misunderstood her relationship with Connor, thinking that her
brother was the father of the child.
“Mia Bowen! That is my bottom line.” Timothy declared, his tone unwavering.
Just as he finished speaking, he received a call from an unknown number. “Hello, this is the police
department. There is a case of kidnapping and assault that requires your presence at the police
station…”
