Chapter 435

Mia’s eyes widened when she heard Jason saying that.
When she was going to say something. Timothy preempted with a brow raised. “But the divorce
papers. were torn. Plus, Mia didn’t sign anything. Legally speaking, we’re still husband and wife.”
Jason almost lost it. Staring right at Timothy, Jason took a few steps forward. “Mind repeating it once
more?”
It would now take a mild trigger before the two men got out of hand at any time.
Reading the air, Mia pulled Jason’s arm. “Enough already. What is there to fight over for such a trivial
matter?”
“Don’t intervene in this, Mia. I’ll make the divorce happen.” Jason was legitimately infuriated by
Timothy.
To Jason, there was nothing Timothy could force Mia into doing. As Jason’s sister, Mia could divorce
someone within minutes!
Timothy sneered. “Oh really? You can try me.”
Shocked, she quickly pulled Jason to the other side. “Cut it out! Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
“Don’t fear him, Mia. He’s just threatening you. It’s not like it can’t happen. Every marriage in this world
is
prone to divorce!”
She played along. “I know. The one–month cooling–off period is going to be over soon anyway. It’s
meaningless to talk about this. Let’s go.”
Timothy, who initially assumed that he had the upper hand, lost his smile as soon as he heard her
statement.
With deep eyes, he watched the duo leave.
Then, he kicked the pebbles next to his feet, frustration bubbling in him. Turning his head, he asked
Heath, “When’s the cooling–off period over?”
“About ten days.”
“What does this mean?” Timothy frowned.
“The cooling–off period for a divorce case is normally a month, but people normally proceed with the
divorce procedure afterward. There’s ample time, though. You have about ten days left.”
“Not this.” Timothy’s expression was steely. He pursed his lips at the thought of the remaining time.
What if we don’t proceed with the divorce procedures after the cooling–off period?”
A glint of hope twinkled in Timothy’s eyes.
They had to file for divorce again if they didn’t do it in time?
Heath continued. “There are other ways to get a divorce. One of them is to take it to the court.”
Hearing that, Timothy sternly instructed, “Find a good divorce lawyer.”
Things weren’t over yet.
On the other side, Mia was sitting next to Jason. Her eyes glanced at him briefly. “Jason, how did your
find me here?”
“Claude called you. He wanted to pick you up from college. But Timothy was the one who answered
the call and they fought. Claude called me to ask about your relationship with Timothy. He was
concerned.”
“Did you tell him?”
Mia was gradually accepting the fact that her brothers were privy to her relationship with Timothy.
There was no secret in this world, after all.
Besides, she was going to Nord City to start a new life soon. So, there was nothing to hide from her
brothers.
Jason focused on the road while saying, “I can’t keep it a secret from him. Claude is a playboy. He
probably has an inkling about it.
“I called your college and searched around the nearby hospitals. That was how I found you.”
