FreeNovelChapter 559 Upon spotting Timothy's car, Mia promptly responded to Jeremy over the phone, “Absolutely. I'm currently outside the study hall. Would you mind meetinghere?” “Sure thing, I'll be right there.” After ending the call, Mia remained standing alone outside the study hall. Though she noticed Timothy's car, she refrained from approaching it, pretending not to have seen it.
Before long. Timothy emerged from the car, his eyes fixed on her. Feeling his gaze, Mia diverted her attention to the sky above.
“The rain last night was intense, but today’s sky is remarkably clear and blue,” she mused silently.

Standing on the steps, he watched her, reminiscent of their encounter the previous night.
Unable to ignore him, Mia turned to face Timothy. “There's a flying cow up there. Didn't you see it?” she remarked sarcastically.
Timothy was taken aback by her retort. His eyes were tinged with red as he had barely slept throughout the night.
His mind was consumed by Mia’s words. She claimed it had consistently been her unreciprocated love, asserting that he had never held any feelings for her.
Timothy had meant to clear things up the previous night pagt Claude had cut him off.
Timothy's expression turned somewhat awkward as he admitted, “Actually, what you said last night wasn't entirely true.” Mia looked at him in surprise, wondering what she had said the night before.
“Mia!” just then, jeremy’s voice interrupted. He briskly walked over, noticing Mia standing face-to-face with another man.

It's the perfect tfor a snack.” Mia glanced at the snack box in Jeremy’s hands. “These are from that famous snack place near the university, right? There's usually quite a queue. I've encountered the crowd so frequently that I've given up trying to buy anything.” “Well it just so happens that | have a junior colleague who works there part-time, and he broughta portion.
What a coincidence to have such connections, am | right?” Jeremy replied with a polite expression.
As Jeremy finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze fall upon him. Confidently, he turned to look at the man standing on the steps, expecting him to back off.
However, as Jeremy realized the man’s identity, his expression abruptly changed-it was Timothy.
Jeremy almost lost his balance, stuttering as he spoke, “M-Mr. Barrett?” Timothy's narrow gaze intensified as he glanced at the snacks Jeremy had purchased. His thin lips formed a cold line as he remarked, “You seem to be getting rather close to my wife, don’t you think?” Sensing Timothy's hostility. Jeremy quickly clarified, “Oh, no, you've misunderstood. Mia and | are simply classmates.” “The tone in which you say her nsounds rather affectionate.” “No, no, Mia is just naturally friendly. We all casually address her by her name. There's no deeper significance to it!” Jeremy swiftly clarified, his survival instincts prompting his response.
Though he desired to grow closer to Mia, he certainly didn’t want to provoke her ex-husband, Timothy.
Observing the unfolding situation, the corner of Mia's lips twitched. What exactly was Timothy trying to insinuate? Unable to endure Timothy's expression, she swiftly turned to Jeremy and suggested. “Weren't you planning to treatto lunch? Let's go. I'm hungry anyway.” Sensing the tension, Jeremy nervously glanced at Timothy. “Mr. Barrett, do you have any plans for the evening?” Mia promptly interjected, remarking, “Considering he’s the CEO of the Barrett Group, he’s always occupied with numerous responsibilities. It’s unlikely he has any spare time.” With that said, she was about to usher Jeremy away.
However, Timothy calmly descended the steps, glancing at Heath beside him. “Do | have any plans for the evening?”
