Mia held her head, taking a moment to recover from the sudden, piercing headache.
Eventually, she lowered her hand and looked at the villa outside, sensing a strange familiarity.
She spoke meaningfully, “Mr. Barrett, if I'm not mistaken, this is the marital hyou shared with your ex-wife, isn't it?” Timothy's eyes narrowed slightly. “Yes.” “Do you reckon anyone would be pleased to see a house where their partner's ex once resided? Feeling uncomfortable is quite normal, wouldn't you agree?” Timothy fell silent, picking up on the sarcasm in her tone. He couldn’t believe how composed she was. How had he not noticed her acting skills before? He continued, “Since we're already here, would you care to joininside?” Upon hearing Timothy's invitation, Mia abruptly turned her head to face him. Mr. Barrett, are you askingout?” A subtle smile graced her lips, while her eyes emitted a charm that was both mature and captivating.

Timothy met Mia's gaze, his throat tightening slightly. “You could say that.” As his words trailed off, Mia leaned in closer, their noses nearly touching, their breaths mingling.
Timothy's breath caught as he looked into her deep, enigmatic eyes.
Suddenly, Mia chuckled, dispelling the tension. “Mr. Barrett, we've only just established our relationship. Isn't it a bit hasty to be moving things along so quickly? | prefer taking things slow.” As Mia spoke, she adjusted his loosened tie. “Besides, Mr. Barrett, you've had a bit too much to drink today. You should go back and rest early to avoid a headache tomorrow morning.” As Mia was about to leave, Timothy suddenly grasped her wrist.
Mia's heart skipped a beat. What was Timothy up to now? She looked up into his deep eyes, forcing a sinile. “Mr. Barrett, is there something else you'd like to say to me?” For sreason, Mia sensed that Timothy was acting strangely today, but she couldn't quite pinpoint why.
As Timothy gazed at Mia before him, he couldn't resist reaching out to touch her face. “You bear a striking resemblance to her.” “Mr. Barrett, | understand that your ex-wife looks a lot like me, but | am not her, nor am | a replacement for any woman! “If you seeas a substitute for your ex-wife, you'll be disappointed sooner or later. I'm not a woman who will simply follow your lead.” “I'm well aware of that.” After all, the old Mia had never been one to comply easily. After their divorce, she had been ruthless, causing him pain.
Nonetheless, Timothy couldn't forget about Mia over the years.
Now that he discovered Mia had faked her death and deceived him for four years, his emotions were a tumultuous mix of anger and surprise.
Mia forced a smile. “Mr. Barrett, since you're aware, could you please letgo? | need to hurry back to the hospital and accompany Ginger. She must be frightened.

all alone.” Mia couldn't shake the feeling that Timothy was like a whole different person when he was drunk.
Gazing down at her, Timothy asked, “How old is Ginger?” “She’s almost four, and her birthday is next month. Why do “In that case, did you meet Ginger’s father four years ago?” you ask?”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of wariness passed through Mia's eyes.Why was he suddenly interested in Ginger's father? She nodded cautiously. “Yes.” “Do you really have no knowledge about Ginger’s father?”
