A smile graced Mia's lips as she responded, "Just curious, that's all." "Mommy, I have no interest in seeing him. Ginger might have been influenced, but not me." Sage's stance was unwavering; he had no intention of acknowledging Timothy.

Mia offered Sage a comforting pat on the head. "It's alright. However you choose to engage with him, it's entirely your decision. Mommy won't meddle." "Mommy, does that mean you won't intervene if we choose to accept that man in the future?" Feeling a pang of sorrow, Mia replied, "Yes, I won't interfere." After all, she believed that every child deserves to have a father.
Sage spoke sincerely, "Mommy, since that man didn't want us before, I won't acknowledge him now. Don't let his sweet talk fool you." "Mommy won't," Mia assured him.

At dinner, Ginger and Sage eventually made amends, their earlier argument seemingly forgotten.
As Mia checked her phone, she spotted a missed call from Peyton.
Stepping outside to return the call, she asked, "What's up?" "Ms. Mia, remember how you taskedwith keeping an eye on Mr. Barrett? Well, today he went straight to the Barrett Group's branch office. I suspect it's probably to handle the partnership with the Bowen family." "Okay, thanks for lettingknow," Mia said before hanging up.

Another day had passed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the luxurious five-star hotel, Timothy found himself immersed in managing the conglomerate's affairs/ Having been absent for several days, there was a considerable backlog of work demanding his attention. Upon concluding a video conference, he turned to Heath and quired, "When is the signing ceremony with the Bowen family scheduled?" ¡w"It's set for 2:00 pm, at The Grand Auburn Hotel," Heath responded promptly.
"Very well, is everything arranged?" Timothy asked, his eyes glinting with resolve.
He was determined to thwart any potential partnership between the Barrett Group's branch office and the Bowen family.
In the past, Timothy had never directly overseen the operations of the Nord City branch.
Given the Lane family's considerable influence in the city, they consistently undermined the branch's business operations. Timothy understood the underlying reasons and therefore refrained from imposing any demands on the subsidiary's performance. Despite these obstacles, Timothy had no desire to pursue a partnership with a company such as the Bowen Group.
Caleb cast a glance at Timothy and inquired, "Any updates from Mrs. Barrett's end?" Given Timothy's recent visit to the subsidiary to discuss terminating the partnership it seemed likely that Ralph would enlist Sharon's intervention. Before Timothy could respond, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Sharon.
Waving his phone in his hand, he commented, "Well, speak of the devil, right?" Caleb cleared his throat before saying, "I was just asking casually, but what a coincidence." Timothy glanced at his phone but chose not to answer.
He was well aware of Sharon's purpose for calling, but he had no intention of complying this time. Putting his phone into his back pocket, Timothy turned and made his way outside.
Once everyone was in the car, Caleb broke the silence. "Hey, Tim, do you think Mia will show up?" Timothy quipped, "You're the one who asked Mia to come." Caleb paused, feeling a bit sheepish. Had mentioning her nstruck a nerve? Taking out his phone, Caleb suggested, "I'll give her a call and find out."
