Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 

Mia hadn’t anticipated Timothy revisiting this question, and it was getting increasingly difficult for her to respond

With a hint of condescension, Timothy watched her struggle. Having trouble answering?he teased

Not exactly.Mia replied, pausing briefly as she met his gaze. So, would you prefer the truth or a fabrication

* she asked

Perhaps silence would be best.Timothy retorted indifferently before walking away

As Mia took a step forward, she noticed the dog standing beside her, its tail wagging eagerly as it looked at 

her

She stopped in her tracks, and instinctively stepped back. Please, stay right there,she implored, her eyes fixed on the dog

While she held no ill will toward the creature, suppressed childhood fears surfaced as the dog moved closer

Here, boy.” 

Just as Mia contemplated a quick escape, Timothy, who had just disappeared into obscurity moments ago

reappeared to rescue Mia

Beneath the soft glow of the streetlight, he reached out his hand to her

At the sight of Timothy, the dog promptly sat down, its tail wagging gently

The dog is sitting now. Walk to me, Mia.” 

I I can’t do it!Mia stammered

You’ve got a count of ten,Timothy declared

Mia wondered why Timothy didn’t simply approach her himself

Still, she understood Timothy’s characterwhen he said ten seconds,he meant precisely that

Gathering all the courage within her, Mia swiftly ran toward Timothy

Timothy’s gaze softened as he watched Mia sprinting courageously toward him. A faint smile played at his 

lips, recognizing that some emotional wounds required a gradual approach for genuine healing

Suddenly, Mia found herself enveloped in Timothy’s arms once again

Timothy stood still, his onceextended hand now gracefully lowering

For a fleeting moment, his fingers rested gently on her back before tightening ever so slightly

With a trace of anxiety in her voice, Mia asked. The dog didn’t follow us, right?” 

Timothy reassured her. No, it didn’t.” 

+15 BONOS 

Mia eventually mustered the courage to look back, relieved to find the imposing dog had vanished. I was really terrified just now,she admitted

Moving past the spot where the dog had been, a lingering fear gnawed at her. She feared it might suddenly reappear and lunge at her

From a higher vantage point, Timothy’s calm voice resonated, How much longer do you plan to cling on?” 

Mia’s hand hesitated. Then, she loosened her grip and took a step back. Ahem, my bad. It was just a reflex!” 

With a hint of mockery. Timothy teased, Consider that your one free pass.” 

At Timothy’s comment, Mia’s expression soured instantly. She was irked by it

Seriously, I’m carrying a child. Would you leave me if a dog were to chase me? I might complain to Grandma about your inaction,Mia warned

You’re more intimidating than that dog, you could have easily scared it away yourself. After all, you’re not really pregnant right now.” 

Who says I’m noMy point is, if we’re going to put on a show, let’s make it convincing, so we don’t blow our 

cover.” 

Mia caught herself just in time, realizing she was close to revealing too much

Acting required skill, and she had to tread carefully

Walking behind him, she noticed his shadow cast under the streetlamp. Intentionally lagging a step, she 

mischievously stepped on his silhouette

Catching her antics from the corner of his eye, Timothy smirked. Mia, resorting to childish tricks?” 

What did I do? I wasn’t doing anything!Mia protested

Don’t assume I missed that,Timothy replied coldly
