Mia faltered. "I'll let you off the hook today."
"Wait. What's going on between you and Nicholas?"
Mia raised her brows. "Why do you ask?"
Loosening his tie, Timothy said, "As your ex-husband, can't I ask about your relationship status? Who you're going to date matters to the kids as well. As their father, I should be concerned about this issue."
"Mr. Barrett, I didn't expect you to be so nosy," Mia remarked.
Timothy's expression stiffened. "Well, it turns out I'm nosy."
"Are you jealous, Timothy?"
This was an intentional question. She knew his arrogance would prevent him from admitting his true feelings.
"Yeah, I am jealous."
Mia was stunned. His answer caught her off guard.
"Mia, I'm being serious. I want to court you again and salvage our relationship—"
Before Timothy could end his sentence, the call ended abruptly.
He stared at his phone in a daze. Then, he texted Mia.
"I won't give up."
Sitting on the edge of her bed, Mia saw the text he sent. She didn't bother to reply to him.
As she scrolled through their conversation, it was evident that he sent more messages than she did. She basically didn't reply much.
This reminded her a lot of how she used to treat Timothy five years ago. Now, their positions had reversed.
