Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1180

Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.

Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.

As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.

Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.

Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?"

"He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.

Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?"

"Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well.

"At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family lineage. But as time passed, my sentiments evolved, and I genuinely wished for his happiness—envisioning him finding love, establishing a family, and embracing a fulfilling life."

After a brief silence, Mia intervened, "You should take some rest now. I'll go speak to Mrs. Barrett and straighten things out."

"Mia, do you perceive me as a bad person?" Laura's voice quivered with uncertainty.

Mia tenderly clasped Laura's hand, reassuring her, "You've shown him nothing but kindness, and he holds you in high regard. That's what truly counts."

Indeed, capturing the intricacies of human relationships in just a few words proved to be quite challenging.

At that moment, Sage approached Mia. "Mommy, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Mia replied, gently patting Sage's head. "Did you manage to fix that bug?"

"It was just a minor glitch. Nothing too difficult for me to handle," Sage affirmed confidently. Frowning slightly, he added, "But Timothy does seem to have a lot on his plate."

"Yeah, well, Uncle Dominic is just as tied up with work. They're both practically workaholics, aren't they?" Mia remarked casually.
