Chapter 351
The time for Mia to go to the courthouse would crash with her piano shopping with Claude. She was stuck in a dilemma, what was she going to do?
She said hesitantly. “If it’s tomorrow
“Oh, silly me. You have school tomorrow, don’t you? I’ll drop you at your college tomorrow.” Claude wished that he could drop her at school.
After all, it fitted the good brother image he had been dreaming of since a long time ago.
That caught her off guard. “No need for the trouble, Claude.”
“What do you mean trouble? It’s my off day tomorrow. What’s wrong with dropping you off at college? Rest up, Mia. I’ll come on time to pick you up tomorrow.”
“Claude!” Before she could say anything, he had left.
Things were getting out of hand. She had an appointment with Timothy tomorrow morning and she had classes in the afternoon.
Judging from the way Claude acted, he didn’t seem like he would accept a refusal.
What should she do to resolve the problem?
It was the very day Mia would divorce Timothy and cut ties with him. At the same time, she didn’t want Claude to find out about her relationship with Timothy lest he found fault with Timothy.
If Claude got on Timothy’s bad books, there was no way Claude could run his music academy in Bern City!
Things were going to end between Mia and Timothy, so she didn’t want to cause another trouble.
Returning to her bedroom, she racked her brain for a solution. What excuse could she make so that Claude wouldn’t drop her off at college?
If she turned down his offer, would it upset him? He seemed so excited a while ago. Still, she didn’t wish for him to know her relationship with Timothy.

However, the incessant calls didn’t stop as if Felix wouldn’t give up until she picked up his call.
When the ringing finally stopped, he texted her, “Mia, I’m outside your place. If you don’t pick up. the call, I’m going to knock on each door until you respond.”
That was it. Her patience had reached its limit.
She called him back. “Felix, I’ve cleared my feelings up with you. We’re not compatible.”
“Mia, you finally answered my call! Don’t worry about what happened back on campus. I’ll make up for it with another confession.”
“I don’t need that because I won’t accept your feelings,” she blurted coldly.
“Why not? Mia, if you’re beaten down by the fact that you’re a divorced woman, don’t be. Don’t let it get to you because I don’t mind it at all. The one I like is you.”
Mia finally experienced first–hand how it felt like to talk past each other in a conversation.
She massaged her forehead. “But I don’t feel the same way.”
“Mia, I know your mind is a mess right now. You don’t have to turn me down this quickly. I can give you time to think about it. Good night, my dear.” With that, he ended the call.
