Mia was determined to settle the score with that troublesome Timothy at a later time!
With Claude finally driving away, Mia let out a sigh of relief.
Glancing toward the nearby restaurant, she couldn’t help but think about Timothy’s strange behavior just
moments ago, which left her puzzled.
What exactly did Timothy want to say earlier?
After a moment of contemplation, Mia felt her mind swirling with thoughts. Nonetheless, she eventually
managed to gather herself, determined not to let Timothy’s words shake her.
Upon returning home, Mia went straight to bed.
Lately, she had been experiencing growing fatigue, especially as her bump started growing day by day.
She could already feel discomfort when bending or squatting down.
Gently touching her abdomen, Mia realized she needed to start making arrangements to depart as soon
as possible.
The following day, Mia headed to campus for her scheduled classes.
After her lectures, Riley approached Mia. “Mia, Mr. Shaw asked to see you in his office. He said he has
something to discuss with you.”
Mia couldn’t shake off the embarrassment from the previous night’s unfinished dinner. She wondered
why Kennedy wanted to see her.
Perhaps he wanted to caution her against spreading news of her divorce.
It dawned on Mia that Kennedy’s kindness toward her might be due to knowing about her relationship with Timothy.
Confused, Mia entered Kennedy’s office. As she pushed the door open, Mia was greeted by Kennedy’s enthusiastic voice, “Mia, you’re here! Please, take a seat.
“I’ve asked you to come because I have some exciting news. Following your plano performance yesterday, the professors at our Music School were deeply impressed.
“They’re suggesting that you consider adding another major. What do you think?”
“Are you proposing that I should add piano as another major?”
“Yes, that’s correct. You won’t need to worry about the logistics. The professors will handle everything for you.

“After all, the university is dedicated to nurturing talented students like yourself. How do you feel about this opportunity?”
Mia was surprised by the news. While she was genuinely interested in plano, she didn’t think her talent was substantial enough to merit such special treatment from the college.
The whole situation felt a bit strange to her.
For some reason, Mia’s thoughts drifted to Timothy.
After a moment of consideration, she replied, “Mr. Shaw, I appreciate the offer, but I’m close to finishing the credits for my current major, and I don’t plan to add another one at the moment.”
“Mia, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
“I’ve made up my mind.”
After Mia declined, Kennedy didn’t press the matter further. Mia stood up and walked out of the office.
However, as soon as she was out of sight, Kennedy promptly dialed Heath’s number.
“Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I suggested to Mia that she consider pursuing a music major, but she declined because she wasn’t interested. Could you please pass this on to Mr. Barrett?”
