Mia couldn't help but frown, pondering Timothy's intentions.
Having already drawn considerable attention at the university, Mia was wary of inviting more scrutiny.
Certainly, given her current position as the Lane family heiress, Timothy wouldn't risk acting against her.
Moreover, Mia now had the support of her six brothers.
With these considerations, Mia grabbed her bag and descended the stairs, swiftly slipping into the car to avoid being noticed by others.
Timothy cast a glance at her. "Do all pregnant women dash about like you do?"
Mia's unease became evident. "What's on your mind? Just say it outright. I'm rather busy, you know."
"Start driving."
As the car began to move, Mia's apprehension grew. "Timothy, where are you taking me?"
"Don't worry. I'm not going to harm you."
"I'm warning you, if you try anything with me, my brothers won't let you get away with it!"
Mia had never felt so empowered by her six brothers' support, sensing she held the upper hand. Straightening her posture, she locked eyes with Timothy, her gaze wide and determined.
Observing Mia's smug demeanor, Timothy couldn't resist poking her dimple, finding it rather annoying.
"What are you doing?" Mia quickly moved aside. "Where are you dragging me off to? I still have exams to prepare for, you know."
"Even with your newfound status as the Lane family heiress, are you still worried about a simple exam?" Timothy remarked sarcastically.
"Hmph! No matter my family background, I am still the same person. My aspirations remain unchanged," Mia declared.
Timothy regarded Mia earnestly, his eyes clear and steadfast. He couldn't deny that Mia possessed qualities he both admired and lacked.
Appearing somewhat flustered, Timothy averted his gaze. "I'm planning to take you out for a meal," he stated.
"I'm not interested," Mia replied firmly, refusing his offer outright.
