Mia was surprised to learn that Timothy wasn't actually that spiteful, although he was friends with Caleb.
Still, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she had met him before. She just couldn't remember.
"Mommy, when will my watch be fine?" Ginger took out the watch that fell into the cup.
The bodyguard ensured her that it would function again once the water dried out.
Mia took the watch. "How did you drop it into the cup?"
"The bad lady wanted to steal my watch and it fell into the cup." Ginger balled her fists angrily when she brought it up.
Mia knew that Ginger was referring to the pretentious lady right away.
She handed it to Wade. "Fix it."
Ginger's eyes didn't leave her watch for one second. She stood on her toes, requesting, "Grandpa Wade, could you make it quick?"
"Don't worry, Ms. Ginger. I'll return it to you as soon as I have it fixed." He walked away with it.
"Are you in a rush to use it? I never see you cherish it so much." Mia sat behind Ginger to tie her messy hair into pigtails.
Ginger was happy with her new hairstyle. "B-Because I want to call that nice uncle."
"You like him that much?"
Ginger beamed. "He's nice! Mommy, can I change my father?"
Ginger's secret trip to Xanier Island was actually a search to look for Caleb, and Mia knew that.
The glint in Mia's eyes dimmed. "Didn't I say that it's the same as having six uncles? Do you regret it?"
Ginger pouted, "B-Because I'm curious. I don't want that guy to become my father. I want that nice uncle to become my father."
Mia was amused. This was the first time Ginger took a liking to a man.
Smiling, Mia promised, "Okay. I'll win his heart and make him your father."
