Chapter 660
Mia’s innocent tone only served to infuriate Luna.
“The floor isn’t slippery. You did that on purpose!” Luna’s resolve didn’t waver as she refused to concede.
Quickly, Mia signaled to the restaurant manager. “The floor is too slippery, and I almost slipped. Please clarify the situation to this lady over here.”
The manager addressed Luna promptly. “Apologies, the humidity is high due to the recent rain. Let me arrange for a doctor for you, Ms. Maynard. We’ll take full responsibility.”
Luna was rendered speechless, not expecting the restaurant manager to take it upon himself so quickly. Left with no choice, she gave up.
Mia flashed a meaningful smile at Luna. “Ms. Maynard, you should hurry to the doctor. It would be a shame if it left a scar on you.”
Luna’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Timothy. It was as if she hoped for him to speak up for
her.
“Go to the doctor,” his voice was flat.
The hope in her eyes faded.
Luna felt that Timothy had neglected her since Monalize entered their lives. If before, he would surely stand up for her without hesitation.
Standing next to Timothy, Mia waved at Luna. “Bye.”
Luna gritted her teeth so hard that they threatened to shatter. Initially planning a pitiful act, she found Mia had outsmarted her.
A flicker of amusement danced in Mia’s eyes at Luna’s fuming expression. Luna had it coming for her.
“Are you happy now?”
Upon hearing that, Mia shifted her gaze toward Timothy. “What’s that supposed to mean, Mr. Barrett? I almost went flying a moment ago, you know! I was so scared.
Timothy didn’t expose her.
One thing was undeniable–this woman resembled nothing like Mia Bowen other than looks!

By the time Mia took her food and returned to the table, Ginger and Caleb were playing something.
Ginger lifted her head. “Mommy, you’re back.”
Mia merely spared Caleb a glance before checking Ginger’s plate. “Good girl. You finished them all.”
A guilty smile plastered on Ginger’s face. “Mommy, I’m going to the playground with the bad guy. Have fun with Mister!”
Mia understood what Ginger was up to. The latter was trying to give them personal space.
Mia’s eye stayed on Caleb for a second. “Ginger, are you sure?”
“Yes, I’ll behave.”
Caleb spoke up, “The bodyguard and I will look after her.”
