Upon hearing Timothy's confident tone, Mia was overcome with guilt. After all, she had been sleeping alone all these years, and no one had ever mentioned her poor sleeping posture.
But admitting that she had willingly cuddled up to him felt too embarrassing.
Mia retorted, "That was then, this is now. My current sleeping habits are fine. You must have leaned on me on purpose while I was asleep."
If she didn't adhere to moral standards, nobody could use morality against her.
As they argued, a flight attendant intervened, "Ms. Lane, Mr. Barrett, the plane is about to begin its descent. Please adjust your seats and fasten your seat belts."
Upon the flight attendant's arrival, Mia finally stopped talking and silently adjusted her seat, fastening her seatbelt.
Soon, the plane touched down at Nord City International Airport.
Seeing the familiar surroundings, Mia reached for the box beside her and opened it to ensure the bone marrow was safely inside. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
As the plane came to a stop, Mia peeked out the window. Upon spotting the people waiting for her arrival, she felt her body stiffen.
Turning to Timothy, she asked, "Are you sure you want to disembark with me?"
Mia was taken aback by how quickly her brothers had arrived.
She was convinced that if Timothy came down with her, it could escalate into a violent confrontation later, potentially resulting in Timothy getting injured.
After all, they were now in Nord City, a far cry from Bern City, which was under the control of the Barrett family. Adding to the tension, Mia's brothers harbored a long-standing grudge against the Barretts.
