Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 879

Upon hearing Eva's words, Timothy froze in place, his eyes momentarily betraying his bewilderment.

Love?

The notion had never crossed his mind before.

"Timothy, your silence speaks volumes. It's clear that Mia doesn't hold a special place in your heart. So why do you keep entangling yourself with her?"

Eva's calm voice effortlessly cornered Timothy, leaving him with no escape.

Timothy remained rooted on his spot, realizing he was trapped with no way out.

In that instant, he felt even more vulnerable than when he was surrounded and attacked by those bodyguards earlier.

Though his throat moved, Timothy couldn't manage to utter a single word in response.

With a faint smile playing on her lips, Eva observed, "Since you don't love Mia, there's no need to keep up this facade. Gaining custody of Ginger is an unattainable goal for you, and if your heart isn't in it, why bother? After all, wasn't it you who filed for divorce?"

Tiny droplets of sweat began to form on Timothy's forehead as he faced Eva's probing questions, unsure of how to respond.

He knew that any attempts to defend himself now would be futile.

"Mr. Barrett, it's time for you to leave. There's no place for you here," Eva declared.

As she turned away, Timothy's voice broke the silence. "She's always been in my heart."

"Mr. Barrett, merely having her in your heart isn't enough. Do you truly love her, or is it just your guilt speaking?"

Eva's interrogation left Timothy with nowhere to turn to, forcing him to confront his true feelings.

Timothy's voice lowered, laden with uncertainty. "I'm not even sure what love truly means. Mia, she's… she's different to me. If this is what love feels like..."

"Mr. Barrett, love doesn't entertain 'ifs'," Eva interjected firmly, her gaze unwavering. "If you don't truly love Mia, then you have no right to involve yourself in her life. As her family, please understand our wish to safeguard her heart. It's about mutual respect, isn't it?"

At that moment, Timothy felt like a defeated soldier, standing forlornly in place.

Eva's words had indeed struck a chord within him.
