Mia scrutinized Ginger, sensing a hint of guilt in her expression. Why did she sound so certain earlier?
Her eyes bore into Ginger's as she asked, "Tell me, Ginger. How are you so sure?"
Ginger fumbled with her fingers nervously as she muttered, "I just know. Daddy won't take Sage and I away from you." He had promised her that he wouldn't, but that was a secret between the two of them.
Mia asked, "Who would you pick if you really had to choose?"
Ginger immediately threw herself into her arms. "Of course it's you, Mommy."
A surge of warmth flooded through Mia as she embraced Ginger. She planted a few kisses on Ginger, moved by Ginger's unwavering loyalty to her.
It seemed like she was merely speculating earlier. Timothy hadn't met Ginger that often, after all.
"I'll bring you to the hospital later. Remember to not blow your own cover," Mia reminded her.
"Alright, Mommy."
Mia took Ginger's hand and said, "I promise I'll find a suitable chance to let Timothy know about you and Sage once Sage gets better."
She had always wanted to protect her children. However, she also came to realize that her children had begun to develop their own opinions, judging from what Ginger said earlier.
If her children insisted on meeting Timothy, she wouldn't stop them. Still, all this had to wait until Sage recovered completely.
Mia even role-played a scene where Timothy came to visit after a discussion with Ginger. Given her previous experience, Ginger was exceptionally good this time. Her act should be able to fool Timothy.
