Semua Bab Meet My Brothers: Bab 651 - Bab 660

Mia and Ginger went to Tanner to redeem what he promised in case he would take his word back and trick them.Timothy's gaze darted to the box in Ginger's arms. The reishi mushrooms should be in there.He offered, "I need the reishi mushrooms. Name a figure."Ginger grew guilty. When she was going to say that it was a present for him, Mia preempted, "Sorry, but they're sold to us. It's not for sale and we don't need money."Unable to contain his emotions anymore, Caleb stepped forward. "If there's anything, you can just come right at me. Tim needs the reishi mushrooms to treat someone. I hope you can understand our situation. Let's get along."Mia stomped on his foot. "Who wants to get along with you, jerk!"She didn't want to waste her time here. When she was going to leave with Ginger, Luna blocked the way.Standing by the stairs, Luna said, "Ms. Monalize, the reishi mushrooms are important to Tim and this is between you and Caleb. You shouldn't drag outsiders into the fray."

Mia opened her suitcase, wondering what she should wear for her date later that evening. Her eyes ran through her options as she replied to Wade, "What is it?""Ms. Mia, Mr. Dominic told me to inform him when you meet your ex-husband."Her hands paused. "Why are you telling me this?""Because I respect your decision."That answer elicited a smile from her. "You sure have a way with your words. Don't worry. I'm not interested in my ex-husband. Dominic is just worried that I might lose control of my emotions when I meet my ex-husband. Look at me now. I'm completely fine."Four years ago, she managed to narrowly avert losing her babies in an accident, albeit at the cost of her memories with Timothy.A sigh escaped from Wade. There was something he hadn't said—"You've got the wrong person, Ms. Mia. Mr. Barrett is your ex-husband!"She noticed his troubled expression. "You're overthinking. You can contact my doctor. Ask him if I'm doing good lately."He figured that it was a good id

Timothy's heart sank the moment he heard Mia's answer. If the mole had always been there, then she wasn't Mia Bowen!"Why the question?" Her eyes didn't leave him.He filled his wine glass and downed it all. Noticing the shift in his mood, she wondered if the mole was ugly on her.He placed the wine glass down, and a drop of wine trickled from his lips to his clothes. It took a fleeting second for him to become a deflated balloon.His Adam's apple bobbed. "Let's talk business, Ms. Monalize. The reishi mushrooms, what should I do to get them?"It was Timothy's attempt to switch the topic. Mia realized that he didn't want to talk about the previous topic anymore. Suppressing the curiosity in her, she beamed. "That depends on what you can offer."The glint in his eyes dimmed. "Tell me your terms." "How am I supposed to do that when I have everything? Besides, you're the one making a request. You should think about how to make me happy so that I'm willing to give them to you."

Mia and Ginger showered. Mia was hugging Ginger. "Were you afraid when you sneaked out?""Nope. I brought all my weapons." Ginger began describing how she taught Caleb—that bad guy—and that bad woman a lesson vividly.Mia's mood got better because of the story. She knew Ginger very well.Similar to Mia, Ginger was never the one to tolerate something.Mia gently stroked Ginger's head. "Where did you sleep last night?""I slept with Mister and that bad guy. I wet the sheets when I woke up." Ginger was quite embarrassed when she mentioned that. She covered her face, her voice muffled as she asked, "Mommy, why do I still wet the sheets? I'm already a grown-up.""You're still a kid. Once you become an adult, you won't do that anymore. Still, I have to admit that you've grown up a lot." Mia's finger traced Ginger's ear. "Ginger, Mister is good friends with Caleb. Doesn't it bother you?""That works for me. That bad guy must treat you with respect when you date Mister."A giggle r

As soon as Mia said that, Luna's expression shifted.There was mischief in Mia's eyes. She never held back when dealing with a pretentious person. Not when she knew what Luna did to Ginger.On top of that, Ginger liked Timothy—all the more reason for Mia to eliminate her potential competitors. Timothy frowned at Luna. "What are you doing here?"Luna let out a weak smile. "Tim, I'm alright now. It's just scrapes. So, I came out to have a walk and have breakfast."Mia looked toward where Ginger was seated. "I'll bring the food to Ginger first."She then made her way to Ginger. "Finish everything.""Mommy, is the bad woman here to cause trouble again?" Ginger was anxious."Relax. I know how to deal with people like her," assured Mia as she placed the plate down.Then, she returned to the buffet section, to Luna's side. "Ms. Maynard, there are better ways to show your feelings. You shouldn't stoop that low. Besides, it doesn't work that way."Luna's eyes dimmed, and she retorted
