“Your second older brother, Nathan Lane, is a great programmer. He’s led hispany to win many
awards and helped build many important firewalls,” Dominic said.

“Your third older brother, Connor Lane, is a volunteer for a Red Cross Society abroad. He focuses on
saving injured animals and helping people to understand the lives of these animals.
“Your oldest cousin, ude Lane, is a piano teacher, while your second older cousin, Jason Lane,
works at aw firm. Last but not least, your third older cousin, Liam Lane, is currently an extra at a film
set.”
Dominic felt he’d done a pretty good job at exining things. He hadn’t lied to Mia at all.
Nathan was an infamous hacker, so he was good at programming, right?
Connor was a renowned surgeon-rather than saving people, he preferred saving animals.
ude was a famous pianist-when he wasn’t busy with concerts, he would conduct piano lessons at
an
academy.
Jason was a well-knownwyer-he did indeed work at aw firm. It was just that thew firm belonged
to
him.
And Liam was an award-winning actor-he’d started his career as an extra before eventually winning
awards.
Mia nodded. Dominic was a real estate agent, Nathan was a geek, and Connor was a vet. ude was
a piano teacher, Jason was awyer, and Liam was an extra.
It seemed that fantasies were just that-fantasies and dreams.
Still, she was surprised to suddenly have so many brothers and cousins. They all had different jobs,
too.
Patricia seemed a little disappointed that Mia’s family wasn’t wealthy. “We should head back after this
meal, then. This hotel has to be expensive. Mia, it can’t have been easy for Dominic to earn a living as
a real estate
agent.”
She supposed it didn’t matter whether they were rich. All was fine as long as they treated Mia well,
“No, no, money isn’t an issue. Uh, I mean, I’ve earned quite a lot as a real estate agent,” Dominic
hurriedly said.
Mia knew Dominic was trying to be sincere. She held Patricia’s hand and said, “Real estate agents do
earn quite a lot. Since the rooms have already been reserved, we should just enjoy ourselves here for
one night.”
Only then did Patricia reluctantly agree.
Dominic secretly sighed in relief. His wife always had the best ideas!
After dinner, they headed upstairs to the presidential suite. Mia had nned on chatting with Patricia
for a while longer, but she fell asleep shortly after getting into bed. She had a good night’s rest and
didn’t wake up
until the next morning.
She was awoken by her rm.
In the past, Mia would get up at 7:00 am daily to prepare breakfast for Timothy, and she’d done it for
three years without fail.
She turned the rm off. From today onward, she didn’t want to try to win Timothy’s heart anymore.
After a short while, her phone rang. She checked it to see a name that she would never forget-Timothy.
Throughout their three-year marriage, he’d never called her once. If this were in the past, she’d be
ted. But now, she no longer wanted to answer his call.
It didn’t take long for the phone to fall silent, but Mia couldn’t go back to sleep anymore. This was her
first
time rejecting Timothy, and she felt ratherplicated about it.
Soon, she received another call from one of the maids. This time, she answered it. “Hello? What’s
wrong?”
“Mrs. Barrett, where is Mr. Barrett’s favorite blue tie?”
Mia didn’t want to answer, but she couldn’t stand the thought of the maid being scolded. So, she said,
“It’s at the leftmost side of the second drawer.”
In the next second, Timothy’s icy voice rang out on the other end of the line. “You’d bettere back to
dig that tie out for me, Mia. I don’t like having other women step into my bedroom!”
Mia sneered at how indifferent and demanding he sounded. “We’re getting a divorce, Mr. Barrett. You
can have Maya find it for you!”
