Meet My Brothers

“Your second older brother, Nathan Lane, is a great programmer. He’s led his company 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, Claude Lane, is a piano teacher, while your second older cousin, Jason Lane, works at a law 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 explaining 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.

Claude was a famous pianist-when he wasn’t busy with concerts, he would conduct piano lessons at an

academy.

Jason was a well-known lawyer-he did indeed work at a law firm. It was just that the law 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. Claude was a piano teacher, Jason was a lawyer, 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 planned 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.

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 alarm 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 elated. 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 rather complicated 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 better come 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!”
