DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter M 73
Chapter 73
A wave of awkwardness washed through Mia as she sat on the mattress,
Even a slight movement from her would make her legs brush against Timothy’s legs, looking as if she was
trying to hook up with him.
Gritting her teeth, she said, “Mr. Barrell, excuse me.”
However, Timothy didn’t budge at all.
He lowered his gaze and replied, “You picked this mattress. Shouldn’t you try it out for me to see whether it’s
as good as you mentioned?”
“I have tried it. You’ll know once you sleep on it at night, Mr. Barrett.”
“You’ve tried it already, huh? With whom?”
Timothy narrowed his eyes as he continued to pester her. “I heard you bought a new house, right? Is it going through renovation already?”
Mia frowned, It had to be Wilhelmina, the blabbermouth. She must’ve told Shelly about it.
She kept her composure as she replied, “Yeah, I did. Is It against the law that I bought a house?”
“Do you need me to remind you that we’re still a couple legally? You’d better watch out for the consequences if you dare dally around with another man.” 1
Dallying around with other men? As expected, the words that came out of Shelly’s mouth would be of no good.
With an indescribable expression, Mia tugged his tie as she retorted, “We’ve signed the divorce agreement. and legally, we’re no longer a couple. So who I am with right now is none of your concern.”
“Mia, did you not understand what I said earlier? I don’t like repeating myself.”
In defiance, Mia snapped, “Why? You cheated on me, so I’m doing the same to you. Isn’t it fair enough?”
Timothy snarled, “Mia Bowen!”
All of a sudden, Mia grabbed his tie and yelled. “I’m not deaf. I can hear you clearly!”
Yet. Timothy was caught off guard. He lost his balance and fell on top of her. They both landed on the mattress as their lips met.
Mia was utterly dumbfounded. She widened her eyes as she stared at him..
Looking right back at her, Timothy got up. He quickly turned around and left for his study on the second floor.
Mia slowly rose from the mattress.
With her face flushed, she wiped her lips and said to Holly, “Just change the mattress. You don’t have to do anything with the rest.”

She didn’t even dare to meet Holly’s eyes. After she said so, she dashed out of the mansion.
Her heart was still racing when she got in the cab. She opened the window to get some fresh air and even took out some wet tissues to wipe her lips.
That was so embarrassing.
At the marital house, Timothy also took some time to calm down in his study. Only then did he go downstairs.
He realized that the chaos had ceased.
The renovation of the hall was completed, and it looked so much better than before.
However, he frowned when he saw the wooden frame on the wall.
“What’s this?”
Holly replied diligently. “Mrs. Barrett said this is for you to put the wedding photo. It’ll pop.”
A hint of confusion flickered in Timothy’s eyes. He noticed a crib in the hall as well.
“What’s this again?”
Mia was truly skilled at surprising him.
“Mrs. Barrett said this crib was a free gift. It’ll come in handy in the future.”
“She’s very good at planning, isn’t she?”
Timothy’s fingers grazed past his lips. He was reminded of how her lips felt, which was quite different.
Just then, Heath appeared and said, “Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Barrett did purchase a new house. But it’s under her
name.”
Timothy glanced over at the property purchase agreement on the iPad. He knew Mia was playing push and pull.
She deliberately spread the news about her buying a marital house, and she gave him a crib in secret. Moreover, she hinted to him to hang the wedding photo in the hall.
After a brief moment of thought. Timothy ordered, “Put the wedding photo in my bedroom here and put the crib in the guest room on the second floor.”
