Chapter 81
Mia took her phone and glanced at it.
It was indeed a text from Connor that said, “Mia, I’ve got something urgent to attend to at work. You guys can go ahead and eat first.”
It turned out that he couldn’t make it.
Connor was probably busy with his work at the hospital. After all, he was a doctor, and saving lives was definitely more important than their meeting.

She glanced over at Liam and said, “Let’s eat.”
Liam saw Connor complaining in the group chat that he came across an accident, so he had to go and do his job. Well, it was better for him not to show up so Liam could have Mia all to himself.
After a while, the food came.
Maya smiled and said, “Let’s eat as well.”
However, Liam was too quick on his feet.
He took the largest prawn in the dish and gave it to Mia.
“Mia, you should try this. It’s refreshing.
Mia, try this. The first piece tastes the best.
Mia, are you thirsty? I’ll go get some drinks for you.”
Soon, the plate before Mia was piled with food.
She secretly tugged on his arm as she said, “Enough. You should have some as well.”
Only then did Liam finally set down his utensils.
“I’m not that hungry. You should eat more. Look at how much weight you’ve lost
Mia, who knew she had obviously gained weight, was at a loss for words. Was he blind?
In a fit of rage, Timothy slammed his fork on the table. He completely lost his appetite.
Maya quickly said, “Tim, you should try this!”
She also took some food and placed them on his plate.
Timothy glanced down at the food on his plate. Without skipping a beat, he got up.
“I’m busy. I’ll get going first.”
He just couldn’t take in any food.
As he strode off briskly, Maya felt slightly upset when she saw the untouched food on his plate. She almost
In a hurry, she dashed after him as she called out, “Tim, wait for me.”
Once the door was closed, Mia and Liam were the only ones left.
She finally heaved a sigh of relief. The tension was making it hard for her to swallow her food.
Liam put down his utensils and asked, “Mia, why did you sit with them?”
When he saw Maya and Timothy, he thought he had gone to the wrong room.
Flustered, Mia tried to explain, “Didn’t I used to work as Grandma Laura’s caretaker? I met Timothy a couple of times, and he was grateful for me taking good care of her. So he suggested we have dinner together.”
Furrowing his brows, Liam replied, “Ignore the Barretts from now on. You’re one of the Lanes, not their maids. Let the past be in the past. Things are different now.”
“I know, Liam.”
As Mia indulged in her cake, she gazed at Timothy’s seat. Eventually, she lowered her gaze.
Only after they arrived home at night did Connor return.
“I’m so damn tired. I’m so hungry!”
“Connor, we got some food for you. You can eat it after you heat it in the microwave.”
“Aw, Mia! How kind is that?”
Connor devoured the food in the takeout container. He didn’t mind that this was takeaway food.
As Liam stood beside him, he said, “Mia, I’ve contacted the moving company. They’ll come over tomorrow morning. Make sure to pack your valuables by tonight.”
“Alright, got it.”
Mia had started packing. In fact, there wasn’t much that they could bring with them. After all, the furnishing for the new house was excellent. The home was almost fully furnished.
Thus, she could just move in right away with Patricia.
The next morning, the moving company arrived on time.
Mia told Patricia to leave for the new house first while she would be supervising the moving process.
Actually, it was because Patricia was reluctant to throw stuff away. Thus, Mia was planning to get rid of some
items once she left.
