Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 496

Timothy was frustrated. "Grandma, why must it be a marriage of love? Marriage is just troublesome to me."

"Congratulations then, you'll become single again today. You're free from the trouble," Laura retorted.

He was rendered speechless. He just stood there, failing to find the words to continue the topic.

Laura spoke again, "You should get going. The courthouse is going to close soon."

With pursed lips, he finally exited the room.

Laura watched his back and sighed faintly. At the end of the day, she failed to make Mia stay.

Martha sneaked into the room. "Mrs. Barrett Senior, why didn't you persuade Mrs. Barrett? She respects you. As long as you disagree with the divorce, she'll never divorce Mr. Barrett."

"Do you think I don't know that? But I can't force them. Nothing good will come from forcing a couple to be together."

"But I don't think he's entirely indifferent toward her. They just need time."

Laura smiled. "That's why I didn't go along as he wished. He needs a trigger. If he doesn't appreciate her and doesn't win her back, she'll leave him. Humans are born this way. We'll never know how precious something is until we lose them."

Martha gave it a thought, thinking that it made sense. "What if they really divorce?"

"They can remarry then. It's not uncommon nowadays." Laura looked on the bright side.

She contacted the lawyer to prepare a property settlement agreement as soon as possible.

There was a need to add fuel to the fire.

Meanwhile, Mia and Timothy left the hospital together.

Her eyes were fixated outside the window. Her emotions were surprisingly calm at the moment.

The one hour drive was quiet until the car stopped outside the courthouse.

"You're not at college? Where are you?"

"I'm at the courthouse with Timothy. We're going to proceed with the divorce procedures."

Connor's mood brightened. "Okay. I'll see you there."

The call ended and she looked at Timothy. "Let's go."

Undecipherable feelings stirred in his heart. "Who was that? Connor?"

"Yes, he's going to pick me up later," she answered truthfully.

When she met his eyes, she noticed that his expression was off.

What was it that he wanted to say before she answered the call?
