Chapter 282
Only then did Connor wrap his head around the situation–the woman who tied the knot with the
unconscious Timothy back then was Mia, his sister!
The sheer thought of it sent a wave of emotions through Connor. He was angry and remorseful.
Maya wished to get married to Timothy but was stopped by Dominic. In the end, she shrugged off the
idea probably because she assumed that Timothy would die.
Then, the Barretts announced that someone was willing to get married to Timothy.
Connor regretted it now. Things would’ve been better if they found Mia three years ago.
Mia’s guilt pricked her conscience. “I know that I was wrong. We weren’t close in the beginning. so I
didn’t know how to bring it up. Plus, we were considering a divorce at that time, thinking that it was best
to end things sooner.
On top of that, the Barretts were a prestigious family in Bern City.
Mia didn’t want to cause her brothers trouble, hence the decision to keep them in the dark.

A deep sigh escaped Connor’s lips. He patted her head. “Don’t apologize. We should be the ones
apologizing. If we had found you sooner, things would’ve been different. You didn’t need to suffer so
much either.”
What had been done was done. He couldn’t bring himself to blame Mia.
No wonder Timothy took action as soon as he caught wind of her kidnap.
After a discussion, Connor and Dominic decided to keep a close eye on Timothy, who had feelings for
Mia.
Who would’ve known that Mia and Timothy had been married for three years? With a child at that.
Lowering his gaze, Connor looked at her. “Mia, did the Barretts let you go fully knowing that you’re
pregnant?”
She shook her head. “Actually, they don’t know I’m pregnant. Mrs. Barrett Senior would only
compromise and go ahead with the surgery on the condition that I got pregnant. I planned to admit that
I’m pregnant for her sake, but the Barrett family didn’t believe me. They thought I was lying, so I went
along with it.”

Now, Connor knew the whole story.
A crease formed between his brows. “How despicable of them! Mia, were you forced to get
married to Timothy?”
“No. I did it on my own will. Because I liked him.”
Hearing that, he put his head in his hands. Everything he heard today was difficult for him to take

She managed a forced smile. “I’ve decided to get over him. But I have to keep the act up until Mrs.
Barrett Senior’s surgery is over. She treats me well, that’s why.”
If that’s the

“Mia, are you sure you can get over him? case, I suggest you don’t keep the baby.”
She stroked her belly. “I want to keep the baby, Connor. The baby’s the only family I had before you
guys found me. I made up my mind to get over him back then. I can’t simply give up on the baby just
because I found my family.”
It was heart wrenching to hear that, especially what Mia said about the baby being her only family.
His heart broke into a million pieces.
He reached out to hug her, his eyes red. “Okay. Keep the baby.”
No matter what kind of favor Mia asked for, he felt that he could agree to all of them.
After all, they owed her too much. There was no way they could make up for it no matter what
they did.
Mia settled in Connor’s arms and wiped her tears off discreetly.
It was fortunate that he could understand her decision.
At that moment, a piercing gaze caught on her radar, making her skin crawl.
