Chapter 1117
Ginger truly was obedient. She did as Sage said, relaying the information to Timothy.
But she still felt somewhat uneasy. Adult matters were indeed complicated. Being a child like her was much simpler.
Timothy received a voice message from Ginger, and he felt like his heart was about to melt when he heard her adorable voice.
Hearing that she had just finished her meal, he felt reassured. Just as he pondered how to find out who else was at the dinner, he received another voice message from her. The smile on Timothy's face vanished instantly after listening to the message. His expression darkened.
Mia was actually going to be engaged to Nicholas?
This couldn't be. He had never heard any news about it before.
Timothy swallowed hard. Nonetheless, he called Ginger. He had to confirm this matter with her now.
Hiding behind the sofa, Ginger whispered, "Hello?"
Why did he call at this time? She'd be doomed if her uncles found out. She couldn't afford to be exposed as a traitor.
Timothy felt a bit bitter when he heard her voice. "Is your mommy really going to be engaged with another man?" he asked.
"Yeah. Uncle Nicholas came over for dinner today, and it seemed like they were talking about this. Aunt Eva wanted to set Mommy up with him back then, but Mommy refused."
Hearing that Mia refused, Timothy instantly heaved a sigh of relief. A pang of glee shot through him.
"Did your mommy really refuse?"
"Yeah. Mommy said she wasn't interested in a relationship since Sage hadn't recovered yet."
Timothy's heart skipped a beat.
In the past, Mia was disinterested in relationships because of Sage's health. At this point, it seemed like Sage's recovery and discharge from the hospital were nothing but bad news to him.
Now that Mia no longer had to worry about Sage, would she possibly begin a relationship?
Timothy, who was always so
confident, felt somewhat insecure et
now. He knew that the odds were against him if the Lane family were to compare him with Nicholas.
"Ginger, do you want your mommy to be with Uncle Nicholas or me?" Timothy asked nervously.
His question stumped Ginger.
She hesitated for a long time, and Mia's voice suddenly echoed from behind her.
"Ginger, why are you hiding here?"
Ginger didn't have time to hang up. Fearing that Mia would find out, she immediately squeaked, "I dropped something under the sofa. I'm looking for it."
Mia glanced at her. Sensing nothing
unusual, she looked at the sofa and said, "If it isn't something important, let Grandpa Wade have someone find it for you later."
Ginger nodded.
"Uncle Nicholas," she greeted, glancing up at Nicholas.
Nicholas went up to her and stroked her head. "You've grown quite a bit."
"I'm going to be an adult. Of course I'm going to grow taller."
"I bought you a present. Open it and have a look."
"Thank you, Uncle Nicholas."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Delighted, Ginger took the gift and unwrapped it instantly.
Mia sighed. "The kids already have a lot of presents. You don't have to spend money on their gifts."
"These two kids are like my own. What's wrong with buying them gifts?"
