Chapter 749
Mia felt her patience wearing thin from having to deal with these insufferable old ladies. She turned to them with a smirk.
“If you’re such a fan of kids, why not expand your own brood? Perhaps you could even start your own soccer team with the little ones. I bet the excitement would be unparalleled.”
“Tim, look at how she speaks to her elders!” Veronica chastised.
Timothy calmly responded, “I think what she said made a lot of sense.”
Veronica’s expression turned sour. She snorted. “Having your own child is definitely better than raising someone else’s.”
Mia reached for a glass. She could barely hold it in now.
However, Timothy drawled, “I remember Uncle William adopted a kid recently, right? You seem to take good care of him, though.”
Mia’s face immediately lit up. She was eager for gossip.
Veronica stirred uneasily in her seat. “Tim, what are you on about?”
Sharon also shot a look at him. “Yeah, Tim. Where did you hear such rumors? You shouldn’t spread false information.”
Mia clicked her tongue loudly, and Veronica was outraged.
Sensing the growing tension in the air, one of the socialites changed the subject. This private resort is spectacular. We’d like to host an event here in the future. I heard it’s membership–based, so you need to be recommended by existing members. Mrs. Barrett, could you do us a favor?”
“Yeah, Mrs. Barrett. You’re the only existing member among us.”
Pleased with their flattery, Sharon smiled. “No problem. I’ll make sure to recommend all of you.”
“I’m thinking of hosting my son’s wedding here. The view’s amazing, and the service is great as well. On top of that, privacy is guaranteed. I wonder if they host
weddings here?”
Mia immediately answered, “They do. The chief designer of the resort will craft a bespoke design plan to create a one–of–a–kind wedding ambiance.”
As she spoke, everyone’s attention was on her.
Mia’s expression faltered. Caught in the excitement of a potential business inquiry, she couldn’t help but blurt out the necessary information.
The socialite chuckled. “That sounds perfect! Ms. Monalize, I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with the resort. Are you thinking of having your wedding here?”
Luna’s and Sharon’s expressions stiffened. Both of them glanced at Timothy, anxiety evident in their eyes.
Timothy turned toward Mia. “You like the environment here?”
“Of course. I mean, just look at the greenery and the clever design of the garden. It’s ideal for birthday parties, proposals, engagements, or wedding banquets. I don’t think any woman could resist such a breathtaking custom venue, right?” Mia rambled on, introducing the key features of Aide Castle.
However, she felt like he was

The socialite chimed in, “Mr. Barrett, did you get Ms. Monalize’s hint?”
Shelly exclaimed, “Tim, you have to book the entire place if you’re going to have your wedding here.”
Everyone began clamoring, and Luna immediately lost her appetite in a fit of
rage.
Mia’s expression froze. Marriage? It would be madness for her to tie the knot with Timothy again!
She rose languorously. “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.‘
Now that she was sated, she had no intention to linger around any longer. Taking
a stroll at the resort the owend would be a better bins.
