Chapter 16

The young woman was Shelly Barrett, Timothy’s cousin.

Mia simply ignored Shelly’s sarcastic remarks. Throughout the years, Shelly viewed Mia in contempt. Her comments would always suggest that Mia was only willing to marry a half-dead Timothy for money.

In the past, Mia kept putting up with Shelly’s ridicule. But now that she had signed the divorce papers, she no longer needed to do so.

Shelly strutted haughtily over to Mia and snapped, “Why are you just standing there? Hurry over to the kitchen and start cooking. Remember to make my favorite seafood stew.”

Mia withdrew her gaze and replied, “Grandma Laura invited me over to have dinner. She didn’t ask me to come here as a maid to cook for other people.”

“What do you mean by that, Mia? You’ve got the nerve, don’t you? You’re even refusing to cook! I’m going to tell Aunt Sharon about this!”

Mia ignored Shelly and walked into the house. When she entered the living room, she saw two people sitting on the couch.

One was her ex-mother-in-law, Sharon, while the other was her ex-husband’s first love, Maya.

She didn’t expect to see Maya at dinner today.

Shelly rushed into the living room. She purposely bumped into Mia before reporting loudly, “Aunt Sharon, I told Mia to head to the kitchen and cook for us, but she refused! She even said that Grandma invited her over as a
