Upon hearing Eva's words, Timothy froze in place, his eyes momentarily betraying his bewilderment.

Love?

The notion had never crossed his mind before.

“Timothy, your silence speaks volumes. It's clear that Mia doesn't hold a special place in your heart. So why do you keep entangling yourself with her?"

Tiny droplets of sweat began to form on Timothy's forehead as he faced Eva's probing questions, unsure of how to respond.
