“For me?” he reconfirmed, flabbergasted.
“Yes! Mr. Bodyguard told me that my smartwatch was fine. Mom would definitely find me, so I wanted to give you a gift.” She took out the smartwatch. “It’s a match with mine!”
Timothy grinned at the pink smartwatch, not expecting her to jump through hoops to get a gift for him.
The corner of Mia’s lips twitched the moment she saw the pink gadget. “Ginger, don’t you think that pink is unsuitable for him?”
“But this is the only color.” Ginger pouted.
“It’s fine.” He took it. “Thank you for the gift.”
Ginger’s eyes lit up. “Do you want me to wear it for you?”
This time, he was taken aback as he didn’t expect her to be this smooth. But he didn’t reject the offer.
Soon, there was a pink smartwatch around his wrist.
Things were getting confusing for Mia. His outfit alone was enough to tell that he was either a rich or a powerful man.
The pink smartwatch didn’t match his expensive suit at all, but he didn’t turn down Ginger’s unreasonable request.
Mia had mixed feelings.
All these years, there were men who tried to approach Mia by earning Ginger’s favor but none of the attempts succeeded.
It was rare to see Ginger to be this close to an unknown man.
Timothy stood up. In a low voice, he said, “Let’s go.”
Mia held Ginger’s hand. “You’ll get it from me once we get home.”
Ginger shrunk her neck, feeling guilty. Then, she sneakily slid her hand into Timothy’s. She walked between the adults. Her steps were light like that of a happy bunny.
Caleb, who had been waiting outside the amusement park, watched them approaching.
The three of them looked like a family.
That was why he didn’t go up to them when he found them. He was sensible enough to not be the third-
wheeler.
When the trio reached the entrance, Mia saw Caleb. He was there, but the lazy bum didn’t enter to look for the kid.
Furious, she stepped forward and kicked him. “Do you think being a father is this easy?”
Ginger snorted in disapproval as well. She obviously shared the same notion as her mother.
Hugging his foot, Caleb responded, “Miss, have we even met before?”
He couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.
Caleb wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. He couldn’t keep getting accused as a bastard, could he? He was innocent!
Mia sneered, “No, and we’ll never meet again in the future. Ginger, Let’s go.”
“Okay, Mommy.”
Before Ginger walked away, she stomped on Caleb’s foot with all her might.
His eyes widened. “Even you-“
She snorted, “I don’t need you anymore, jerk!”
The repercussions ahead for angering her were severe. Now, she had made up her mind to have a better father instead.
As an afterthought, she cast a backward look at Timothy. “Bye¨Cbye, uncle!”
Timothy smiled and hummed in response.
He watched them leave. If Mia hadn’t met an accident four years ago, would her child also be of this age?
To think that Ginger was four years old too. What a coincidence!
A wild guess fleeted across his head. He chased after them with huge strides. “Wait up!”
Ginger turned her head with eyes blinking of curiosity.
Mia didn’t have a good impression of him, but he did help her look for Ginger after all so she managed her expression. “Anything I can help you with?”
Timothy gazed at her. “What is your name?”
She arched her brow.
Assuming that he wanted to know more about her, she brushed her hair to her back. “The name’s Little
Fairy. Bye!”
Then, she left while holding hands with Ginger.
The latter sneaked a peek across her shoulder to wave at him. She didn’t lie about her mother’s name.

Ginger snorted in disapproval as well. She obviously shared the same notion as her mother.
Hugging his foot, Caleb responded, “Miss, have we even met before?”
He couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.
Caleb answered, “We found her and her mother took her back.”
On top of that, both Monalize and Ginger had stomped his foot! He felt so wronged!
Luna gingerly caught a glimpse of Timothy’s expression before looking at Caleb. “Did the kid say anything?”
“Are you afraid that she might say something?” Timothy interrogated.
“You’re misunderstanding me, Tim. We all know what they look like. I just want to confirm if that woman is truly Mia Bowen. That’s why I asked.” Her face was pallid.
She feared that Ginger might expose her, which would cause a misunderstanding between her and the men.
She could offer an explanation only after she figured out what happened.
Timothy replied indifferently, “Stay out of this.”
“I’d like to do something as one of the Barretts. I want to find Mia as soon as possible and get to the bottom of Mrs. Barrett Senior’s incident.”
“Leave!” He suddenly lost his temper, his eyes were steely.
That took her aback, as she didn’t expect the sheer mention of the incident would anger him.
Timothy had been acting out of character ever since he met the woman who resembled Mia.
Four years had passed and yet he couldn’t forget about her.
Caleb stood up to alleviate the mood. “It’s getting late, Luna. You should get back and rest up.”
Upset, she bit her lip but still she left the room nevertheless.
