Meet My Protective Brothers Chapter 308

Frowning, Felix replied, "Mr. Barrett left with Mia, who seemed to be intoxicated. Mom, why would you purposely mix up her drinks?"

"Felix, look at the bigger picture. If you drink on Mia's behalf and end up intoxicated, it could create an opportunity for her to take care of you.

"Now, imagine this scenario. Mia happens to consume a bit too much herself, and you, in an act of chivalry, escort her home to safeguard her well-being.

"Wouldn't that potentially spark some emotions between you two? What if, after a few drinks, it blossoms into a relationship? It's a win-win situation," she explained.

Janice saw this as a golden opportunity for Felix, believing he might be a bit too naive about the situation.

After looking at things from Janice's perspective, Felix sighed, saying, "Mom, I've repeatedly told you not to interfere in this.

"Mr. Barrett wasn't pleased with Mia getting drunk, and I'm sure I left a negative impression on him."

Felix had initially viewed today's lunch with Timothy as a valuable opportunity to make a positive impression, hoping it could contribute to his future pursuit of Mia.

However, all his aspirations were thwarted by Janice's meddling.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Janice spoke urgently, "Felix, what should we do? Perhaps I could have a conversation with Mr. Barrett to clarify the situation.

"I'm willing to take full responsibility and assert that the mistake was mine. Given his wealth and influence, it's likely he won't make a fuss with a middle-aged woman like me."

"It's hard to say. Let's wait until Mia wakes up tomorrow, and I'll explain everything to her. Don't worry, Mia isn't the type to hold grudges. As long as she's fine with it, there shouldn't be any major issues."

"That certainly eases my concerns. I'm confident you'll succeed in winning Mia over. After all, you possess such outstanding qualities that any woman would find difficult to resist."

Felix smiled confidently, considering himself adept at charming women. He believed it was only a matter of time before he captured Mia's heart.

"By the way, Felix, could you tell me more about Mr. Barrett? He appears to be quite wealthy. What's his background?"

"Mom, Mr. Barrett is the proprietor of a publicly traded company, and his family is quite affluent. Why do you ask?"

Felix decided to keep Timothy's identity as the heir of the affluent Barrett family under wraps. He wanted to avoid any additional complications from Janice that might inadvertently derail his plans.

Moreover, given Timothy's high status and position, it seemed likely that he wouldn't appreciate his identity being widely publicized.

"Felix, your cousin Nelly has just returned from studying abroad and is currently single. Introducing her to Mr. Barrett could enhance our family's reputation, don't you think?"

"Mom, let's talk about this later. Mr. Barrett might not be interested," Felix replied cautiously.

"But Nelly has studied abroad and has experienced different cultures. How can she not be a suitable match?" Janice insisted.

Felix found himself speechless. After all, Timothy had once been engaged to Maya from the esteemed Lane family in Nord City, and even that engagement had been called off.

It seemed impossible that someone like Nelly could be deemed a suitable match for Timothy!

Felix retrieved his phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Mia: "Mia, I sincerely apologize. My aging mother made a mistake and served you hard liquor instead, causing you to get drunk."

Felix believed it was crucial to explain to Mia beforehand, ensuring that his apology the next day wouldn't appear insincere.

Simultaneously, Mia's phone chimed, but she refrained from checking it.

She was currently portraying the role of a drunk woman, and checking her phone wouldn't align with the act.

However, she grappled with the dilemma of whether to answer if it happened to be a call from her family. If Connor was to find her in this state, she would unquestionably find herself in trouble.

Mia leaned against the backseat of the car, feeling a bit dizzy despite being conscious.

Fortunately, she had successfully purged the whiskey in the restaurant's restroom earlier. Otherwise, she would be far more intoxicated now.

Slumped in the chair, Mia felt somewhat disoriented, her mind in a disarray as she wondered where Timothy was taking her.

He probably wasn't aware of her current residence.

Despite this, Mia couldn't shake off a sense of unease.

Seated beside Mia, Timothy observed her intoxicated condition. He rubbed his temples, appearing unsure about how to handle the situation.
