Having said that, he put down Mia, took her hand, and left the room.
Outside, Hansen and Leo were still waiting.
But she came out safe and sound.
“How'd it go?” asked Hansen.
Mia blinked, “All is well.”
“What did Andre say?” asked Leo.
Mia shook her head, “He didn’t utter a word, nor did he punish me.”
Leo asked again, “What did you say?”
Mia answered, “I told him, I like him.”
Both Leo and Hansen were shocked.
Indeed, pretty people with sweet tongues always had it easy.
Mia returned to the bedroom with her husband. She tentatively asked, “Honey, did you hear what I said
just now?”
The man chuckled, feigning confusion, “What was that again?”
Mia guessed he had heard, “Ah, never mind.”
Andre smirked, “Remember your promise. If you misbehave again, I'll really have to punish you.”
“Oh, I got it.”
With Andre's warning, Mia was very obedient in the days that followed.
Every day after school, she would tell him, “Honey, I was a good girl today, I didn’t snack or go to the
supermarket.”
Andre would laugh and praise her, “Well done.”
Whenever Andre had a social engagement, he would call Mia in advance and say, “Don’t wait up for
dinner tonight. I've got a dinner date.”
“I won’t lock the door then. Drink less and come home early.”
Whenever Andre returned home from his social engagements, Mia in bed would already be asleep, but
there was always a light left on in the bedroom for him.
Before she knew it, Mia had been in school for over a month. She had come to think of the Cedillo
Mansion as her home, and no longer felt the sense of rejection.
After living here for a while, she found that everyone in the Cedillo family was quite lovable.
She used to think that Hansen was serious and old-fashioned, but she later discovered that Hansen
was actually a playful old man. His mentality was like that of a child. She often sat down with him to
play cards, snack, and gossip.
Leo used to be a bully at home, but since Andre and she moved into the Cedillo Mansion, he had
become a well-behaved lamb.
Naomi was simple and straightforward and treated everyone with sincerity. Since the misunderstanding
between her and Mia had been cleared up, Naomi and she had got on better and better. She even
regarded Mia as her own daughter. She often said, “Mia, if you weren’t Andre's wife, I'd want to adopt
you as my daughter.” Upon hearing that, Andre immediately took Mia away.
Bruce Cedillo spoke little. Perhaps that was his personality. But he was very indulgent with everyone at
home.
Sometimes, when Mia angered Andre, she would hide in Naomi's room for protection. Bruce would go
to calm his angry brother.
If Naomi became emotionally upset over something, he would comfort his wife and make her feel
better. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Leo was punished by Andre for doing something wrong, Bruce would tell him, “Serves you right.”
Hansen was stubborn. Whenever he and Andre clashed, Bruce would always mediate.
Of course, Mia's favorite was still her husband.
He would take her to the Majestic Dining Enclave for dinner, accompany her home, give her bags, and
hold her every night.
Every day, as soon as she saw Andre, her mood would improve greatly.
One day, when she was at school, Andre suddenly called her, “I’ll pick you up after school today,
okay?”
“No. I'm the school beauty now, and I'm getting attention. If you show up, our relationship will be
exposed.”
Andre chuckled, “So, you're embarrassed by me?”
“Why put it so bluntly? As long as you understand,” Mia laughed.
Barbara caught sight of her secret phone call with Andre.
Mia was grinning from ear to ear, “I got to go. I’ve got class in a bit. Bye.”
She hung up and continued smiling at her phone screen.
In a while, she called someone else. She excitedly said, “come secretly, don’t let my husband find out,
otherwise I won’t be able to explain it to him.”
“Right, park your car under the third tree outside the west gate, and wait for me there.”
“I just lied to my husband that I have class. He didn't suspect a thing.”
Ever since Barbara found out that Mia married Andre, she had been suppressing herself.
She tried to please Mia against her will, but Mia ignored her.
Then, she tried to seduce Leo. She deliberately acted weak and cried in front of Leo, hoping to evoke
his sympathy and affection.
However, Leo was clueless about the fact that she was trying to seduce him, “Are you sick?” He
scolded Barbara and avoided her ever since.
Jade was more straightforward. She was spoiled and always spoke her mind, so her words were even
more outrageous than Mia's.
“Oh, isn’t this the young miss of the Marshal Group side branch who was kept by a thug, had an
indecent video leaked, paid people to attack my friend, and got exposed?”
Her words revealed the truth that Barbara desperately wanted to hide.
And her voice was loud, clearly intending to embarrass Barbara.
From then on, Barbara gave up the idea of approaching them. She began to observe them constantly,
hoping to find their flaws and completely cover up her past.
Finally, she saw an opportunity.
Mia lied to her husband!
It was after school, but she lied to her husband that she had class later and was secretly going to meet
another man.
Barbara laughed, “Interesting! I wonder what kind of class you're going to have!”
Barbara was not stupid. She would never openly reveal the fact that Mia was married. If her husband
was a useless thug, that would be one thing. However, her husband was a tycoon in Eldoria's business
circle, a person often mentioned in their courses!
If she revealed that Mia was married to Andre, Mia's popularity would surely soar!
She would never do such a stupid thing that would benefit others at her own expense.
The school was crowded. Mia didn't even realize she was being followed.
She returned to the classroom and asked Jade, “Are you sure you're not coming?”
Jade shook her head, “My brother is getting off work early today. I'm going shopping with him for
clothes.”
Leo scoffed at her, "Every time you go shopping with Chad Byrne, you end up buying skirts for
yourself."
"Hmph, he doesn't mind me spending his money, who are you to judge?"
Mia turned to Leo again, "Are you coming or not? Hansen is waiting for us under the third tree at the
west gate."
Leo shook his head, "Nah, I'm not going. No matter what, it's always me picking up the tab. I may as
well just go home."
Mia said, "This time I'm paying."
"I don't buy that."
"Seriously! Andre said he'll reimburse me for whatever I spend."
