Chapter 313
Chapter 313
Chad was thinking about Andre and his naughty wife Mia. Still, with Mia being pregnant, Andre should
be able to relax for a few months.
Men loved to talk about business over dinner. Mr. Kendrick said, "Chad, keep your guard up and watch
your back."
Coleen immediately shot Mr. Kendrick a worried look, "What happened to Chad?"
Mr. Kendrick explained, "A few days ago, the higher-ups sent someone to re-investigate Officer Rubin's
case. He's Mr. Marlow's student after all, and he snitched on Chad behind his back. Bruce and I
intercepted him right away. Bruce used his position to vouch for Chad's innocence."
Mr. Kendrick and Chad were father and son, so they should avoid suspicion. But Bruce and Chad had
no connection, and outsiders didn't know about their relationship, so Bruce managed to intercept the
situation.
They only investigated Officer Rubin, without touching Chad's position.
Chad had heard about this. He said, "In our line of work, it's inevitable to step on some toes. I'll
personally go to the Cedillo family in a few days to thank Bruce for his help."
"Don't. With everyone watching you like a hawk, if you go and get spotted, you'll definitely be
investigated." Mr. Kendrick said.
Chad listened to Mr. Kendrick's advice, "Then I'll just send him a text to thank him."
"Hmm, that way, even if someone comes to investigate, there won't be any issues." Mr. Kendrick
agreed.
At the dinner table, Mr. Kendrick shared some work wisdom with Chad, hoping it would be of help.
Chad also told his parents about what had happened to Molly and the Cedillo family fifteen years ago.
After hearing this, Mr. Kendrick frowned, "So, Mr. Marlow could be a suspect in the case from fifteen
years ago."
"He has no motive." Chad said.
.....
The world of adults was complex and tedious. On the other side, the world of students was simple and
fun.
Mia, Molly, and Leo always sat in the first row at school. Not because they loved to study, but because
the back row required steps.
Molly, who had watched various TV shows and movies, fantasized, "Mia, what if a girl in our class likes
Andre, then finds out you're pregnant, and she secretly pours water on the steps to make you slip and
endanger the baby?"
Mia was speechless, thinking Molly's imagination was way too vivid.
Leo poured a cup of water on the steps, and Mia stepped on it, even rubbing her foot a couple of times.
"The experiment proves, water isn't slippery." Mia said.
Molly asked, "What about oil?"
Leo retorted, "Who brings oil to class?"
Molly pondered, "No, it's safer to sit in the front row."
Eventually, the three of them sat in the corner of the first row.
Not many people knew Mia was pregnant, as she hadn't started showing yet. The Cedillo family also
didn't make a big deal out of it, keeping everything low-key.
Mia found it challenging with so many classes,. Luckily, being pregnant allowed her to fall asleep
quickly.
When she returned to her apartment at noon, she had a few bites before falling asleep. By the time she
woke up, the maid had already prepared fresh food for her.
Andre deliberately cut down on his social obligations. He told Alice and Noah, "Mia's pregnant. If I
come home drunk, I won't be able to keep her company."
Alice happily said, "Congratulations."
Noah also excitedly said, "Andre, you're finally going to be a dad. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Andre accepted their well-wishes and added, "Unless absolutely necessary, don't
schedule anything for me after 8 pm. Mia has a lot of classes, and I need to pick her up several times a
week. I can't let her feel neglected just because she's pregnant."
Alice looked at Andre and said, "Andre, you've finally learned how to be a good husband."
Not long after Andre and Mia got married, he frequently pissed off Mia, often seeking advice from Alice
on how to soothe her. Now, Andre no longer needed anyone else's advice. He could be a good
husband.
Noah cheekily asked Alice, "Alice, is your husband like this at home too?"
Alice thought about her own husband, "Him? When I was pregnant, he really wanted a daughter. But
now, he wishes he could turn our daughter into a son."
Andre curiously asked, "Why is that?"
"My daughter's school often asks us parents to help with homework, so I passed that task to my
husband. But he gets so frustrated when helping with her homework that he says it might shorten his
life by ten years. And since our child is a girl, he can't bear to get angry at her." Alice said.
Everyone in the office laughed at Alice's husband.
When Andre went to pick up Mia, he told her about this funny story. Mia quickly said, "Let's make a
deal. I'm only responsible for giving birth." She didn't want to live unhappily because of homework.
Andre was driving with one hand, the other hand holding Mia's. He lovingly said, "Sure, I'll take care of
educating the child. You just need to be happy being you."
Mia was very happy. Although she knew she would definitely help Andre raise their child in the future,
she felt incredibly happy when Andre said he didn't want her to worry.
At night, Andre's hand was on Mia's belly, guessing when the baby was conceived.
Mia said, "Stop guessing. We're together almost every day, so we won't know when the baby was
conceived."
Some of Andre's friends suddenly found out about Mia's pregnancy.
"Is it Andre's baby?" Conner asked. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Andre replied, "Of course!"
The one who broke the news was the gossip king of Havenbrook, Mars!
Mars had asked Andre out yesterday to discuss some business and planned to get him drunk. But
Andre said, "Let's just talk business. I have to pick up Mia later. She's pregnant, and I promised her I
would pick her up today."
When Mars heard the news, he blabbed to all his buddies, now everyone knew that Andre was about to
be a dad.
Andre, the eternal bachelor, tying the knot was already a shocker. And now, Mia was pregnant. Ever
since Mia married Andre, he had been on a lucky streak. He found love and his sister. He had a family
reunion, and now he and Mia were about to have their own kid.
Asher asked, "Andre, did Mia marry you just to bring some good luck to your family?"
"There might be some truth to that." Andre said with a grin.
Everyone wanted to take a trip to Havenbrook to see Andre's pregnant wife, but Andre was keeping her
under wraps.
"She's only three months along, so there's nothing to see. If you all come over, it might disturb Mia and
the baby." Andre said.
"Andre, you're not starting to believe in all that superstitious stuff, are you?" Connor asked.
Andre said, "Wait till you guys have kids, then you'll get it."
And there went Andre, already bragging about being a dad.
In early pregnancy, Mia turned into a total sleepaholic. Sometimes, waking her up in the morning was
like pulling teeth. Just thinking about a day of classes made her regret doing it so.
Even though she'd grumble a bit now and then, she'd still get up.
