After Leo sat down, the three popped open a bottle of drink each. They sipped on soda and continued to munch on sour candy.
Leo asked Hansen, "Gramps, are we treating you alright?"
"You guys treat me too well, way better than Andre. He only likes to criticize me and wouldn’t let me do anything. Think about it, isn’t he busy enough managing a company? How does he still have time to control us over ice cream? It really pisses me off."
After Hansen finished talking, he grabbed another bag of sour candy to eat.
Leo also grabbed a bag, "He surely didn't expect that although he stopped you guys from eating ice cream, he couldn’t stop you from eating sour candies. I think Mia is really Andre's match. She’s so stubborn, I’m sure she’ll give Andre a hard time in the future."
Andre kept quiet. He was using a pillar to hide himself, listening carefully to the accusations being made about him in the room.
With his hands in his pockets, he stood behind the pillar for five minutes before deciding to show himself.
At that moment, his wife spoke again, "Before he comes back, we need to quickly clean up the garbage on the table to not get caught. Otherwise, we won't have good stuff to eat tomorrow."
While eating, Leo said, "Mia, aren’t you very tough? Why are you so timid in front of him? You should bring out your previous momentum, have a big fight with him, make him bow in front of you."
Andre chuckled. Seemed like Leo was asking for trouble.
Mia: "I dare not. If I beat him, he might despise me for not being gentle and then cheat on me with other women. If he beats me, then I might be at risk of domestic violence in the future."
Andre remained silent as he kept to eavesdrop..
Hansen also joined in the discussion, "Mia, don’t worry. I guarantee you that Andre will never cheat. If he cheated, he wouldn’t have remained single until 28, even having his marriage arranged by his father. As for domestic violence, I don’t think he will, either."
"Why is that?" Unconsciously, Mia opened another bag of sour candy, and shared it with everyone.
Hansen said, "He treats you like a pet. How would he beat his most beloved pet?"
"He treats me like a pet, and even you know about it?" asked Mia.
Hansen nodded, "Of course. I love to chat with the housekeeper when I’m at home, so I know about everything at home and at the company. I also heard that Andre, because of one sentence from you, decided to collaborate with the despised Richard Co."
"That’s because he let me do whatever I wanted," said Mia.
"Why doesn’t he let us do whatever we want, but only lets you? Isn’t it because he spoils you?" Hansen asked a question that made everyone start to ponder.
The sour candy in Mia’s mouth didn't taste good anymore. She started pondering Hansen's words.
Could it be?
"Mr. Andre, what are you doing, standing here?"
The question from the servant made the three people in the living room who were secretly eating snacks freeze as if they had been petrified.
It was as if their hearts had suddenly stopped beating.
All three of them looked in the same direction.
Then Andre slowly walked out from behind the pillar, coming into everyone's field of vision.
None of them said a word.
Andre seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of threat.
"You guys are eating pretty well," he said.
The three were stunned.
Then, they said in unison, "This is what Mia bought."
"Honey, I didn't buy this."
"Andre, I only ate one."
After saying that, the three of them exchanged glances.
They could sneak snacks together, but they couldn't share responsibility.
Andre sat on the sofa. He picked up the sour candy wrapper from the ground, "Who started this?"
Without hesitation, Leo and Hansen pointed at the girl next to them.
Mia looked at the two of them. She opened her mouth, showing her teeth, as if she wanted to bite them.
Andre stood up from the sofa, "Come to the study with me."
Mia said to Leo, "Go on, he's calling you."
