In the past, Andre used to drink to drown his sorrows, but now he could only drink coffee to calm his irritability. "If I had held her a little tighter, Molly wouldn't have gone missing, and mom wouldn't have died. My family wouldn't have fallen apart."
Andre had been kicking himself for fifteen years over this. He lost his sister over his nephew, and his mother passed away out of anger.
Seeing his father in a funk, he felt like he couldn't face him, and he moved out from the Cedillo Mansion as early as possible.
Bruce already had his own family. He didn't want to be a burden to him.
Just like that, since the age of 13, he had been living alone in the desolate Maplewood Estates.
Conner knew that the pain in Andre's heart couldn't be washed away with just a few words. Nobody could fathom the pain he was feeling.
Andre's friends all had a thought in their hearts, but nobody dared to voice it out to him.
One time, Asher asked, "Could Molly have died? Maybe your dad didn't want to upset you, so he didn't tell you. Otherwise, why wouldn't he continue looking for her?"
Upon hearing this, Andre and Asher had a brawl.
After that, nobody dared to tell Andre that Molly might be dead.
However, all four of his friends believed that Molly was probably dead.
Only Andre was still holding on.
Conner sighed in his heart. He continued to have coffee with Andre.
They drank so much coffee during the day that they couldn't sleep at night.
Andre didn't mind the sleeplessness, as he could chat with his Kittemia.
Conner, on the other hand, couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, thinking, "Did Andre play me?"
But he was the one who drank the coffee, not Andre forcing him. He could only continue to be sleepless.
In the bedroom of Cedillo Mansion, Mia was having a video chat with Andre while applying a face mask, "Honey, Leo teased me, saying that I would give you my dark circles as a surprise when you come back. I punched him."
Andre laughed and said, "Good punch."
Mia laughed, and the face mask became deformed.
She looked more like a kitten.
She complained, "Honey, don't talk! Just look at me. Otherwise, I'll laugh when I see you, and then my face mask will deform."
Mr. Cedillo watched his adorable wife take care of her skin.
"What are those two sticks?"
"Beauty sticks."
Andre asked, "Aren't you too young to start taking care of your skin?"
Mia shook her head, "Definitely not. I have to start early. If I don't take care of my skin now, it'll be too late when I have wrinkles. Then my husband's eyes will be on other girls, and I will be left out."
Andre was speechless.
Video chatting with his adorable wife was the only happy thing in Andre's day.
He met with those girls every day, looking at their arms. His once hopeful heart was becoming more and more desperate.
Only when he saw Mia full of energy at night could he get some comfort.
Even if he didn't speak, just watching her applying her face mask, Andre couldn't bear to look away.
At midnight, Mia said she was going to sleep, and they ended the call.
The next day, Mia got up early.
After washing up in the bathroom, she went straight to Naomi's room.
She knocked on the door and asked, "Naomi, are you awake?"
Naomi replied, "Come in."
Naomi got out of bed. Bruce asked, "What's the matter?" He was also planning to get up and see what was going on.
Naomi replied, "You don't need to go. Andre is coming back today. Mia probably wants me to help her pick out clothes."
Walking out of the room, she saw Mia, and sure enough, that was it.
