Cooper asked her, "Do you want to video chat?"
Mia glanced at her surroundings and wanted to decline, saying, "I'm outside, it's not convenient."
"You should be at home. It's already ten o'clock at night in Eldoria, and the weather is cold. A bear like you shouldn't be going out."
Seeing that Mia didn't respond, Cooper asked again, "Are you dating someone now?"
"No."
After Mia said those words, her heart started racing. As she was about to type in the chat box, "I'm married," Cooper's message came through, "That's good. If you have a boyfriend, I'll come back immediately."
Mia immediately deleted the sentence she had typed. She held her phone against her chest with both hands.
After a while without responding to her brother's words, Cooper's message came again, "Sis, is everything okay at home? Why do I feel like Mom, Dad, and you are all acting strange?"
Mia looked at the chat dialogue and indeed, it was weird. She was married, and she hadn't told him. Was that normal or not?
Mia's initial plan was to move out with Andre after getting married, allowing him to live his own independent life while she returned to her previous single life. Living in her parents' house, having no interference with Andre, and they would be a couple in name only.
However, fantasies were controllable, while reality was unpredictable.
When she got married, she never expected to fall in love with Andre, and herself, an outsider, became a part of the Cedillo family.
If things had gone in the normal order, dating before marriage, she would definitely have informed her brother about her marriage. But her sequence was all mixed up. Marriage, arguments, dating, falling in love... it was like an absurd TV drama.
She didn't tell her brother initially because she was afraid that if he knew about it, he would come back and prevent her from marrying into the Cedillo family, causing unnecessary trouble. As a result, as she kept it a secret, she now didn't know how to explain it.
Cooper was about to enter college abroad, and his grades were excellent. The Irvin family didn't want him to give up his overseas education. At this time, if she told him that she was married, he would definitely come back. If he knew that she was forced into this marriage, he would surely give up his overseas studies and stay in Havenbrook to protect his family.
After a while, Andre came back, and Mia quickly said to her brother, "I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."
After finishing, she placed her phone on the bedside table and curled up under the blanket, watching as the man approached.
Andre walked in, sat on the edge of the bed, and lifted the blanket, looking at Mia's blushing face underneath. "What's wrong? Why is your face abnormally red?"
Mia clutched the blanket tightly, wrapping herself up. "It's too hot in the house."
Andre sat on the bed and uncovered the blanket, getting into bed next to Mia. However, Mia rolled inside the blanket and lay where Andre usually slept.
Andre, on the other hand, lay where she usually slept.
Mia's phone rang on the bedside table. Since Andre and she had just switched positions, he was the most convenient one to grab the phone. Andre casually picked up her phone, and Mia immediately jumped out of the blanket, trying to snatch it back.
It hadn't been long since Andre left, but he had a lingering feeling that his wife was hiding something from him. As Mia tried to snatch the phone, Andre extended his arm, keeping the phone out of her reach. "What are you doing, my dear?"
Andre held his wife's small waist, making her lie on his chest, while his other hand held the phone high, preventing her from grabbing it.
