Cooper didn’t find out about his sister and brother-in-law’s marital strife until the next day. He noticed Mia’s downcast mood during a video call. Being intuitive, he immediately sensed something was amiss. After hanging up, he got the scoop from their parents.
“You’re saying my sister was online looking up info about my brother-in-law’s mistress?” Cooper was incredulous. Ignoring his mother’s advice, he dialed Andre’s number.
Andre was slightly taken aback when he received a call from his brother-in-law, but he quickly connected the dots, suspecting it had to do with the tension between him and Mia. He answered the call with a hint of apprehension.
Right off the bat, Cooper blurted out, “Are you cheating?!”
Andre was stunned. Realizing there might be a misunderstanding, he immediately denied it, “Your sister is the only woman in my life. Who would I cheat with?”
Cooper was on his way to the airport, planning to fly back home. If Andre was truly having an affair, he needed to be there to support his sister.
But Andre’s words stopped him in his tracks. He wasn’t cheating?
“Did Mia tell you I am cheating?” Andre countered.
Mia had started slinging mud so soon? Was his love for her so frail that it would falter after just one day apart, leading to infidelity?
Cooper told him, “My sister was secretly looking up your mistress online yesterday, and my mom saw her search history.”
Andre chuckled. “I see.”
After hanging up, Cooper was left in a daze. Should he still go home? He decided to make the trip. He hadn’t seen his sister and his adorable future nephew in a while.
...
The Irvin’s home was finally graced by the presence of their son-in-law.
When Andre’s car pulled up in the driveway, Madison felt a sense of relief. Andre walked into the living room, where his mother-in-law was waiting. His mind wandered to her cunning ways.
“Madison, where’s Mia?” he asked.
Without revealing her daughter’s whereabouts, Madison asked, “You’ve wrapped up work? What brought you here all of a sudden?”
Andre didn’t beat around the bush. “If I did not come, I might be accused of having an illegitimate child.”
Hearing her son-in-law’s blunt joke, Madison realized their marital issues weren’t caused by a third party’s interference. “She’s in her bedroom. Go ahead.”
“Thanks,” Andre suddenly expressed his gratitude.
Madison responded modestly, “I merely pointed you in the right direction. There’s no need to thank me.”
Andre was insightful. He replied, “It’s not just about pointing me in the right direction. It’s also about that phone call.”
A glimmer of appreciation flashed through Madison’s eyes. Her son-in-law had understood her intent. She had intentionally let slip during her call with Cooper about Mia’s online search. If Andre was indeed unfaithful, Cooper wouldn’t be able to bear it.
As parents, they didn’t want to meddle in their children’s marital affairs. However, Cooper was on the same generational level as them. Moreover, as Mia’s brother, he had every right to confront Andre. Andre would then be aware of his wife’s suspicions.
If Andre was truly unfaithful, Cooper would likely lose his temper and call Madison, urging her to keep Mia away from the Cedillo family.
If Andre wasn’t cheating but found out about Mia’s online search, he would immediately clear up the misunderstanding. After all, Mia was pregnant. Any misunderstanding could harm both the mother and child, which was something no one could bear.
“Just go upstairs.”
