Mia wrapped her arms tightly around her husband’s waist, nestling her face against his chest like a kitten, her leg draped comfortably over his. “I’m sorry, honey, I didn’t think it all through.”
Andre opened his eyes and turned slightly to gaze at the soft top of his petite wife’s head. “You were right too, you know.”
They were just trying to do what they thought was best for Leo in their own way.
Mia looked up, meeting her husband’s eyes silently, then rose and lay on his chest, pouting before kissing him on the lips. “Honey, I’m sure Leo did his homework on this. If he’s persistent, it means he’s confident.”
Andre lowered his gaze, looking at the mother of his child lying on him. “It’s good for young folks to have dreams, passion, and determination.”
After speaking, Mia continued to lie in her husband’s arms, softly calling out, “Honey.” Andre replied with a simple, “Hmm?”
“Let’s take the baby and head back home?”
Andre stayed silent.
“Honey~”
Mia looked up at her husband who had closed his eyes, convinced he wasn’t asleep but just ignoring her. “Honey, let’s go back to Maplewood Estates. We’ve been here long enough.”
“Honey, answer me.”
She climbed up and kissed him again, and this time Andre just turned slightly, hugging his wife tightly.
Mia snorted at her supposedly sleeping husband. “Keep pretending.”
Andre wanted to stay home to see how Leo would handle things and when he’d come back, while Mia wanted to take him away to give Leo space to return. She knew that if her husband was at home, Leo’s stubborn nature wouldn’t allow him to come back.
He seemed easy-going, but was actually as stubborn as a mule.
Lying in her husband’s arms, Mia’s thoughts wandered before finally gazing at his face. “Ignoring me, huh? I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“Let’s sleep,” Andre said, closing his eyes as a reminder.
The rebellious sweet wife declared, “I won’t sleep.”
Andre opened his eyes, just as his wife looked at him, then quickly closed them again. Her actions were adorable, making her just as lovable as their son. Andre finally smiled, looking at his cute and cunning wife.
Mia closed her eyes, ready for a goodnight kiss from her husband. She puckered her lips towards his face randomly, “Hmm, where are the lips?”
Andre lifted her up and kissed her softly. “Let’s sleep.”
This time, Mia lay down peacefully.
Andre watched his wife fall asleep, then quietly took his phone to message the head of the security department at his company.
Meanwhile, Chad found himself without the warm presence of his wife in his arms, as she had gone to sleep in the “niece-in-law’s” room far away.
Anya knew her aunt wanted to comfort her. “Auntie, I’m fine now. You should go back to uncle.”
“My dear, I’ll stay with you tonight.” She had no intention of going back to her husband.
“Anya, say you’re still upset tomorrow, so your auntie can keep you company again.”
Anya: “…”
The next morning, the atmosphere in the Cedillo family was still tense. At the breakfast table, Hansen asked his second son, “Andre, does the company have an IT security department? We’re thinking of letting Leo take charge if so.”
Andre scowled, “He knows whether it exists or not.”
Leo had been with the company long enough; if he was passionate about IT, he’d have known from the start.
