Chapter 185
Chapter 185
After a while, Mia suddenly remembered something and asked, “Hey babe, Newton was the one who
got hit by an apple, right?”
Mr. Cedillo, "…Mia, how did you do in high school?”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
Mr. Cedillo shook his head, more curious about how she got into Havenbrook University.
“Did you cheat on your exams?”
Mia shook her head innocently, her voice laced with a hint of grievance, "Nah, I wouldn't dare to cheat."
Andre figured that Mia's acceptance into university was sheer luck. Otherwise, any general knowledge
questions in exams would have her mentally cursing the test makers.
He didn't want Mia involved in his search for his sister. She would inevitably bring her own feelings into
it because of her relationship with Jade. But he did indeed see that bite mark. If Jade was really his
sister, Mia would be in a fix.
Andre said, “Come on, let's go out.”
“Just to be clear, darling, I'm not down for art exhibitions, museums, or creative parks.”
Andre, "…How about desserts?”
Mia cheerfully linked her arm with her husband's, resting her head on his shoulder. “Oh, you're the
best!”
With Kittemia by his side, Andre found it hard not to smile. He took Mia's hand and they left the
company.
After they left, Noah and Alice started chatting. “Alice, why does Mr. Cedillo always skip work whenever
his wife shows up?”
Alice, "Why are you asking me?”
“Because you're married.”
Before Andre got married, he used to sleep in the company sometimes. But now, once he saw his wife,
work was the last thing on his mind. He was completely neglecting his work; all he wanted was to go on
dates with his wife. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Alice, "Don't assume all married people are the same. Mr. Cedillo is not ordinary, and we are just
ordinary.”
Andre took his wife to the dessert shop again. This irritated Hansen, who was at home. He complained
about the irresponsible couple to his grandson for a long time.
“Leo, take me to catch them.”
Leo, playing on his phone, "Nah.”
Hansen, "Hey, when we find them, I'll beat them up for you.”
Leo continued playing his racing game, and he said while looking at the screen, “Remembering I'm
your grandson now? Too late.”
He was so engrossed in the game, while Hansen, who was supposed to be complaining, suddenly got
hooked. “...Left, you idiot, I said go left, give it to me.”
Leo quickly hid his phone, “You can play on your own.”
Hansen took out his phone, “Download it for me, I'll play on yours first.”
Leo refused, so Hansen tried to snatch it. He tried to snatch Leo's phone, and Leo fell on the couch,
“Mom, mom, grandpa's trying to take my phone. Mom, help.”
Naomi looked out the door, then pretended to see nothing and went back in.
Leo: Why do I do this to myself!
In the end, Hansen won. With the phone in his hand, he selected a motorcycle.
“Don't make me lose.”
“No way, I was the coolest when I rode motorcycles in my youth.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a gunshot rang out on the phone screen, and the car
controlled by Hansen immediately crashed into a wall.
Both of them fell silent. Was this what you call cool?
“You better give it back to me.” Leo took his phone back and started playing again.
Hansen watched intently from the side, “Hurry up, overtake them.”
Seeing that Leo didn't overtake, he started complaining, “Look at your pathetic skills, useless.”
“Come on, if you're so good, then you do it.”
Hansen glanced at the difficult racing track, having learned from his previous mistake. He backed off, “I
don't need to play, I'll just give you some pointers from the side.”
“I think you just don't know how.”
“Are you asking for a beating?”
Hansen picked up his walking stick to threaten him.
The two of them wouldn't stop bickering, even over a game. The living room was filled with their
arguments.
Hansen loved to give advice, but every time it ended in failure, he still saw failure as the mother of
success and continued to instruct.
In the end, the game ended, and Leo had dropped from level 8 to level 5. Both of them stared at the
ranking and fell silent.
At dinner, Hansen tried to appease Leo, “Leo…”
“Don't call me.”
“We…”
“Don't drag me into it.”
“No, this afternoon…”
“No.”
Every time Hansen tried to speak, he was interrupted by Leo.
Naomi scolded her son for being disrespectful to his grandfather.
"It's okay, it's okay, Naomi, don't be angry. Leo is a good and respectful child. We shouldn't always be
scolding him. We only have this one child in our family." Hansen, now playing the role of a kindly
grandfather, was defending Leo, a complete contrast to his behavior on the couch earlier.
Mia and Andre returned from their date. She had a paper bowl in her hand, filled to the brim with
delicious food.
“Dad, are you asleep?”
Hansen pretended to be surprised, coming slowly down the stairs. “Well, look who decided to come
back.”
Mia tried to win him over, “It's all Andre's fault. Why did he have to take me to eat all this delicious
food? Now I'm getting fat.”
Hansen scoffed at Mia's words.
Mia held up her hand, “Guess what this is.”
Hansen had already smelled it, but he played hard to get and didn't ask.
Mia changed her shoes, walked over, and presented the variety of snacks she had bought with both
hands. “Your son may not be considerate, but your daughter-in-law is. Even though I ate a lot of
delicious food when I was out, I thought of you with every bite, and I brought some back for you.”
“That's more like it.”
Hansen took the food to the dining room. He started to complain to Mia about how Leo was ignoring
him.
“You just eat, I'll go deal with him for you.”
Mia put on a show of rolling up her sleeves and going upstairs to find Leo.
Hansen felt comforted and started eating happily. Andre, the killjoy, reminded him, “Eat less, don't end
up in the hospital again tonight.”
When they were out, he didn't want Mia to buy so much, but he couldn't control her. She would buy
something delicious whenever she passed a booth. She came back only when she couldn't carry all the
things she bought for Hansen.
"You're such a buzzkill!"
Andre awkwardly touched his nose, "These are all kid's food, you'll upset your stomach if you eat too
much at your age. I'm going to prepare some diarrhea medicine for you tonight and put it on your
bedside table."
"Enough of that!"
A call came on Andre's phone. He gave his dad a worried look before heading upstairs with his phone.
Mia went to play in Leo's room again. As he passed by, he heard laughter coming from inside. Andre
opened the door to his nephew's bedroom and saw the excited Mia. He said, "It's okay to play for a
while, but go back early and get to bed early tonight."
"Got it."
Mia was like Andre's daughter, playing with her friends outside and being reminded by her parents to
come home early.
