Jade's pupils narrowed, "And then what?"
"He might be reminded of his lost sister every time he sees you, so he treats you as well as he would
treat his own sister."
The room fell silent.
Jade shook her head, trying to shake off the memory of the bloody boy in her mind. She didn't want to
hear her own sobbing voice crying "Brother, save me" again.
Mia asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Jade replied, "Nothing." She picked up her clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to change.
Mia held a set of Jade's underwear and asked, "Jade, don't tell me Chad got these from your
wardrobe?"
Jade snatched the underwear and matching panties, "My mom picked them out for me, is there a
problem?"
When she came out after changing, Leo was also quietly standing next to Andre. "Jade, how are you
doing?"
Jade jumped twice towards everyone, "I'm fine now, can we go home?"
Everyone agreed.
So, before the party was over, the two guardians left with the three of them.
In the car, Andre wanted to know more, "Leo, can you tell me more about Pete and Carl?"
"Oh, Carl is a follower of Pete's family, he's always sucking up to them. Pete is a bad guy, he likes
Jade, but can't win her over. He once got beaten up by Mia, but because the Irvin family and his own
are equally powerful, Pete's family didn't bother Mia..."
"Did Mia hit anyone today?"
Mia in the passenger seat defended herself, "I didn't hit anyone."
Only a husband would know his wife, "Didn't you throw them into the pool?"
Mia lied, "They slipped and fell in."
"Really?" Andre asked.
Mia nodded firmly, "Yes." Anyway, she didn't remember hitting anyone. If her husband found out she
had been violent again, she would firmly deny it. Or, she could find an excuse to shirk.
"Leo, did Mia..."
"I don't know. I was drunk. I don't remember anything." Leo immediately cleared himself of any
responsibility.
Mia was very satisfied with Leo's reaction in the back seat. Andre snorted, he had told his wife not to
fight, but she just couldn't remember.
On the other hand, Chad was walking with Jade on the road, "Why aren't you talking?"
Usually Jade talked so much on the road that Chad wanted to kick her, but today she was unusually
quiet. It was like falling into the water once had made her dull.
Jade scratched her ear. "Nothing to say."
While waiting for the traffic light, Chad looked at the deeply troubled Jade.
"Chad, I have a question. Why is there a scar on my arm?"
Chad's hand on the steering wheel tightened, "You bit yourself."
"Why would I bite myself?"
"Maybe it was some stupid thing you did when you were a kid."
They arrived at Evergreen Haven.
Jade found that there was no one at home, not even the servants. "Where are my parents? Where are
my grandparents? Where's my nanny?"
"They're not home, is there a problem?"
"Then, I..." Could it be that the clothes she was wearing were really found by Chad in the wardrobe?
Oh my god! If that was the case, Jade would rather be struck by lightning.
"Chad, I'm sleepy, I want to go to bed now."
"Have you eaten yet?" Chad had found out that they had all been drinking and hadn't eaten.
Jade's stomach was growling with hunger.
Chad took off his coat and hung it on the sofa, then went to the kitchen. "Come and chat with me, I'll
make you something to eat."
"Okay."
Jade followed Chad in small steps.
After Mia and Leo got home, Andre ordered servant to prepare dinner for the two of them.
Hansen looked a bit unhappy, "You two went out to party and didn't even get a meal?"
Mia, "We planned to come back hungry and eat dinner, so you could have an extra late night meal."
Hansen went to the dining room, and sat down facing the two of them.
Leo got drunk and fell into the water, so Andre had the kitchen prepare a soup for him in advance to
warm up. Although Mia didn't fall into the water, Andre still made her drink some soup.
She looked at the large bowl of soup, feeling upset; she knew this soup was very healthy, but also very
hard to swallow. She stared at her husband sitting across from her and came up with an idea, "Dear, do
you love me?"
"No." Andre answered quickly.
Mia bit her lip: He's pretty quick on the uptake.
"But dear, I love you so much, I want to share all the good things with you." She sweetly set a trap for
her husband.
Smart Andre, seeing the trap, simply sidestepped it. "If you don't drink the soup, don't even think about
sleeping tonight." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
After eating, Mia looked at the large bowl of soup, frowned and said, "I don't want to drink the soup."
Andre couldn't control his disobedient wife anymore. Leo had dutifully finished his soup, but she was
bargaining with him at the dining table.
"How about this, dear, we take turns drinking, you take a sip, I take a sip, then you take another sip,
okay?"
At the negotiation table, no one could beat him. Mia seemed a bit overconfident.
Leo watched the two negotiators. He and his grandfather made a private bet to see who would win in
the end.
Hansen whispered in his grandson's ear, "I think Mia has no advantage over Andre."
Leo whispered back, "Then you're underestimating her abilities."
Andre threatened: "It's getting late, don't make me force you."
Mia took a sip of the soup and immediately frowned. It was too disgusting. "Even if you force me, I
won't drink it, it's too disgusting."
Hansen looked at Mia's expression, "Is it really that disgusting?"
Leo saw his grandfather's curious expression and said, "No, she's just pretending, grandpa, you can
taste it."
Then, the very curious Hansen also got a bowl.
Mia was surprised, "Hansen, why would you want to drink this?"
Hansen said, "I want to taste it."
He barely took a sip, and immediately spat it out on the ground. Then he grabbed his cane and started
chasing his grandson.
The two disappeared from the restaurant, leaving only the couple behind.
Mia looked at the soup in front of her with some annoyance, and Andre could tell that his wife really
didn't want to drink it. He sat next to her, picked up her bowl, took a sip, and tasted it.
Sure enough, it didn't taste good.
Mia turned her head, her bright eyes filled with pleading. "Honey, can I not drink this? I feel like I'm
okay."
