Hansen was really pleased with what Mia said.
The Byrne clan just walked in.
Molly started introducing everyone.
Grandpa Elmer, looking at Hansen and asked, "Are you sure my granddaughter is your daughter? Do
you want to have another DNA test? I think you might have mixed it up."
Hansen replied, "No need, could I mistake my own daughter?"
"What if you're wrong?"
Hansen: "I won't be, she has the same eyes as her mother."
Grandpa Elmer said, "My granddaughter had plastic surgery."
Molly: “I didn't. I was born this gorgeous.”
Hansen: "Plastic surgery doesn't change blood type, we've tested it, she's my daughter."
Grandma Aubree looked around and asked Mia, "What does the Cedillo family do? They look pretty
loaded."
Coleen awkwardly explained to her mom, "Jade's two brothers, one is the mayor of city Z, the other
one is the business tycoon, Andre."
"Wow, so the Cedillo family is also pretty well-off then?" Grandma Aubree asked again.
Coleen nodded, "A lot better than us."
Grandma Aubree seemed a bit relieved, "As long as it's not a poor family, my granddaughter won't
suffer when she goes there."
She was really worried someone would take her granddaughter back and then mistreat her.
Mia and Leo Cedillo each joined the teams of Coleen and Grandma Aubree, reassuring them.
Leo, on the other hand, joined Grandpa Elmer's team, promoting his family big time.
"Wow, this girl is also pretty, just like Jade." Grandma Aubree said to Coleen while looking at Mia.
Coleen smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's Mia, Jade's best friend."
"Oh, it's Mia. My granddaughter has mentioned her before, is she also from the Cedillo family?"
Mia thought to herself that since she was the daughter-in-law of the Cedillo family, she was part of the
Cedillo family.
So she smiled sweetly, "Yes, Grandma Aubree, I'm part of the Cedillo family."
"Mia, how old are you this year? Do you have a boyfriend? If not, what do you think of my grandson?
He's a police captain, with a good character and handsome appearance, and he also has a stable job."
Grandma Aubree pointed at Chad among the group of men, planning to set this seemingly fortunate girl
up with her grandson.
"Mom, stop playing matchmaker. Mia is already married, she's the daughter-in-law of the Cedillo family,
Mia's husband is sitting right there." Coleen hurriedly interrupted Grandma Aubree, pointing at the most
aloof man among the men.
"What? Already married?" Grandma Aubree looked at Mia in surprise. "Aren't you the daughter of the
Cedillo family?"
Mia nodded, "You could say I'm half a daughter, I was born into the Irvin family, but the family I married
into is right here."
Andre just happened to look over, he was very grateful to the Byrne family. But what was the deal with
introducing boyfriends for his wife?!
Taking another look at Mia, she always went makeup-free at home, looking like a child.
Could it be that in a few years, when Mia had a son with her, she would still be mistaken as if that was
her brother?
Mr. Cedillo was a bit annoyed.
Molly sat next to Chad, and worriedly asking, "Chad, do you think Grandma and Grandpa will argue
with my dad?"
Chad shook his head, comforting her, "No, they only came here worried you were born into a poor
family, and that the Cedillo family would have a negative influence on your life. They just wanted to
state their position. But seeing the social status of the Cedillo family, Grandma and Grandpa should be
reassured."
Despite being reassured, Grandpa Elmer still warned Hansen, "The Byrne family only has Molly as a
granddaughter. Whether she's biological or not, if you dare mistreat her, I'd risk my life to resist, even if
I become a ghost, I won't let you off."
Seeing the deep love the Byrne family had for Molly, Hansen was deeply touched.
He was deeply moved, his daughter was alive, and she had encountered such a wonderful family.
At noon, Hansen opened a bottle of fine aged wine.
He had given up drinking, but today he drank freely again.
He stood up, raising his glass, "Today, both of our families are here, ever since I found out my daughter
was alive, I've been wanting to find an opportunity to have a meal together. Firstly, to thank you for
saving my daughter; secondly, to thank you for your hard work in raising and loving my daughter;
thirdly, to thank you for saving the Cedillo family. The love you have for Molly, the Cedillo family will
never forget. If you have any difficulties, the Cedillo family will unhesitatingly help you. The kindness of
the Byrne family, the Cedillo family will never forget for eternity."
Mr. Kendrick, representing the Byrne family, stood up to clink glasses with him. Gradually, everyone at
the table stood up, raising their glasses and drinks to toast.
After finishing this round of drinks, both families started conversing naturally.
After a period of cooling down, everyone accepted the current relationship.
The men of the Byrne family all got drunk that day.
Grandpa Elmer ended up plastered, sitting next to Hansen as if they were praying together.
"Listen here, you better treat my Molly right, don't you dare upset her."
Hansen replied, "She's my daughter, and I'll cherish her."
Grandpa Elmer asked with a tinge of regret, "You're only a dozen years younger than me, why did it
take you so long to have a daughter?"
"I got hitched late, didn't have Molly till I was pushing fifty. Who would've thought, right? The moment
we realized she was a girl, we decided to have her no matter what."
Grandpa Elmer patted Hansen's shoulder, "Your family's something else."
Hansen responded, "Yours is the one that's something else."
Chad was also flushed from drinking, with Molly taking care of him the whole time. "Chad, you don't C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
usually drink. You've had so much today, why don't you take a day off tomorrow?"
"I'm fine."
Mia told Molly, "Get Chad to drink more water, it'll help with his drunkenness."
Molly immediately went to fetch water, running back and forth not just for Chad, but for all the men who
were drinking.
Andre asked Mia curiously, "How do you know all this?"
"I looked it up before."
"Why did you look it up?"
Mia obediently answered, "You've gotten drunk a few times before, so I checked online. Someone told
me that men who drink should drink more water because it dilutes the alcohol in their body. After a trip
to the restroom, they'll sober up a lot."
Suddenly, Andre realized that in the past few gatherings where he had been drinking, Mia would drive
to pick him up. Each time, she had water prepared in the car, these were all her considerate gestures.
Andre wrapped his arm around Mia's shoulder, pulling her close.
This was also to show the elders of the Byrne family just how close their marital relationship was.
When the people from the Byrne family were preparing to leave, Andre arranged a driver to send them
home.
Molly also returned to the Byrne family's place.
Naomi and her son helped the slightly drunk Bruce Cedillo back to his bedroom.
The drunk Bruce, looking at his son, proudly pointed at Leo and said, "My son, you really do hide your
light under a bushel."
In today's gathering, all the men had been drinking, but only he and Andre hadn't gotten drunk.
Instead he and Hansen drank a bit too much and needed help walking.
Andre alone helped Hansen upstairs to sleep. Hansen's legs were already a bit unsteady, and he told
Andre many interesting stories from the Cedillo family's past.
"You think I don't know? I knew my daughter broke my favorite cup and you took the blame for her. I
knew all along. But I pretended not to know, just to teach you a lesson. I can't bear to blame my
daughter, but I can bear to blame my son."
