"Are you awake now?" Andre asked.
Mia replied with an "Hmm."
Andre noticed the tightly held phone in her hand and squinted his eyes. "Are you looking at your
phone?"
Mia answered again, impatiently asking, "Can I help you?"
Molly and Leo felt that something was off between the couple.
Mia was completely different today towards her husband, devoid of the previous infatuation. She
greeted him with an icy demeanor, which was quite unusual.
Molly and Leo immediately stood aside, watching the couple had a falling out. They felt quite happy
about it.
This time, Andre realized that she wasn't just waking up but deliberately ignoring him. Andre noticed
that all three of them were already dressed, seemingly ready to go out. He asked, "Where are you
going?"
"To study," Mia said.
Molly and Leo were speechless.
At some point, a pretext had spread within their family. Whenever they didn't want to reveal their true
intentions, they would use "to study" as an excuse.
Leo and Molly had used it before, and even Mia, who usually looked down on this excuse, used it
today.
However, although Andre didn't want to disturb others while they were studying, he didn't mind
disturbing his wife. Besides, it was just the first day after her exams, so she wouldn't be studying yet.
Andre took hold of her wrist and led her to his car.
"Andre, let go of me. I want to study, and you can't stop me from pursuing knowledge," Mia said.
Andre replied, "It's not appropriate for the three of you to study together."
When these three people studied together, Leo was usually responsible for studying, while the other
two were just there to have fun.
Mia found herself being placed in the passenger seat as Andre held her.
Andre started the car and drove away with her.
Molly and Leo felt ignored. Molly frowned in regret and said, "I didn't see anything fun."
Leo asked, "Do we have to chase after them to the company to see them argue?"
"Do you dare to go to the company and watch them argue?" Leo shook her head.
"I don't dare either," she replied, shaking her head.
On the way, Mia angrily threw her bag into the car and said, "Pull over."
Andre pulled over by the roadside, and he snatched Mia's phone, unlocking it with his own fingerprint.
Mia exclaimed, "Oh my, when did he add his fingerprint to her phone?"
Andre saw the contact named "Tiger" at the top of her list, with a blocked status displayed behind it. He
turned to look at the girl beside him.
Mia blinked her eyes, shocked that her husband had noticed she had blocked him so quickly.
"You blocked me?" Andre asked.
Mia pouted and replied, "You saw it, and yet you pretend not to know."
Andre inwardly scolded himself for being too worried about her. He had even made a special effort to
come back earlier in the afternoon to wake her up.
"I just taught you a lesson last nigh. Are you trying to make me angry again?" Andre asked.
Mia snatched her phone back and reprimanded him, "When did you add your fingerprint to my phone?"
"Didn't you add your fingerprint to my phone?" Andre asked.
"Oh my, he found out again." Mia thought.
"When did you find out?" she asked, feeling guilty.
Andre recalled how she would take his phone without asking and play with it at home. It had become a
habit.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. But one day, after he finished showering, he found his phone
in her hands again. She didn't even need to enter a password to start playing with it, which puzzled
him.
After Mia fell asleep, he picked up his own phone and discovered an additional fingerprint. He looked at
Mia sleeping on the bed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He should have been angry, but he felt happy instead.
In the end, Mia was reluctantly taken to the company by her husband, holding hands.
"Where are you planning to go for fun?" Andre asked.
"We're going to play an escape room," Mia replied.
Andre sneered, "Boring."
"This is a game for young people. Adults might find it boring. We even asked Hansen before leaving,
and he also found it boring," Mia explained.
Andre asked carefully, "Are you implying that I'm getting old?"
Mia helplessly said, "I didn't say anything." It was all you.
Andre felt fooled by his wife and pointed to the sofa, saying, "Go play by yourself."
"I don't want to play in front of you," Mia retorted.
Andre said, "Then who do you want to play in front of?"
"I'm not telling you."
Andre was speechless. He stood up, and Mia immediately backed away.
Andre asked, "Why are you hiding?"
Mia replied, "I just won't say."
Just as she was about to make her husband lose his temper and scold her, Alice knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Andre sat back in his seat.
Alice entered, sensing that there was something unusual in the room. She glanced at Mrs. Cedillo
hiding in the corner. Why was she so far away from Andre? Did they have an argument?
Alice, who had been married for many years, could tell at a glance that something was amiss. After
completing the tasks Andre had assigned her yesterday, she handed the files to him for review.
Andre glanced at the documents and then signed them. "Go ahead and handle it." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked up again and glanced at his wife in the corner, who avoided eye contact.
Alice smiled and said, "Mr. Cedillo, the results of the company-wide employee health check-up are out.
What about yours?"
Mia perked up her ears.
Andre said, "I don't need a health check-up."
Alice replied, "Mr. Cedillo, you've been socializing a lot lately and sometimes experience headaches.
It's possible that there's an underlying health issue. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. It's
always better to detect any health problems early, especially considering the years you've spent staying
up late and not properly resting. Your health might have already been compromised."
Mia shifted slightly.
Andre persisted, stating that he didn't need a health check-up and that his health was fine. But Mia
walked over and said, "Alice, where should we go for the check-up?"
"At the downtown hospital," Alice replied.
Mia asked, "When would be a good time to go?"
Alice advised Mia, "If it's for an employee, I would recommend going on the weekend. But if it's for
Andre, then of course he can go whenever he wants."
Mia then asked, "Do we need to fast before going? Like, do they need to draw blood or anything?"
"Yes, fasting is required. Mrs. Cedillo, are you going too?"
"I'm not going. I'm asking on behalf of my husband," Mia replied.
Andre said, "Mia, there's nothing wrong with my health."
"You shut up! Did I ask you to speak?" Mia said loudly to her husband.
Andre laughed again. She yelled at him loudly, but he didn't get angry at all.
Mia asked Alice about some related details, such as the most suitable time, approximate duration, and
which tests needed to be done. Only when she had a definite plan in mind did she allow Alice to leave.
Before leaving, Alice glanced at the reprimanded Andre and said, "After getting married, there's
someone to manage you."
Andre looked at Mia, who could boss him around, and smiled. "Now someone dares to give me orders,
and I can't resist."
Mia proudly walked out and came back with a bottle of drink.
In the afternoon, Andre was in his office while Mia reviewed learning materials on her phone.
In the evening, after Mia got into bed, she kicked Andre and said, "Go sleep in the study."
Andre asked, "Why?"
"I don't want to sleep with you. Do I need a reason?"
