Chapter 272
Chad looked at his sister and said, "She didn't mean to hurt anyone. It was just a reflex out of fright.
She accidentally hit a staff member and didn't commit a crime. The person in charge will be here soon,
let's hear what he has to say. Hopefully, we can settle this privately."
Mia asked, "But what if they don't want to settle it privately or if their demands are too much?"
Andre replied, "Then I'll just buy the place."
Mia turned to her husband, tears glistening in her eyes. Andre wouldn't let his wife get arrested. He
could scare her with words, but when things got real, he would protect her. He wouldn't let anyone take
his wife away.
Soon, the manager came over and was stunned to see Andre. He said, "Andre."
Andre nodded.
The manager looked at Mia, who was in Andre's arms, "And this is?"
"My wife." Andre replied.
The manager was speechless.
After finding out Andre's identity, the manager didn’t call the police. Instead, he showed them the video
footage.
The scene in the video made Chad shiver. These three actually went to a haunted house in the
morning. Seeing all the ghosts and bloody hands, he believed that if he were there, he would have
fought back instinctively.
Most people went to haunted houses when it was crowded in the afternoon. But these three dared to
go in alone.
In the video, one person was crying his name, another was crying for her husband. He believed that
Andre, watching this, would feel the same, feeling heartbroken and wishing they could protect their
loved ones on the scene.
Upon seeing the video, hearing his wife crying his name, Andre's anger immediately vanished,
replaced by aching concern.
He couldn't bear to watch anymore and asked the manager directly, "What do you guys suggest to
solve this? I'd like to hear your thoughts."
Mia sat next to her husband, looking downcast, like a child who had done something wrong. Andre held
her cold small hand, comforting her in this way.
Upon hearing the compensation they demanded, Andre promptly gave them the money and the issue
was settled privately.
Leaving the meeting room, Andre gently told them, "Don't go to haunted houses anymore, okay?"
They all nodded, knowing they were wrong.
Chad helped Molly straighten her clothes, gently wiping away her tears, asking, "Do you want to leave
with me or them?"
Molly took a step towards Chad, "I want to leave with you."
In the end, Andre took his wife, and Leo drove himself home.
On the road, Mia was guiltily touching her hand. Andre glanced at her, thinking about what she had
done. He wanted to laugh, but he didn’t dare.
Finally, he turned his head, driving with one hand, his left elbow resting on the window and a finger
hiding the smile on his lips.
"Honey, if you want to laugh, just let it out. Don't hold it back. I can hear your laughter." Mia said.
Andre thought it was better to respect his wife, who was obviously scared now.
Mia pursed her lips, feeling that she was too cowardly. She thought she would be brave in the haunted
house, but she lost her reason as soon as she entered. She had just argued with her husband the night
before, and today she was calling him for help.
"Honey, am I always causing you trouble?" Mia asked.
"Yes, you should go back to school soon. I'm always on edge when you're at home." Andre said.
Mia remembered when she was still unmarried and had just returned home for the holidays, she was
the apple of her parents' eyes, and all the delicious food and drinks were hers. After being home for a
while, her mother would also say, "You should go back to school soon. I'm always worried when you're
at home."
Back home, Hansen noticed there was one less person. He asked Mia, "What trouble have you guys
caused again?"
Hansen had noticed a pattern. Every time two people left the house but came back as three, something NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
important must have happened. Every time three people left but came back as two, they must have
caused trouble and his daughter would hide at the Byrne family. The friendship among these three was
strong yet fragile.
"What did you guys get up to this time?" Hansen was very curious.
Mia was a bit embarrassed this time, "We went to a haunted house and ended up getting scared by the
ghosts. I hit them."
Upon hearing this, Hansen couldn't help but laugh, "Mia, ha-ha, were you looking for a thrill or were you
trying to give the ghosts a thrill?"
Mia knew Hansen's first reaction would be to laugh!
"Don't you care that we got scared?" Mia asked.
Hansen was very honest, "I see you're fine, with limbs intact, mind clear, speech fluent, and
movements agile. You're definitely okay."
Mia said, “I get it, my dad doesn't love me!”
Andre told his wife to go upstairs to change, he had to go to the office in the afternoon and wanted to
take her with him.
After Mia went upstairs, Andre told his father, "Mia was scared, don't laugh at her but respect her."
Hansen, trying to suppress his laughter, agreed with his son, "Okay, okay, I'll control myself. No more
laughing."
He took out his phone, found Harry's contact, and sent a voice message, "Hey, can you hear me. I'll tell
you, Mia caused trouble again! You'll never guess what it is this time."
Andre standing nearby, left speechless. If Mia saw her father telling others about her embarrassing
situation, she would definitely cry. Her image was ruined.
After changing, Andre took her to the office. In the afternoon, she sat on the sofa, feeling a bit down.
Noah was curious about what she had done again, wondering if it was more exciting than the time she
caused a scene at the Mastin family.
He asked Alice. Alice said, "If you want to die, don't drag me into it."
Noah found it boring and left.
Another day passed, and the Christmas atmosphere was getting stronger. Mia got home and looked at
her face in the mirror. "Honey, I won't go to the office with you tomorrow. I have some things to do."
As Andre was fixing his hair and opening the curtains, he asked, "Going to find Molly?"
Mia shook her head, "I don't dare to see her."
She knew very well that when the three of them were together, trouble was bound to happen! Seeing
that Mia had been relatively well-behaved these past two days, Andre didn't restrict her, so he said, "As
long as you're not with Leo and Molly, you can go wherever you want."
Mia nodded, then got up and went back to bed. The next day, while Andre was off to work, she hitched
a ride to downtown.
She went to the bank, withdrew three grand, and then headed to the hospital. She was in the pain unit,
searching for the "ghost" she had injured. But once the ghost was out of makeup, she couldn't
recognize him.
She walked up to the nurse's station and asked, "Hey, where's the guy who got sent in from the
haunted house at the amusement park the other day?"
