Chapter 296
Cooper asked her, "Do you want to video chat?"
Mia glanced at her surroundings and wanted to decline, saying, "I'm outside, it's not convenient."
"You should be at home. It's already ten o'clock at night in Eldoria, and the weather is cold. A bear like
you shouldn't be going out."
Seeing that Mia didn't respond, Cooper asked again, "Are you dating someone now?"
"No."
After Mia said those words, her heart started racing. As she was about to type in the chat box, "I'm
married," Cooper's message came through, "That's good. If you have a boyfriend, I'll come back
immediately."
Mia immediately deleted the sentence she had typed. She held her phone against her chest with both
hands.
After a while without responding to her brother's words, Cooper's message came again, "Sis, is
everything okay at home? Why do I feel like Mom, Dad, and you are all acting strange?"
Mia looked at the chat dialogue and indeed, it was weird. She was married, and she hadn't told him.
Was that normal or not?
Mia's initial plan was to move out with Andre after getting married, allowing him to live his own
independent life while she returned to her previous single life. Living in her parents' house, having no
interference with Andre, and they would be a couple in name only.
However, fantasies were controllable, while reality was unpredictable.
When she got married, she never expected to fall in love with Andre, and herself, an outsider, became
a part of the Cedillo family.
If things had gone in the normal order, dating before marriage, she would definitely have informed her
brother about her marriage. But her sequence was all mixed up. Marriage, arguments, dating, falling in
love... it was like an absurd TV drama.
She didn't tell her brother initially because she was afraid that if he knew about it, he would come back
and prevent her from marrying into the Cedillo family, causing unnecessary trouble. As a result, as she
kept it a secret, she now didn't know how to explain it.
Cooper was about to enter college abroad, and his grades were excellent. The Irvin family didn't want
him to give up his overseas education. At this time, if she told him that she was married, he would
definitely come back. If he knew that she was forced into this marriage, he would surely give up his
overseas studies and stay in Havenbrook to protect his family.
After a while, Andre came back, and Mia quickly said to her brother, "I'm going to sleep now,
goodnight."
After finishing, she placed her phone on the bedside table and curled up under the blanket, watching as
the man approached.
Andre walked in, sat on the edge of the bed, and lifted the blanket, looking at Mia's blushing face
underneath. "What's wrong? Why is your face abnormally red?"
Mia clutched the blanket tightly, wrapping herself up. "It's too hot in the house."
Andre sat on the bed and uncovered the blanket, getting into bed next to Mia. However, Mia rolled
inside the blanket and lay where Andre usually slept.
Andre, on the other hand, lay where she usually slept.
Mia's phone rang on the bedside table. Since Andre and she had just switched positions, he was the
most convenient one to grab the phone. Andre casually picked up her phone, and Mia immediately
jumped out of the blanket, trying to snatch it back.
It hadn't been long since Andre left, but he had a lingering feeling that his wife was hiding something
from him. As Mia tried to snatch the phone, Andre extended his arm, keeping the phone out of her
reach. "What are you doing, my dear?"
Andre held his wife's small waist, making her lie on his chest, while his other hand held the phone high,
preventing her from grabbing it.
In the bedroom, the phone rang for a while before automatically stopping. Mia lay on her husband's
chest, pouting and decided to ignore her husband.
"Mia, did you do something again that you're afraid to let me know?" Andre asked.
Mia had nothing to say.
In a villa overseas, a teenager sat quietly by the window, with towering phoenix trees outside. On the
table, there were snacks brought by his parents during their last visit and local specialties from his
hometown. He looked at the unanswered phone number on his phone, furrowing his brow and placing
the phone against his lower lip.
His classmates told him that the Cedillo Group had formed an alliance with the Irvin family, and even
asked him, "Is your brother-in-law Andre?"
Cooper immediately denied it, "Impossible, my sister isn't married. She doesn't even have a boyfriend.
A woman like her wouldn't be able to get married. Maybe it's another Irvin family."
His classmates then started conversing in a foreign language, speculating that it might be another Irvin
family.
Cooper also thought it might be another Irvin family when he found unsettling information online. Could
there be two Irvin families in Havenbrook?
He wanted to call his parents, but he felt it would be unnecessary. If his sister got married, she would
definitely tell him. Why bother disturbing his parents because of rumors on the internet?
Furthermore, Cooper knew his sister's personality. She was average-looking, average-bodied, and
besides liking to fight and cause trouble, she had no other talents. Her academic performance was
poor, and she was lazy. She had no other abilities, only eating, sleeping, and playing.
How could Andre, with his eyesight intact, fall in love with her?
Cinderella was chosen by the prince because she was hardworking, intelligent, and kind. His sister, on
the other hand, was lazy, foolish, and willful. How could the prince possibly be interested in her?
In Havenbrook, a certain "visually impaired" CEO began to make out with his wife.
"Honey, if you're holding me, why do you have to kiss me too?"
Mia couldn't push her husband away, and her face and neck were covered with his hot kisses.
Andre's body quickly pressed against Mia's, expressing his love for her in a way that words could not
convey. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Mia was like a doll in Andre's hands as he possessively held his wife, filling her body with his presence
and leaving his mark.
Mia wanted to know more than anyone else why her husband loved her so much, especially in the late
hours of the night.
She was about to start school soon. There wouldn't be many days left to sleep in at home. If they
played too late into the night, she would definitely be sleeping the next morning.
When she woke up to have lunch, she found the dining table filled with nourishing food. "Butler, what's
with all this food?"
The butler appeared and said, "This morning, Andre instructed the kitchen to prepare more nutritious
food for you to replenish your health. He said your hair is falling out too much."
Mia was speechless for a moment. She didn't expect her small incident from last night to be
remembered by her husband. A helpless and happy smile appeared on her face.
Lately, Molly had been thinking about Chad. She wanted to go find him, but Hansen wouldn't allow her
to. "Molly, the police station is Chad's workplace, not his home. Even though Chad dotes on you and
takes you out to play often, it's best not to go all the time. After all, it's his workplace, and if you're there
all the time, his work and personal life will get mixed up, and he won't be able to distinguish between
them.
“If someone in the police force has a problem with your brother, and they complain to their superiors, if
the higher-ups come to investigate, Chad won't be able to escape. He'll have to write reports and face
punishment."
Of course, besides these obvious reasons, Hansen actually didn't want his daughter to have frequent
contact with the son of the Byrne family. They had no blood relation, yet they were always hand in
hand, shopping, eating, watching movies. It was too inappropriate.
