Chapter 32


    Andre was tiptoeing around, his shoes making no sound as he moved. He sat down on the sofa and


    listened in silence to Mia’s conversation with her family.


    “My husband? He’s really good to me. Just today, he told me that if I ever get bored at home, I could go


    out shopping. He was supposed to pick me up after work, but I couldn’t wait and just


    left.


    “Hansen is also really good to me. He always looks out for me, knowing that I’m new to the family and


    might feel out of ce. He’s been taking care of me in many ways. He even thought of hiring several


    ser vants for me because he thought I might have trouble adjusting to the new lifestyle, but I found it


    too bothersome and turned him down.


    “My sister-inw may sound harsh, but she’s actually really good to me. There are many rules in the


    Cedillo family and I’m grateful to her for teaching me. But I’m not one to follow rules, so I often upset


    her. But she understands that I’m new to this family, so she onlyins asionally about me not


    listening to her, and then it’s no big deal. She’s been showing me around and helping me get familiar


    with the family.


    “I haven’t spent much time with Andre’s older brother. He’s usually very busy and rarely at home. We

    only see each other at meal times. He doesn’t talk much and seems serious, but he’s actually very


    kind-hearted. Mom and dad, don’t worry, I’m doing fine here. There’s no need for you to worry too


    much. You can take some time to visit my brother abroad, and I’lle home to see you in a few


    days.”


    Andre listened as Mia spoke highly of every member of his family, and he felt a wave of shame like


    never before.


    A man nearing thirty bullying a girl who just turned twenty. He was ashamed of his own actions and


    couldn’t believe how his family had behaved.


    Mia chatted a bit more with her parents before hanging up. Then, she opened the curtains and stepped


    out. The sudden appearance of a man on the couch startled her, “When did you get back?”


    “Just now.”


    Andre looked at Mia’s face and found himself unable to scold her. He had also watched the


    video and knew the whole story.


    He had even copied the video to his phone. He got up, walked over to Mia, and handed her his phone,


    “You can see for yourself what really happened. It’s not like she said. She did disrespect your parents,


    but she didn’t insult them or order anyone to kick them out.”


    Mia didn’t watch the video. She looked up at Andre, anger shing in her eyes. “Are you defending


    her? Are you choosing to protect her?”


    “There’s no need for me to do that. You’re my wife. If I were to protect anyone, it should be you.” Andre


    took Mia’s hand and ced his phone in her palm, “But you need to know the truth.”

    Mia ced the phone on the windowsill. Holding Andre’s phone, she hit the y button.


    Naomi left the Cedillo family in tears. As she stepped out of their gate and saw that her husband didn’t


    chase after her, her anger grew even more!


    It was all Mia’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have been scolded by Hansen and kicked out of


    the house.


    She checked her phone and saw Jillian’s contact. A n formed in Naomi’s mind as she considered


    Jillian’s rtionship with Andre. She made up her mind.


    If Mia didn’t let her live in peace, she wouldn’t give Mia the satisfaction either!


    Soon, Jillian drove over to pick her up. When she saw Naomi getting out of the car, her eyes lit


    up and she eximed in surprise, “Naomi, what happened? Did that woman Mia bully you again?”
