    Mia, all hyped up, said, "You said it yourself! You told me specifically you''re gonna meet with some


    other women this afternoon."


    Andre replied, "I just said that to tick you off."


    "Are you out of your mind?"


    Andre pulled out his phone and showed it to his fuming wife, "Look, did I really call some other


    women?"


    Mia grabbed his phone without any hesitation and started to inspect.


    "Andre, you answered a call from Jillian Marshal!"


    She interrogated loudly.


    Andre rubbed his temples. He silently swore never to make her jealous again.


    Every time she got jealous, the impact was so tremendous that she totally lost her senses.


    "Mia, look closely. She called me, but I didn''t answer."


    Mia nced at it, and indeed, it was true.


    "Isn''t this a female name?" She pointed to another call log and questioned.


    Andre patiently exined, "That''s a specialist. She fixed the device we used today."


    "And this unknown number?"


    Andre continued, "That''s Jillian''s father. He was asking me to forgive Barbara and reinstate her at


    school. I told him it''s my wife who calls the shots at school now, so begging me is pointless. Then, I just


    hung up."


    Mia was still fuming inside.


    She was ready to blow up.


    Hansen also took Andre''s phone and looked it over, but still couldn''t find any loopholes.


    So, he took out his own phone, found Harry''s number, and dialed.


    "Hey, Harry, it''s Hansen."


    "I wanted to ask you something. This afternoon, Andre..."


    The other party said something. Hansen nodded, "Ah, I see. Andre was with you guys all afternoon?


    And the women present?"


    The other party said something else.


    Hansen repeated, "Really, all the women left early? That''s good. Women are generally weaker, should


    go for check-ups earlier. You guys did well."


    Only then did Mia believe Andre didn''t go out fooling around in the afternoon.


    Thinking about how he deliberately pissed her off, she felt like throwing the phone at him.


    "Harry, is this number linked to your Instagram ount? I''ll follow you! We canmunicate online if


    anythinges up."


    "What? You don''t have Instagram? You''re so behind the times! Get your kids to download it for you. My


    daughter-inw helped me set up an ount today, even made a group chat. We can just chat in the


    group if anythinges up. It''s really convenient. And I''m the group admin, I have all the power! You


    should get your kids to set one up for you too."


    Hansen, with his phone, went off to brag about his new social media skills again.


    Bruce, holding Naomi''s hand, signaled for her to leave with him, leaving the ce to the young couple.


    Leo also took the chance to leave.


    Now, the spacious living room was left with just the two of them.


    Mia was sulking, not saying a word.


    Andre got up and walked over to Mia, bending down to hold her hand.


    Mia shook off his hand again.


    Even though he didn''t cheat, he made her jealous on purpose, made her cry all afternoon, and she


    hadn''t gotten her revenge yet.


    They went back to their bedroom.


    Andre only realized then that he had seriously pissed off his wife at noon.


    "Mia, how about I stay home tomorrow and teach you how to drive?"


    "Not interested."


    Andre tried to appease her, "What if I take you to Majestic Dining Enve tomorrow?"


    "You go on your own. Have a st with yourdy friends."


    Andre was speechless.


    Back in the bedroom, Mia went straight to bed. She ignored her husband all night.


    The next day, when Andre wanted to apany her, Mia was nowhere to be found.


    He asked Leo, "Where''s Mia?"


    "She went to yell at you with Jade."


    "Jade Byrne?"


    Leo nodded.


    Whenever Mia had something to vent about, she and Jade could each rant for an hour. After ranting,


    they would feel better.


    Normally, Mia could only vent her dissatisfaction by fighting, but this time, the one who pissed her off


    was her husband. As his wife, she didn''t hold a grudge against him too much.


    In the coffee shop, Mia and Jade were sitting face to face, oneining about her husband, the


    other about her brother.


    Jade said, "My parents went back to their hometown to visit my grandparents, so it''s just me and my


    brother in Havenbrook now. Chad can''t stand a moment without me! Did you know, Mia, if I spend more


    than five minutes in the bathroom, he knocks on the door asking me toe out."


    Mia said, "Chad''s been treating you well. You should be content."


    "But he''s too good to me, it makes me want to run away. When my parents weren''t home before, we


    ate out for every meal. I''ve tried all the restaurants around his police station. Now, he won''t even let me


    visit him at the station. Do you know why?"


    Mia shook her head, "Does he think you''re embarrassing?"


    Jade pped the table, "Because his intern likes me!"


    Hearing this, Mia instantly forgot about being mad at Andre. "Jade, I remember you telling me about


    this. His intern is a handsome young guy, a senior, right? Still an intern?"


    Jade quickly nodded, "You think I should be mad? The guy''s even more handsome than Leo! It’s such


    a great opportunity, but Chad ruined it."


    "You really should be mad. I think I saw him at the police stationst time. He was really handsome,


    seemed gentle and refined. Out of all the cops at the station, he''s the best looking. Honestly, if I weren''t


    married, I''d have Leo get his contact info for me."


    Jade regretted when she thought about it, "Chad threatened him, said if he continued to like me, he''d


    transfer him."


    It''s not easy for Jade to find someone she likes, and it was ruined by her brother.


    Mia said, "Why can''t you date in secret?"


    "How could I date in secret? Are you saying I should deceive Chad and secretly date this guy?"


    Mia nodded, "Exactly."


    "Mia, think about it, what does Chad do for a living? He''s a cop! He has ways to check all my spending


    records, and all the ces I''ve been to. Even if he can''t find them, if he interrogates me like he usually


    does with suspects, I''d spill the beans in less than three minutes."


    Mia said, "Well, if you''re not into him, I''ll be the one to make a move then."


    "Why would you going after him? Take a look at the wedding ring on your finger, remind yourself, you''re


    a married woman."


    "I just want to piss off my husband."


    Feeling sorry for the young stud, Jade tried to talk some sense into her friend. "Cut it out, Mia, give the


    guy a break. It''s already a tough pill for Chad to swallow that I like thatd, if Mr. Cedillo finds out you''re


    into him, this poord will be torn apart by these two men."


    "You''ve got a point there."
