Chapter 145


    Mia also reached out and grabbed two bottles from the drink cab.


    "One for today, one for tomorrow, one for Jade... I can''t forget about Leo... Hansen loves it too... My


    sister-inw needs one too..."


    After doing some math, she was short.


    So, she grabbed another one.


    "One, two, three, four, five, six! Just enough."

    Mia counted, then broke into a satisfied smile.


    When Andre heard her talking like this, he realized she had considered her family and friends too.


    Andre took all the drinks from her arms and put them back in their ce.


    "Huh? Babe, you''re not letting me drink!" Miained.


    Instead, Andre went outside and instructed Alice, "Send two cases of peach-vored drinks to my


    house."


    "Maplewood Estates or Cedillo Mansion?"


    "Cedillo Mansion."


    Mia couldn''t help butugh when she heard her husband was buying her a whole case of drinks. At


    that moment, she really wanted to kiss Andre.


    But she held back!


    Ever since that experience, whenever Mia visited his office, she would pick a drink to put on his desk


    and let him ce the order to be sent to Cedillo Mansion.


    Not only was Mia happy at home, but Hansen was also thrilled.


    He thought Mia was simply amazing.


    Every type of drink was different.


    He even rmended many to his friends.


    "Harry, let me rmend a drink to you! It''s one my daughter-inw rmended. It''s really good."


    "Isaac, did you see the drink I posted on Instagram? It''s really good."


    "Simon,e to my house, I''ll treat you to a drink."


    ...


    But that''s beside the point.


    Currently, the silent treatment between Mia and her husband hadn''tpletely ended.


    When they went out to eat, Mia saw that Andre was behaving well, so she looked at him a bit more


    kindly.


    At this point, even if she tried to pretend to be angry, she couldn''t, so she could only express her


    feelings as she pleased.


    When she first found out about his deception, she was really furious, almost burning down Cedillo


    Mansion in her rage.


    After two days, facing her husband''s constant pampering, she wasn''t really that angry anymore.


    Mia thought she was really great, in looks, as a person, and in personality. Andre was lucky to have


    her.


    After eating, Mia returned home, lost in her self-admiration.


    Hansen warmly weed her return.


    "Why didn''t you call me when you went out yesterday? I wanted to go to the night market with you."


    Mia responded bluntly, "I was angry yesterday. If we took you with us, I would have to take care of you.


    Then I wouldn''t have had a chance to vent my anger."


    Hansen asked, "Are you still angry?"


    Mia nodded, "A little bit."


    Hansen nced at Andre sitting on the sofa, feeling a bit dissatisfied.


    He always felt that Andre wasn''t good enough for Mia.


    Andre sensed Hansen''s resentment. He stood and said, "I''m going to the bedroom."


    Naomi happened toe downstairs. Seeing the couple, she asked, "Is Mia still angry?"


    Andre nodded, "I''ll think of a way to coax her."


    Mia had only been away from home for a day, but it felt like a long time had passed. Everyone was


    fussing over her.


    Mia sat in the middle of the living room, receiving everyone''s concern.


    Leo also came over. Looking at the woman who was treated like a treasure, he felt like Mia had cast a


    spell on their whole family.


    Without a daughter, Naomi often treated Mia like her own. When she had something inappropriate to


    say to a man, she talked to Mia.


    With Mia''spany, she often declined invites from friends outside.


    Even when she did meet up with other friends once in a while, they always wanted her to bring Mia


    along for afternoon tea.


    Naomi had lived in high society for a long time. She knew very well what those women wanted.


    They approached her because her husband was the mayor of Havenbrook and their families needed


    Bruce''s help.


    They wanted to get close to Mia because of her husband Andre.


    Events in thepany, like Austin''s situation and Andre''s partnership with Richard Co., made Mia the


    target of secret investigations by Havenbrook socialites. Many attempted to use their rtionship with


    Naomi to get to Mia.


    Many even hoped to visit Mia at Cedillo Mansion. Naomi declined for her.


    Mia was oblivious to all of this.


    She didn''t think her life had changed at all. The people around her were still the same.


    Once, after Naomi had declined some more invitations for Mia, Bruce asked her, "Aren''t you tired of


    turning down these invites for Mia?"


    Naomi agreed with her husband. "I do feel a bit worn out. But Mia''s still a student. She wouldn''t be able


    to handle those crafty people. If they pressure her too much, she might deal with it in her own way. If I


    don''t help her, who will?"


    Naomi didn''t want Mia''s innocence to be ruined by these people''splex social interactions.


    Bruce asked her again, "Mia needs to grow up. With Andre, she''ll definitely have to attend many social


    events in the future."


    "That depends on how much Andre can handle," Naomi said like a worried mother. "Actually, I do want


    Mia to know what society is really like."


    Bruce was surprised.


    Naomi said, "She was well protected by the Irvin family growing up and only saw the good side of the


    world. Whenever something doesn''t go her way, she thinks confronting it directly will solve it. She''s


    sharp-tongued and has a quick temper, but that''s because shecks experience. People in society are


    not what they seem. Mia is straightforward and simple-minded. What if someone takes advantage of


    that and uses her as a tool?"


    Naomi remembered how she was used by Jillian.


    Blindly trusting someone was dangerous.


    "I hope she''ll be able to tell good people from bad ones in the future, and still stand by her beliefs. I


    hope she can be worldly-wise while remaining innocent."


    Bruce chuckled at his wife, "You''re always looking for trouble. How can you be so sure that Mia is just a


    naive little girl in front of others?"


    Naomi thought Mia was innocent, but Bruce believed that Mia only showed her true self in front of


    family. When she dealt with others, how could such a savvy girl like her be easily fooled?


    As to what Mia''s personality really was, they were still in the dark.


    Hansen didn''t want to delve into this. All he had in mind were the snacks at the night market.


    Andre, on the other hand, gave up trying to figure out Mia''s character. He knew that this little girl would


    always remain a mystery to him.


    She could sweetly call him "honey", but in the next second, she would scold him, calling him "Andre".


    When she praised him, it always made him feel like she was mocking him.


    But when she mocked him, he found it amusing.
