Chapter 198


    Mia was peering at a photo of Andre''s mom, with nothing but darkness outside and dim light inside the


    room. Normally, this ce would give her the creeps, but with her hubby around, she ain''t afraid of


    nothing.


    A little pot stood before a rug, and Andre opened up a piece of paper with test results on it. He lit it up


    without a second thought.

    Mia piped up, "Honey, what about your dad and Bruce seeing this after you burned it?"


    Andre nced at his cute wife and asked, "Mia, are you scared of my mom''s photo?"


    Mia took another look at the picture of the woman, who wore a kind smile. She shook her head,


    "Maybe she knows I''m your wife and won''t scare me."


    "Can you stay with me here tonight then?" Andre asked.


    Mia nodded. She didn''t want to leave her hubby alone in this dark room.


    The test results were now ashes.


    Holding his wife''s hand, Andre addressed the photo, "Mom, we found Molly. It''s all thanks to my wife."


    Mia shook her head, shying away from the praise, "It''s not me. It''s your son''s persistence. I even


    argued with him at first. But, as it turns out, he was right all along."


    "Without Mia, I wouldn''t have found Molly." Andre said, looking at his wife who was kneeling beside


    him, "Without Mia, I wouldn''t have got these test results so soon."


    Mia hung her head, slightly guilty. If she had listened to Andre earlier and didn''t make things difficult,


    they might have got the results even sooner.


    "You don''t have to worry about Jade. She''s never suffered. The Byrnes have always treated her like a


    treasure. I''ve known Jade and Leo since middle school." Mia recalled Leo, the unlucky guy at the


    hospital, saying, "For Leo, this situation is a double-edged sword. He only has two good friends. One is


    me, now his family; the other is Jade, also his family."


    Both Jade and she had be family to Leo. Apparently, it was all written in the stars. They were


    meant to be family.


    "Maybe it''s you, watching us from heaven and making all these coincidences happen, right? You saw


    me, liked me, and arranged for me to be good friends with your daughter and grandson. Then you


    saw your son alone and found him a wife in me. You''re so smart. My husband is great, but he''s a bit


    cold-hearted. And look at me, here to warm his heart. Although we''ve never met, I can feel that you


    would have liked me. Since you like me so much, you wouldn''t mind me sitting on the floor and talking


    to you, right?" Mia said.


    Mia rubbed her knees. She had been kneeling for quite a while and her legs were getting numb. Andre


    noticed and helped her up, "If you can''t kneel anymore, then don''t. Mom won''t be mad."


    Mia finally stood up, relieving her sore knees. But standing for too long would also tire her out. So, she


    sat on the rug, legs crossed, leaning against Andre''s arm and resting on his shoulder. Slowly, she fell


    asleep, like a little kitten curled up on her husband''sp.


    In the dark room, Andre finally felt guilt-free and less lonely in front of his mom''s photo.


    "Mom, I found Molly. I finallye to visit you without any guilt. Mia is such a lively, smart, and


    adorable girl. With her by my side, I don''t feel lonely anymore. I''ve been searching for Molly for fifteen


    years, and she''s been my rock for those years. But now, it’s time for a change." Andre said, gently


    stroking the cheek of the sleeping Mia.


    In the middle of the night, a sleeping Mia was carried back to the bedroom. When she woke up, she


    found herself on the bed.


    "Huh? Wasn''t I chatting with Andre and his momst night?" Mia was confused.


    She noticed that her clothes had been changed. No doubt, that must be the work of Andre, always


    taking advantage of her.


    As she was about to get out of bed, Andre walked in, "You''re awake."


    "Yeah, when did you bring me back?" Mia asked.


    "Late at night. I think my mom might''ve been worried you''d get cold, so she told me to bring you back."


    Andre said.


    With Molly found, Andre seemed more rxed. He said to his wife on the bed, "Mia, you''re my lucky


    charm."


    Mia joked back, "Sweetie, don''t praise me too much. I''m afraid I might mess up and get you mad, then


    I''ll just be a pain in your ass instead of your lucky charm."


    Andre said, "I won''t be."


    "Don''t speak too soon. I can''t even control my own faults." Mia said.


    Andre was speechless.


    Having found his sister, Mia asked her husband while brushing her teeth in the morning, "Sweetie, are


    you going to acknowledge Jade as your sister?"


    Andre still had a lot to figure out. But now that he had found his sister, he felt at peace. If he hastily


    acknowledged Jade as his sister, he was afraid it would shock her.


    Andre had also be more calm, "Jade, can you take me to the Byrne''s?"


    "Sure, no problem." Mia said.


    After getting ready, Mia grabbed her backpack and headed off to school. Seeing Jade again, Mia


    realized her feelings for Jade were deeper than just friendship. Turned out, Jade was actually her


    husband''s sister.


    She propped her face on her hand, staring at this disabled girl.


    "Why are you staring at me?" Jade asked.


    Mia said, "Can you believe the crazy twist of fate between the three of us?"


    "Can you be more specific?" Jade asked.


    Mia shook her head, deciding not to say more.


    This time, she wasn''t trying to hide anything. It was just that her husband had asked her not to mention


    this to Jade in the morning, fearing it might shock her.


    For some reason, ever since Mia found out that Jade was her husband''s sister, the winter weather


    seemed as warm as summer. She had a durian cake for lunch, and a can of Surstr?mming for


    afternoon snack.


    Jade said, "Mia, did something good happen? You''re eating so much strong-vored food today."


    "Yes, we''re celebrating at my house." Mia said, taking another bite of her snack.


    A car came to pick her up, it was Andre''s Rolls-Royce GHOST. Jade''s ride was here too, Chad''s Land


    Rover. This time, the four of them met. Andre looked at Jade without asking too much. His eyes were


    full of tenderness, the kind of care a big brother has for his little sister, "What happened to your foot?"


    Jade, seeing Andre smiling at her, somehow didn''t feel scared anymore, "I twisted it when I was going


    down the stairs."


    "Be more careful next time, watch your step." Andre cautioned.


    Jade nced at Mia, who just nodded, then Chad helped her into the car.


    Mia told her husband, "Don''t you worry, darling. Jade''s your sister now, I''ll definitely take good care of


    her."


    Andre slightly turned his head, looking at his wife, "Oh, I didn''t know my Mia could take care of people."
