Chapter 227


    "Hey Chad, you can''t think like that. I''ve got my own life goals too, you know? Besides, even though


    power can be tempting, I''ve never seen any other women''s contact info on our dad''s phone. If power


    was that tempting, you wouldn''t have any female friends around you, right?


    To be honest, it varies from person to person. My future husband doesn''t need to meet any other


    standards, he just needs to be handsome, upright, love me, spoil me, and be taller than me. Even if


    he''s from a poor family, I''m not scared, as long as there are no difficult rtives, I can ept it. It would


    be best if he''s a good student, that way he can help me with my homework that I don''t want to do."


    However, her brother taught her a reality check. "Even good students can turn out to be murderers.


    Last year, I took over a case where a student studying abroad came back home, suspected his wife


    was cheating on him, then made a homemade murder weapon and killed his wife. Although we''ve


    caught him, he knows the loopholes in thew so well that we haven''t been able to convict him yet."


    Molly: "Chad, the way you''re saying this ispletely against me! Are you suggesting I should marry a


    fool then?"


    Their mother, Coleen, intervened in their argument,ughing as she said, "Your brother is just


    concerned that you''re still young and might have overly romanticized notions about love. Don''t argue


    with your brother, he was supposed to work the night shift today, but he came back especially for you."


    After hearing her mother''s words, Molly was touched. She felt she had been too unfriendly to her


    brother, so she sat next to him, took Chad''s arm, and said affectionately, "Chad, don''t worry, I''ll


    definitely take your advice when I get married. I won''t marry anyone you''re worried about."


    "What if the man is someone picked by the Cedillo family, you won''t marry him?"


    "Chad, you''re overthinking it. Hansen and my two brothers all hope that I never get married. They won''t


    let me."


    Chad: "That''s a coincidence, I feel the same way."


    Molly was speechless.


    Guess she would just be a nun and live in a convent!


    Molly''s term paper waspleted with the help of her mother, so her final grade ended up being an A.


    Then, it was almost time for vacation.


    They went shopping together. Mia strictly followed her husband''s words, either get reimbursed or use


    his card, but never spend her own money.


    They prepared for the wonderful week ahead.


    They also went to the grocery store.


    During leisure time and when in a good mood, people always wanted to do something exciting to spice


    up their dull life.


    When they saw the hot and spicy ramen, they both stopped.


    Looking at the fiery red packaging, it was double spicy ramen.


    Mia couldn''t take her eyes off the package, "Hansen probably hasn''t eaten this, right?"


    Molly also said, "I bet Andre has never heard of this kind of ramen either."


    The two looked at each other, then couldn''t help reaching out.


    After paying, they carried their stuff home.


    "Hide it in your room, Andre won''t go in your room."


    Molly: "What if Andre finds out, will he punish me?"


    Miaforted her, "Don''t worry, he won''t go into your bedroom, he knows you''ve grown up and need


    your own private space."


    Molly felt that her friendship with Mia was like a counterfeit product, when it came down to it, no one


    would help the other.


    At the moment, she spoke with certainty, when she was searching the room, she encountered


    difficulties.


    "Or." Molly''s words trailed off.


    The darned telepathy, Mia seemed to know what her friend was about to say.

    She asked cautiously, "Isn''t this a bit hical?"


    Molly responded, "I''m not sure if it''s hical, but I know it''s definitely not filial."


    When Hansen saw the two girlse back, he excitedly came over to check what they had bought.


    Mia and Molly immediately stood side by side, hiding the things in their hands behind them.


    They didn''t want Hansen to see.


    "Dad, we didn''t buy anything."


    "What are you hiding behind you?" Hansen''s gazes were sharp, he saw that these two were up to no


    good. Or maybe they were up to something good, but didn''t want him to know.


    "Stick out your hands, let me see."


    Mia signaled Molly to leave first, and she stayed to stall Hansen.


    Molly winked, establishing cooperation with her friend.


    "Dad,e, let me show you the good thing I bought, it''s really good." Mia stepped forward, coaxing


    Hansen, pulling him away.


    Hansen turned his head back to see his daughter running away.


    Mia pulled him to look at other novel and interesting things. "Dad, don''t look at Molly, she''s just going to


    change clothes in her room."


    Hansen responded: I don''t believe it.


    Molly ran upstairs, she quietly entered Hansen''s bedroom.


    Once inside, she took out the super spicy ramen hidden behind her back and looked around for the


    best ce to hide it.


    There was no suitable ce above, below, left, or right.


    "Should I try the closet? No, what if dad finds it when he''s changing clothes?"


    Molly kicked the bed with her foot, "That won''t work either, it''s not hollow underneath."


    Hiding it in the drawer was too easy.


    Where should she hide it?


    Molly looked up and saw the ceiling light.


    It was empty inside.


    Molly moved a stool and stood on it, and she secretly pushed the super spicy ramen into it.


    Standing below, Molly apuded her own cleverness.


    Then she walked out of the room and ran into the butler halfway.


    "Miss Molly?"


    "Butler?"


    They met.


    The butler looked at the room behind her, wasn''t that Hansen''s room?


    Without blinking an eye, Molly lied, "I came to talk to dad about something, but found he wasn''t in the


    room, I''ll go look for him."


    After speaking, she calmly walked with the butler.


    She saw Hansen in the living room being dragged by Mia, she said, "Well, I found him, I''ll go find my


    dad first, you can go back to your things, Butler."


    After walking past the butler, she immediately let out a relieved breath, feeling guilty.


    Her performance just now made her heart race.


    After going downstairs, Hansen saw that his daughter hadn''t changed clothes.


    "Didn''t your friend say you went to change clothes?"


    Mia rubbed her head speechlessly. This old man''s memory was something else.


    Molly immediately understood Mia''s meaning, "I was going to change, but then I thought, nah, I feel like


    I look pretty good in what I''m wearing right now."


    Mia sat next to Hansen, both of them sitting quietly in the living room.


    Before long, Andre came home, looking bone-chilled.


    His coat felt damp to the touch.


    "What have you been up to today?" Andre asked casually.


    Mia answered honestly, "I went shopping."


    She sped her hands behind her back, looking like the epitome of obedience as she watched her


    husband who had juste home.


    Andre walked over and asked, "Did you get into any trouble today?"


    Mia replied, “No!"


    Andre joked, "You''re not usually this well-behaved."


    He said it lightly, but his words struck Mia''s heart.


    Molly, on the other hand, was unusually quiet.


    "Honey, where''s Leo?" Mia asked her husband.


    She hadn''t seen Leo since he came home today.


    Normally, Leo would be lounging on the couch, but the couch was empty today.


    After asking Hansen, she learned that Leo had been called away by Andre with a single phone call.
