Chapter 230


    They arrived in the Cedillo family''s living room and happened to run into Leo, who was searching for


    Molly.


    Upon seeing the coat on Molly''s back, he wisely chose to make himself scarce.


    Molly, with Chad in tow, stepped into the room.


    "Dad, I''m sorry."


    Mia turned her head, and shocked to find out that Molly had found a supporter.


    After sitting in the Cedillo family''s living room for five minutes, Molly spilled the beans about what had


    happened in the afternoon.


    Mia added, "We didn''t mean to keep it from you, but we knew you''d sneak some bites, and if my


    husband found out tonight, we''d be in hot water. Molly and I were nning to have it tomorrow morning


    when my husband isn''t home. Me, Molly, Dad, Leo, each of us would have a pack. But after I bought it,


    before I could even take a bite, you finished them all."


    The person who sneakily ate them had a sore mouth and felt guilty inside.


    At that moment, he was cooling down with ice cubes, sipping water, slowly easing the burning


    sensation.


    Hansen retorted, "You stashed this stuff in my bedroom, even blocking my light, I was bound to find


    out. If you had told me upfront, would I have sneaked a bite?"


    Leo responded, "You make it sound so easy, rememberst time when Andre told you not to eat the ice


    cream, who ended up in the hospital after sneaking some? We did this to prevent you from doing it


    again."


    "Shut up! It has nothing to do with you, what do you have to say?" Hansen questioned his grandson.


    Leo tapped the table, "Well, you''re right, this mess ain''t on me, Andre is my witness this time."


    Hansen retorted, "Don''t push your luck, I don''t like you, I''d whack you with my cane."


    Leo pointed at his grandfather and said to Andre, "Andre, grandpa''s speech is clear, not stuttering,


    looks like he''s better now, you should teach him a lesson about sneaking food."


    Hansen turned around, ring at Andre, "If you dare teach me a lesson, your wife, your sister, they''ll


    pay the price."


    If he was to be punished, let them be punished together, at least they''d havepany.


    Mia was staring at her own toes. Molly who found a supporter was hiding behind her clothes.


    Chad took a call at the Cedillo''s, and he was needed back.


    But Molly had messed up as soon as she got home, even though they were her family, she still felt


    guilty, she chose to hide when faced with problems she''d rather not confront.


    "Brother."


    Her voice was pleading, Chad knew what she wanted as soon as he heard it.


    So Chad took Molly''s hand, turned to Hansen and asked, "Hansen, my grandparents are missing Jade


    too, could I take her back with me for the night?"


    Hansen nced at his daughter, he knew what was really going on. They didn''t really miss her, she just


    wanted to escape the embarrassment of dealing with her own problems.


    "Why are you asking me, it''s not up to me, Molly can go wherever she wants."


    Hearing this, Molly felt even more guilty.


    She went upstairs to change, took off Chad''s coat, and followed him out.


    Chad took Molly and headed to the police station. In the car, Molly rolled down the window, letting the


    cold air in. She held her temples with one hand, elbow resting on the window, she turned to her brother


    and asked, "Do you think I''ve disappointed dad?"


    Chad responded, "Hmm."


    Molly was silent for a while.


    She had hoped for some reassurance from her brother, but it seemed like she would have tofort


    herself.


    When they arrived at the police station, Molly realized that her grandparents'' concern was all an act,


    just an excuse for Chad to take her away.


    Chad let her into his office, "If you''re tired, you can rest on the couch for a bit, I''ll leave the coat here for


    you, if you''re cold, cover yourself."


    Molly nodded, and picking up her brother''s coat.


    Chad was about to leave when he remembered something, he turned around and told his sister,


    "Donnie has a girlfriend now, try to avoid him as much as possible."


    Molly thought to herself: So that was why my brother had been letting mee to the station to see


    himtely, because Donnie had a girlfriend now.


    With Molly sorted, Mia''s problems were just getting started.


    Hansen was sent back to his room to rest, Mia was ushered back to her bedroom by her husband.


    Mia was adamant about dragging Leo back with her.


    Leo shouted in fear, "Mia, we''re not close, don''t drag me into your punishment!"


    Mia replied, "I thought we were friends."


    "We''re not friends, I''m your enemy." Leo shook off her hand on his arm, then deliberately shoved Mia


    into her husband''s arms.


    Mia still wouldn''t give up, "Leo, help me out this once."


    "I''m not your savior, I only care about myself. If you''re in trouble, I can rest easy."


    Mia pointed at Leo, her eyes warning him.


    Then she was led back to her bedroom by her husband.


    Once the door was closed, Andre told her, "Stand still."


    Mia immediately stood up straight.


    She scolded Leo for being timid in front of her husband, thinking she was an exception and not afraid of


    Andre.


    But her actions just now made her feel embarrassed.


    "Is there something you want to say?" Andre gave her a chance.


    Mia nodded, "Yes."


    Then they stared at each other.


    Andre was almost driven mad by Mia, "if you have something to say, just say it, why are you looking at


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    me? Do you need time to prepare?"


    Mia asked again, "Darling, can I speak now?"


    Andre''s anger made his heart race. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat and restore it to


    normal. Then he nodded and said, "Go on."


    "Darling, I love you."


    "I don''t want to hear that."


    Mia thought about thest time, when she did something wrong and was forgiven by her husband after


    saying "I love you" while being held in his arms, she wanted to try again, "Darling, I love you, I love you


    like I love life, I will always love you, no matter when or where."


    Andre was now frozen in ce, his reaction was drastically different from thest time he heard "I love


    you".


    Mia started to wonder, could it be that she had said "I love you" too many times every night in bed, and


    he was used to it?


    "Continue, why did you stop?" Mr. Cedillo clearly hadn''t had enough.


    Mia nced at her husband''s expression.


    Oh man, he was still not cheered up.


    Andre went on, "You''ve got a way with words. How about I ship you off to the debate team, and make a


    debater out of you?"


    Mia shook her head, "If I be a debater, I won''t have time to be with you, darling."


    "I don''t need yourpany. I''ll be just fine without you around."
