Chapter 252
"My fam''s been all peace and quiet. My daughter-inw might have gotten into some scraps, but she
never raised a hand to us." Hansen said.
Naomi felt guilty, and Miaforted her sister-inw by saying, "Naomi, it''s actually my fault for not
listening to you and heading to the loo. I sneaked off to the banquet hall when you weren''t around."
Naomi grabbed Mia''s hand and said, "Mia, I will never leave you in the lurch ever again."
Mia quickly hugged Naomi and patted her back.
Afterforting Naomi, Mia rushed off to find her parents. She said, "Dad, let me check your back."
Aaron replied, "I''m fine."
Mia said worriedly, "My body crashed into you. You must be hurt." She was already teary-eyed.
Knowing about his father-inw''s condition, Andre said, "I''ll apany you to the restroom to check.
Mia and mom will wait outside."
Mia nodded and pushed her father to follow her husband to the men''s restroom.
Outside, Madison asked her daughter, "Do you have any issues with the Marshal family?"
Mia replied, "Mom, that''s aplicated question. Just remember, we should avoid any dealings with
the Marshal family in the future. They''ve got a lot of issues."
After today, probably most businesses would be hesitant to coborate with the Marshal family. It was
one thing to piss off others, but to dare mess with the Cedillo family? Their business prospects might
be pretty grim.
In no time, Andre and Mia''s father came out. He reassured his wife, "Your dad''s okay."
Mia was still worried, she said, "Mom, Dad, you guys go ahead. Please take Dad to the hospital for a
check-up. What if he''s got internal injuries?"
Andre agreed with his wife''s suggestion. He also asked his inws to leave as soon as possible.
Madison nced at her husband and said, "Alright."
The banquet hadn''t even officially started, so they found someone from the Rayner family, briefly
exined the situation, and then left.
Mia also wanted to go, but as the daughter-inw of the Cedillo family, and it being her first time at
such a banquet, it wouldn''t be appropriate for her to leave midway. So she stood at the door, shivering
in the cold, watching her parents leave for the hospital. She said to her mother, "Mom, remember to
inform me about the results of Dad''s check-up."
Madison replied, "I know, you should go back. It''s too cold out here."
And with that, Madison drove off with her husband.
Mia returned to the hall. This time, Mia''s husband was on her left and her sister-inw on her right. She
felt a bit ufortable, but nobody dared to leave her alone.
Mia''s actions had made her famous in the room. No one dared to strike up a conversation with her on
their own. Even if any of thedies wanted to befriend her, they would have to think twice about
whether it was worth it.
In no time, the banquet hall was bustling again, everyone acting as if nothing had happened. Andre
took out his phone and texted his nephew.
Leo at home, suddenly saw a message from his uncle on his phone: [Follow Brian.]
Then, he immediately dialed Mars'' number, and said, "Mars, it''s Leo."
The banquet hall was still bustling. Harry appeared, and thanked everyone foring to celebrate his
birthday.
Mia''s hand was tightly held by her husband. She was just about to reach for some cookies on the table
when her husband pulled her back abruptly. "Honey, the argument earlier was so intense, I''m
famished." Mia said.
Hearing this, Naomi quickly prepared some food for her. Mia wanted to start eating, but she only had
one hand free, making it a bit difficult. So, Andre let her go, "Just stand beside me and eat."
"Hmm." Mia murmured.
Among all the people, Mia was the one Andre worried about the most.
After she finished eating, as she was walking away to get more food, Andre stretched out his arm,
caught hold of her arm, "What are you up to now?"
Mia sweetly said, "I''m just going to grab some food, not looking for trouble."
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Andre let her go and followed her to the buffet area.
Mia started eating the bread she had picked up, taking a bite, "The matcha vor isn''t good, honey, you
try it."
Andre said, "I don''t want to."
She tried the cookies next, "Too greasy, honey, you try."
Andre said, "I don''t want to."
She saw the cream puffs and reached out to grab one.
Andre said, "Just to be clear, I''m not eating it."
She took a bite, chewed on it, "Hmm, this is really good. I''ll grab a few more for Naomi and Hansen."
When she was enjoying good food, shepletely forgot her husband. Andre felt a bit left out on the
side, but heforted himself that Mia still loved him. She just knew he didn''t like cream puffs.
Mia was about to give the cream puff to Naomi. Suddenly, she noticed that Naomi''s gaze was fixed in a
certain direction. Following her gaze, she saw a familiar man. That man was the one who had taken
Naomi away earlier.
Mia turned her head and asked, "Naomi, who''s that guy?"
Naomi stuttered, "Ah, him. I''ve got some matters to handle. You stay with Andre. Don''t wander off or
get hurt."
She left Mia with Andre and walked towards the man. Mia''s cream puff, which she had prepared for
Naomi, was left uneaten. Naomi didn''t have it, so Mia decided to eat it herself. So, she ate two more
cream puffs.
Looking at the remaining two cream puffs on the te. Mia told herself, "If my dad lies about having a
love rival, I''ll eat all his cream puffs as ''revenge''." She found a perfect excuse and ate without feeling
guilty.
Andre was watching his wife eat all the while. In no time, she had eaten six cream puffs. He watched
his wife, while the people around were secretly watching him. Andre took his wife wherever he went.
Even when his wife was eating a dessert, he had to watch.
"Are you full yet?" He asked.
Mia licked her lips, "Honey, I''ve only eaten sweet stuff, didn''t have anything savoury. I feel like having
something savoury for a change now."
Andre put the te in her hand aside, and took her to the other side.
"Hold on!" Mia stopped her husband. She looked in Naomi''s direction, "That''s Naomi, right?"
Andre took a nce, he knew about the family affairs, and responded, "Don''t worry about it, I''ll take
you to get some yummy food."
Mia was itching to do something when she saw Naomi being bullied. Holy moly, someone was actually
picking on Naomi! She might not have shown her true colors to everyone just yet.
Just as she was about to step in, Andre also noticed Naomi being pped mercilessly by a middle-
aged man. Without a word, he grabbed his wife''s wrist and steered her to a corner, away from the
crowd.
Mia saw Naomi getting hit. She was all set to jump in, her fists clenched tight. But before she could
make a move, her husband had her in a tight hold around her waist.
"Let go of me, I''m gonna stop them. I need to stand up for Naomi. Please, let go of me, I''m going to
punch that guy." Mia struggled ferociously in her husband''s arms.
