Deep down, she didn't want to stop looking, she was just afraid of what she might find.
As she knocked on the door, the sound of people inside sent her body into shivers. What if she made it to the hotel, and actually found Andre?
So, Mia decided to call off the search.
All Leo could do was drive her back home.
As soon as they reached home, Naomi was there to greet them.
"Mia, I've been looking all over for you."
Mia asked with a lack of enthusiasm, "What's up?"
"Nothing really. Andre thought you might get bored this afternoon, so he asked me to take you out for some shopping. The weather's about to get cold." Naomi cared for Mia like a mother. She glanced at Mia's dress, "It's already autumn, you'll catch a cold in that dress. We should get some thicker clothes."
Mia shook her head, weakly saying, "You go ahead. I'm heading back."
With that, Mia ascended the stairs, looking as if she had lost her soul.
Back in her room, she locked the door and began crying into her pillow.
By the time evening came, Andre was still nowhere to be seen.
Later, Mia was pulled out by Leo to watch TV in the living room.
Naomi noticed her unusual behavior and reminded Leo not to let Mia stay cooped up in her room alone.
Mia kept her eyes on the door. Bruce Cedillo had already returned home, but Andre's car was still missing.
"Leo, help me move this table."
Mia stood up and led Leo to the storage room, where they found an old table and carried it out.
Leo asked, "Where do you want it?"
"Block the door with it."
Mia used a long table to barricade the entrance to the Cedillo Mansion.
Then, she disappeared for a bit and came back with a spray bottle.
"What's this...?" Leo asked, confused.
Mia didn't explain. Then she went to the bathroom.
When she came out, she was holding a bottle of toilet cleaner.
Then she disappeared again. When she returned, she had a bottle of bleach in her hands.
Naomi was puzzled, Leo was shocked. Bruce was busy with Hansen, studying Instagram. Seeing Mia like this, he was also very curious.
What on earth was happening?
Only when Andre returned home at eight did they realize the extent of this little girl's temper.
As soon as he reached the door, he found it blocked. He couldn't get in.
Mia started to spray him with the disinfectant from the bottle she was holding.
"Mia, why are you spraying me with alcohol?"
Andre covered his face. He smelled the strong scent of alcohol and asked her.
Mia said coldly, "Disinfection."
She then took out the toilet cleaner and squirted it on Andre.
"Stop! Mia, enough! What are you doing?"
Mia said, "The first was disinfection. This is sterilization."
And it wasn't over yet.
Andre saw the bottle of bleach on the table next to her.
Seeing Mia out of control, Leo and Naomi immediately stepped in to stop her. Naomi grabbed the toilet cleaner from her hand and held her, "Mia, tell me, what happened? Why are you so angry?"
Leo quickly moved the table blocking the door to let Andre in.
He whispered to Andre, "You're in trouble. She's been looking for you all afternoon."
Andre entered the room. He was about to scold his irresponsible wife, but the sight of her teary eyes and the tears on her face softened his heart.
"Mia, come here."
Mia broke free from Naomi's embrace. She walked quickly to the table, picked up the bleach bottle, and prepared to pour it on Andre.
