"Brian's restricting Leo's freedom, he could also..." Molly spilled all the beans about her actions to her parents.
After hearing, Coleen didn't blame her, just said, "Let's eat, the food is getting cold."
Molly picked up her utensils and started eating nervously.
At the Cedillo family.
Andre returned home. He walked in and asked Leo who was on the couch, "Where's Mia?"
"In the bedroom waiting for you." Leo said.
Andre, slinging his trench coat over his arm, went upstairs to the bedroom.
Inside, Mia had already washed up and was snuggled in bed, watching a TV show on her tablet.
Andre casually flung his clothes onto the back of the couch, and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife.
"Did you watch the news today?" Andre asked.
Mia closed her tablet and set it on the quilt, sticking out her tongue and asked, "What's up?"
"Was it you?" Andre asked.
Mia said, "How could I possibly do it all by myself? I had two accomplices, your sister and your nephew." She unhesitatingly ratted out her two buddies.
Andre's face was unreadable, and Mia didn't know if what she had done had caused trouble for her husband.
She got out of bed, kneeling on it, and moved to her husband's back. She wrapped her arms around Andre’s neck, cheek to cheek with him, and asked softly, "Honey, did I do something wrong?"
Her flirting tone nearly made Andre lose control. He feigned anger, scolding his wife, "You've really made a mess today. With business matters, if I really wanted to ruin him, I have plenty of ways. Why did you have to offend such a worthless person? What if he takes revenge on you when I'm not home?"
After her husband finished speaking, Mia quickly planted a kiss on his face. Then, she gently rubbed her hand over Andre’s chest, trying to soothe his anger, "Honey, don't be mad. I'm Mrs. Cedillo. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
She realized that the reason her husband was angry was that she had made an enemy. He was just worried about her safety. "I can fight, Molly can run and Leo can take it. Don't worry about us."
Andre spoke words of intimacy with his wife, "Next time you can learn from Molly. Deal with him behind his back. For example, this time, I'm not worried about Molly's safety. Brian doesn't know it was Molly who called the cops on him, but he knows that the ones who recorded the video were you and Leo. If Leo gets beaten up, I don't care. But what if he hires someone to hurt you?"
Mia said, "Honey, I can fight too, remember?"
"Can you fight ten people?" Andre asked.
"Sure." Mia said.
Mr. Cedillo was speechless. He was at his wit's end!
Mia was afraid that she was too good at fighting and might scare her husband. She hurriedly corrected herself, "No, no, I can't beat that many people."
Andre looked at Mia, who was trying to hide her strength; she might not know that he was the puppeteer behind her.
Andre gently moved Mia from behind him to his lap. Mia sat on Andre's lap, being held in his arms.
Andre looked at her, his heart filled with tenderness. "Mia, you have to be obedient in the future, okay?"
Mia nodded, not daring to make a sound.
