“What kind of magic trick is this?” Another mystery had just popped up.
Mia warned, “Call him by his proper name, not his nickname.”
In the Byrne family’s already joyful living room, the arrival of the little guy sparked even more happiness.
But Molly had to step on a landmine, “Henry.”
The smiling toddler suddenly stopped, his excitement gradually fading as he stared blankly at his aunt holding him.
“Henry?” Molly called out again, testing the waters.
The little one pouted, blinking his bright, clear eyes.
Molly, puzzled, remarked, “Weird, he’s not even crying.”
No sooner had she spoken than the little darling’s lips turned down in a pout, his face crumpling as cries began to spill out.
“Waaah waaah~”
As the child cried, Kendrick looked on amusedly, while Grandma Aubree and Grandpa Elmer watched lovingly, eager to soothe the teary Henry.
Chad, having just ended a call, hurried over to embrace the crying baby, “There, there, tell Uncle, why the tears? Did Molly tease you?”
“Waaah ah ah ah”
Officer Chad was at a loss.
Molly froze, not knowing what to do as the child’s cries escalated.
Now, with the little one inconsolable, refusing even his formula with a frown.
Chad, holding him close, gently patting his back, tried soothing him to no avail.
Nervously biting her nails, Molly sought advice from Mia, busy with classes outside, “Mia, your son’s crying a storm. How do I calm him?”
“Tell him you love him.”
Miss Marlow: “What kind of voodoo is that?”
Still, she told her little nephew, “Henry, your aunt loves you.”
The little one continued to cry, unaffected.
“Mia, it’s not working.”
Mia replied, “Take him to Cedillo Inc., give him to Andre. Nothing else works now.”
Molly: “…” How did soothing a baby become a mission to find Andre at Cedillo Group? She hadn’t forgotten the incident when Leo teased Henry until he cried, resulting in Leo’s car being impounded and painted pink by Andre’s command.
What if Andre found out she was the one who upset him?
Nevertheless, with the child’s heart-wrenching cries, they had no choice but to head to Cedillo Inc., the baby sobbing all the way, lips quivering, heartbreakingly pitiful.
Arriving without an appointment, the receptionist initially refused them entry.
But upon recognizing the president’s precious baby, they were swiftly allowed upstairs.
Mia instructed, “Use Andre’s private elevator.”
Inside Andre’s elevator, Molly, for the first time, clung to Chad’s arm, “Chad, I’m your wife, you’ll protect me, right?”
Chad glanced at her, “Where are we sleeping tonight?”
“Your room!” At this moment, the fear of Andre’s unknown punishment far outweighed any physical discomfort.
Chad, with a chuckle, “Let’s head back early then.”
Stepping out, Andre, from behind his office door, recognized his son’s cries.
Leo, rising to his feet, went to comfort his little brother, “What’s got you so upset?”
