Mia's smile became even more enchanting, now she really wanted to hug Andre.
Her apple cheeks were full and adorable, making eye contact with Andre. She asked, "Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
"Do I need a reason to be nice to you?" Andre countered.
Mia asked again, "Is it just because I'm your wife? Is there no other reason?"
Andre asked, "What reason do you want?"
Men just don't get what women want to hear. After hearing his response, Mia's smile gradually faded. In the end, she gave a slight smile, saying, "I'm going to take a bath. Thank you for everything you've done for me today."
Andre was puzzled. She seemed to be in a good mood, but after his last question, her smile noticeably decreased, and she even found an excuse to leave.
He wondered, had he said something wrong? In the bathroom, Mia looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling a bit downcast.
These past few days, Jade and Leo kept telling her that Andre was doing all these things because he liked her. She almost believed that reason.
But after she asked, she realized that Andre was being nice to her just because she was his wife, and there was no other reason. It was just because she was lucky enough to be his wife. If someone else married him, he would also treat them the same way.
Feeling disheartened, Mia sighed helplessly, "I'm such a fool, I almost lost sight of reality."
She went to take a bath.
Because she was preoccupied, she soaked in the bath for a long time, which made Andre somewhat worried and almost went into the bathroom to check on her.
Mia said, "I've finished my bath. I'll be out soon."
She came out of the bathroom with a towel, "You can go in and shower now."
Andre saw the droplets of water on her body and her blushing cheeks, and asked, "Did you fall asleep just now?"
"No, I was thinking about things and didn't notice how fast time was flying." After saying that, she picked up a hair dryer and went to the vanity to dry her hair.
Andre looked at her, noticing that she seemed upset. He felt a bit nervous, but couldn't bring himself to voice his concerns.
When he came out of the shower, Mia was already lying on the bed.
"Mia."
"Hmm?" Mia looked at him, "What's up?"
Andre asked, "Are you angry?"
"Why would I be angry?"
Andre shook his head, perhaps he was overthinking.
It wasn't even nine yet, Andre also got into bed.
At this time, the sky outside had just darkened.
Andre was flipping through a book casually, while Mia, lying next to him, didn't even want to glance at her phone.
He naturally sensed her unease.
So, he took the initiative to close the curtains, darkening the room.
"Stop looking at your phone, let's go to sleep." Andre took the phone out of Mia's hand.
He then turned over, reaching across Mia to turn off her bedside lamp, leaving only his own on.
Andre didn't lie down right away, but propped himself up on his arm, leaning over his petite wife.
Mia's heartbeat was racing, last night's scenes instantly flashing in her mind.
