He was showing Mia with his actions just how much he couldn’t stand her.
Right now, in the Cedillo family, her father-in-law had started to despise her, and her husband was giving her the cold shoulder. She sighed tiredly and went back to her new home.
The decorations in the house were nothing short of a mockery to Mia. She tidied up the sofa a bit, didn't touch anything else, and just flopped down on it to rest.
Bruce went back to his room, where his wife Naomi was already in bed. "Naomi, why don't you go keep Mia some company? She just married into our family, and Andre's already giving her the cold shoulder. If word gets out, people will think our family doesn’t know how to treat people properly."
Naomi was never happy with this marriage in the first place. She tried to speak up against it, but nobody in the family listened to her. "She couldn't even keep her own husband. I'm not going."
"Naomi, you're her sister-in-law, and the matriarch of the Cedillo family. You're the best person to go."
"Do you really think she deserves to marry into our family, after all her shameless behavior?" Naomi switched off the light. "Just go to sleep."
That night, Andre drove himself to Maplewood Estates.
Maplewood Estates was his real home. He usually lived alone there, spending less than ten days a year in the old family house.
He wasn't comfortable staying in the old house, so he chose to go back to his own home instead. When he pulled up, he saw a drunk woman sitting at his doorstep, bottle in hand, gazing dazedly at his car lights.
When the car lights went off, Andre stepped out. He walked up to her. "What are you doing here?"
By the time Jillian saw him, she was already crying. "Why, why did you marry her?"
Her tears were rolling down her face, her eyes red and swollen. It looked like she'd been crying for a while.
