Hansen was taken aback. However, he was very clever, and he quickly sensed something was amiss. Given his past unpleasant experiences, he instantly became alert. “Are you trying to set me up?”
Mia gave him an innocent look. “Of course not. I just wanted to share my delicious food with you.”
Hansen pointed at his own face. “Do I look easy to fool?”
Mia shook her head. “Who could fool you, so wise and insightful? My little tricks are nothing in your eyes.”
Hansen fell silent. That was an unexpected compliment.
Soon, Molly appeared, clinging to her dad’s arm, showing her loyalty. “Dad, I’ll go to dinner with you. Don’t worry. With me around, Mia won’t be able to set you up.”
On Hansen’s left was his daughter, and on his right was his daughter-in-law. He quickly turned to his grandson, Leo, who immediately averted his gaze and picked up a vase nearby, pretending to admire it.
“Damn it. These three kids are definitely trying to drag me into something!” Hansen thought. He firmly refused, “No eating. No going out. Goodbye.” He grabbed his cane and quickly escaped from the dining room.
The ever-wise Andre also sensed something fishy. He glanced at his nephew who was talking to a vase, and then looked at the two giggling girls.
Andre narrowed his eyes. His mind was already building defensive walls. “Leo, come with me to the study.”
“Leo, come and have dinner with me.” Andre had just called his nephew when his little wife immediately tried to snatch him away.
Andre laughed and walked over to Mia. He looked at her cute face, and said, “He’s in the way. Molly can accompany you.”
Mia shook her head adorably. “No, I want Leo to have dinner with me.”
Andre said, “I need to discuss some business with him.”
“Isn’t accompanying me for dinner important too? What’s wrong? Don’t you love me anymore? Andre, we’ve not even been married for a year, but now you’re ignoring me for business?” Mia struck first.
Andre smiled. Without losing his temper, he compromised, “Alright, let him accompany you. I’ll just watch.”
Mia replied, “I can’t eat with you watching.”
Andre had no idea how to reply to that.
Leo and Molly both secretly gave Mia a thumbs up, praising her for her audacity.
Once you compromise once, there will be a second time. As Andre left the dining room, his gaze fell oppressively on his nephew. He instructed, “Come to the study later!”
Leo weakly responded, “Okay.”
After Andre left, Mia peered at her husband till he was out of sight. She heaved a sigh of relief, and then beckoned Molly and Leo to quickly come in.
“Mia, you’re definitely spoiled. If I were to post a video of Andre just now, it would definitely shock everyone.” Molly said after sitting down, “Andre is such a domineering figure in the business world, but he always backs down in front of you.”
Mia took a deep breath. “My heart was also pounding just now, but we can’t lose our momentum, right?”
Leo was the most awkward one. His uncle loved his wife, and pampered his sister, but would beat his nephew!
Mia turned to Leo. “I asked you to stay because I know you can’t keep a secret. As soon as your uncle intimidates you, you spill everything. Our plans would be ruined before they are even carried out.”
Leo said, “But I still have to go to my uncle’s study later. I can’t avoid it forever.”
Mia replied, “I’ll figure something out.”
Molly thought of her father’s alertness just now and said, “Why isn’t our dad being naive anymore?”
Mia was really hungry, so she started eating as soon as she saw the food. She scooped a spoonful of nourishing soup, blew it cool, and drank it. “He’s been fooled too many times, so he’s got clever now.”
Chad thought there was a new development in the investigation when he received the call, but he was reminded by Andre. “You should keep an eye on Molly. Don’t let her disappear under your watch.”
Chad slowly closed the file in his hand.
In the study, a certain Mia’s gaze was wandering around. Andre glanced at his wife who came to act cute, and said to Chad, “I’ll keep an eye on my wife here.”
He hung up the phone.
Andre said, “You have to stay with me lately.”
Mia answered, “But you still have to go to work.”
“You can accompany me to the office.”
“But you have your social obligations.”
“I’ll cancel them.”
“So, are you saying I should follow you to the restroom as well?”
A vein pulsed ominously at Andre’s temple. “Yes!”
Mia’s inner voice: Oh no!
The butler hadn’t even started to investigate yet when Mia was restrained by Andre. Wherever he went, she must follow. Molly was swift, a perfect inheritor of her father’s speed. Leo had disappeared again.
Upon hearing this, Hansen slapped his thigh regretfully in his bedroom. “I should have gone there earlier, and set a trap within a trap for them.”
