Chapter 424
The butler said, “Mr. Andre seems to have found something. He’s keeping a close watch on Mia.”
Hansen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
These past few days, Mia was grateful for Naomi. Only when Naomi called her to go out would Mia be
free. If it had not been for Naomi having to accompany her husband when he came home in the
evening, Mia would have spent her nights with Naomi, too.
Instead, Andre directly grabbed his young wife by her thin arm and led her back to the master
bedroom.
Mia turned her head, looking back at Naomi with longing. Naomi covered her mouth to stifle a laugh.
She was suddenly needed by her sister-in-law. What was going on at home?
Normally, Mia would joke around with her husband. She would hide, and Andre would seek her out.
Once he found her, she would willingly give him a kiss, adding a bit of spice into Andre’s otherwise dull
life. But when Andre was busy with work, Mia would hardly move around. She knew not to disturb her
husband.
She was very perceptive; she knew when to act playful and cute, and when to be sensible. Of course,
there were times when she would frustrate Andre to the point where he would rub his temples in
exasperation.
“Mia, stop messing around.”
“Mia, behave.”
“Don’t run around. Come here, into my arms.”
“Mia, come here. It’s time for your nap.”
...
Every day, Andre would have a headache. His pregnant wife would run around his desk. If it had not
been for the fact that she was carrying their child, he would have thought of her as a child who never
grew up. She was not looking like she was about to become a mother at all.
Until the time came...
Mia had calculated Holly’s prenatal check-up. It was based on the timing of their previous coincidental
meetings, and the fact that Holly was a few weeks ahead in her pregnancy. Mia was waiting.
After being “escorted” by her husband for three days, Mia started to show a glint of cunning in her eyes. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
In the office, Mia finished her cup of water and looked at her husband who was engrossed in his work.
She got up, held her empty cup, straightened her back and walked out of the office in front of her
husband.
Andre had gotten used to Mia’s presence in his office, and her occasional trips to the pantry to sneak
some snacks. So, this time, he didn’t pay much attention to her leaving.
Once Mia left, she headed straight for the elevator. Instead of taking her husband’s private lift, she took
the staff elevator downstairs.
Leo’s car was already waiting at the entrance. Soon, a pregnant lady who had narrowly escaped
detection hopped in. Curious, Leo asked, “How did you manage to escape my uncle’s all-seeing eyes?”
Mia replied, “Just hurry up and drive before I’m found out.”
Leo drove to the Chade Inc. building, picked up Molly, and headed west. On the way, Mia got off the car
to buy something. When she got back into the car, she looked at Molly, who was clearly nervous. She
handed the item she bought to Molly. “Here, this will give you some courage.”
Molly looked at the item. It was a small knife. She looked at Mia. “I feel safer with you holding it. Don’t
get out of the car unless I call you. If anything goes wrong, Leo, you drive away with her immediately.”
Leo tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “If you say that again, I’m turning around and going back.”
Neither of the girls responded.
In the CEO’s office at Cedillo Inc., Andre was halfway through his work when he suddenly felt like
something was missing. He looked up and saw the messy pillows scattered on the sofa, but the person
who was supposed to be there was nowhere to be found!
He got up and walked out of his office.
At the maternity hospital parking lot.
A luxury car pulled up. Leo unbuckled his seatbelt and turned to look at the two girls in the back seat.
“I’m going to the restroom. I’ll be right back. The AC is on, so don’t get out of the car.” After saying that,
Leo left with his phone.
Mia looked around and then turned to look at Molly who had been quiet the whole trip. “Nervous?”
“Not nervous, just worried.”
Mia said, “Gambling is like that. You’re worried about losing before you start, but if you don’t gamble,
you’ll regret it. What if you win?”
Molly took a deep breath and looked at Mia. She had a lot to say, but she knew that it would be
pointless to say it.
Not long after, Leo returned. He got into the car. Mia noticed that he was sweating. She quickly handed
him a piece of tissue. “Did you use a lot of energy going to the restroom? You’re sweating buckets.”
As they were about to get out, suddenly, another car pulled up not far away. The people who got out of
the car were none other than Holly and Tom.
“Is that him?”
“It’s him!”
“It’s her!”
The three of them exclaimed in unison.
Their tones were different, and the people they were surprised about were different, but they were
surprisingly unanimous in the car.
Leo was the one questioning. He was surprised to see Tom. So this man was Tom. Molly had met Tom
before. She was certain when she saw him get out of the car. And Mia was certain that the pregnant
woman was Holly.
After that, the three of them looked at each other.
Molly pushed the door open and got out of the car. “Don’t move unless I call you!” she said before
running off.
“Molly, don’t be so reckless. Come back,” Mia called out in a low voice.
Molly ran up to Tom and Holly.
Leo muttered, “Oh no.”
He also opened the car door to get out, but Mia immediately stopped him. “Don’t move!”
Molly was feeling hot and agitated due to the heat. She was feeling restless. She blocked Tom and
Holly’s path in the boiling hot parking lot. She glanced at Holly, then at her belly, and finally looked at
Tom. “Do you remember me?”
Holly looked at the stranger who seemed vaguely familiar. “Have I met you before?”
Tom knew that Holly was referring to the incident at the hospital when he had secretly spied on Molly.
The way he looked at Molly was not right. He was worried that Holly would ruin things, and also that
she would find out things she shouldn’t know. “You go into the hospital first. I’ll be right there.”
Holly looked at Tom, then at Molly, and then entered the hospital with a puzzled expression.
In the car, Leo was so nervous that his sweat was falling on his phone screen. “Mia, stay in the car and
don’t move.” He saw Tom facing his aunt with a clenched fist, abd Leo’s heart was racing.
Mia saw where Tom was standing. If she walked into the hospital from the main entrance, she would
definitely be caught by Tom. She had to take the side route. Mia asked Leo, “Where’s the side door?”
Leo said, “I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? Then how did you go to the restroom earlier?” She didn’t see him go in through the
main entrance.
Leo didn’t say anything.
“So you didn’t go to the restroom?!” Mia glanced at him as he remained silent, deducing his actions in
an instant.
“You’ve gone and tipped off my husband and Chad, haven’t you?”
Mia’s intuition was on point, once again. She’d been missing for a good while, but her husband hadn’t
called her even once. That clearly indicated he already had a lead on her whereabouts.
Leo was honest. He confessed, “If I can fight as well as you do, I won’t tell him.”
