Andre nodded. He followed her into the office. “Mrs. Byrne is not feeling well?”
Coleen replied curtly, “Just a minor ailment.”
She went on, “Andre, I called you here because I thought you might have some news about Chad. I
haven’t been able to reach him lately and I was hoping you might have heard something. I didn’t dare
to ask anyone else, but I know you have your connections, your influence...” Coleen thought of the
person Andre had been looking for at the office earlier. She knew that the power of the Cedillo family
extended far beyond just one empire.
“Andre, what’s going on with Chad? If he’s in trouble, I hope you can help him out, for the sake of our
past friendship with Molly. Chad has a strong sense of justice and doesn’t fear stepping on powerful
toes. He’s been working on a case recently that involves a lot of parties and I’m worried it might be too
much for him to handle. Andre, you’ve achieved your current position and success through careful
planning and strategy. If Chad had even half of your abilities, I wouldn’t be so worried.”
Every mother loves her child. Coleen was a rational woman, and she was also a clear-sighted one. She
was always worried about her son, but she couldn’t ask anyone about him for fear of affecting his
situation. Today, seeing Andre, she couldn’t help but ask for his help.
Andre looked at Coleen. Her motherly love was apparent. She was nothing like Cecilia. “Coleen, don’t
worry. Chad is fine. He’s just helping with a case and no one is giving him trouble. You need to have
faith in your son. Chad is not as helpless as you seem to think.”
If he was just an ordinary man, he wouldn’t be able to rise to the position of squadron leader at such a
young age.
Looking at Coleen’s haggard face, Andre added, “Many of the older leaders are watching Chad closely,
observing him. If he solves this case, his future... You know what I mean.”
Coleen relaxed a little. “Thank you, Andre.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. Chad and his friend have been busy lately. If you need any help at
home, just give me a call.”
Coleen felt a warmth spread in her heart. She remembered she had kneeled before him, pleading with
him. How cold and unfeeling he had been! Now, he was filled with kindness and warmth.
“About Ashford Inc., you won’t go easy on them, will you?” Coleen asked.
“That’s something I was going to tell you about,” Andre replied. “Chade Inc. is continuing to grow
steadily. Do not interfere in their affairs. It won’t do you any good to get a bad reputation.”
Andre didn’t disclose his plans, and no one could guess what they might be.
Coleen nodded. “Thank you, Andre.”
Andre stood up. “Coleen, your health is your capital. If you lose it, everything else will be futile.”
Coleen was silent.
Andre walked past her and out of the office, seeking his wife and sister.
“Honey, where are you?” Andre’s arm was wrapped by his petite wife.
On his other side, his sister also grabbed his arm. “Andre, how did you deal with them?”
Andre led his family away. “Let’s start thinking about what to order at Majestic Dining Enclave.”
On the way, Mia suddenly remembered. “Honey, don’t you have a business meeting?”
Andre said, “Oh, I declined.”
“Do you have anything in the afternoon?” she asked.
Andre replied, “I have a meeting in the afternoon.”
“What about tomorrow?”
Andre said, “I have to go out for an inspection tomorrow.”
“And the day after tomorrow, you’ll have time, right?”
“The day after tomorrow I’ll accompany you for your prenatal checkup.”
Molly didn’t understand her brother’s predicament. She said bluntly, “Mia, why do I feel like Andre is
avoiding you?”
Andre was speechless. Mia pursed her lips, thinking.
The midday city was so hot that the ground was steaming. As the car passed, a gust of hot wind blew.
Inside the car, Andre smiled slightly. Home, he felt, was pure bliss.
Later, Mia went home and never set foot in the kitchen again. Hansen took a deep breath and felt like
he could live a few more years. Naomi also breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost decided to join a
tour group to escape for a few days.
Andre asked his darling, “Why don’t you like cooking anymore?” Did his evasion hurt his little wife’s
feelings?
He added, “Your cooking is really delicious.”
Mia smiled sweetly. “A great chef can’t be cooking every day. My skills are too great to be wasted, so
unless there’s a special occasion, I won’t be cooking.”
Andre looked at her. Sometimes his little wife was too smart. He even wondered if she knew her
cooking was bad, and that was why she stopped cooking. He just looked at her for a moment before
Mia leaned over to kiss him. “Honey, I want to see the domineering CEO. You play him.”
Andre said, “I suddenly remember, I still have work. You go to sleep first.”
“I’ll go to the study to watch the domineering CEO at work.”
Andre immediately picked up his petite wife, and tucked her into bed. “I’ll show you the domineering
husband right now.”
He tucked her in, took her phone away, and turned on some light music. “Sleep.”
Mia’s eyes curved into a smile. Her pupils were shining like glass orbs. She raised her head and kissed
Andre. Then she quickly let go. “See that? That’s what being domineering is.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Andre chuckled. Before Mia could react, he pulled her in for another kiss.
Andre would show her what it meant to be domineering.
“Um, no, um, don’t kiss me anymore...”
Andre didn’t listen.
“Honey, I, I was wrong. Don’t, um...”
Cecilia was sentenced. Molly was surprised. She quickly called Mia. “Mia,Chad didn’t teach me that
verbal abuse could get you sentenced.”
Mia, who was taking calcium tablets, chewed loudly. “Didn’t you want her to go to jail? So, she did.”
“Oh my god. Is my Andre really that powerful?”
Not long after, when she tried to steal another tablet, Naomi took them away. New chąpter avąilable oո

“Naomi.”
Naomi said, “This is calcium. You’ve eaten enough. Get up and move around. I’ll accompany you
outside for a walk.”
Mia felt as if her entire family was more worried about her pregnancy than she was.
Chad, after being away for nearly two weeks, had finally returned home. It was days before Molly’s new
semester.
Chad chuckled and replied, “Nope, it’s from my little princess at home.”
And so, Chad dialed his mother’s number.
