Chapter 27
Andre gave her a frosty look and turned to leave.
Mia and Hansen exchanged a grin. She pointed towards Andre’s retreating figure and said, “I’m off to chase my hubby again.”
With that, she quickly caught up with Andre.
They were murmuring something to each other, too soft for anyone else to hear. Mia’s lips were moving, but Andre was stone-faced, not talking. Even if people tried to listen as much as they could, they couldn’t hear what Mia and Andre were saying.
Hansen watched their retreating figures as he asked the butler, “Did I just get snubbed?”
The butler wisely didn’t answer the question but deftly steered the conversation towards a topic Hansen was more interested in. “Mr. Andre spent the night with Mia last night.”
“What?” Hansen was taken aback, “He spent the night with Mia?”
The butler nodded.
“Oh, now I get it.” Hansen looked in the direction they had left, “No wonder Mia and Andre seemed so close, so that’s the reason.”
The butler thought to himself, Mr. Hansen, I didn’t say anything. It was all your own imagination.
In the dining room, Hansen sat at the head of the table. His gaze frequently landed on Mia and Andre. He watched as Mia kept talking to Andre.
Mia had a deep moral discussion with Andre about how severely those who broke their promises would be condemned. After finishing, she asked, “Andre, did you hear what I just said?”
“Nope.”
Mia whispered, “We had an agreement that we would move out, and you can’t just not keep it because it was verbal.”
Andre replied, “I did promise to move out, but I never agreed when.”
Mia was livid, puffing up like a tiny blowfish. Her eyebrows furrowed and her mouth pouted, her small nose looked like it was about to spout fire.
Andre watched her getting riled up and couldn’t help but laugh.
Hansen’s eyes widened as he looked back and forth between Mia and Andre. Things were progressing so fast?
They just slept together and then…
Mia didn’t know what Hansen was thinking, and she told Andre, “You’ll regret this.”

Chapter 27
Then, Naomi and her husband arrived at the dining room.
The previous harmonious atmosphere instantly disappeared and was replaced by tension.
Yesterday, the butler reminded Hansen, “Sir, you need to treat both daughters-in-law fairly. You’re not only Naomi’s father-in-law, but also Mia’s.”
That made it impossible for Hansen to favor Naomi anymore.
Naomi felt humiliated yesterday, and plus her husband’s reprimand last night, she had an even bigger grudge against Mia.
Mia immediately became wary when she saw her coming because she knew that Naomi would not miss the opportunity to humiliate herself.
Andre smirked, watching the girl beside him gearing up for a fight. Her gaze met Naomi’s head
on.
Bruce, going by the principle of peace, subtly held his wife’s hand under the table, signaling her not to make trouble.
This repression only made Naomi angrier. “Mia, Andre doesn’t love you at all. He’s only in love with Jillian.”
Andre, who was ready to enjoy the show, didn’t expect to be dragged into it. His eyes instantly turned stern, staring at Naomi across the table.
Impulsive Naomi disregarded Bruce’s expression turning visibly gloomier.
