Chapter 32
Andre was tiptoeing around, his shoes making no sound as he moved. He sat down on the sofa and listened in silence to Mia’s conversation with her family.
“My husband? He’s really good to me. Just today, he told me that if I ever get bored at home, I could go out shopping. He was supposed to pick me up after work, but I couldn’t wait and just
left.
“Hansen is also really good to me. He always looks out for me, knowing that I’m new to the family and might feel out of place. He’s been taking care of me in many ways. He even thought of hiring several ser vants for me because he thought I might have trouble adjusting to the new lifestyle, but I found it too bothersome and turned him down.
“My sister-in-law may sound harsh, but she’s actually really good to me. There are many rules in the Cedillo family and I’m grateful to her for teaching me. But I’m not one to follow rules, so I often upset her. But she understands that I’m new to this family, so she only complains occasionally about me not listening to her, and then it’s no big deal. She’s been showing me around and helping me get familiar with the family.
“I haven’t spent much time with Andre’s older brother. He’s usually very busy and rarely at home. We only see each other at meal times. He doesn’t talk much and seems serious, but he’s actually very kind-hearted. Mom and dad, don’t worry, I’m doing fine here. There’s no need for you to worry too much. You can take some time to visit my brother abroad, and I’ll come home to see you in a few days.”
Andre listened as Mia spoke highly of every member of his family, and he felt a wave of shame like never before.
A man nearing thirty bullying a girl who just turned twenty. He was ashamed of his own actions and couldn’t believe how his family had behaved.
Mia chatted a bit more with her parents before hanging up. Then, she opened the curtains and stepped out. The sudden appearance of a man on the couch startled her, “When did you get back?”
“Just now.”
Andre looked at Mia’s face and found himself unable to scold her. He had also watched the
video and knew the whole story.
He had even copied the video to his phone. He got up, walked over to Mia, and handed her his phone, “You can see for yourself what really happened. It’s not like she said. She did disrespect your parents, but she didn’t insult them or order anyone to kick them out.”
Mia didn’t watch the video. She looked up at Andre, anger flashing in her eyes. “Are you defending her? Are you choosing to protect her?”
“There’s no need for me to do that. You’re my wife. If I were to protect anyone, it should be you.” Andre took Mia’s hand and placed his phone in her palm, “But you need to know the truth.”

Chapter 32
Mia placed the phone on the windowsill. Holding Andre’s phone, she hit the play button.
Naomi left the Cedillo family in tears. As she stepped out of their gate and saw that her husband didn’t chase after her, her anger grew even more!
It was all Mia’s fault! If it wasn’t for her, she wouldn’t have been scolded by Hansen and kicked out of the house.
She checked her phone and saw Jillian’s contact. A plan formed in Naomi’s mind as she considered Jillian’s relationship with Andre. She made up her mind.
If Mia didn’t let her live in peace, she wouldn’t give Mia the satisfaction either!
Soon, Jillian drove over to pick her up. When she saw Naomi getting out of the car, her eyes lit
up and she exclaimed in surprise, “Naomi, what happened? Did that woman Mia bully you again?”
