Chapter 106
Worried that he might come home late and not be able to see clearly inside, the light at the entrance was left on
The bedside lamp was on too.
The beauty on the bed was bathed in a warm yellow light, an air of gentleness and sweetness hovering about her.
Andre opened a package and took out a bracelet, placing it on his wife’s wrist.
The woman, deep in her dreams, didn’t notice a thing.
He climbed into bed, cuddled up to his sweet–smelling wife, and drifted off to sleep.
The next day.
Dawn broke
Mia woke up to find herself alone.
She suspected that her husband hadn’t come home last night. Just as she was about to go mad, she noticed the telltale signs of sleep on his pillow.
Her anger fizzled out instantly.
She buried her face in her husband’s pillow and took a whiff and thought to herself. Hmmm, so he was horne last night.
“Smell anything?” The man leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, grinned at his wife, who was busy sniffing his pillow.
“Sure did, my hubby was home last night” Mia put down his pillow and got out of bed.
Suddenly, something unusual on her wrist caught her eye.
Mia raised her hand and saw the bracelet she’d been wanting
“The ‘Sparkling Bloom by Alexander!” Her eyes lit up as she excitedly said the name of the bracelet.
Andre was smiling. Looks like his wife really loved those things.
“Do you like it?”
Mia nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at food. “Love it, really do! But it’s too expensive, I couldn’t bear to buy it.”
“Haven’t I told you? If you want something, buy it. If you’re reluctant to spend, I’ll pay
“Even luxury goods?”
Andre nodded.
Mia, delighted, flung herself into her husband’s arms, hugging his waist and burying her face in his chest, expressing her joy.
Andre patted her on the head, a satisfied smile on his face.
In the morning, while Mia was washing up, Andre said: “The employee who got told off yesterday had a special circumstance.”
“What was it?”
Andre told his wife about Austin’s family situation. “Do you have any good solutions to help him?”
Mia, brushing her teeth, paused and frowned. “I don’t.”
She quickly finished washing up and headed out to tell her husband, “Complicated family matters are for him to deal with. If his wife ran away, let the police catch her. If his mom had a stroke, let a doctor save her. If his daughter’s gone off the rails, it’s his fault as a father. We, bystanders, can’t help. But,” she added, grinning at her husband.
“Spit it out.”
Mia said, “My husband might be able to help.”
“Oh?” He was interested in hearing what his wife had to say.
Mia tugged at his hand and cooed, “Hmm- If you could give him some time off, he might be able to handle his home affairs more efficiently. When a person is in a state of grief, they can’t work efficiently. His body’s at work but his mind’s at home. If that’s the case, he can’t manage both.
If you give him a few days off to focus on his family matters, he won’t mess up at work and you won’t get mad. Then you’ll still be my gentle husband.
Besides, he’ll have enough energy and time to deal with his family problems. Once that’s done, he can devote himself to work.
Furthermore, the employees at Cedillo Inc. know that you are a great leader who care about his employees‘ lives. You would even give them time off. They all respect you and are proud to have such a leader.”
Andre asked, “So are you going to introduce yourself as my niece or my wife when you’re at the company?”
“I’d definitely introduce myself as your wife.”
Andre gently stroked Mia’s head and leaned down to kiss her lips. “We’ll do as you say
Mia’s face instantly turned red. She was having trouble explaining to Andre!
They were often intimate. If this kept up, she’d really become his wife.
“Tell him I’m your wife, not your niece, when you see him today Don’t let people misunderstand-”
Andre lightly pinched his wife’s nose. “Aren’t you the one causing the misunderstanding?”
Pouting, Mia complained, “Hmph, I was just mad for a moment yesterday.”
Whenever she acted cute, Andre felt that she was the most wronged.
“Alright, there’s one more thing you need to decide on.”
“What else could I decide? Tell me, hubby.” Mia asked excitedly.
Without realizing it, she was back in his arms
Andre told her in detail about what had happened yesterday. “Whether we cooperate or not is entirely up to you.”
“What?”
This cooperation was worth at least several billion. He was just going to let her decide like that?
Andre didn’t pressure her. He explained, “Even if we don’t cooperate with Richard Co., there are other companies that would want to partner with the Cedillo Group. So, you don’t need to feel pressured when making a decision.”
“Honey, what would you do if you were in my shoes?”
Andre: “Based on my own thoughts, I’d choose not to cooperate. A person who can’t manage a company only shows that they’re incapable. I won’t sympathize with him. I’ll only maximize my own profits”
Out of curiosity, Mia asked, “Why did you let me decide then? Haven’t you already made up your mind?”
Andre gently stroked his wife’s hair. “Just for fun.”
Mia was confused. She asked again. “What if my decision goes against yours?” She explained, “That vice president is too bad. He doesn’t know how to fight fairly. He even uses some dirty tricks. He took advantage of my dad and you. He definitely has character issues.
Compared to him, I think Mr. Richard’s ability might be a bit lacking, but at least he has good character. It’s safer to work with him. Let’s just cooperate
with him.”
Andre knew. Whenever he asked his wife, he would never be disappointed.
“Have the lawyer send the contract today” He stroked her hair.
She was petite and delicate, like a child who hadn’t grown up in his eyes.
Mia still had the bracelet he had given her on her wrist. She felt she needed to respond.
So, before they went downstairs for breakfast, she tiptoed over, gave her husband a quick peck on the cheek; and ran off.
Only a smiling man was left in the room.
When people were in love, they were always in a good mood.
At Havenbrook University classroom.
Before they left in the morning, Andre took her water bottle and looked at the picture on it and said, “This cat looks familiar.”
“Do you have a cat?” Leo asked.
Andre looked at his wife beside him and said, “Like the one in my arms.
