Chapter 31

Andre had been hustling and bustling out there for years. Only this time, because of getting married, he decided to hang around the house a bit more.

Though he was rarely home, his temperament and personality were an open book to the house staff.

They all knew he was as cold as ice, stern as a judge, and hard as nails. Nobody could sway him or change his mind. Even when Hansen at home said something, Andre wouldn’t listen.

Leo was usually the big cheese at home, but in front of Andre, he was as meek as a kitten and as docile as a house dog.
