Deep down, she didn't want to stop looking, she was just afraid of what she might find.

As she knocked on the door, the sound of people inside sent her body into shivers. What if she made it to the hotel, and actually found Andre?

So, Mia decided to call off the search.

All Leo could do was drive her back home.

As soon as they reached home, Naomi was there to greet them.

"Mia, I've been looking all over for you."

Mia asked with a lack of enthusiasm, "What's up?"

"Nothing really. Andre thought you might get bored this afternoon, so he asked me to take you out for some shopping. The weather's about to get cold." Naomi cared for Mia like a mother. She glanced at Mia's dress, "It's already autumn, you'll catch a cold in that dress. We should get some thicker clothes."

Mia shook her head, weakly saying, "You go ahead. I'm heading back."

With that, Mia ascended the stairs, looking as if she had lost her soul.

Back in her room, she locked the door and began crying into her pillow.

By the time evening came, Andre was still nowhere to be seen.

Later, Mia was pulled out by Leo to watch TV in the living room.

Naomi noticed her unusual behavior and reminded Leo not to let Mia stay cooped up in her room alone.

Mia kept her eyes on the door. Bruce Cedillo had already returned home, but Andre's car was still missing. "Leo, help me move this table."

Mia stood up and led Leo to the storage room, where they found an old table and carried it out.

Leo asked, "Where do you want it?"

"Block the door with it."

Mia used a long table to barricade the entrance to the Cedillo Mansion.

Then, she disappeared for a bit and came back with a spray bottle.

"What's this...?" Leo asked, confused.

Mia didn't explain. Then she went to the bathroom.
