Mia wanted to speak up, but was afraid of causing a fuss in the Byrne family. Because Jade was Mia's close friend without any blood relation, she couldn't overstep her boundaries. She felt guilty today for taking advantage of Jade's good nature. "Hey, Jade, I'm not eating anymore. My husband is almost here. I'm going to wait for him at the door. You two carry on."

After heading downstairs, Mia prepared to leave.

Jade and Chad wanted to see her off.

Mia stood at the door for a moment, and Andre came driving up. He got what Mia was aiming for. Having him pick her up was actually to let him see Jade in person, to rid him of his ideas about Jade. He appreciated his wife's gesture and personally came over. "My husband's here, I gotta split."

Andre parked the car, got out, and saw the girl who was as tall as Mia, with a similar physique, and Chad, whom he had met a few times.

He walked up and shook hands with Chad. "Hey, I'm Mia's husband, Andre."

"Nice to meet you. As a citizen of Eldoria, who wouldn't know Mr. Cedillo. I'm the captain of the public security bureau, Chad."

The two shook hands, Mia felt an odd tension in the air. She quickly diverted her husband's attention, pointing to Jade, "Honey, this is me and Leo's best friend, Jade."

Having been caught by him before, she shot Andre an awkward glance, then edged a bit closer to Chad, looking somewhat scared.

Andre looked at her but said nothing.

"I'm here to pick up Mia, so we'll get going and see you around." His face was calm, as if he was really meeting Jade for the first time.

Chad nodded, he and Jade watched as the car drove off. Once it was gone, he furrowed his brows, sensing a hint of danger. He turned to glance at Jade, "Jade, come inside with me." "Okay."

On the way home, Mia asked her husband, "Did you notice anything?"

Andre didn't share his thoughts with her. Instead, he gave her the answer she wanted to hear, "No."

In the following days, in order to help clear her friend of suspicion and to help her husband face reality, Mia put in a lot of effort. She often visited the Byrne family.
