School just let out, and Mia immediately tossed all her things aside, dashing out to greet her husband. "Babe, I told you not to drop me off this morning, and now you're here to pick me up? Missing me much?"

Andre had caught on to Mia's way of sweet-talking and was now using it on her. "I couldn't stop thinking about you at work. I was so distracted during meetings, so I had to come early to pick you up."

Mia was all smiles but still scolded her husband, "You can't do that, you need to focus on your work or your company will go bankrupt because you're always thinking about me."

Andre asked her, "Did you just run out without packing your books?"

"Yep, Jade and Leo will help me."

Just then, Jade and Leo came out carrying a heap of books. Andre went to take the books, but Mia beat him to it. His hand awkwardly retracted mid-air.

He glanced at Jade's arm and casually asked, "Do you have any scars on your arm?"

Mia immediately went on alert, her smile fading as she looked at her husband and asked, "Darling?"

Andre replied, "Just asking."

From her husband's words and actions, she understood his meaning. Her smile disappeared, her face turning serious. Her usually vibrant face now turned stern.

Jade sensed something was off, and awkwardly laughed, "No."

Mia pointed to her own arm, jealously saying, "You never ask me about scars."

Andre replied, "I see your arms and legs every day, I know better than anyone if you have any scars."

Silence fell upon everyone present. Mr. Cedillo's words always left room for imagination. Mia blushed, thinking her husband's words were too direct and might give her friends the wrong impression. Yet, she did indeed expose her arms and legs in front of her husband every night. She wanted to object, but was at a loss of words.

Soon after, Chad arrived.
