They arrived in the Cedillo family's living room and happened to run into Leo, who was searching for Molly.

Upon seeing the coat on Molly's back, he wisely chose to make himself scarce.

Molly, with Chad in tow, stepped into the room.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

Mia turned her head, and shocked to find out that Molly had found a supporter.

After sitting in the Cedillo family's living room for five minutes, Molly spilled the beans about what had happened in the afternoon.

Mia added, "We didn't mean to keep it from you, but we knew you'd sneak some bites, and if my husband found out tonight, we'd be in hot water. Molly and I were planning to have it tomorrow morning when my husband isn't home. Me, Molly, Dad, Leo, each of us would have a pack. But after I bought it, before I could even take a bite, you finished them all."

The person who sneakily ate them had a sore mouth and felt guilty inside.

At that moment, he was cooling down with ice cubes, sipping water, slowly easing the burning sensation.

Hansen retorted, "You stashed this stuff in my bedroom, even blocking my light, I was bound to find out. If you had told me upfront, would I have sneaked a bite?"

Leo responded, "You make it sound so easy, remember last time when Andre told you not to eat the ice cream, who ended up in the hospital after sneaking some? We did this to prevent you from doing it again."

"Shut up! It has nothing to do with you, what do you have to say?" Hansen questioned his grandson.

Leo tapped the table, "Well, you're right, this mess ain't on me, Andre is my witness this time."

Hansen retorted, "Don't push your luck, I don't like you, I'd whack you with my cane."

Leo pointed at his grandfather and said to Andre, "Andre, grandpa's speech is clear, not stuttering, looks like he's better now, you should teach him a lesson about sneaking food." Hansen turned around, glaring at Andre, "If you dare teach me a lesson, your wife, your sister, they'll pay the price."

If he was to be punished, let them be punished together, at least they'd have company.
