Andre gave a sarcastic chuckle, "You're pretty slick, huh? Already calling other guys 'bro'?"

Mia glanced at the contact labeled "Bro" on her phone and said, "Darling, his name is Michael."

"He's a guy." Andre said.

Mia stopped trying to appease her friend and quickly turned around, taking her husband's hand, "Darling, he's just a friend I made recently."

"Already calling a guy you just met 'bro', must've made quite an impression." Andre said.

Mia hurried to calm her jealous husband, "No, no, don't be mad. I'll explain everything when we get home tonight, okay?"

She gently patted her husband's chest.

"I'm not mad." This was his last stand.

Mia played along to save his pride, "Mhm, my bad. You're not mad."

Everyone in the living room watched Mia placate Andre, which was quite a spectacle.

Andre glanced around. He had a hunch that no one believed he wasn't mad.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, dropping the hand that was on his chest, "Stop that, I'm about to burst into laughter." Still, Andre remembered there was a new "bro" in his wife's contacts. After dinner, Mia was dragged by her husband back to their room, "Come here, I need to talk to you."

Mia said, "Can it wait? I'm supposed to play with Molly and Leo soon."

It was their first time spending Christmas together as family members, and they planned to pull an all-nighter. But plans could be shattered in an instant, and Mia was whisked away.
