Half an hour later, Andre showed up in the Irvin family's living room.

He sat face to face with Cooper, with Mia sticking close to him, taking the initiative to place her hand in his.

Cooper was seriously ticked off by his sister's behavior. A woman who, during her nighttime stroll, either sought hugs or kisses from men, was now acting all lovey-dovey with Andre in front of their parents.

She was even reaching out to hold his hand now. Didn't she realize it made her come off as overly eager?

"Cooper, he's your brother-in-law,. Show some respect. I am his wife, if you two butt heads, I am gonna side with him." Mia tried to put on a tough front to intimidate her little brother, but her tone gave away her genuine concern for his feelings.

Andre wasn't peeved by Cooper's attitude. After all, his hostility was due to his deep affection for his sister. He initially felt a bit uncomfortable, but then he figured that if someone were to marry Molly, he'd probably react the same way as a protective older brother. He understood Cooper's actions, so he simply waited for him to accept him.

Mia snuggled up to her husband, holding his hand with one hand and his arm with the other, all the while giving Cooper meaningful glances.

Seeing his sister fawning over Andre, Cooper pointed at Mia and said, "Dumbass."

Before Cooper came back, Mia was the one who could call others names, but after her brother's return, she became the one getting called names.

Mia retorted, "You can call me names, but not my husband."
