Hansen asked, "What's next?"

"But later I thought about marrying someone you love who doesn't love you back. Even if you marry him, he's just going through the motions. You can't escape the trials and tribulations of life. Marrying someone you don't love who loves you is also bad. There must be a reason why you don't love him. Living a lifetime with him would be painful. Thinking about it this way, it's better to find a suitable person." Hansen chuckled. "This generation of young people, they have their own thoughts. They are independent in thought and character. They're much stronger than our generation."

Naomi added, "Times are changing, and there's no harm in them discussing. Molly should look out for her future in-laws, and Leo needs to find a wife. Mia, an experienced one, always has a clear understanding. It would be a good thing for her to talk more with Molly and Leo."

Hansen nodded in agreement.

The discussion only ended when Andre came home that afternoon.

After dinner, Mia, much like a puppy chasing its tail, was orbiting around Andre.

Mia was asking her husband for a favor. "Honey, I'm so bored. I'm stuck at home all day. I want to go out. I've toured every nook and cranny of our house. Please take me out for some fresh air, will you?

"Even a walk around Maplewood Estates would do. I don't want to be locked in at home anymore. Naomi won't let me go out. Dad is worried about me going out. Molly can't drive. You sent Leo away. Cooper isn't at home. You're my only hope. Please take me out. "I'm going mad with all this bed rest. Please, let's get some fresh air."

Andre, dizzy from his wife's relentless circling, wasn't sure if she was feeling the same. "Alright, stop spinning."

Immediately Mia stopped spinning, and collapsed into her husband's arms. All her weight was resting on him. "Honey, take me out for a stroll. I've been indoors for almost ten days now."

Andre tried to negotiate, "I have some work to do today, honey. How about I take you out in a few days? Is that okay?"

Mia knew right away. It was another letdown. She got up from her husband's arms, sighing. "You carry on with your work. I'm going for a walk in the backyard."

Mia felt like she could flatten the backyard grass with all her walking. She even knew how many flowers bloomed in the garden.

The next day, Andre left for work. Mia, bored out of her mind, got the hose and turned on the tap. She didn't care about her big belly, and washed several cars in the house.
