Hansen was taken aback. However, he was very clever, and he quickly sensed something was amiss. Given his past unpleasant experiences, he instantly became alert. "Are you trying to set me up?" Mia gave him an innocent look. "Of course not. I just wanted to share my delicious food with you."

Hansen pointed at his own face. "Do I look easy to fool?"

Mia shook her head. "Who could fool you, so wise and insightful? My little tricks are nothing in your eyes."

Hansen fell silent. That was an unexpected compliment.

Soon, Molly appeared, clinging to her dad's arm, showing her loyalty. "Dad, I'll go to dinner with you. Don't worry. With me around, Mia won't be able to set you up."

On Hansen's left was his daughter, and on his right was his daughter-in-law. He quickly turned to his grandson, Leo, who immediately averted his gaze and picked up a vase nearby, pretending to admire it. "Damn it. These three kids are definitely trying to drag me into something!" Hansen thought. He firmly refused, "No eating. No going out. Goodbye." He grabbed his cane and quickly escaped from the dining room. The ever-wise Andre also sensed something fishy. He glanced at his nephew who was talking to a vase, and then looked at the two giggling girls.

Andre narrowed his eyes. His mind was already building defensive walls. "Leo, come with me to the study."

"Leo, come and have dinner with me." Andre had just called his nephew when his little wife immediately tried to snatch him away.

Andre laughed and walked over to Mia. He looked at her cute face, and said, "He's in the way. Molly can accompany you."

Mia shook her head adorably. "No, I want Leo to have dinner with me."

Andre said, "I need to discuss some business with him."

"Isn't accompanying me for dinner important too? What's wrong? Don't you love me anymore? Andre, we've not even been married for a year, but now you're ignoring me for business?" Mia struck first. Andre smiled. Without losing his temper, he compromised, "Alright, let him accompany you. I'll just watch."

Mia replied, "I can't eat with you watching."

Andre had no idea how to reply to that.
