Chapter 824

Henry saw his mom and immediately ditched his tie, his little lips forming a pout as he reached out to her, looking all pitiful like his dad had been giving him a hard time. He whimpered softly, "Momma." Andre loosened his own tie, gave it a quick wrap, and tucked it into his wife's purse. "How about we grab dinner together later?"

"Is that okay?" Mia asked.

Andre nodded.

At lunch, Mia joined her husband and a group of company execs for a meal. She chimed in occasionally, and Andre, being the gentleman he was, always served Mia first before himself.

Henry, holding onto his little snack, was happily munching on his cookies while his parents enjoyed their meal.

The sisters hadn't caught up in days. When the whole family got back to town, they bumped into Jade at the Cedillo family gathering. Mia asked, "What brings you back?"

Molly replied, "Well, thanks to you."

She'd been talking with Chad about how much she loved him and wanted kids. Chad, all fired up, ignored her explanations and even said, "Sleeping in separate rooms doesn't clash with having kids. We can try for a baby first half of the night and then sleep separately." Molly was so mad she could have screamed and came straight back.

"It's been ages since we saw Leo. Before Anya left, she promised to visit her boyfriend more. When are you free? Shall we go together?" Mia asked. "I got a gift for Leo too."

"What did you get him?" Molly asked.

"A leather jacket."

"On behalf of Leo, thanks, seeing as it's scorching hot outside today." Molly chuckled, then asked, "And for me?"

"A down jacket."

Molly teased, "Thank goodness you married Andre from the Cedillo family. If it weren't for the family ties keeping us three together, we'd have drifted apart ages ago."
