Chapter 839

Annie couldn't help but get curious about Mia. Back in Newtown, she'd heard Conner speculating about Mrs. Cedillo. "I can't believe Mia's just a pretty face without some serious skills; otherwise, she wouldn't have snagged Andre. My buddy, he's not one to go for looks

alone," Conner had said.

Annie chimed in, "But even he can't resist a second glance at someone attractive."

Conner nodded in agreement, "But Andre isn't the type to settle down just because someone's pretty. Mia must have something special that won him over."

What that special something was, though, remained a mystery they all pondered.

Then, out of nowhere, Andre announced he was going to be a dad, leaving Conner in a bit of disbelief and even a tad depressed. The Andre who seemed immune to worldly ties had suddenly tied the knot and, just like that, announced he was becoming a father. Not long after, he announced his child's birth. The once-thought eternal bachelor CEO was now a dedicated dad.

With Conner going on about her, Annie's curiosity about the elusive Mrs. Cedillo grew.

"Easton, if Mrs. Cedillo ever needs to drop by the police station, give me a heads-up, okay?"

Easton quickly interrupted, "You'd better not jinx it."

Annie looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Easton replied, "I'm just worried you might bring us some bad luck."

...

When they got to the station, Easton told Annie to head back. "I'm gonna swing by next door; Officer Chad probably hasn't heard about his factory." Annie nodded and headed out.

Meanwhile, Chad was on the trail of a suspicious person, ready to take action when he spotted Easton, who rarely visited. "What's up?" "Your factory's on fire."
