Chapter 907

Mia was deeply engrossed in her legal textbooks, a slight frown on her face. "I've just got to put up with it, unless he wants to start sleeping in a separate room," she muttered under her breath. Andre's voice echoed in her mind, "He'd feel so wronged if that happened."

With a decisive snap, Mia shut the book. "Well, let him feel wronged," she thought. "If any of my classmates find out I'm married to Andre, my peaceful days in this grad school prep class would be history. They'd definitely sniff out where I study and find ways to enroll their kids, trying to get chummy with me. That would completely throw me off my game this year."

Molly, her best friend, couldn't help but chuckle in admiration. "Mia, you're so sharp to think of all that."

Mia was still lost in thought when Andre appeared, cradling their son. "Molly, let's leave Mia to her studies. She needs to focus."

Molly had barely left when Henry started bawling, "Mama."

Sure enough, Henry got scolded again, this time for interrupting his mom's study session.

Eventually, Henry was taken outside to cry, since his tears in the living room would still distract Mia.

The Cedillo family was all in, fully supporting Mia's studies. Naomi reassured her, "Mia, just concentrate on your studies. I've got the kids covered. You won't have to lift a finger."

Hansen, ever the proud dad, declared, "Mia, focus on your exam prep. With me around, you've got all the backup you need."

Even before Mia took her exams, Hansen was already bragging to anyone who'd listen-cousins, aunts, family friends-they all heard about his pride. "My daughter-in-law, the younger Mrs. Cedillo, is gearing up for her grad exams. We're so proud of her." Later, Mia had a quiet chat with her father-in-law. "Dad, could you not brag about it? It'd be so embarrassing if I don't pass this year."

Hansen waved her concerns away. "Even if you don't make it, you're still the best in my book. But I have to brag. They should know my daughter-in-law isn't just a housewife. My Mia's got ambition, she's still hitting the books."

A warm feeling spread through Mia. "Thanks, Dad."

"Ah, you silly girl," Hansen's tenderness lasted all of three seconds before he switched gears. "Mia, I'm really craving some lobster."
