Chapter 1335

When Andre got home and sat down for dinner, it didn't take him long to catch on to his brother-in-law's scheme. With a grin, he reached over to ruffle Mia's hair, watching her get all fired up again. "So, while I'm out, you're trying to run off with my two treasures?" Andre joked.

Cooper nodded without hesitation. "That's exactly my plan, brother-in-law."

Andre chuckled but fixed Cooper with a look. "You know, these two are trouble magnets—one mischief after another, each bigger than the last. When they're with me, I can handle it. But if they go with you, can you really keep up?"

Cooper was sharp enough to know he was being tested. "Come on, with a brother-in-law as legendary as you, even if my sister moved overseas, no one would dare mess with her. Your reputation's got her covered."

Andre couldn't help but laugh. Mia, meanwhile, was chewing her chopsticks, looking back and forth between them. "Babe, Cooper-why do I get the feeling you two are speaking in riddles?"

Henry, knowing full well this was grown-up talk, minded his own business, focusing on his food. Once he was finished, he quietly slipped away to play.

Ever since Henry's last raid on Andre's wine stash, Andre had installed a gate at the basement stairs in Maplewood Estates—just high enough to keep his mischievous son out. Conquering that gate had now become Henry's number one challenge.
