Andre pulled out his phone and called Patrick, the Vice President at Hernandez Group.

In the bathroom, Mia was giving Henry a bath. The little guy just couldn't stop talking, filling her in on every detail of his day.

"Who gave you that red envelope, sweetheart?"

"My godfather did." Henry stretched out his tiny feet so Mia could scrub them, then let her bundle him up in a towel and carry him out.

Mia teased him, "Oh yeah? Who was doing all the cuddling?"

"Oh, godfather did-again and again. But Daddy didn't~" Henry stuck out his lip, looking tragically wronged that his dad hadn't hugged him today.

Mia got the hint, carried him to his bedroom, and dabbed his cheeks with his favorite lotion. “So all your godfathers showered you with cuddles, but Andre— such a big meanie-didn't hug my sweet boy?"
