Chapter 1749

The three of them lay down together-Mia resting her head on her husband's arm, one hand across his chest, and her leg thrown comfortably over him. She let out a contented sigh and said, "Babe, let me tell you a little secret. Milka said that even if her parents don't end up together, she's still going to be with Mars. She used to want to fix things for her parents before making things official with Mars, but now, after giving it her all, she realized there's no reason for her and Mars to suffer for her parents' choices."

Andre grinned. "If she's thought it through, why didn't she just say yes sooner?"

Mia chuckled. "Honey, imagine if you and I were in love, and right when we're talking marriage, my family runs into some drama. Would I just marry you and ignore my family's mess? Or drag you into it and make you help me fix it? Or would I handle it all myself first, and then marry you once everything's settled?”

Andre paused, lost in thought.

Between them, their little tiger cub Henry blinked his big eyes, soaking in every word-even if he didn't fully get it.

Mia went on, "If I picked the first two, I'd always feel like I'm somehow less than you. Only if I fixed things myself would I feel like we're truly equals."

Andre shrugged. "I doubt Mars cares about any of that."

"But Milka does," Mia said. "Even though Mars ended up getting dragged in anyway. She feels a bit guilty, so now she's basically planning to spend the rest of her life with him to make up for it."

Andre hugged the two soft little lumps in his arms and said quietly, "If you ever have something you can't fix..."

"I'll come find my husband first!" Mia cut in cheerfully before he could finish.

Andre finally relaxed and nodded. "That's my girl."
