In the past, Andre used to drink to drown his sorrows, but now he could only drink coffee to calm his irritability. "If I had held her a little tighter, Molly wouldn't have gone missing, and mom wouldn't have died. My family wouldn't have fallen apart." Andre had been kicking himself for fifteen years over this. He lost his sister over his nephew, and his mother passed away out of anger.

Seeing his father in a funk, he felt like he couldn't face him, and he moved out from the Cedillo Mansion as early as possible.

Bruce already had his own family. He didn't want to be a burden to him.

Just like that, since the age of 13, he had been living alone in the desolate Maplewood Estates.

Conner knew that the pain in Andre's heart couldn't be washed away with just a few words. Nobody could fathom the pain he was feeling.

Andre's friends all had a thought in their hearts, but nobody dared to voice it out to him.

One time, Asher asked, "Could Molly have died? Maybe your dad didn't want to upset you, so he didn't tell you. Otherwise, why wouldn't he continue looking for her?"

Upon hearing this, Andre and Asher had a brawl.

After that, nobody dared to tell Andre that Molly might be dead.

However, all four of his friends believed that Molly was probably dead.

Only Andre was still holding on.

Conner sighed in his heart. He continued to have coffee with Andre.

They drank so much coffee during the day that they couldn't sleep at night.

Andre didn't mind the sleeplessness, as he could chat with his Kittemia.

Conner, on the other hand, couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, thinking, "Did Andre play me?"

But he was the one who drank the coffee, not Andre forcing him. He could only continue to be sleepless.

In the bedroom of Cedillo Mansion, Mia was having a video chat with Andre while applying a face mask, "Honey, Leo teased me, saying that I would give you my dark circles as a surprise when you come back. I punched him." Andre laughed and said, "Good punch."

Mia laughed, and the face mask became deformed.

She looked more like a kitten.

She complained, "Honey, don't talk! Just look at me. Otherwise, I'll laugh when I see you, and then my face mask will deform."

Mr. Cedillo watched his adorable wife take care of her skin.

"What are those two sticks?"

"Beauty sticks."

Andre asked, "Aren't you too young to start taking care of your skin?"

Mia shook her head, "Definitely not. I have to start early. If I don't take care of my skin now, it'll be too late when I have wrinkles. Then my husband's eyes will be on other girls, and I will be left out." Andre was speechless.

Video chatting with his adorable wife was the only happy thing in Andre's day.

He met with those girls every day, looking at their arms. His once hopeful heart was becoming more and more desperate.

Only when he saw Mia full of energy at night could he get some comfort.

Even if he didn't speak, just watching her applying her face mask, Andre couldn't bear to look away.

At midnight, Mia said she was going to sleep, and they ended the call.

The next day, Mia got up early.

After washing up in the bathroom, she went straight to Naomi's room.

She knocked on the door and asked, "Naomi, are you awake?"

Naomi replied, "Come in."

Naomi got out of bed. Bruce asked, "What's the matter?" He was also planning to get up and see what was going on. Naomi replied, "You don't need to go. Andre is coming back today. Mia probably wants me to help her pick out clothes." Walking out of the room, she saw Mia, and sure enough, that was it.

"I don't know what to wear for a date. Can you help me pick something?" Mia said anxiously.

Naomi comforted her with a smile, then followed her to her room.

Her bed was already piled with clothes.

"These......" Mia said, "These are all the dresses I've tried. I'll try them on again, and you can see which one looks good."

Mia picked up a pink dress, put it on, then casually tied up her hair, "How about this?"

Naomi saw Mia's legs exposed and shook her head, "Andre will be too worried about you being cold to notice if you look good or not."

Mia thought that what her sister-in-law said made sense, so she quickly changed into another outfit.

Naomi said, "This outfit doesn't look young enough. It doesn't look like someone who is in love."

Mia continued changing clothes.

By the time she finally got dressed and put on makeup, it was already noon.

Mia tried to keep her makeup intact while eating, so she opened her mouth so wide that she could stuff a whole egg in it.

Even Leo was worried that Mia's mouth would split open.

"Mia, doesn't your mouth hurt?" He asked.

Mia had just stuffed a big piece of chicken into her mouth. Her mouth was bulging, and she couldn't speak.

Hansen laughed, "Mia is so impressive. She can eat a whole chicken leg in one bite, it's like a circus act."

Hansen passed another chicken leg to Mia, "Perform it again."

Mia puffed up her mouth, looked at the chicken leg in Hansen's hand, and fell into deep thought.

Andre boarded the plane, and Mia left home.

Before she drove off, Leo kept reminding her, "You must drive slowly. Be careful."

After some time of practice, she had gained some confidence in her driving skills.

She started the car and began to head for the airport.

Unbeknownst to Mia, as soon as she left, another car followed her.

Naomi and Hansen didn't trust Mia's driving skills, so they had Leo follow her secretly.

Mia hasn't developed the habit of checking the rear-view mirror, so she didn't notice she was being followed at all.

Upon arriving at the airport, Mia drove into the parking lot.

Leo also followed her and watched her.

She parked the car, picked up her bag, and got out of the car. She didn't look back at the number of her parking space, and headed straight for the exit of the parking lot.

Leo said, "Is Mia's brain empty? She didn't remember anything."

It would be extremely difficult for her to find her car among hundreds of cars later.

Naomi lightly knocked on his head from behind, "Respect your elders. She is your auntie."

Mia was all dolled up and ready to greet her hubby.

She was rocking a floral maxi dress with a black trench coat thrown over, plus a small LV bag to match. Just standing there in the airport, she was already turning heads. She looked young and fresh-faced. Today, Naomi did her makeup, adding a touch of mature allure. Some guys around were buzzing to make a move on Mia.

But as soon as they got close, she shot them a warning glance.

Then, Mia switched spots, waiting eagerly once again.

Pretty girls always have guys who want to hit on them.

"Are you here to pick someone up too?" Another guy approached.

Mia glanced at him, "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just thought you're pretty and wanted to get to know you."

Mia immediately put some space between them, "I'm married. I don't want to know you."
