SWNOVELS Novel Chapter 113
Chapter 113
Leo glanced at Andre sitting next to him. His wife was keeping secrets from him, but he was still wearing a smile, seemingly in a good mood “Hey, Leo? Leo! Are you listening?” Without waiting for his response, Mia continued, “Where are you now?”
Leo said, heard you. I’m not home yet”
“Good. Don’t go home”
Andre nodded at Leo.
Leo got the message. He agreed, “Okay, I won’t go home. But be careful”
“What do you mean?”
Leo had already hung up.
He looked at Andre and asked, “Why are you so happy?”
“She hides things from me, does that mean she’s afraid of me?” Andre speculated.
Leo nodded, “Is that why you’re happy?”
Andre turned his gaze to his wife in the restaurant. A faint smile appeared on his lips, “If she’s afraid of me it means she cares about me.”
She cared about him, of course, he would be happy.
Inside the car, Leo couldn’t comprehend that bizarre sense of satisfaction married people had. He felt goosebumps all over.
Back in the restaurant, Mia was still puzzled, “Leo just told me to be careful. I feel like he’s trying to tell me something. Did Andre already find out?”
Hansen waved his hand dismissively, “You’re overthinking Leo couldn’t possibly have made it home even if he drove, so he definitely hasn’t met Andre.”
Mia nodded. She mused while munching on her food, “But why is my heart beating so fast?”
“He’s probably just jealous that we’re enjoying delicious food without him. This kid has some character issues.” Hansen happily took another bite of his cake and was thinking that there was nothing that delicious at home. It seemed there were benefits to hanging out more with Mia.
Mia nodded again, feeling what Hansen said made sense.
“Even if Leo drove from the university, it will take him at least half an hour. And he didn’t drive today, so he definitely hasn’t reached home yet. Andre is also working overtime at the office. They haven’t met.”
Hansen nodded, “Yes, yes, exactly. Now, eat up. We’ll order another of these later.”
The two continued eating in the restaurant, while the two in the car continued watching
“Why did you suddenly come to school today?”
Havenbrook University had three gates. Mia and Hansen met at the west gate.
Jade went to the east gate to find her brother.
Leo was heading to the nearest south gate, planning to grab a taxi to the arcade.
As he was about to hail a taxi, a familiar Rolls–Royce GHOST pulled up in front of him.
The car window rolled down. Andre commanded from inside the car, “Get in.”
Leo was surprised, “what are you doing here?”
He hopped into the car and buckled his seatbelt.
Andre knocked on Leo’s forehead, “Why are you skipping school?”
Leo was wrongfully accused. He defended himself passionately, “I didn’t skip school.”
At that time, Andre had just spoken to Mia on the phone. She told him that they had class, but Leo said that they didn’t.
“Here’s our schedule. You can see for yourself,” Leo handed him the most convincing evidence.
Andre looked at the schedule, then frowned.
His wife actually fied to him!
“Where’s Mia?” he asked.
Leo suddenly remembered Mia’s plan. He immediately regretted what he had just said, “She might be taking extra lessons at the school”
“You have one last chance,” Andre’s eyes threatened Leo, “Where is she?”
Leo didn’t want to betray his friend, “She’s really in class.”
“Your last dance teacher told me you’re not suitable for Latin dance. How about I switch you to ballet?”
The moment Andre finished his sentence, Leo quickly blurted out, “She and Grandpa are secretly going to the snack street for some Indian food today. We often go there to eat. She even wanted me to come along, but I didn’t want to betray you, so I refused.”
At that point, Leo’s consideration was not about friendship, but about self preservation!
He gave a very detailed account, even mentioning the location to Andre. He emphasized, ‘She and Grandpa planned this last week. They knew you had a meeting at the office today and would be too busy to come home for dinner, so they chose to go today”
Andre smirked. So that was how it was.
He had been thinking about her all afternoon and decided to personally pick her up from school as a surprise. He even planned to take her to Majestic Dining Enclave for dinner
Turned out she was only thinking about her own happiness! She even lied to him.
If he hadn’t bumped into Leo, he would have been decelved by her
Andre drove to the Indian restaurant as directed by Leo.
And that led to the events mentioned earlier.
However long Mia ate, Andre kept on watching her
Eventually, Andre’s phone rang. He answered, “yeah, I’ll handle this once I get to the office.”
He ended the call and drove off.
He dropped Leo off at a junction close to home, “Walk home yourself. Don’t mention anything about today to her.”
Leo nodded. He got out of the car and watched Andre drive off.
When Mia returned home, Andre was indeed not home
She and Hansen high–fived in triumph, “We did it!”
Leo on the couch shook his head at their jubilant display. They had no idea what was about to happen.
Mia went upstairs to shower. She washed off the spicy food odor, sprayed on Andre’s favorite perfume, and prepared herself for her husband’s return.
Late at night, Andre returned home.
Mia greeted Andre with a beaming smile. Upon seeing him, her eyes lit up in joy.
Andre chuckled as he changed his shoes, “You’re that happy to see me?”
Mia nodded, “You’re my husband, of course, I’m happy to see you”
“Why didn’t you want me to pick you up from school then?”
After a satisfying meal, Mia’s words were as sweet as sugar. They touched a man’s heart directly, “My husband is too handsome, I’m afraid others will be jealous. My husband is too rich, I’m afraid others will envy him. My husband is too good, I can’t bear to let others see him.”
Leo on the side couldn’t control his laughter.
He never knew Mia’s words could be so sweet, so good at coaxing people.
The guy was in high spirits, hugging her waist and asking. “Did you have a tough time in class this afternoon?”
With thick skin, Mia nodded, “It was really hard. I had four classes this afternoon. My wrist hurts from all the writing.”
Andre thought to himself, if it wasn’t for the fact that he saw her happily eating that afternoon with his own eyes, he would have been tricked by her
again
“How about I give you a massage?”
Mia nodded, “Sure!”
Leo somehow found a stool. He sat at the door, looking forward to seeing Andre scold his wife!
However, he waited for a long time, but Andre didn’t criticize Mia at all.
