Chapter 40
Mars, ready to hit the sack, got a call from Andre, “What are you talking about? Who’s Mia? You have a
wife? Your wife is missing? Mia’s missing? Go d, what happened?”
Andre: “Yes, I’m married. My wife is Mia, and she’s missing now.”
Mars: “wait a sec, I might be drunk.”
Andre: “Snap out of it in three seconds and help me find her.”
Mars rolled off his bed, his as s smarting from the fall on the floor.
He got it. This wasn’t a dream. His buddy actually got married. Not only did he get married, but his wife
had also done a runner.
So, three minutes after Andre hung up, his other three mates from abroad dialed him one after another,
“Andre, I heard from Mars your wife’s done a runner?”
Andre endured their questions.
“How did you end up in this mess, mate? You’re not exactly lacking in charm, how did your wife escape
right after you got married?”
Taking a deep breath, Andre said, “If it weren’t for needing Mars’ help right now, I would have shut him
up.”
“You’re pis sed.” Conner from abroad confirmed his friend’s wife was gone, “Andre, I’m heading over to
Eldoria to be with you.”
As friends, they needed to be there for him through these dark times.
Conner was coming, so were the other two, Asher and Teddy. On the surface, they said they were
coming to be there for their friend through a tough time. In reality, they wanted to see what Andre’s wife
looked like, and what kind of woman had the guts to betray Andre.
The Cedillo family searched for Mia all night, and even Hansen knew that. Sitting on the sofa, his
hands clenched tightly.
Blarning Mia now was pointless, and Andre had stayed up all night waiting for Mia to come
home.
At noon the next day, Mia hesitated before returning to the Cedillo family. Standing outside the Cedillo’s
front door, she took a deep breath, men tally preparing herself.
Having not come home all night, she was bound to be scolded. She had thrown a ma**ive tantrum at
the Cedillo family yesterday, but today she was much calmer. She told herself to keep her emotions in
check and not to lose her temper again.
Her arrival woke Andre, who had his eyes closed resting, he watched his wife walk in from the
sweltering sun.

Mia’s embarra**ment and nervousness did not escape his eyes. Andre adjusted his sitting. position on
the sofa.
Mia paused at the door for half a minute, then walked towards the living room.
“Who gave you the nerve to not come home all night and leave us with no news of you?” Hansen said, Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Are you defying me?”
Hansen glared angrily, his look frightening Mia.
“I went to a friend’s house yesterday. I realized I forgot my phone when I got there, so I didn’t tell the
family.”
“You forgot?.” Hansen roared.
Mia clammed up, afraid to speak.
Hansen was initially furious, even contemplated having Mia and Andre divorce. But seeing her
obediently standing there waiting to be scolded, he remembered the butler’s reminder that the cause of
all this was his insistence on her marrying Andre.
“Mia, do you know you were wrong?” Hansen glared fiercely at Mia.
Naomi had been silent the entire time, knowing Hansen was angry, she didn’t dare provoke him. But
she wanted to know if Mia would apologize for her actions yesterday.
