After seeing the father and daughter off, Noah personally escorted them to the private elevator to leave.

When Andre returned to the office, he found his lovely wife Mia comfortably settled in his boss's chair. In the vast empire of the Cedillo Group, only Mia had the audacity to sit in Andre's executive chair without a care.

With their chubby little son Henry perched on her lap, Mia expertly balanced him while rummaging through Andre's drawer for a pack of diapers.

"Who were those two?" she asked, a touch of impatience in her voice.

"A business partner from Magez Corporation, Mr. Sinclair. What brings you here all of a sudden?" Andre replied, puzzled since he knew Mia had a class soon.

Mia shifted to the couch, starting to change Henry's diaper with practiced ease. "Leo texted me saying there was a woman in your office, and you two were chatting for quite a while. And she was particularly beautiful and dressed very seductively... I just couldn't stay away." "Don't you trust my loyalty?" Andre asked, a doting smile on his face as he watched Mia take care of their son.

Mia pouted. "Any wife would have wild thoughts hearing something like that."

After changing Henry, Mia prepared to feed their hungry son. "So, what were those two here for? Considering you sent them away so quickly, they probably weren't here for good reasons."

Andre sat down next to her, handing her his water bottle. "If any woman came looking for me, I'd meet them in the conference room. They were interested in Leo."

Halfway through feeding, Henry saw his mother drinking from the bottle and became envious, babbling for a drink himself. "Ah ah mama ma~"

Mia let Henry sit on her lap and brought the bottle to his lips, letting him lick the water. She continued, "No wonder Leo was so eager to snitch. He wanted me to come and drive them away for him. Such a schemer." Meanwhile, Anya received a call from her father. "Honey, what's your relationship with Leo?"

Anya pursed her lips, thinking of her ambiguous situation with Chad, and replied, "Nothing much, Dad."

Mr. Calder sighed, "Sweetheart, let's not stay at their place any longer. Move out as soon as you can, okay? I'll ask the housekeeper to look after you."

"Why, Dad?" Anya was confused.

Mr. Calder inquired, "Has anyone been trying to set Leo up with someone lately?"

Since Mia had class in the afternoon and had rushed over in the scorching heat due to jealousy, she didn't stay long at the office. Andre soon found himself busy taking his wife to school.

Leo's desk was still empty. Andre instructed one of the male staff members from the secretary's office, "Go to the bathroom and get Leo back to work."

"Yes, CEO."

Mia, carrying her son into the elevator, thought aloud, "Leo used me today. Wait till I get home; I'll give him a piece of my mind."

Henry opened his mouth excitedly, babbling, "Ah ah mama mama."

Mia kissed her son several times affectionately. "My son is the cutest, aren't you, Henry?"

Back in the car, Henry, who hadn't finished eating earlier, started searching for more food on Mia.

"You little glutton, you wouldn't eat the rice cereal your dad has in his office, just waiting for mom, huh?" Mia unbuttoned her blouse to feed Henry in the car.

Andre looked away, "We'll have to wean him off soon."

After dropping Mia off at the university, the class bell rang, and she hurried off, taking two steps at a time.

Father and son returned to the company; Andre, carrying his son, passed by his nephew's desk and called out, "Come with me."

Leo closed his file, stood up, and followed with a resigned look.

"All this time, you've been well-informed. It's about Anya. Either give the Calder family a clear answer soon, or they'll have Anya move out," Andre said, knowing his nephew's heart was set on a good girl. Leo scratched his head while Henry turned to look at his brother, curious and playful after being fed.

"Uncle, just tell them I have a girlfriend."

"And if Mr. Calder asks who your girlfriend is, what am I supposed to say?" Andre had a soft spot for his nephew, knowing well where his affections lay.

Leo fell silent.

"Go on, let me know once you've decided." Pressuring his nephew could lead to another argument with his young wife.

Leo left, and with no more spectacle, Henry obediently sat on his father's lap, turning to watch him work.

Andre gently caressed his son's cheek. "What are you looking at daddy for?"

"Mmm oh-"

Andre lifted his son, who enthusiastically pressed his face against his dad's, leaving a slobbery mark and laughing joyously.

With his son by his side, Andre's mood was always lifted. He placed Henry in his stroller next to him and continued with his work.

In the afternoon, Leo left early to pick up Anya from Havenbrook University. "What do you want to eat? I'll take you out."

Anya bit her lip, distractedly saying, "Anything is fine."

Leo didn't know which restaurant to recommend, as it used to be Mia and Molly who explored all of Havenbrook's eateries, with him playing chauffeur to the sisters.

Now that both sisters were married with their families and drivers, he found himself in the role of a personal driver for others.

"Ask your aunt which restaurant she recommends." Mia hadn't eaten out in a long time due to breastfeeding.

"Chad, how about... we skip eating out? Can you take me to see the villa my dad bought for me?"

Anya looked at Leo, hesitating before finally voicing her request.

Because of what her dad said in the afternoon, she found herself distracted during class, and even seeing Leo didn't excite her as much as it used to.

Leo, too, was troubled by what his uncle had said earlier that day, his thoughts a tangled mess, his mood far from its usual lightness.

"Why are we looking at mansions?" Leo pulled the car over to the curb, turning to ask his "little shadow."

Anya looked down, fiddling with her seatbelt, her voice soft. "If you were to go on a blind date, my being at your house might cause..."

"Bullshit! When have I ever gone on a blind date?" Leo cursed outright.

His brows furrowed, his gaze stern as he stared at Anya beside him. Usually carefree and unreliable, a true gentleman when he chose to be serious, Anya found him intimidating. "I, Chad, I was just saying 'if,' as in, hypothetically speaking."
