He signaled with his finger, and Mia made a turn. "Where's Mia? I called her but no one picked up."

"Ah, your wife is cooking up a surprise for you."

Mia nodded in satisfaction. This friend of hers was really reliable.

Upon hearing his nephew's words, Andre smiled and began looking forward to the surprise his wife was preparing. "Tell her to call me back tonight."

Leo agreed and after hanging up, he resumed his coaching job. Not wanting to get hit, he became more cautious with his words. Instead of swearing loudly as he initially intended, he conveyed his thoughts subtly. "Some people's hands are like Peppa Pig." Mia was left speechless.

Seeing how quickly Mia was turning the steering wheel, Leo reconsidered his words, "Mia, you're holding a steering wheel, not an engine."

Afterwards, Mia turned the steering wheel a bit slower.

After a while, he couldn't help but speak again. "You drive so slow you're killing ants on the road, why don't you get out and clean up their bodies?"

Mia sped up.

Gradually, Leo started to talk nonsense, forgetting he was sitting next to a T-Rex. Oblivious to the woman next to him looking pissed, he continued to nag, "You're driving a car, not a rocket. We don't want to fly into space when you turn."

Mia took a deep breath, keeping her eyes on the road.

Sje slammed on the brakes.

"Why did you stop? You're going to...ow, not again."

Mia punched him straight away, grabbing his hair and pulling hard. "Are you coaching me or trying to amuse yourself? I'm being way too nice today, letting you ramble on."

"Let go. You asked me to teach you, can't I say a few words?" Leo raised his hand trying to loosen Mia's grip.

Mia started to get angry, feeling that Leo was just trying to provoke her. "When I drive at 20, you say I'm slow. When I drive at 30, you say I'm fast. You're just picking a fight with me." Four people then followed them.

Hansen was the first to see his grandson getting hit again. He chuckled while chatting with the butler. "I've never heard about Mia being violent before."

Hansen no longer believed Mia's claims of being gentle. It just seemed too fake.

The butler said, "Sir, I wanted to investigate this earlier. But you said, this child has clear and innocent eyes. Her face is gentle and cute, and she is definitely one of the Cedillos, no investigation needed." Hansen decided to play dumb, "Did I say that?"

The butler nodded.

Remembering the first time he saw Mia's picture, Hansen sighed, "Ah, getting old really does make you forgetful. I don't even remember saying those things."

The butler quietly watched as Hansen played dumb.

Naomi and Bruce also witnessed their son getting beaten up by Mia. "Dear, do you think Mia's been influenced by Andre and developed a bad temper?"

Bruce said, "Don't blame everything on Andre. Although he's rough, his temper isn't bad."

Naomi said, "So are you saying Mia's personality is the problem?"

"What I'm saying is, it must've been Leo who pissed Mia off, that's why she hit him."

Leo from the side, "I'm running away from home. I can't live here anymore!"

It was already late and all the Cedillos had returned home.

On the first day, Mia felt relieved, "Thank God I didn't hit the wall."

But her relief didn't last two days. The Cedillos' housekeeper came home shouting, "Hansen, something bad happened, Ms. Mia had a car accident." "What!"

Everyone went to see her.

At the accident scene, Mia was standing off to the side, looking rather embarrassed. Leo was also standing there, looking very guilty.

"Is everyone okay?"

Hansen looked at Mia and Leo with concern. Both of them shook their heads.

Naomi looked at the ruined hut and asked the two, "What happened?"

Mia glanced at Leo, her gaze somewhat evasive, unable to speak the truth. Leo also didn't dare to say why he hit the wall. Both of them were afraid of being reprimanded by the family.

It all began with Leo causing trouble. He egged Mia on to crash into the hut. Mia disagreed. "That's where my husband used to punish you. I'm not crashing into it."

Leo said, "It's also used to punish you. When my uncle's not at home, just drive into it. Then we won't have a place to be punished when we do something wrong. Plus, you're a beginner, everyone knows you're not good at driving. If you crash into it, no one will blame you."

Mia looked at the hut where she used to be locked in. She still shook her head, "Don't try to ruin my relationship with my husband. We just made up, what if he gets mad at me when he comes back?"

"He won't. In our family, he dotes on you the most. He won't get mad knowing you crashed into it."

Mia shook her head, "f you want to crash, you do it. Don't think I don't know, you just want me to crash and then make me take the blame."

"Fine, I'll do it. But you have to take the blame with me."

Mia, "I don't believe you'd really do it."

"If you don't believe it, just watch."

Then the car accident happened.

Back at home, Mia hung her head low. Usually rowdy Leo didn't dare to open his mouth today. He crashed into the hut and was scared the moment it happened. The bricks flying over made his heart tremble. "Leo, I've always trusted your driving, what happened today?"

Leo, "I..."

Mia apologized and took the blame, "I'm sorry, I didn't control the speed well and crashed into it."

"It's okay, it's okay." Naomi said again, "I'm not blaming you. I'm worried about you. How are we supposed to explain this to Andre when he comes back?"

At that moment, Andre called. Mia was almost too afraid to answer the phone.

Afterwards, after it hung up, Leo's phone started ringing. He handed the phone to Mia, "You answer it, it's definitely for you."

Mia handed the phone back to Leo, "It's for you, you answer it."

The two kept pushing the phone to each other. Finally, Mia picked up the phone and walked to a corner, "Hello, darling~"

"Why did it take so long to pick up?"

Mia bit her lip, her head leaning against the wall, "Um, I got a little held up."

"What happened?"

Mia admitted her mistake, "I've wrecked our car, and also hit the hut."

The other end of the phone went silent for a few seconds, "It was Leo who did it, right?"

Mia thought to herself, she didn't even say anything.

Andre said, "If it was you who crashed, you would've called me immediately weeping and apologizing. Not like now, filled with guilt and too scared to answer my calls." Mia looked puzzled, was she that kind of person?

Andre asked again, "Were you in the car when Leo had the accident?"
