Chapter 36
She was the last one to walk into the dining room, and just as everyone was washing their hands and
getting ready to eat, Mia had started eating straight away before Hansen had even started talking.
Andre was sitting next to her, his heart racing. He couldn’t figure out why Mia had such an impact on
his heartbeat.
Naomi saw the chance to pick a fight, “Mia, don’t you know you’re supposed to wash your hands before
eating? Didn’t your parents teach you that?”
Mia slammed her fork on the table, staring at Naomi, “Did you forget the pain after your wounds
healed?”
This topic made Naomi angry. Unable to control her temper, Naomi stood up, pointing at Mia, “It’s either
you stay in this house, or I do. I can’t stand being here with you.”
“You’re still so hot-tempered at your age, sis-in-law. You must be going through menopause. My NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
grandma had a medicine last year when she was going through it,and it worked pretty well. I suggest
you get a box.”
Mia’s words left Naomi speechless, while Bruce shook his head. His wife always picked fights with Mia,
only to be humiliated by her. But she still wanted to provoke Mia.
Just as Naomi was about to chew Mia out, Hansen shouted from the head of the table, “Enough!”
Hansen: “Mia, apologize to Naomi.”
“Why should I apologize? She was the one who attacked me first.”
Mia had been avoiding conflict. Therefore, she rarely left her room. However, Naomi went after her
parents. She didn’t want to cause trouble, but others always provoked her.
In Mia’s mind, she had evaluated the people of the Cedillo family.
Her husband Andre always stayed out of the business, as if he enjoyed watching her being made fun
of. Bruce and his wife Naomi were a couple, and he would naturally protect his wife. Hansen and
Naomi had deep feelings for years. As an outsider, how could she expect Hansen
to be fair in this matter?
If he were fair, he would have taken Naomi to the Irvin family and apologize to her parents a long time
ago.
What had she done to upset Naomi? She couldn’t figure it out. It seemed that she and Naomi had
become enemies.
Hansen couldn’t stand Mia arguing with him. “Think about it, ever since you married Andre, there has
been constant arguing at home. Can’t you change your character, Mia? I’ve been tolerating you for a
long time.”

Mia sneered, “Tolerance? Thanks for your tolerance, but I don’t need it.”
“Mia! Do you even know what respect is?!”
“The premise of respect is to respect. I ask you, have you ever respected me?”
Hansen retorted, “How have we not respected you?”
“Why not ask yourselves this qustion?”
Mia’s counter-question left the Cedillo family speechless.
Momentarily, Hansen’s face turned red, and he said word by word, “The rule of the Cedillo family is to
respect the elders. Since you’re part of the Cedillo family, you should follow this rule and apologize to
your sister-in-law.”
Seeing Mia being scolded by Hansen, Naomi was smug.
Mia looked at her, clenched her fists, held back her anger, and said to Naomi, “I’m sorry.”
Hansen’s anger gradually subsided, and Naomi was all smiles.
“But, when will Naomi apologize to my parents. Since the rule of the Cedillo family is to respect the
elders. Then I want to ask, when will she follow this family rule.”
Naomi: “Forget it, your mom is younger than me, there’s no way I’m apologizing to her.”
