Turning around slowly, she saw her husband, grinning at her with his hands casually tucked behind his back. "Hey babe, it's not what you think, I just came to see you."
Andre chuckled, "Oh really? And why wasn't I informed?"
Mia glanced up at her husband's face, then around, realizing the person she was waiting for hadn't arrived. She playfully smacked his chest with her fist, "Quit the act, honey. You know why I'm here, and I know about Noah's betrayal."
Andre tilted her chin up, his eyes brimming with affection. "Didn't you say you trust me? So, what's this 'little treasure' you're talking about?"
"I do trust you, because I love you, darling. The 'little treasure' is just a token of my love."
"...I love you too."
Amidst the bustling street, Mia stood on tiptoes, pouting in a charming attempt to score a kiss.
Andre, shedding his usual composed and dignified aura, wrapped his arms around his petite wife and leaned down to kiss her.
From nearby, someone exclaimed, "Wow, they look amazing together." Photographers hurried to capture the sweet moment.
The autumn sun was shining bright, the air crisp, and leaves had turned a golden yellow.
Underneath the tree, the couple caught the attention of passersby, making them pause and admire. Autumn might be seen as a time of decline, but it also holds a certain beauty.
Sensing the eyes on them, the naturally shy Mia wanted to end the kiss. But just as she pulled away, Andre drew her back in for another. It wasn't until Mia playfully stomped on his shiny shoes, leaving a mark, that Andre let her go.
Exasperated, Mia cried out, "Honey, your company's being targeted by some shady folks, and here you are, kissing your wife out in the open."
