Among the brothers, they all knew Asher was hiding a woman, but they just didn't know who she was.
Teddy and Conner wanted to get Asher drunk to pry the truth out of him. Mars knew what they were up to, so he played along on the sidelines, insisting on pouring drinks for Asher to celebrate.
Andre was there too, but unfortunately, as a dad, he couldn't join the fray; he had to feed his son while eating.
Henry was sharp now. Standing on his chair, he watched his mom pull a bottle of water from behind her back, clearly plotting to trick him. "Mom, I'm watching you. Don't even try to fool me."
Mia turned her head and met her son's gaze. "Who said I was tricking you? I wanted a drink for myself."
Then she took a sip of water, trying to figure out how to outsmart her son.
Henry's eyes never left his sly little cat of a mother. But while he guarded against one, he failed to watch out for the other. Andre took a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap with one hand, and quietly poured it into his own glass.
Mia caught it out of the corner of her eye, practically screaming in her head: Why are you pouring it in your glass? Weren't you supposed to give it to our son?
Then Andre calmly set the water bottle down and picked up his glass. "Cheers."
Henry stared at the clear liquid in his dad's glass. Sticking his little butt out, he reached over with his tiny hands. "Dad, Dad, can we trade? Please?" His own cup might be fake, but his dad's definitely wasn't. His dad always drank alcohol when they went out, so whatever was in his dad's glass had to be the real deal.
The clever little boy was calculating perfectly, but due to his severe lack of social experience, not only did his plan fail, but he also fell right into the trap his dad had set for him.
Andre feigned reluctance. Copying his mother's pouting routine, Henry took a big step over, wrapped his arms around his dad's neck, and puckered up for a kiss. Andre didn't even try to dodge; he just let his son grab his head and plant a big kiss on him.
After a good bit of whining, Andre reluctantly agreed. "I can trade with you, but this is alcohol. You can only have this one glass, and then you drink water, okay?"
