Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 107

Mia's smile was soft as she said, "There you go calling me your kitten again." There was no accusation in her tone, just a hint of sweetness.

Leo shot her an annoyed glance.

At school, Leo and Jade discussed a lot about Mia and Andre.

"Oh my gosh, is it true? Mia has found true love after marriage?"

Looking at Mia grinning like an idiot while daydreaming, they both nodded, "It's true."

Jade sighed, "She was single for 20 years, but managed to find true love after marriage. That's some serious divine intervention."

Leo said, "I wish God would intervene for me too, and send Andre and her off to Maplewood Estates already. I can't stand them at home."

Jade replied, "Well, you're a guy, so you won't get divine intervention. You’ll have to fend for yourself."

In class, Mia's mind wandered to her husband while listening to the boring lecture.

And then, she started giggling.

Jade and Leo exchanged looks and shook their heads, "Even sitting this far, I can feel the lovey-dovey vibes coming from her."

At Cedillo Inc., CEO's office.

Austin, who had been criticized yesterday, came to the CEO's office again, this time presenting his new data with trembling hands. His heart hung in the air as Andre reviewed it.

Andre noticed that the data was finally correct. Just one glance from him yesterday had Austin scared out of his wits.

Andre asked, "I hear there's been trouble at home. What's your plan?"

Austin looked up in surprise at his boss, who seemed concerned about his personal life.

Andre's gaze wasn't as stern as it had been yesterday, but rather had a hint of caring enquiry.

Aware that his personal issues were known in the company, Austin said, "Sir, I won't let my personal issues affect my work. Please give me another chance."

If he lost his job again, it would be the end of the world for him.

Andre took a deep breath. Had he been too harsh before and made his subordinates so scared?

He said, "I won't fire you. If I give you a week off, can you sort out your home issues?"

"Sir." Austin looked at Andre. A week off? That sounded like he was being fired.

Andre thought to himself that when he's being nice, his subordinates seemed more scared of him.

He coughed twice, instantly reverting to his usual cold demeanor, and said to Austin sternly, "Sort out your home issues within a week. We'll find someone capable who can cover for you temporarily. If you bring personal issues to work after a week, resign."

Austin replied, "Yes, yes, thank you, sir." Seeing Andre back to normal, he felt relieved and grateful.

"You don't need to thank me. It was my wife's idea."

"Wife?" Austin was puzzled. He'd never met Andre's wife. How did she know about his issues?

Andre thought of the playful girl, "The young girl you met yesterday, the one who was messing around, isn't my niece. She's my wife, Mia."

Austin exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" He'd thought that girl was Andre's niece!

So, this was the legendary Mrs. Cedillo.

"Thank you, thank you!"

As Austin thanked him and was about to leave by taking the elevator, Alice appeared.

"Alice, any instructions?" Austin asked politely.

Alice replied, "As per the CEO's instructions, I've transferred 100,000 dollars to your bank account. Austin, don't let the CEO down."

She quietly opened the fridge and slowly reached her hand in.

A cough came from behind her. Recognizing the familiar voice, Mia's face fell instantly.

"Honey~"

Andre looked at the ice cream in her hand, his eyes telling her to put it back.

Mia glanced at the fridge, then at the ice cream, and whined, "I just want a bite."

"Put it back."

His eyes were full of resolve, leaving no room for negotiation.

Reluctantly, Mia put the ice cream back in the fridge.

Leo, who loved a good scene, chuckled, "Mia, don't be scared, fight him!"

Andre lifted his leg and delivered a swift kick to Leo's butt. "What did you say?"

Leo rubbed his bum. He crawled along the wall like a wounded bird, trying to get away from the unpredictable Andre.

Mia couldn't believe her husband would resort to violence. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness I put the ice cream back, or I might have been next,” she thought to herself.

"Go upstairs, take a shower, and then go to bed." Andre told her.

Mia obediently trudged upstairs.

At night, she craved ice cream again.

She even pretended to have a terrible stomachache. As Andre frantically searched for painkillers, she said, "If I have just one ice cream, my stomach will stop hurting."

Andre was having none of it and said, "Then keep having a stomachache."
