Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 129

Mia hopped off her hubby Andre's lap, gripping his index finger as they both stepped outside.

"Man, Mia's like Andre's shadow, she can't go anywhere without him. Every time she couldn't find him, she hunted him down."

Two maids whispered on the stairs.

"Yeah, last time when Mia woke up and Andre was at work, she was pacing around the house, asking anyone and everyone where her hubby was. When she found out he was at the office, she hightailed it there."

"Just now, Mia asked me the same thing. She was about to go downstairs for a meal, but when she heard her man was in his study, she turned right around and zoomed upstairs."

"Young love, right? They stick together like glue. Mia just can't get enough of Andre; she's practically attached to his hip all day."

The maids' whispers reached the couple's ears at the bottom of the stairs.

The more Mia heard, the more her little mouth puffed up, and she put on a cute pout.

Andre, hearing the whispers, was in high spirits. It seemed like when he was not at home, his wife was always looking for him.

"So, you can't live without me, huh? Can't bear to be apart for even a moment, huh?" He teased his blushing wife.

Mia stamped her foot in frustration. She marched up to the railing, leaned forward, and glared at the whispering maids.

"What on earth are you all jabbering about? I don't wake up and immediately look for my husband! I don't pace around the house looking for him! And I'm not clingy! Stop making stuff up! If anything, it's my husband who can't live without me!"

"Mia?!"

The maids jumped in surprise. They were busted while gossiping about their employers.

Andre pulled Mia back and patted her back. "Don't get mad; they didn't say anything wrong."

Mia clung onto her husband's shirt and cooed, "Darling, am I really that clingy?"

Andre chuckled, "Just the right amount, exactly how I like it."

Mia wasn't pleased with his answer.

So the annoyed young lady let go of her husband and marched down the stairs to the dining room.

Once there, she bumped into Leo.

"How long did you sleep in for?"

Leo saw Andre following Mia and swallowed his criticism, "I was up late studying last night."

"You've got some nerve." Mia said.

She sat down, and a maid served her breakfast.

"Where's my husband's?" Mia asked.

She always threw around casual questions like, "Where's my hubby?" "What's my hubby doing?" "My hubby..."

She didn't mean much by it, but it made others think she was super attached to her husband.

Next to her, Andre pulled out a chair and sat down, "I already ate."

He was only here to keep her company.

Mia gently pushed him away, "Don't worry about me; go do your thing. If you hover around me, people will think I always need you by my side and that I'm too reliant on you. It's alright, I have Leo here."

Andre was all smiles, "I want everyone to know that I'm here because I want to be. Can I do that?"

Mia bit her lip. She turned to the two maids in the dining room, "Remember, it's my husband who's clingy, not me. Clear that up if you hear anyone saying otherwise. I'm not always stuck to my husband's side."

The two maids struggled to suppress their laughter. Mia was just too adorable. "Yes, we understand, Mia."

Mia nodded in satisfaction.

During breakfast, Andre had a question for Leo. "Have you taken your ACCA exams?"

Leo shook his head, "Not interested."

It was clear.

This path was also chosen by Andre.

Mia turned to her husband, "If it's hard, then I won't learn it."

"It's okay; I’m here. If you want to learn, I’ll tutor you. One-on-one, no fees, just benefits.”

Andre emphasized ‘benefits’, causing Mia to imagine scenes of them being lovey-dovey, so she blushed.

“I won’t learn.”

Andre seemed to know what she was thinking, and he began to laugh. He casually said, "Eat up; I'll take you driving later."

"Do we really have to practice driving?" Mia wrinkled her face.

"Darling, can't I just stay put and not learn how to drive?"

Andre asked, "Don't you want a luxury car?"

Mia had no such ambition, so she shook her head, "I don't want one."

Andre asked again, "Don't you want to be able to go anywhere you want?"

Again, Mia had no big dreams, so she shook her head, "There are taxis and you to pick me up."

Andre was somewhat frustrated.

Why was his wife so against learning how to drive?

He asked, "What if I have to travel for work and there are no taxis nearby? What will you do?"

Mia replied, "I could ring up my dad or give Leo a buzz."

"You sure have a lot of backup drivers." Andre placed his wife's left hand on his heart, "Are you really not keen on learning?"
