Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1383

Mia piped up with a grin, “Her boyfriend’s last name is Rivers—Andre’s nephew, mind you. She’s already got a spot saved as our future daughter-in-law!”

Ms. Aimee groaned, “Let’s just pretend I never said anything.”

Anya just shook her head and laughed, “No worries at all.”

The Cedillo house was buzzing. It was already nine, but Andre was glued to the couch, news on TV and not paying attention to a word. His brother-in-law sat next to him, nervously twisting his hands. One look between them said it all—they were both worried.

“Andre, they’ve been MIA all day. No calls, no texts, nothing. Maybe we should check in? It’s late, Molly’s probably exhausted with the kid. When she gets worked up, sweetie gets even more fired up than her mom.”

Nobody outside the family would know, but Wayne was a perfect blend of his dad’s best qualities—and all his mom’s quirks.

Andre nodded, “Go ahead. You call.”

Officer Chad hesitated, “Or, you know what, let’s both call.”

Andre glanced out the window, grabbed his phone, and stood up. “I’ll take the front porch.”

Chad stood too, phone in hand. “I’ll head out back.”

They split up, each dialing their partner.

Inside, the four women were deep in gossip, laughter echoing, when suddenly both Mia and Molly’s phones rang. In a flash, the room went silent.

Glancing at her screen, Mia whispered, “Molly, we might act like frenemies most days, but if you spill my secret tonight, I’ll tell Chad about your crush on the high school basketball captain.”

Molly shot back, “Savage! But if you tell him, I’ll tell Andre you went to the movies with another guy.”

Mia looked scandalized, “When did I ever go to the movies with another guy?”

Molly stood up, phone in hand, grinning, “Hey, anytime you set foot in a theater, every guy there counts.”

Mia retorted, “We’re going nuclear, huh? Well, you once brought water to another man.”
