Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 161

Andre knocked on the door, "Dad, can I have a word with you?"

Hansen was a bit miffed and responded with a touch of mischief, "I'm already in bed."

"Please come to my study in five minutes." With that, Andre left.

Muttering under his breath, Hansen said, "Who does he think he is, bossing me around? In his dreams."

Nevertheless, five minutes later, despite his grumpiness, he dutifully trudged to Andre's study, "So, your brother is here too?"

Bruce was also in Andre's study.

Andre closed the door and seriously said to his father and brother, “Dad, Bruce, I saw Molly.”

At Andre's words, Hansen realized the gravity of the situation. No wonder his son called them to the study.

Mentioning that sensitive name, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned frosty.

Hansen fell silent.

Bruce asked his younger brother, “Andre, are you sure you didn't mistake her for someone else? It's been fifteen years, and you may not recognize Molly even if you saw her now.”

Andre shook his head, "I couldn't have mistaken her, after all, only I would recognize the bite mark on her arm."

Andre looked gravely at his father and brother, emphasizing, “I didn't mistake her, I actually grabbed her hand. Dad, Bruce, Molly is really still waiting for us.”

Hansen turned serious, his playful demeanor nowhere to be seen. At the mention of that child, his hands clenched into fists.

“Andre, I hope you can let it go.” This was his fatherly concern for his son.

Andre's gaze was cold, looking at his father who was seated in the main seat, “Dad, you tricked me into marrying Mia with Molly's information, you know very well whether that information was true or false.”

The information that Hansen gave him back then, he later found out it was all convincingly made-up.

But at that time, he had already accepted Mia in his heart, so he never argued with his father about it. Because he had found a wife, Andre treated that information as if it didn't exist. But he never gave up on finding Molly, until that day, at The Silent Ring. He found that child, but she ran away.

“Dad, I plan to go out of town for a few days to look for her.”

Andre had selected 42 people from hundreds of names. These people were in different provinces and cities, and Andre decided to look for them himself.

Hansen knew that his son would see through the fake information he provided, and he was prepared to confront his son. “Andre, have you ever thought that Molly might be gone?”

Andre had just insisted that he saw Molly; now he would never believe that his sister was dead!

Andre, "Dad, Molly is your own daughter.”

If his father didn't want to look for her, that was one thing, but to tell him that she might be dead...

Thinking of that adorable child from his past, Hansen's eyes filled with tears. Yes, that was his own daughter, lost for fifteen years. How much he wished he could find that child, to hold her after work as he did when she was little, to listen to her coo, to play with her.

Hansen raised his hand to wipe his tears.

Molly, was the Cedillo family's little daughter, always the apple of everyone's eye. She was the younger sister of Bruce, and the sister of business tycoon Andre.

Just before Andre passed out, he could still hear his sister's crying, and he told his sister, “I will definitely protect you.”

Then, he fell into darkness.

When he woke up, everyone told him, Molly was gone. Andre collapsed and cried bitterly, he ran out and searched day and night for his sister, but still couldn't find her.

During that time, the Cedillo family was shrouded in gloom.

Bruce fainted from coughing up blood on the road while looking for his sister. He almost died in a car accident, because he hadn't had a good night's sleep for a month.

Their mom fell ill and couldn't get up, and she needed to rely on oxygen in the hospital to keep the strength.

Andre would often go MIA, only to resurface at the hospital to visit his mom. He would make promises to his mom, who was confined to a hospital bed, that he'd surely find Molly.

Then, his mom passed away too.

Andre was shattered. This was his dark phase at the age of 13, where he lost his sister and then his mom.

Hansen aged overnight. There was no more sparkle in his eyes and no more smiles on his face. Andre never stopped searching for his sister, not for a single moment over the years. When he saw that kid with the bite mark on her arm, he decided that he'd find her no matter what. He wouldn't let go of any shred of a chance, even if it was just wishful thinking, he was willing to take it.

"I can't rest easy until I find Molly."

As a kid, Andre was a real gentleman, like a lad from a rich family, mature, composed and polite. But after the major catastrophe in his family when he was 13, he started to glorify violence and turned gloomy. He thought Molly's disappearance was because he wasn't strong enough. If he was stronger, he could have protected his family.

That was when The Silent Ring was born.
