Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 207

Andre asked, "Where's Mia?"

Leo pointed to a room, "Jade had a little tumble into the water. Your wife is over there taking care of her."

Andre nodded, turned around and headed towards the room his wife was in. He gently knocked on the door, "Mia, I'm here."

Wait, what? What did he say? Whose husband was this?

Soon enough, the door was opened.

Mia peeked her head out, "Hey babe!"

Andre gave her a quick once-over, first checking if Mia was okay, then peering into the room. "Where's Molly?"

Mia stepped out and shut the door behind her. "Babe, Jade's taking a shower right now. You can't go in."

Andre got it.

"Did you see Leo? When he was diving into the water to rescue Jade, he was also competing in a drinking game. He had more than ten bottles."

Andre had smelled the alcohol on his nephew earlier; he knew the kid had drunk quite a bit.

Mia looked at the surprised crowd of classmates. She took her husband's hand and led him into the crowd to introduce him, "I'm sure you all want to know who I married. Ever heard of Andre?"

Heard of him? That was a name they all knew very well. Mia's spouse was none other than Andre, a big shot. No wonder Leo had told them that Mia already had a man, and it was someone no one dared to mess with. Who would dare mess with such a big shot in the business world?

Everyone's gaze shifted from Mia to Andre. For a moment, they all felt like they had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer.

Everyone was too shocked to react.

Mia glanced at Pete, and quickly explained to her husband, "Babe, see that guy in the bathrobe over there? Let me introduce you. His name is Pete."

Andre looked at Pete, his eyes full of pressure. So, he was the one who was in the fight.

"Pete is quite the character. He egged Guz and Leo on to drink, and he also conspired with Carl to push Jade into the pool."

Andre kept quiet, but Pete was too nervous to say anything, "Mr. Cedillo, it wasn't me. Mia got it wrong."

Mia laughed, "How did I get it wrong? Where's Carl? Let him come out and back you up. You did something big, don't be shy. Thanks to you, Leo and Jade got to soak in the cold water and prevent cardiovascular diseases. We'll be sure to thank you properly."

Andre looked at the boy standing in front of him, "Who's Pete? And who's Carl?"

Andre wasn't one for small talk, and he was even less interested in these twenty-something youngsters. The only one who could get his attention was the woman in his arms, his wife.

Compared to his nephew, the remaining male classmates seemed insignificant to him, as if there was a world of difference between them. But he wouldn't ask these questions for no reason, if he asked, it meant he was going to act.

The drinking game with Leo could be put aside for now, but this guy pushed Molly into the water on purpose. Andre would remember this grudge.

Mia recounted everything without holding back. She revealed all of Pete and Carl's business, even the location of their company's headquarters; the only thing she didn't tell her husband was where they lived.

Andre nodded. He understood.

Not long after, Chad arrived. He stood at the door knocking, holding a change of clothes in his hand, "Jade, open the door."

Mia's words left Andre speechless.

Chad stroked Jade's hair, bent down and lightly kissed her on the top of her head. "Let's go, go change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

"Okay."Jade obediently held onto Chad, ready to go back into the hotel room.

Suddenly, Andre stopped them again. He grabbed Chad by the shoulder and yanked him back. "What are you going in there for?"

Jade gathered her courage to answer Andre, "My brother is accompanying me to change."

Andre: "A twenty-year-old girl needs her brother to accompany her change clothes?"

He grabbed the bag from Chad's hand and tossed it to Jade who was standing at the door. Turning around, he gently pushed Mia's back, "Babe, you go help her."

Mia, who was pushed into the bedroom, was speechless.

Unable to control herself, Jade blurted out to Mia, "Mia, is there something wrong with your husband? Did he forget to take his meds today? Not only does he control you, but he also wants to control me? Does he have some kind of mental issue?"

Mia, standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. She began defending her husband. "Would you give it a rest? My husband isn't some layabout, why would he butt into your business while ignoring everybody else's? Like this whole falling-into-water fiasco, just you wait, my husband won't let Pete and Carl off easily."

He seemed all chill and relaxed just now, but the more he appeared nonchalant, the more he actually cared about something. Successful people didn’t just spill their guts in front of others.

"Mia, I've got a question for you. Why does your husband always treat me this way, making people misunderstand his intentions. Why aren't you ticked off?" Jade tried to fish for answers in Mia's gaze.

Mia started to unfold Jade's clothes one by one, laying them out on the bed. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "My husband... He lost his sister once."
