Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 351

Andre shook his head indulgently as he watched his hardworking little wife, letting her say whatever she wanted as long as she was happy.

Hansen, after taking a sip of his juice, shot a glare at his son. "Why did you order it with less ice and no sugar? I like it with more ice and regular sugar. A juice without sugar and ice is soulless."

Hansen had become like a young man himself, knowing quite a bit about ordering juices.

Mia, with a mournful look in her eyes, glanced at the now lukewarm juice in her father's hand. "Be grateful. Your son won't even let his precious wife have a sip."

Hansen glanced at the fruit tea in his daughter-in-law's hand and dismissively said, "What's so great about fruit tea? Our maid can make you a dozen different flavors."

Mia responded with the same argument, "What's so good about juice? Our maid can also make a dozen different flavors."

Hansen was left speechless. He loved to banter with his daughter-in-law, but he never seemed to win.

"Where's my daughter?"

"She's with Chad."

Hansen grumbled, "She's always around that Byrne boy. Andre, bring your sister back home."

Mia pointed at Hansen and gave him a 'I knew you'd say that' look. "You're starting again, aren't you? The Byrne's is also Molly's home. She's spent months with you, so what's wrong with her going back to the Byrne's for the holidays?"

Hansen pulled Mia closer and whispered his suspicion, "Mia, I think that Byrne boy has ulterior motives for my daughter."

How did her simple-minded father figure that out?

Soon, Leo also returned. Seeing his father and Mia whispering and holding drinks, he asked, "What are you guys talking about? Let me in on it."

Hansen turned his face away dismissively, "It's adult business. Why are you so nosy?"

Leo huffed. He quietly took a seat on a nearby couch.

Remembering something, Mia turned to Hansen, "Dad, if your grand-daughter was pregnant, would you hug her waist?"

"Could it be that you're expecting a girl?" Hansen was inexplicably happy. Could he be having both a grandson and a grand-daughter?

Leo's gaze also shifted to Mia's stomach. Was he getting a sister?

Mia shook her head, dashing Hansen's hopes, "It's a boy."

Hansen's joy deflated instantly. In a slightly sulky tone, he said, "I don't have a grand-daughter, so I wouldn't know."

He was still waiting for Mia to promise to give him a grand-daughter for his second child.

Mia asked again, "What if your daughter was pregnant? Would you hug her then?"

Hansen stared at his seemingly deranged daughter-in-law and retorted, "Am I insane?"

Then, Hansen added, "Her husband should be the one to do that. Even a father has to have boundaries with his daughter. What kind of question is that?" Hansen added dismissively, "Waste of breath. Pointless and boring."

Hansen then went back to enjoying his juice.

However, Mia's expression turned serious, "Dad, I saw Finley today. The same Finley who tricked you into drinking lemonade, caused you to sprain your ankle and land in the hospital, and constantly held down my brother's promotion. And... well, the one who's always at odds with our family."

Hearing the sour past being brought up, Leo silently got up and left the living room.

But Hansen told his daughter-in-law, "Mia, don't mention seeing Finley and that pregnant woman to others."

Mia pouted and obediently nodded.

"Andre, come to the study with me."

The Cedillo family's living room was left with Mia, who also quickly left the living room.

Over at the Byrne family's...

Chad finally made it back home, immediately asking his sister if Jack had made any contact with her.

Molly shook her head, "He called twice after you left, then I had exams and was busy studying. He hasn't called since, probably got the hint."

Chad felt a weight lift off his chest; he was always worried someone would make a move on Molly when he wasn't around.

"And what about you, bro? Anybody shown interest in you?" Molly questioned with a detective-like intensity.

Chad responded, "Once they found out I had a 'girlfriend', no one's been giving me second glances."

"Give me your phone, let me see who you've added anyone on Facebook since you left."

Chad handed it over, "They're all, you know, family men, male colleagues." He didn't even add any married female colleagues, let alone single ones.

Molly took a quick scan and sure enough, they were all men.

Molly was as reassured as she could possibly be!
