Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 386

Holly couldn’t read Mia’s expression, but she nodded with a grin. “Yeah.”

Soon, a nurse approached Holly. “Hello, your family member just went to move the car and asked me to let you know that once your examination is over, you can find him in the parking lot.”

Mia was about to ask something else when Holly abruptly got up to leave. “I should get going. We can catch up next time.”

Mia smiled and nodded. “We’re also about to leave. See you next time.”

As Holly disappeared into the elevator, Mia puffed her cheeks and let out a deep breath. “Gosh, anything really can happen in this world.”

She spun around, searching for the father and son who were chatting in the hallway. She quickly darted over to them. “I’ve got some big news that will blow your minds!”

Hansen looked down on his daughter-in-law. “What news? You look like you’ve discovered some great secret or something.”

What Mia revealed next left Hansen and his son in shock. “Holly is the pregnant girl we’ve been talking about. The baby isn’t her bodyguard’s, and it’s not connected with the secret child of Finley. It’s actually Finley’s!”

Her words impacted them like a stone dropped into a still lake, sending ripples through their thoughts.

Shocked, Hansen was at a loss for words. Mia took this opportunity to tease him, “Look at my dad, so shocked by something so simple. We were just talking about who the father of the baby is, and it’s like I’ve scared him silly.”

Hansen and his son exchanged a glance, both bewildered.

Mia looked back and forth between them like a clueless child, not understanding their silent communication. Later, she stepped between them, holding Andre’s hand. “Honey, what were you and dad silently communicating about? Let me in on it too.”

Hansen asked his daughter-in-law, “How did you find out? Why would she tell a stranger something like that?”

Mia replied, “Dad, you’re underestimating me. Do you think I would be stupid enough to directly ask? She would definitely feel embarrassed and not tell me.”

“Instead, I asked her if her husband was also present for the checkup. Because she didn’t think I know who she is. She let her guard down and told me her husband’s driver accompanied her today.”

Smart Mia added, “I didn’t even get to ask her anything else before she had to leave. I couldn’t follow her too closely, or she would have suspected something.”

Hansen let out a surprised grunt. He had indeed underestimated Mia.

Their trip to the hospital was only for a simple checkup and consultation. It wasn’t time for the next prenatal visit yet, so they didn’t spend too much time there before leaving.

Mia didn’t tell Molly that they were leaving. As the car drove away from the hospital, Mia started chatting animatedly, patting her husband’s shoulder and reminding him to drive slowly. “Honey, drive slowly. I’m looking for a place.”

Andre pointed in a direction. “The bakery Is over there.”

“Wow, how do you know I am looking for a bakery?” Mia turned to look at her husband. Her eyes were full of surprise.

Andre chuckled indulgently. “Because I know you.”

She had been smelling the aroma from the bakery and couldn’t resist the temptation.

It was nearly eleven o’clock. The bakery wasn’t crowded. Andre parked the car temporarily on the side of the road, keeping the air conditioning on. He went to buy pastries for his wife and father while they stayed in the car.

“Donut.” Andre handed two bags of pastries to his wife. “Strawberry and coconut flavoured. Share them with dad.”

Mia grabbed a donut and handed it to her father in the back seat. “Dad, these are really delicious. You have to try them.”

Hansen took a bite and agreed, “The taste is indeed good. We’ve discovered another great bakery.”

Upon hearing this, Mia laughed, “Dad, you’re keeping up with the young generation.” She added, “We have to save some for Naomi. She should try them when we get home.”

After the Cedillo family left, Tom dared to bring Holly out. He questioned Holly about her earlier conversation with Mia, “What did you two talk about?”

Irritated by his aggressive tone, Holly retorted, “Nothing much. We’re both pregnant, so we were just talking about our babies.”

Tom warned her again, “You’re not allowed to interact with her. Are you not taking my words seriously?”

Holly felt like she was being suffocated. “What are you so afraid of?” she demanded. Her voice was raising in frustration. “I’m a human being, so I can make friends if I want. You’re just my husband’s chauffeur. You have no right to control me.”

After saying that, she stormed off, leaving Tom standing there in the hospital. He was there for more than just accompanying Holly for her checkup. He had another pressing matter to attend to - to check on Chad’s condition.

Tom had previously wrecked his car in an attempt to kill Chad, but the man had miraculously survived, much to Tom’s chagrin.

This miscalculation had caused Finley, his boss, to be furious.
