Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 434

Cooper didn’t find out about his sister and brother-in-law’s marital strife until the next day. He noticed

Mia’s downcast mood during a video call. Being intuitive, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

After hanging up, he got the scoop from their parents.

“You’re saying my sister was online looking up info about my brother-in-law’s mistress?” Cooper was

incredulous. Ignoring his mother’s advice, he dialed Andre’s number.

Andre was slightly taken aback when he received a call from his brother-in-law, but he quickly

connected the dots, suspecting it had to do with the tension between him and Mia. He answered the

call with a hint of apprehension.

Right off the bat, Cooper blurted out, “Are you cheating?!”

Andre was stunned. Realizing there might be a misunderstanding, he immediately denied it, “Your

sister is the only woman in my life. Who would I cheat with?”

Cooper was on his way to the airport, planning to fly back home. If Andre was truly having an affair, he

needed to be there to support his sister.

But Andre’s words stopped him in his tracks. He wasn’t cheating?

“Did Mia tell you I am cheating?” Andre countered.

Mia had started slinging mud so soon? Was his love for her so frail that it would falter after just one day

apart, leading to infidelity?

Cooper told him, “My sister was secretly looking up your mistress online yesterday, and my mom saw

her search history.”

Andre chuckled. “I see.”

After hanging up, Cooper was left in a daze. Should he still go home? He decided to make the trip. He

hadn’t seen his sister and his adorable future nephew in a while.

...

The Irvin’s home was finally graced by the presence of their son-in-law.

When Andre’s car pulled up in the driveway, Madison felt a sense of relief. Andre walked into the living

room, where his mother-in-law was waiting. His mind wandered to her cunning ways.

“Madison, where’s Mia?” he asked.

Without revealing her daughter’s whereabouts, Madison asked, “You’ve wrapped up work? What

brought you here all of a sudden?”

Andre didn’t beat around the bush. “If I did not come, I might be accused of having an illegitimate child.”

Hearing her son-in-law’s blunt joke, Madison realized their marital issues weren’t caused by a third

party’s interference. “She’s in her bedroom. Go ahead.”

“Thanks,” Andre suddenly expressed his gratitude.

Madison responded modestly, “I merely pointed you in the right direction. There’s no need to thank

me.”

Andre was insightful. He replied, “It’s not just about pointing me in the right direction. It’s also about that

phone call.”

A glimmer of appreciation flashed through Madison’s eyes. Her son-in-law had understood her intent.

She had intentionally let slip during her call with Cooper about Mia’s online search. If Andre was indeed

unfaithful, Cooper wouldn’t be able to bear it.

As parents, they didn’t want to meddle in their children’s marital affairs. However, Cooper was on the

same generational level as them. Moreover, as Mia’s brother, he had every right to confront Andre.

Andre would then be aware of his wife’s suspicions.

If Andre was truly unfaithful, Cooper would likely lose his temper and call Madison, urging her to keep

Mia away from the Cedillo family.

If Andre wasn’t cheating but found out about Mia’s online search, he would immediately clear up the

misunderstanding. After all, Mia was pregnant. Any misunderstanding could harm both the mother and

child, which was something no one could bear.

“Just go upstairs.”

Andre turned and headed upstairs.

In the bedroom, Mia was feeling sorrowful and despondent. Just as she was about to break down, the

bedroom door suddenly opened. A familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.

Seeing the unexpected visitor, Mia was startled. She blinked in disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Her nose tingled, and her eyes sparkled.

Before she even started crying, the sound of her whimpering echoed in Andre’s mind. He walked in,

looking at his pitiful little wife. Even without saying a word, she looked like she was on the verge of

breaking down.

Before he could get closer, the pregnant woman quickly moved from one side of the bed to the other. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Then she got off the bed and hid in the corner by the window.

Andre was taken aback. He hadn’t even started scaring her, but she was already hiding. In that case,

Andre closed the door and sat on the vanity stool, maintaining a distance of about 10 feet.

He decided to give her a little scare. Seeing her pouty face and tears, Andre didn’t comfort her.

“Why are you hiding so far away?”

He could hear her soft voice saying, “I’m afraid you’ll hit me.”

Andre was taken aback. Even if he was the worst man in the world, he knew he could never lay a hand

on a woman, let alone his beloved wife.

Seeing the curtain almost covering her, Andre decided not to pacify her just yet. Instead, he asked,

“Who told you I’ve been seeing someone else?”

The heavy curtain was covering Mia’s face, only revealing her round belly.

She quickly pinned the curtain behind her with her right hand. Her tear-filled eyes looked at Andre, and

she looked incredibly pitiful.

“Leo said that you might not be able to handle the loneliness during my pregnancy and that you

wouldn’t refuse a woman who throws herself at you.”

Andre thought about his nephew who deserved a beating. Again? It was always him! Did he think he

had nine lives?

“I’ll settle the score with him later. Come sit here.” He tapped the vanity table.

Andre felt a pang of pain in his heart. “If you keep standing, your legs will swell up again tonight.”

Mia was puzzled. How did her husband know her legs were swelling? It must have been her mother

who told him downstairs.

Since she wasn’t moving, Andre stood up and walked over to her.

Mia instinctively raised her hand in resistance, backing up until her back hit the wall.

“Back up again,” Andre dared her.

Mia glanced up at his cold face before lowering her gaze.

Mia pouted. “It’s not swollen anymore.”

He pressed gently. His brow furrowed. Then, he inspected the other foot, drawing his conclusion,

“There’s still a bit of swelling.”

Mia glanced at her feet, cradled in her husband’s hands. Despite his evident love and care for her, she

couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t sought her out the day before.
