Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 28

Mia said calmly, “If Andre truly loves Jillian, why doesn’t he marry her? Clearly, he doesn’t love

her.”

“Hah, Mia, look at yourself, you reek of cheapness. How did you even marry into this family? You and

Jillian are like the ugly duckling and the beautiful swan.”

Mia glanced at Naomi, her gaze finally landing on Naomi’s wrist, studying the familiar bracelet. “Yeah,

I’m cheap. You’re noble. Look at your million-dollar bracelet. Those in the know might know that money

was made by my husband, but those clueless ones might mistake your husband as one of the mayors

accused of corruption and bribery.”

“How dare you!” Hansen rebuked harshly.

His eyes were red from their squabble.”

Naomi had reached middle age yet she was still stu pid. Mia was young but outspoken and would say

anything. One brought up his least favorite Jillian, while the other said something absolutely

outrageous.

Bruce looked grim. “Mia, you’re young, so I won’t hold your words against you.”

He turned to Andre, “You need to keep your wife in check.”

Andre was shocked, but kept his cool. He gave a fake laugh, “Same goes for you.”

Hansen roared, “No more talking in the dining room. Whoever talks can get the hell out.”

As his words fell, the four of them stood up and, surprisingly, left the dining room together.

Hansen knocked over all the dishes on the table with his cane; he was so angry his hand was shaking.

Outside, the four split into two groups and went their separate ways.

Mia naturally followed Andre. “You saw it today, as long as I’m here, there won’t be peace in your

family.”

Andre turned, the morning sun shining on his face. Mia looked up at the man bathed in morning light,

hoping his character was as good as his looks.

Andre licked his teeth, his Adam’s apple moving. “I really didn’t expect you to say things like that.”

“So you’re not planning on moving out?”

Andre smirked, “That’s right.”

He added, “Anyway, it’s them you’re pi ssing off, not me.”

With that, he turned and walked towards his car with sunlight on his back. He had to go to work. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Mia was still on vacation, and watched as the car drove away. Her stomach grumbled…

She returned to her bedroom, locked the door, and slumped down on the couch.

Mia pouted, her eyes welling up. If her parents knew about her experience in the Cedillo family, they

would take her away without hesitation.

Mia missed her parents terribly.

Tears sliding down her cheeks, she buried her face in the couch armrest and wept quietly.

The hungrier she got, the more upset she became. “Mom, I miss your delicious cooking.”

It was clear what Andre meant. He wouldn’t leave.

Mia cried it out and cleared her head.

She still had 12 days until school started. Once school started, she would be free.

Mia realized she couldn’t keep offending people. Her morning provocation was not to argue with

Naomi, her real goal was to let Andre see that her words were too offensive, hoping he would take her

away from the Cedillo family soon. But things didn’t go as she hoped, she not only offended Bruce but

also angered Hansen, and her goal was not achieved.
