Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 26

He suddenly realized that every single piece of clothing in the walk-in closet was his, and not a single

one belonged to her. Other than the closet, it seemed like there were no traces of her belongings

anywhere in the house.

Andre’s gaze fell upon a few rolling suitcases tucked away in the corner. Could all her stuff be

in there?

“Mia, where do you keep your clothes?”

Mia pointed at the suitcases, “In there, I haven’t been using your closet or drawers.”

“Why not?”

She casually lied, “I didn’t want to.”

After saying this, Mia took a hair tie and casually tied her long hair back.

She suddenly looked more refreshed. She asked, “Are you done with your morning routine? If so, it’s

my turn.”

Andre gave her some space and Mia began her routine.

Andre was in the doorway, looking through the mirror of the sink at the girl who was freshening

up.

He was confused. What kind of girl was she? She seemed to have two sides to her, one being arrogant

and the other being understanding.

If anyone messed with her, she would clap back in an instant. She showed no fear. Yet, she refused to

sleep in his bed and always chose the couch instead. This distance made him feel a

certain fondness for her.

She would rather starve than eat the sandwich he made for her. But ever since she married into the

Cedillo family, she never invaded his personal space.

Andre crossed his arms and watched the girl with a face full of foamy cleanser. He was puzzled

but didn’t probe further.

Curiosity was the start of emotions. Once he started to get curious about her, he would subconsciously

observe her and slowly understand her. When it came to understanding someone, you would actively

try to get to know them and things can become dangerous…

Mia felt like every meal in the Cedillo family was a form of torture.

As they were about to head downstairs in the morning, Mia said to Andre again, “Let’s move out and

live on our own.”

Andre was walking ahead and turned to tell her, “I’ll think about it.”

Mia caught up to Andre, grabbed his sleeve and said in a pleasing tone, “Stop thinking about it,

moving out will only bring benefits and no harm. Surely you don’t want to keep seeing those long faces

at home and being restrained by all these rules, right?”

In the Cedillo family, only Andre could take her out now. Even if she could afford to rent a place herself, Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

she couldn’t do it now. The strict rules of the Cedillo family would never allow her to make such a

decision on her own.

“No one dares to lose their temper at me at home, and the rules here can’t restrain me.”

To put it bluntly, he just didn’t want to move out.

He deliberately let Mia live here to let her suffer under Naomi’s bullying.

Mia was a smart girl and immediately caught on to his intentions.

With a slight frown, she said, “Andre, are you a man? When I’m bullied, the one who should feel

humiliated is you.”

“I don’t mind.”

Last night, Hansen was late to dinner and Naomi started arguing with Mia. This morning, he absolutely

couldn’t be late again. The tension from last night’s argument still lingered, and if another argument

broke out this morning, the peace at home would be shattered.

So, Hansen left the room early again this morning. And by chance, he bumped into the newlyweds

chatting. He walked over and asked, “What are you guys talking about?”

Mia and Andre simultaneously turned their heads to look at Hansen approaching.

Hansen’s gaze fell on Mia’s hand gripping Andre’s wrist. Andre also looked down at the small hands

that clung to his wrists, then slowly raised his head along them to meet Mia’s eyes.

Upon realizing this, Mia quickly withdrew her hands, held them behind her back and said obediently, “I

didn’t mean to.”
