Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 481

Mia bit her lip in frustration. “Hubby, when are you going broke?”

Laughter rang out around them. Most wives would wish for their husbands to be wealthy, but in a

surprising twist, Mia hoped for the exact opposite.

Andre playfully nudged his wife’s nose. “That might be a bit difficult.”

Molly chimed in, turning to her father. “Dad, do I get a reward if I have a daughter?”

Hansen’s expression hardened. “Why are you even talking about having kids? You shouldn’t even be Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

thinking about marriage. Isn’t it great to be a carefree rich lady?”

On this point, Kendrick and Hansen were in agreement. “There are so many independent women these

days. You can be happy without getting married. Marriage just brings endless troubles from the in-laws.

Why put yourself through that?”

Molly was speechless. Why did her family have a double standard?

“Mia, go back and divorce Andre. Didn’t you hear what your father-in-law said? What’s so great about

marriage? Isn’t being single fantastic?” Molly was known for her sharp tongue.

She then turned to Anya, who was always by Leo’s side. “Anya, don’t marry Leo, okay? Why bother

with marriage and children? Just be the spoiled princess of your family.”

Finally, she looked at Chad. “Don’t bother getting married. There are so many independent women

these days. We don’t need men.”

Anya’s cheeks turned a bright red when Molly mentioned her marrying Leo. “Aunt, stop making things

up.” Anya looked up at Leo. Her eyes were sparkling. Her face grew even hotter.

Leo didn’t notice Anya’s blushing face. He pointed at Molly. “I can’t wait to see how Andre is going to

deal with you.”

However, Andre simply looked at his wife and smiled. Then, he said to his sister, “Mia would never dare

to ask me for a divorce.”

Molly turned to Mia, who nodded in agreement. “Molly, Andre is rich. I’m not gonna divorce him.”

Andre was satisfied. Ms. Cedillo was disgusted. Leo, who was ready to fight, was displeased! Only

Hansen was visibly upset. His brow furrowed in anger.

Grandma Aubree watched her talented grandson. “Chad, you still need to get married. We can’t let the

Byrne family line end.”

Chad gave his grandmother a smile. His gaze flicked between his father and Hansen, who was also

advocating for Molly to stay single. His smile didn’t reach his eyes. He leaned back in his chair, with his

hand resting casually on his knee. His fingers gently tapped in rhythm as he lost himself in his

thoughts.

“Mia, are you planning to stay with us after giving birth?” Molly asked her best friend.

Mia shook her head. “No, I’ll be staying in Maplewood Estates. After the baby’s full month celebration,

I’ll consider coming back. My mom will take care of me, and it’s more convenient to stay in

Maplewood.”

The Cedillo family had discussed this with Mia for a long time. Naomi insisted she could take care of

Mia, but she had already helped quite a lot during Mia’s pregnancy. It would be better if Mia’s mom was

by her side. Also, Mia had a stubborn streak. She wanted to go back to Maplewood Estates

immediately after giving birth. After all, that was where her little family would be living.

Molly asked, “Can you save a room for me?”

“No problem.” Mia smiled and looked at Anya. “We’ll also save a room for our Anya. You’re always

welcome at Maplewood, dear.”

Anya always felt a warm sense of family from Mia. Even though Mia was only three years older than

her, she seemed to be more like an elder sister. She nodded. “Thank you, Auntie. I’ll come to visit.”

Everyone outside kept the conversation going. Whenever it seemed to be dying down, Mia and Molly

would find a way to bring up a new topic to keep everyone engaged and distract them from worrying

about Coleen Byrne, who was currently in surgery.

Grandma Aubree’s phone rang twice before she finally excused herself to answer it. “What is it?”

Juliana, Coleen’s sister-in-law, was calling to inquire about Coleen’s condition. None of her family was

present. “Mom, has Coleen’s surgery been successful?”

“The surgery hasn’t ended.” Grandma Aubree thought her daughter was worried about her sister-in-

law. This was already the second call.

However, Juliana asked, “Mom, it’s been so long. Is she okay? Did she leave a will? Do you know how

her estate will be divided? Is there anything for you and dad?”

Grandma Aubree was livid. “Juliana, are you just waiting for your sister-in-law’s will? You heartless girl!”

Grandma Aubree hung up the phone. Her arm was trembling with anger.

Chad approached. “Granny, we are not talking to them from now on”

Grandma Aubree said to her grandson. “Your aunt is getting more and more muddled.”

Grandma Aubree nodded. “I understand.”

“Let’s go.”

Coleen’s surgery lasted over four hours. The moment the operating room’s lights went off, everyone’s

heart jumped into their throats.

The doctor emerged, and everyone surrounded him. “How’s my wife?” Kendrick was the most anxious

of them all.
