Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 137

Leo asked her, "Aren't you gonna get dolled up a bit?"

"Do I look like I'm in the mood to dress up?" She grabbed Leo and hurriedly headed out.

Meanwhile, Hansen was still lounging on the living room couch, busy with his new social media app.

He browsed through Mia's page, then went on to check his grandson’s page.

Not only was he liking and commenting on everyone's posts, he was also playing around with emojis.

He was chilling there, completely clueless that his grandson and daughter-in-law were running around like headless chickens.

Leo drove to Andre's company, only to find out he wasn't there.

The on-duty staff informed her, "Mrs. Cedillo, Mr. Cedillo hasn't been here all day."

"Where does Andre usually hang out then?"

The staff, not daring to pry into their superior’s whereabouts, suggested, "You should ask Alice and Noah."

"Give me the phone. I'll ask right now."

Mia dialed the number given to her by the staff. She took three deep breaths, stared at the phone for three seconds, then finally hit the call button.

Once the call connected, Mia regained her composure.

She asked, "Hello Alice, this is Mia, Andre's wife."

"Mrs. Cedillo?"

Mia nodded and then said, "Alice, I need a favor. I want to surprise Andre, but I don’t know his usual hangouts. Can you help? And please, don't let him know."

Alice, cautious, asked Mia, "Mrs. Cedillo, why do you want to surprise Mr. Cedillo?" There was no special occasion or holiday, and it was odd to suddenly plan a surprise. Plus, didn't she just send him flowers yesterday?

Mia said, "Isn't the expensive bracelet worth me planning a surprise for him?"

"That was Mr. Cedillo's apology to you."

"Alice, you seem to know quite a lot. Not only do you strategize for him, you also know him very well. You even know whether he wants a surprise!" The annoyance in Mia's voice was hard to miss.

Alice sensed Mia's displeasure. He hesitated for a moment, then gave Mia two addresses.

"Any other places?"

"I only know these two." Alice was still holding back.

Mia narrowed her eyes. She said, "Alice, I know my husband well enough. The TranquilBlossom Café is where he entertains elders. He wouldn't go there often. The Crescent Park is where he socializes—you do not expect me to surprise him at a hotel, do you?"

Alice had been working for Andre for years, how could she only know two places?

Alice then asked, "Mrs. Cedillo, if you want to know more, then please tell me why you want to surprise Mr. Cedillo? Otherwise, I cannot divulge everything. As Mr. Cedillo's chief of staff, I need to keep all things about Mr. Cedillo confidential."

"I'm pregnant and want to surprise him. Is that reason good enough?"

Leo, standing beside her, was so surprised he could've fit a whole egg in his mouth.

He was dumbstruck, looking at Mia. How could she announce her "pregnancy" so casually?

Even the on-duty staff standing nearby looked surprised, glancing at Mia's flat belly. Could her slender waist really be hiding a baby?

Oh boy!

On the other end of the phone, Alice brightened up—so it was good news.

He wanted to probe more, but he didn't want to offend Mia completely.

So, Alice told her all the potential places Andre might be.

"Mrs. Cedillo, congratulations."

"Thank you."

With that, Mia hung up.

She grabbed Leo's sleeve, leading him to the executive elevator.

"Mia, you're really pulling out all the stops. You can even tell such a big lie about being pregnant?"

"Leo, if Andre dares to cheat, I'll make him pay."

Leo said, "…Isn't that a bit harsh?"

Mia looked at Leo, "Take care of yourself. You might be the only hope for the Cedillo family's future."
