Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 144

Mia was glad her husband didn't have any exes, but was upset that he seemed to look down on her.

So, the poor driving hubby got his fair share of scratches from his feisty kitty, Mia.

Upon reaching the office, Andre led Mia by the hand to the elevator.

"So, I heard I'm becoming a 'daddy' again?"

Mia felt a little guilty thinking about what happened on Saturday.

Andre asked, "Is it a girl or a boy you're carrying this time?"

Mia replied,"It's my anger this time."

Andre cast a quick look at Mia, who had lowered her gaze. "Nice," he remarked, his voice gaining an edge.

As they stepped out of the elevator, all people in the office turned their attention to the pair.

The way everyone stared made Mia think back to the question Andre had posed inside the elevator.

Did they all know about her supposed "pregnancy"?

A wave of anxiety washed over her.

She gripped Andre's hand more firmly, taking refuge behind him. "Honey," she whispered, "does everyone know?"

"Yes, they all know."

Mia was on the verge of tears. She hadn't expected the news to spread so fast. She had only told a white lie.

"What should I do then? I don't have anything in my belly."

Andre felt needed at that moment.

"Tell them your anger has subsided, so there's no anger in your belly."

"How do I explain that? I... honey~"

Whenever Mia encountered a problem she couldn't solve, she started to act cute with Andre.

"Honey~ what should I do?"

Andre chuckled as he guided Mia into his office. Outside, the employees worked undisturbed, seemingly oblivious to their presence.

Inside, Mia's anxiety grew. "Honey, should I just come clean to them?"

Andre replied, "They won't buy it."

Growing more desperate, Mia grabbed the papers from Andre's grasp, disrupting his focus. "So, should I admit I deceived them?"

Andre responded, "That won't help either." He tried to continue reviewing the documents, but Mia intervened, closing the folder and forcing him to meet her worried gaze.

"If word gets out, it'll spell trouble for everyone."

"I can help you with your lie, but you have to promise me, let me sleep in the bedroom tonight."

"Deal! I promise you."

Mia agreed readily.

Triumphant, Andre got up and left the office.

He stood in front of the drink cabinet in the common rest area, picking out a drink for his cute wife.

Alice came over and asked, "Mr. Cedillo, you've managed to pacify Mrs. Cedillo so quickly?"

Andre chuckled to himself.

He had been hatching a plan in the elevator.

Why did he bring up her lie in the elevator? It was to plant a seed of guilt in her.

Once out of the elevator, when Mia saw everyone staring at her, her heart would panic.

Once panicked, she would lose all reason. Now all she wanted was to explain quickly and avoid any misunderstandings.

This was exactly what he wanted.
