Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 311

Mia looked at her husband, "Just to be on the safe side, you'd better sleep in the guest room."

Andre chuckled and said, "All right."

His brother-in-law was leaving soon, so it wasn't a big deal to stay in the guest room for a few days.

Mia instantly got what her husband was thinking. He always had a knack for keeping his cool.

The next day, the Irvins took Cooper to visit the Cedillos. As soon as they walked in, Hansen had a gift ready for Cooper.

"Why are you giving me a present?" Cooper asked.

Hansen replied, "This gift was meant to give to you last year, but you weren't around, so I'm doing it now."

Cooper declined, "I don't want it."

But Mia's eyes were glued to the gift. Andre covered his wife's eyes with his hand and whispered in her ear, "If you're jonesing for a gift, I'll hook you up with one tonight. Don't be green-eyed about Cooper. This present is for him. You can't be envious."

"I know, honey. I was just having a gander." Mia brushed Andre's hand away.

Later on, Aaron and Madison convinced his son to accept the gift.

It was only then that Cooper realized Hansen's real intention. Despite his seemingly harmless demeanor, Hansen had made his mark in both politics and business. He was no pushover, how could he be just a simple old man?

Hansen was offering a gift as soon as Cooper walked in. If Cooper accepted, it meant he was accepting his ties with the Cedillos, effectively killing any chance of him warning the Cedillos. He couldn't outright blow the whistle on Andre, and he couldn't come off too harsh. Hansen's cunning was something to be admired.

At that moment, Andre understood his father's intentions. He had deliberately covered his wife's eyes to prevent her from grabbing Cooper's gift.

Now, Cooper was a bit peeved. He couldn't utter the crucial words he wanted to.

Hansen, eyes sparkling with wisdom, said, "Molly, Leo, why don't you show Cooper around, help him get familiar with the place."

"Sure." They took Cooper and left.

After a while, Naomi handed Mia a glass of juice. Before Mia could finish it, she was handed a peeled egg. Mia was in the middle of eating when another peeled egg was handed to her. Since Mia was pregnant, she had to have a separate meal prepared.

At lunch, Cooper glanced at his sister's plate. All sorts of soups, boiled vegetables, and milk. This was what she had to eat!

Their food, on the other hand, was a smorgasbord of seafood, turkey and all sorts of delicacies.

Mia drooled over their food. She looked at her own food, bland and unappetizing, and felt queasy. She clenched her fists on the table, showing her dissatisfaction to everyone.

The maid wasn't sure if Mia wanted to continue eating, so she looked at Hansen, who was trying to placate Mia, "Mia, if you want to eat what we're eating, wait a few months. After the baby's born, we can indulge in these delicacies."

"Dad, that's so not fair." Mia said.

"I know. I love you the most." Hansen replied.

Molly agreed with her father at the table, "Dad, you're the man of the year, one of a kind."

Mia didn't realize how wise her father-in-law was. She turned to her husband, ready to act cute. However, Andre told the maid, "Keep doing your work."

The maid got the instruction and continued with her work.

Mia looked unhappily at everything in front of her. No one was looking out for her; all they cared about was the baby in her tummy.

During the meal, Andre tasted a bit of the delicacy in front of him, then used his fork to pick up a little more, and publicly fed it to his cute wife who was sipping her soup and looking a bit peeved.

Mia opened her mouth and he fed her directly.
