Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 313

Chad was thinking about Andre and his naughty wife Mia. Still, with Mia being pregnant, Andre should be able to relax for a few months.

Men loved to talk about business over dinner. Mr. Kendrick said, "Chad, keep your guard up and watch your back."

Coleen immediately shot Mr. Kendrick a worried look, "What happened to Chad?"

Mr. Kendrick explained, "A few days ago, the higher-ups sent someone to re-investigate Officer Rubin's case. He's Mr. Marlow's student after all, and he snitched on Chad behind his back. Bruce and I intercepted him right away. Bruce used his position to vouch for Chad's innocence."

Mr. Kendrick and Chad were father and son, so they should avoid suspicion. But Bruce and Chad had no connection, and outsiders didn't know about their relationship, so Bruce managed to intercept the situation.

They only investigated Officer Rubin, without touching Chad's position.

Chad had heard about this. He said, "In our line of work, it's inevitable to step on some toes. I'll personally go to the Cedillo family in a few days to thank Bruce for his help."

"Don't. With everyone watching you like a hawk, if you go and get spotted, you'll definitely be investigated." Mr. Kendrick said.

Chad listened to Mr. Kendrick's advice, "Then I'll just send him a text to thank him."

"Hmm, that way, even if someone comes to investigate, there won't be any issues." Mr. Kendrick agreed.

At the dinner table, Mr. Kendrick shared some work wisdom with Chad, hoping it would be of help. Chad also told his parents about what had happened to Molly and the Cedillo family fifteen years ago. After hearing this, Mr. Kendrick frowned, "So, Mr. Marlow could be a suspect in the case from fifteen years ago."

"He has no motive." Chad said.

.....

The world of adults was complex and tedious. On the other side, the world of students was simple and fun.

Mia, Molly, and Leo always sat in the first row at school. Not because they loved to study, but because the back row required steps.

Molly, who had watched various TV shows and movies, fantasized, "Mia, what if a girl in our class likes Andre, then finds out you're pregnant, and she secretly pours water on the steps to make you slip and endanger the baby?"

Mia was speechless, thinking Molly's imagination was way too vivid.

Leo poured a cup of water on the steps, and Mia stepped on it, even rubbing her foot a couple of times. "The experiment proves, water isn't slippery." Mia said.

Molly asked, "What about oil?"

Leo retorted, "Who brings oil to class?"

Molly pondered, "No, it's safer to sit in the front row."

Eventually, the three of them sat in the corner of the first row.

Not many people knew Mia was pregnant, as she hadn't started showing yet. The Cedillo family also didn't make a big deal out of it, keeping everything low-key.

Mia found it challenging with so many classes,. Luckily, being pregnant allowed her to fall asleep quickly.

When she returned to her apartment at noon, she had a few bites before falling asleep. By the time she woke up, the maid had already prepared fresh food for her.

Andre deliberately cut down on his social obligations. He told Alice and Noah, "Mia's pregnant. If I come home drunk, I won't be able to keep her company."

Alice happily said, "Congratulations."

Noah also excitedly said, "Andre, you're finally going to be a dad. Congratulations."
