Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 406

It was indeed strange that his sister was now looking after his brother-in-law.

Cooper sent another text, [Did you drug Andre or something?]

Andre, who was peeping at it, couldn’t help but smirk.

Mia replied, [No need for drugs. I could charm him to lose his consciousness in a minute.]”

Cooper answered, [You are really shameless. I don’t know what to say.]

Mia seemed puzzled. [Have you been taking lessons from Molly?] She was so out of her depth with the insults being thrown at her.

It was already eleven o’clock. Andre couldn’t pretend anymore. He took away his wife’s phone from behind.

“Huh?” Mia looked up, following the direction of the phone. Her bright, shiny eyes reminded Andre of a glass globe filled with water, exceptionally adorable. She tried to reach for the phone, only to find that her husband, who was supposed to be asleep, was now wide awake.

“Honey, was I disturbing you with my chatting?”

Andre, holding his wife’s phone in one hand, texted Cooper, [Focus on your studies. I’ll put your sister to bed first.]

[Did my sister wake you up with her nonsense?]

Mia stretched her arm to grab the phone. “Give me the phone, honey. I’ll shut him up with one last message and then go to sleep. Cooper says I’m annoying; I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t retaliate.”

Andre’s arms were longer, so he simply raised the phone out of her reach. He texted, [If you can’t beat your sister, don’t try to mimic Molly’s sharp tongue. Once she gives birth, I won’t be able to control her anymore.]

Then he pressed send.

Satisfied, Mia withdrew her arm back under the blanket. “Exactly, he is bullying me because I am pregnant and can’t fight back.”

Andre patted her shoulder. “Close your eyes. Let’s sleep.”

In time, Mia snuggled into her husband’s arms. Her small face was pressing against his body, and soon her breathing became steady. Only then did Andre allow himself to fall asleep.

The following weekend, Leo made a surprise visit. “Where’s Andre?” Mia simply pointed upstairs.

Leo hastily climbed the stairs three at a time to find Andre. Mia and Molly exchanged puzzled glances. “What’s up?”

“I have no clue.”

Naomi, noticing the two girls’ growing curiosity, admonished, “Both of you, sit properly in the living room.”

The curious sisters huddled together, whispering between themselves.

Leo informed Andre, “Andre, the test results are in. There’s no brain damage; all their vitals are normal.”

Leo handed over the data to Andre. “They’re faking it. I listened to Molly’s advice and threw a snake at them. Their instinctive reactions can’t lie. Chad watched the video too, and he agrees they’re play-acting.”

Leo also handed over the video for Andre to inspect. In the video, the father and son seemed initially frightened by the snake, but a moment later, they continued to wave their sleeves around to keep the snake at bay.

Leo showed another video to Andre. “This is how actual patients react to a snake.”

In the video, the real patients chased after the snake fearlessly, even trying to catch it, showing no fear. They seemed oblivious to the fact that it was a snake.

The difference was glaring.

Leo had tried all day to get them to talk, but failed that. Therefore, he came back to inform Andre.

“Andre, they’re scared of you. Could you try to intimidate them?”

Andre put down the documents he was reading. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. What could have happened to these two that they had to feign madness to avoid trouble?
