Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 441

Andre was speechless. If he wanted to listen to his unborn son’s heartbeat, he’d wait until his young wife fell asleep, and then he’d listen in. Why would he need to pay?

“How much did you spend?” Between his father and his wife, Andre shamelessly sided with his wife. He led his father to believe that he too had paid.

Hansen realized he had actually gotten a bargain, and he was grinning from ear to ear. “Ah, I paid $8888 too.”

He thought he’d gotten a great deal and was worried that Andre would be upset if he found out he’d paid less. Earlier that day, Mia quietly reminded him, “Dad, my husband paid $8888. Don’t let him know you paid less. It might cause some friction between us.”

Hansen left cheerfully.

Andre was a little worried about his father’s naivety.

Back in the bedroom, Mia was already curled up in bed, waiting for him with a gleeful look.

Andre approached and sat on the edge of the bed. “How much did you trick my dad into paying today?”

“Just for good luck, I had him pay $7777, so he could listen to our son’s heartbeat for free.”

Andre looked at his money-loving wife. “Mia, listen to my advice. Don’t ever go into business. I’m afraid you might swindle people to death.”

Mia rolled over from the bed and snuggled up to Andre’s side. “It’s not that scary. I’m just trying to get money from the rich.”

Mia nestled against her husband and asked softly, “Honey, has Mr. Marlow been arrested?”

Andre turned to look at his wife who was asking cautiously.

Mia quickly explained why she had made that assumption. “I’ve been bored lately, watching the news with your dad. I noticed that Mr. Marlow’s position is now held by someone else and his role is temporarily filled by another person. But if you don’t want me to know, you don’t have to tell me.”

Seeing her husband’s inquisitive gaze, she quickly explained that she didn’t need an answer. The more sensitive and cautious she was, the more Andre didn’t have the heart to refuse. He was even more surprised that Mia, a delicate woman, could speculate so much from watching the news.

“The situation is confidential, and hasn’t been announced publicly. Mr. Marlow is currently being detained. The case is so significant that all information is being tightly controlled. Don’t mention this when you’re chatting with friends on your phone. Just act as if you don’t know. Don’t talk about this with Molly and Leo. Chad uncovered a big case, so he can’t even go home now. He’s under investigation.”

“Ah? Molly must be worried sick.”

At the Byrne household.

Molly hadn’t seen Chad for a week. She only knew that five days ago, Chad had called her to tell her to stay home, not to wander around, and to take care of herself. He said he was going on a training program for a few days. Her intuition told her this was an excuse, but for Chad’s peace of mind, she agreed.

These past few days, their father rarely came home, leaving Molly and her mother to look after the grandparents.

She’d tried calling Chad several times, but no one picked up. Molly spent every day worrying, and she wasn’t the only one. Coleen was too distracted to work.

After work one evening, Molly went to her brother’s workplace to look for him, only to find that Donnie wasn’t there either.

She also ran into Stephania, Donnie’s girlfriend, who was looking for him.

“Your boyfriend’s missing too?” Molly asked.

Stephania said, “Your boyfriend’s missing too?”
