Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 447

He tossed the remaining rice into the trash bin, and grabbed the glass of warm water on the table, downing it in one gulp.

Ten minutes later, Mia received an empty lunchbox. She left with a satisfied smile.

Andre leaned back against his chair, touching his belly. Alice walked in, grinning. She knew everything.

“You’ve had it tough,” Alice teased.

Andre silently prayed that Mia would only visit once.

At four in the afternoon.

“Honey, what are you up to?” The office door was cracked open by a certain audacious individual. “I know you’ve had a long day at work, honey. I made you some clam chowder. Try it.”

Andre was silent. He stood up, swiftly tidying up the documents on his desk. “Mia, I have a meeting to attend. Take the chowder home for our dad to enjoy.”

“But dad already has some,” Mia argued. “Honey, eat before you go to your meeting.”

As Andre picked up his documents to leave, Mia opened the container. The chowder was brimming to the top, threatening to spill over onto her hand. Andre could see the steam still rising from it.

Andre swallowed hard, concerned that his wife might burn herself. He bent over and placed the container on his desk.

“Behave yourself, I’m off to a meeting.”

“Honey, just take a sip. I spent ages making it.”

Unable to resist his cute wife, Andre had no choice but to take a sip.

“Well.” Andre’s hand went to his throat as he eyed the strange soup. “Did you add butter?”

“Yes, honey. How does it taste?” Mia awaited his praise with eager eyes.

Andre complimented, “Delicious.”

Then, Andre quickly left the office. He called out to Noah, “Meeting.”

“Meeting?” Noah was confused.

Andre said, “An impromptu meeting. The topic: departmental reports.”

Noah was clueless about what was going on, as were the heads of other departments. Were there big changes in the company?

While the meeting was underway, Andre texted Alice, “Go to my office and usher Mia home.”

Alice found the CEO’s “cry for help” message quite amusing.

Half an hour later, Alice replied to Andre, “The wife has left.”

In the conference room, Andre suddenly announced, “Meeting dismissed.”

Everyone was speechless. The boss’ heart was so unpredictable.

Not long after Andre returned to his office, Alice appeared with a smile. “Boss, I reckon the little madam will be delivering her love-filled lunches to you for a few days. We might have to get used to her presence in the office.”

Andre was well aware of this. He had already instructed the domestic staff at home to support Mia’s culinary pursuits. He didn’t want to douse Mia’s enthusiastic flame.

“Get Noah in here.”

Noah entered shortly. “Boss, what’s going on today?”

Andre instructed, “Spread the word. The company may hold impromptu meetings at any time in the near future. We will continue with today’s meeting next time. And you, if you see my wife, immediately alert me to hold a meeting.”

Noah asked, “Are you having marriage troubles?” Why would he avoid his cute and soft little wife? Didn’t Andre always adore his cute wife?

Andre admonished, “I’m about to become a father. What marriage troubles?”

Noah was taken aback, while Alice chuckled.

Eventually, Noah learned from Alice why the boss was avoiding his wife. “Love can be a burden too,” Noah mused.
