Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 93

The man was calm when he said it, even though his wife was acting impulsively. Instead, he had this subtle smile on his face the whole time.

"Mia, you've taken everything that was supposed to be mine," Jillian spat out spitefully.

Hansen Cedillo finally spoke up. "You're just after what's not yours. We, the Cedillo family, would rather have Andre stay a bachelor his whole life than let you become a part of us."

"Why? Why?" Jillian started to cry. She had been by Andre's side for fifteen years, wasn't that enough to be accepted by the Cedillo family? "Why is it that Naomi, with her background, can marry into the Cedillo family? I've been with Andre for fifteen years, and I've never done anything wrong, why can't I?"

Hansen snorted. "Your personality... it stinks."

Mia had just smacked someone and was feeling pretty good about it. She was thinking in her head, “what's the deal with my sister-in-law's background? Isn't Naomi the darling daughter of the Mastin family? Why is Jillian looking down at her, and why did Hansen say I'm different from Naomi this morning? We're both from rich families, so why did he say we're different?”

The last time Andre addressed Jillian, he didn't do it in front of his wife. This time, he spoke up again. "There's nothing between us. It's just a delusion you've been holding onto. The fifteen years you mentioned mean nothing more to me than just knowing you for fifteen years. Whatever debt we owed your family, the Cedillo family has already paid it off. If you keep trying to stir up trouble and disrupt my family, I won't go easy on you. And tell your father this, the Cedillo family and the Marshal family are not old friends!"

After seeing the clear disdain from Andre and Hansen, Jillian left with her cheeks swollen from the slap.

Downstairs, Barbara was shocked when she saw her cousin. "What happened to you?"

Wiping her tears, Jillian's eyes were filled with hatred. "Mia, this isn't over between us."

Upstairs, Mia sat down, feeling pretty good. She couldn't help but get curious. "Honey, what did you guys mean by owing her family a favor? What's the deal with Naomi's background? Why did Jillian sound so condescending when she mentioned Naomi? And how did she know we were here? Honey, are you sure there's nothing between you two?"

Hansen and Andre looked at each other across the table, neither answering her questions.

"Me and her?" Andre chuckled, smoothing his wife's hair.

"You've never had dinner alone, watched a movie, or gone shopping together?"

Hansen cast a glance at him. "He's too busy with Cedillo Inc. to do any of that."

Mia nodded, it did make sense. Her father had always said Andre was basically working 24/7.

Andre's hand moved to his wife's belly. "How many months along is our baby?"

Mia bit her lip, looking down at his hand on her stomach. She looked up at him and giggled, "Hehe, it’s my food baby~"

Andre said, "And he's already kicking you ?"

"Mhm, my intestines are moving, isn't that like him kicking me?"

Andre didn't know how to respond to his wife.

"Mia, are you always this hot-tempered?" Hansen remembered how his daughter-in-law just slapped someone without saying a word.

He'd seen a lot, but Mia's sudden action really caught him off guard. Then he thought about how they were still getting used to living together, and how every meal felt like a battlefield.

Pouting, Mia denied it. "I'm really well-behaved, I never lose my temper, and I'm really cute. Leo always protects me at school so I don't get bullied."

Hansen looked at his petite and cute daughter-in-law, thinking she couldn't possibly be a hot-headed person.

"Maybe I'm overthinking things."

"You definitely are. How can someone as sweet as me have a bad temper?" Mia quickly refilled Hansen's water glass.

Andre stayed quiet, remembering how his wife seemed to have a habit of hitting people.

But he didn't expose her. As long as she was cute in his arms, that was enough.
