Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance
Chapter 770

Mia took a swing at her brother, but Cooper, having been on the receiving end of her kicks for years, saw it coming. He dodged effortlessly as she aimed her foot at him. Henry, watching the scene, found himself liking his uncle even more.

"Sweetie, what's up with those two? Are they giving Cooper a hard time?" Mia asked.

Andre simply replied, "No."

"Then what are they up to?" Mia pressed, her curiosity piqued.

Andre knew his wife all too well-if he said they were admirers, she'd be on cloud nine for days. So he fibbed without even blinking, "They're just some loan sharks." "Loan sharks? No way! We're broke! I'm a total cheapskate!" Mia's frugal side kicked in instantly.

Cooper glanced at his brother-in-law in surprise, while Andre smiled with satisfaction. "Exactly, we don't know them. Just stay away, and if they try to talk to you, just say 'no!"" Mia nodded earnestly, "Got it, love. I always listen to you."

Cooper clapped in admiration as they headed downstairs.

Walking between the two men, Mia carried a small bundle of joy in her arms.

"Why are you clapping?" Mia turned to ask her brother, with Henry mimicking her and looking at his uncle.

Cooper replied, "I admire my brother-in-law."

"Why do you admire him?" Mia turned to ask her husband, with Henry copying her again.

Andre said, "Because I'm his brother-in-law."

Mia muttered under her breath about asking a silly question and exchanged a look with her son.

Instead of returning to the hotel, Andre drove them straight to dinner.

That evening, Henry was left with his uncle, much to Cooper's delight and Mia's dismay.

"Honey, what did I do wrong this time? Why are you mad at me?" Mia, with her keen intuition, found herself pinned down and immediately asked, her voice tinged with a whine. "Am I mad?" Andre asked.

Mia nodded, and then her clothes started coming off.

"Honey, didn't you promise to sleep with the kids tonight? What's going on?" she protested.

As her husband pulled her skirt down further, she whispered urgently, "Honey, what's wrong? You said no sleeping!"

Andre paused, looking at his wife. "I want you to look more like a married woman."

Mia, puzzled, frowned: How did this make her look more married?

Sighs and whispers soon replaced their conversation, filling the room with an intimate ambiance.

Meanwhile, Cooper and little Henry bonded quickly, engaging in a video call with Aaron and Madison.

"Henry, let grandma and grandpa see you."

Hearing his name, Henry turned, saw the faces on the phone, and then went back to nuzzling against his uncle's cheek.

Henry's enthusiasm caused his little nose to wrinkle as he tried to "talk."

Every time Henry cuddled up to him, Cooper's heart melted. He loved his nephew dearly, even joking about wanting another sibling for Henry but promising always to cherish him. Late at night, Mia wrapped herself in a blanket, setting a boundary between her and Andre. But soon, Andre returned with a sleeping bundle, erasing the boundary once again. Exhausted, Mia fell asleep holding her little one.

During their time abroad, due to the time difference, the family rarely video chatted. Wherever they went, Cooper was always there, carrying Henry.

He even dropped him off at school, with Mia and Henry waiting at the classroom door.

Unable to reach, Mia tiptoed to tug on her brother's ear.

Cooper bent down to do the same to Mia.

Henry then looked curiously at his father's ear...

On a weekend trip to a scenic area with Cooper, they unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance of Andre.

After a brief exchange, Andre explained they were visiting because Mia missed her brother, who was studying there, and decided to make a vacation out of it after his exams. "Come take a photo with me, honey," Mia called out to Andre.

After promising to catch up another time, Andre joined his family, taking photos with Cooper playing the photographer.

The night at the scenic area brought more banter and shared photos within the family chat, revealing a slice of their life to those back home.

Back in their country, the plan was to let Henry adjust to the time difference with his grandparents, highlighting the family's tight-knit bonds and the adventures they shared together.

Compared to the antics of the Cedillo family's uncles and nephews, Mia suddenly felt like the epitome of filial piety. "Honey, let's try to earn some good karma here. Dad's getting on in years, and with Henry having to adjust to the time difference when he gets back, can you imagine him staying up all night without sleep? Would Dad really be able to handle that?"
