Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 137

Leo asked her, "Aren't you gonna get dolled up a bit?"

"Do I look like I'm in the mood to dress up?" She grabbed Leo and hurriedly headed out.

Meanwhile, Hansen was still lounging on the living room couch, busy with his new social media app.

He browsed through Mia's page, then went on to check his grandson’s page.

Not only was he liking and commenting on everyone's posts, he was also playing around with emojis.

He was chilling there, completely clueless that his grandson and daughter-in-law were running around

like headless chickens.

Leo drove to Andre's company, only to find out he wasn't there.

The on-duty staff informed her, "Mrs. Cedillo, Mr. Cedillo hasn't been here all day."

"Where does Andre usually hang out then?"

The staff, not daring to pry into their superior’s whereabouts, suggested, "You should ask Alice and

Noah."

"Give me the phone. I'll ask right now."

Mia dialed the number given to her by the staff. She took three deep breaths, stared at the phone for

three seconds, then finally hit the call button.

Once the call connected, Mia regained her composure.

She asked, "Hello Alice, this is Mia, Andre's wife."

"Mrs. Cedillo?"

Mia nodded and then said, "Alice, I need a favor. I want to surprise Andre, but I don’t know his usual

hangouts. Can you help? And please, don't let him know."

Alice, cautious, asked Mia, "Mrs. Cedillo, why do you want to surprise Mr. Cedillo?" There was no

special occasion or holiday, and it was odd to suddenly plan a surprise. Plus, didn't she just send him

flowers yesterday?

Mia said, "Isn't the expensive bracelet worth me planning a surprise for him?"

"That was Mr. Cedillo's apology to you."

"Alice, you seem to know quite a lot. Not only do you strategize for him, you also know him very well.

You even know whether he wants a surprise!" The annoyance in Mia's voice was hard to miss.

Alice sensed Mia's displeasure. He hesitated for a moment, then gave Mia two addresses.

"Any other places?"

"I only know these two." Alice was still holding back.

Mia narrowed her eyes. She said, "Alice, I know my husband well enough. The TranquilBlossom Café

is where he entertains elders. He wouldn't go there often. The Crescent Park is where he socializes—

you do not expect me to surprise him at a hotel, do you?"

Alice had been working for Andre for years, how could she only know two places?

Alice then asked, "Mrs. Cedillo, if you want to know more, then please tell me why you want to surprise

Mr. Cedillo? Otherwise, I cannot divulge everything. As Mr. Cedillo's chief of staff, I need to keep all

things about Mr. Cedillo confidential."

"I'm pregnant and want to surprise him. Is that reason good enough?"

Leo, standing beside her, was so surprised he could've fit a whole egg in his mouth.

He was dumbstruck, looking at Mia. How could she announce her "pregnancy" so casually?

Even the on-duty staff standing nearby looked surprised, glancing at Mia's flat belly. Could her slender

waist really be hiding a baby?

Oh boy!

On the other end of the phone, Alice brightened up—so it was good news.

He wanted to probe more, but he didn't want to offend Mia completely.

So, Alice told her all the potential places Andre might be.

"Mrs. Cedillo, congratulations."

"Thank you."

With that, Mia hung up.

She grabbed Leo's sleeve, leading him to the executive elevator.

"Mia, you're really pulling out all the stops. You can even tell such a big lie about being pregnant?"

"Leo, if Andre dares to cheat, I'll make him pay."

Leo said, "…Isn't that a bit harsh?"

Mia looked at Leo, "Take care of yourself. You might be the only hope for the Cedillo family's future."

Leo was speechless.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

The elevator arrived, and Mia was the first to step out.

Behind her, Leo hurriedly followed.

"Mia, calm down! Andre is your husband, after all."

Mia ignored him, "Get in the car. We’re going to the StarStriker Arena first."

An hour later, they found the stadium deserted.

She then ordered, "Go to the EnchantedEssence Club."

Another hour passed, and she still hadn't found him.

Mia didn't give up. Getting back in the car, she said, "Go to Maplewood Estates."

Leo turned to look at the calm Mia.

He tried to dissuade her, "He hasn't been to Maplewood Estates in a long time."

"Go."

Leo had no choice but to drive to Maplewood Estates.

This was Mia's first visit to Andre's "home".

He loved black so much. Mia assumed his "home" would be black as well. To her surprise, Maplewood

Estates was a milky-white building.

Standing on a flat grassland, the white of Maplewood Estates and the green of the grass

complemented each other.

Such a fresh scene would soothe anyone's mind.

Mia unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

She walked up the steps to the front door, nervously looking at the entrance.

If she found Andre inside, she'd make him regret it.

What if he was really inside?

Mia fearfully walked up to the door, too nervous to knock.

She was scared of hearing voices inside, scared of witnessing a scene she didn't want to see.

Mia stared at the door for a long time. Finally, she mustered up the courage to knock twice.

Two soft knocks, as weak as her courage.

"Who's there?"

A woman's voice came from inside the house.

At that moment, Mia's heart rate quickened.

Her eyes instantly filled with tears, her fists clenched.

The door opened, and a cleaning lady stepped out.

Mia asked her, "Where's Andre?"

"Mr. Cedillo isn't home. Who are you?"

Leo hustled up, "Hey Ada, is my uncle around?"

"Mr. Leo, Mr. Cedillo isn't home. He hasn't been back for a long time. I'm just here for my usual

cleaning duties."

A weight was instantly lifted off Leo's chest. He glanced at Mia who seemed equally relieved.

"Let me introduce you. This is Andre's wife, Mia. Mia, this is Ada who takes care of the cleaning at

Maplewood Estates."

Ada eyed the lady in front of her, sizing her up and down, her eyes full of joy. "So, you're the Mrs.

Cedillo that Mr. Cedillo keeps mentioning? You're truly stunning."

Mia asked her, "Ada, has anyone else been here while Mr. Cedillo has been away?"

Ada shook her head without hesitation, "No one. No one has lived here for a long time."

Hearing this, Mia's fists relaxed. Her shoulders dropped as she expressed her gratitude to Ada.

Back in the car, Mia felt drained. She closed her eyes and said, "Let's go home."

Leo asked, "There are two more places we haven't checked. Aren't you going to continue searching?"

Mia shook her head, "I just don't have the energy to keep looking."
