Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 184

Mia wanted to speak up, but was afraid of causing a fuss in the Byrne family. Because Jade was Mia's

close friend without any blood relation, she couldn't overstep her boundaries. She felt guilty today for

taking advantage of Jade's good nature.

"Hey, Jade, I'm not eating anymore. My husband is almost here. I'm going to wait for him at the door.

You two carry on."

After heading downstairs, Mia prepared to leave.

Jade and Chad wanted to see her off.

Mia stood at the door for a moment, and Andre came driving up. He got what Mia was aiming for. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Having him pick her up was actually to let him see Jade in person, to rid him of his ideas about Jade.

He appreciated his wife's gesture and personally came over.

"My husband's here, I gotta split."

Andre parked the car, got out, and saw the girl who was as tall as Mia, with a similar physique, and

Chad, whom he had met a few times.

He walked up and shook hands with Chad. "Hey, I'm Mia's husband, Andre."

"Nice to meet you. As a citizen of Eldoria, who wouldn't know Mr. Cedillo. I'm the captain of the public

security bureau, Chad."

The two shook hands, Mia felt an odd tension in the air. She quickly diverted her husband's attention,

pointing to Jade, "Honey, this is me and Leo's best friend, Jade."

Having been caught by him before, she shot Andre an awkward glance, then edged a bit closer to

Chad, looking somewhat scared.

Andre looked at her but said nothing.

"I'm here to pick up Mia, so we'll get going and see you around." His face was calm, as if he was really

meeting Jade for the first time.

Chad nodded, he and Jade watched as the car drove off. Once it was gone, he furrowed his brows,

sensing a hint of danger. He turned to glance at Jade, "Jade, come inside with me."

"Okay."

On the way home, Mia asked her husband, "Did you notice anything?"

Andre didn't share his thoughts with her. Instead, he gave her the answer she wanted to hear, "No."

In the following days, in order to help clear her friend of suspicion and to help her husband face reality,

Mia put in a lot of effort. She often visited the Byrne family.

The Cedillo family was getting a bit miffed.

"She doesn't even spend time with her parents. Instead she's out and about with her friends, what's up

with that?"

Mia went to the Byrne family again. This time, Chad wasn't home, and no one was there to interrupt her

and Jade.

They started to look at the photo album they hadn't finished last time.

Jade pointed to a photo and said, "This is what I looked like when I was five."

There was writing next to it, it read "Jade, 5 years old". Back then, she didn't have bangs, but Molly's

photo at five had bangs. Two kids, completely different looks.

Without saying much, Mia was sure Jade wasn't Molly. After all, even if it was a fake, it wouldn't have

been made 15 years ago, let alone having photos from when she was one to five years old.

"What did you look like when you were six?"

Jade said, "You might not remember, but I had chickenpox when I was six. I was covered in spots."

Mia had heard that there were no photos of Jade from that year. Because chickenpox was contagious,

no one dared to touch her. Even on her birthday, no teachers were invited.

Then, the next photo was of Jade when she was seven.

"Is this you?" Mia asked, pointing at the photo.

Jade nodded, "Yes, that's me. It was my brother's 12th birthday. I got too excited and smeared cake on

his face. He didn't hesitate to smear cake back on mine. My parents were laughing so hard they took

this photo."

Later on, Jade's appearance gradually became clear. By middle school, Mia had a clear memory of

what she looked like.

"Jade, I'm sorry." Mia suddenly apologized.

Jade looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Mia didn't explain, she got up to wash her face, then left, planning to drive to her husband's office.

Meanwhile, Andre was also looking at a photo of Jade when she was five. His face was

expressionless. Noah hesitated whether he should continue speaking.

"Carry on."

Noah carried on as commanded, "Jade's birth records was real, and we found Kendrick's assistant and

people from Jade's hometown, including Chad's classmates. They all confirmed Jade is the child of the

Byrne family. And she's never been missing. We took Molly's photo and asked around, but the

neighbors all denied seeing Molly. So, Jade is very likely not Molly."

Andre looked at the photo, his gaze never left it.

In a short while, he saw someone through the surveillance camera. He put away the photo, "You can

leave now, Mia will be here soon. Don't mention this."

"Okay."

Noah left and Mia showed up. As she was pushing open the door, she shouted, "Honey!"

"You're here." Andre smiled when he saw her.

"Yep, honey, I've figured it out, Jade is not your sister. I've seen all her photos from when she was a

baby, and there's no way she could be your sister."

Andre stood up and opened a bottle of drink for his wife.

Mia took it and had a sip, "You probably saw wrong that day."

"Hmm, okay, I probably made a mistake."

He closed his laptop, "Mia, shall we go on a date?"

"Another date?"

Mia and her husband would go on dates every few days. Now she felt like dates were a common thing,

without the anticipation like before.

Last time, she stayed up all night, and he took her to the mountains to stargaze. In his words:

stargazing equals dating.

She complained once at home, saying it was boring. Then he took her to an amusement park, and they

spent the whole day there. It was only when she got home at night that she realized she had skipped

school that day.

But her husband told her, "You're the principal. No one's gonna mark you absent."

She retorted, "Honey, does that mean I can get my diploma even if I don't go to school, because I'm the

principal?"

This question left Andre speechless again.

Recently, Mia hit up a concert, but she just snoozed through it. She took a trip to the theatre, but she

just looked pooped. She even went to the beach, but all she did was yawn.

But, oh boy, when it came to eating steak, she could clean her plate like a champ. When she hit up

Majestic Dining Enclave, she could munch for two straight hours. When she popped into a dessert

shop, she could chill there all afternoon.

Later, Mr. Cedillo summed it up, "Girl, you sure can eat!"

Mia blinked innocently, "What's the matter, can't handle feeding a foodie like me? If you can't, I'll just

find someone else who can."

Andre, wrapping his arms around his soft wife and looking at their pet cat, whispered, "Not only can I

handle feeding you, I can also handle our cat."

But, Mr. Cedillo started to worry. His Kittemia didn't seem to have much of a taste for the arts.

One day, Andre asked Mia, "Mia, do you know who Beethoven is?"

"He's a painter."

"And what about Da Vinci?"

"He's a singer."

"What about Einstein?"

"How do you not know this? Isn't he that super famous physicist?" Mia looked down on her husband.

She couldn't figure out how someone with his intelligence could possibly have achieved so much.

Andre felt a slight sense of relief. Mia's schooling wasn't a total waste. She did learn something after

all.
