Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1079

Mia was rifling through her printed references again, fishing out her dusty thesis proposal from the bookmarks. Faced with the intimidating blank document, she was so frustrated she actually banged her head on the desk. Little Henry, seeing his mom in distress, quickly crawled over and cuddled up to her, stopping her from hitting her head again.

Molly felt like joining in on the desk-banging, but her baby bump wouldn’t let her bend that far.

Just then, the butler walked in. “Mr. Andre, there’s an invitation from the Harris family. It’s Grandpa Harris’s big birthday bash, and they’d love for you to come.”

Mia shot a look at her husband. Trying to escape again?

Andre felt a wave of old frustrations well up. “Not happening!”

The butler hesitated, “Sir, Grandpa Harris personally called. His granddaughter-in-law is pregnant too, so it’s a double celebration.”

Andre replied, “Tell him my wife is working on her dissertation and I need to be here to support her. We can’t leave.”

“Understood.”

Once the butler left, Mia felt a sense of relief wash over her. She cupped her face in her hands, playfully coaxing, “Honey! come sit with me.”

Andre moved closer, giving her the comfort she needed.

Mia had heard how thesis defenses were getting tougher, with shoddy work being outright rejected and questions becoming trickier. She was anxious about not being able to answer properly or her work falling short.

Chad returned at that moment with Molly calling out, “Chad!” Her voice was almost hypnotic.

Chad sat down, and Molly’s intense gaze made Officer Chad’s heart skip a beat. “I’m not sure I can handle this,” he admitted.

Jade chimed in, “A man should never admit defeat.”

Officer Chad: “…”

On a sunny afternoon, the sisters sat across from each other in the Cedillo family’s conference room. Between them was a chubby toddler, a water bottle in one hand and his toes in the other. He was the envy of the family.
