Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia was leaning her chin on her hand, whiling away the time.

Later, Andre stood up, took her hand, and with a rose in his hand, they left the restaurant.

"I feel so bummed after the meal; the music makes me want to doze off. Honey, can we go to Majestic Dining Enclave next time? I love the vibe there." Andre agreed.

Back home, the rose in Andre's hand immediately caught Hansen's attention. "Oh, not bad; you finally know to buy roses for Mia; good for you."

"Dad, I bought this rose for my husband."

"What?" Hansen glared at Andre, "You let your wife buy you flowers; don't you feel ashamed? How could you go out with flowers? Go and buy roses for Mia immediately."

While Mia was bending down to change her shoes, she said, "A rose isn't worth much, but my husband took me out for an expensive meal. I think I got the better end of the deal."

"So the romantic date you were talking about was with Andre." Leo said.

Mia nodded, "Yeah, if I had told you earlier, you would have spoiled my surprise when my husband called."

Back home, Andre didn't say a word; it was all Mia talking.

Hansen still thought his son's behavior was inappropriate. How could he let a girl give him roses?

Mia said something that made everyone feel warm inside; her views on marriage were quite comforting.

"Marriage is mutual. Women need flowers, gifts, and surprises, and so do men. Of course, marriage must be based on equality. If one party is always giving, it's not a happy marriage. It's mutual; he gives me his love, and I give him my surprises." Andre had been feeling pretty lucky lately.

He hugged his chatty wife, "Who taught you all this?"
