Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Afterwards, the Cedillo family managed to scrape together the cash and dropped it off at the designated spot.

But only Andre came back, and Molly mysteriously vanished.

Upon hearing this, Mia forgot to respond. Her gaze was filled with worry. "And then what?" she asked.

"Turns out Andre was saved by the Marshal family, Jillian's father to be exact. That's why we've helped the Marshal family so many times. After you joined the Cedillo family, we've completely cut ties with them.

"Not even a month after Molly disappeared, Andre's mom kicked the bucket due to illness.Andre blamed himself, thinking he didn't protect his sister well enough. He'd wear his hospital gown and search for Molly everywhere. His mother's death hit him hard, and he felt he was responsible for it. At the age of 13, he moved out on his own and went to Maplewood Estates, where he lived alone, studied, and refused any assistance from anyone.

"I once tried to do his laundry, he practically kicked me out. Hansen tried to get into Maplewood Estates, but without Andre's permission, he couldn't even step foot in there.

"Mia, you've made your way into Andre's heart, I'm sure you guys will end up living in Maplewood Estates. I'm begging you, give Andre a home. Don't let him be like a lonely ship, with only the mission to find Molly in his heart."

Mia nodded resolutely, "I'll give him a home, and he'll give me something to lean on."

Naomi always cared for Andre.

Many times during Christmas, Andre would be alone outside. They couldn't even get him to come home for a meal.

So Naomi said to her son, "Leo, go do something naughty."

Leo, "...Mom, are you losing it or am I?"

Naomi pointed at the chandelier in their house and said, "Knock it down with a stick."

Leo looked up at the perfectly fine chandelier. It wasn't bothering him, why did he have to knock it down?

But Naomi insisted. Leo felt puzzled and went ahead without asking for the reason. Then, his trouble-stirring mom picked up her phone and called Andre. "Andre, get back here and handle Leo. He broke the chandelier at home and almost hurt someone." Leo was speechless. Then Andre came back, and gave Leo a good spanking.

Throughout the Christmas season, the Cedillo family living room was filled with Leo's wailing. But no one was mad, everyone had a smile on their face. Only Leo, who got spanked so hard he had to stand while eating because his butt hurt too much to sit down. Later on, his mom said to him, "Leo, go and..."

"I won't do it!"
