Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo said, "Cooper, I'll look into the matter with your sister. Don't sweat it, just focus on studying abroad. We'll be in touch if anything comes up."

After hanging up the call, Leo took a deep breath and looked at Mia, who was also catching her breath. "Mia, I always thought you were a hell of a special woman, but now, I see you're even more special than I thought." He gave her a thumbs-up, "You really are

something."

She managed to keep her marriage from her own brother.

Mia frowned, "I even managed to keep it from you, didn't I?"

"Why didn't you tell Cooper?" Leo asked.

Mia replied, "If I had told him, he would've dropped everything and flown back home to deal with it. He was set on studying aboard for a while, but if I told him, he might've given up on going abroad and stayed here instead."

"But you..." Leo was so worked up he didn't know what to say. He glanced over at Andre, who had been watching them. "Mia, maybe you should think about breaking the news to Andre first. He's had his eye on you for a while." Leo said.

Mia asked, "What would happen if I told him that Cooper doesn't even know he exists?"

Leo replied, "I'd start picking out a nice tombstone for you."

Mia felt like crying but decided to bravely face her impending doom. She walked over to Andre and put her hand in his, "Andre."

Andre looked down at her and tightened his grip on her hand, leading his adorable wife upstairs. He didn't ask, so she didn't tell. Mia's phone remained silent.

Leo returned to his own room and messaged Molly privately: [Sleeping yet, Mo?]

Meanwhile, Molly, who was having a late-night snack at the Byrne family's, sent a video of her eating roast chicken: [Not yet, what's up?]

Chad took Molly home. Along the way, they saw a woman selling roast chicken by the roadside, standing in the cold with a sleeping child on her back. Chad asked, "Hungry, Molly?"
