Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Andre thought for a while, then ultimately nodded, saying, "You've got a point."

Cooper wasn't surprised or pissed. If Andre denied it, he wouldn't be Andre.

Andre thought about his lazy but cute wife, and said, "If I hadn't been pushed into marriage, I might not have known your sister. If I were to match my wife's identity with mine, I should have picked a career-oriented woman who shares similar personality traits with me. A lazy, troublemaking, and money-loving woman doesn't fit the bill. Not just you, but also many others, think the same. It's nothing new to me.

"People usually think a good marriage is when both partners have similar backgrounds, careers, and thoughts. That way they have something to talk about and the marriage can last long. But I know very well that for someone like me, the most suitable person for marriage can only be a partner in business, never a real partner in life. If two workaholics who don't care about family life get married and live together, there's only one outcome - our household will be cold and so will our relationship. What's the point of such a marriage then? Am I just finding a competitor for myself? Don't I have enough competitors in my real life?"

Cooper kept quiet, allowing Andre to continue.

Andre went on, "I'm a successful man, and your sister is a homemaker. I don't need her help in my career, and I don't need her to take care of me at home. To me, children are a gift from God, and even if she can't take care of the kids, I can. Marriage should be equal, but even if it's not equal with Mia, I'd be okay with it. I can't keep her young and beautiful forever, but I can make sure she's happy every day. She's got a terrible temper, and she loves to stir up trouble. But she never causes big ones. Also, she treats me well, and that's enough. People who are too disciplined need someone to ease their tense life, and people who are too lazy need a disciplined person to lead them. Her virtues are not visible to see at first, only the heart can feel them."

Probably, she was the only person in the world who understood him best. And she was the only person who could influence him.

Cooper then said, "There will be more and more girls who are beautiful and better than her. By the time she no longer attracts you, she'll be the one you abandon. If you meet another woman and dump my sister, she'll have nothing."

"All your worries are about fear of the future. What you're worried about won't happen. Mia already has half of my shares. Even if we can't be together in the future and get divorced, she'll still get a hefty amount of wealth from me. If you're still not reassured, just watch. If one day, Mia loses herself by my side, then you can take her away from me."

Cooper said, "I'll remember what you said today. I don't care about your money. I just want two people, my sister and her child."

Andre cracked a smile.
