Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia looked at her husband, "Just to be on the safe side, you'd better sleep in the guest room."

Andre chuckled and said, "All right."

His brother-in-law was leaving soon, so it wasn't a big deal to stay in the guest room for a few days.

Mia instantly got what her husband was thinking. He always had a knack for keeping his cool.

The next day, the Irvins took Cooper to visit the Cedillos. As soon as they walked in, Hansen had a gift ready for Cooper.

"Why are you giving me a present?" Cooper asked.

Hansen replied, "This gift was meant to give to you last year, but you weren't around, so I'm doing it now."

Cooper declined, "I don't want it."

But Mia's eyes were glued to the gift. Andre covered his wife's eyes with his hand and whispered in her ear, "If you're jonesing for a gift, I'll hook you up with one tonight. Don't be green-eyed about Cooper. This present is for him. You can't be envious."

"I know, honey. I was just having a gander." Mia brushed Andre's hand away.

Later on, Aaron and Madison convinced his son to accept the gift.

It was only then that Cooper realized Hansen's real intention. Despite his seemingly harmless demeanor, Hansen had made his mark in both politics and business. He was no pushover, how could he be just a simple old man?

Hansen was offering a gift as soon as Cooper walked in. If Cooper accepted, it meant he was accepting his ties with the Cedillos, effectively killing any chance of him warning the Cedillos. He couldn't outright blow the whistle on Andre, and he couldn't come off too harsh. Hansen's cunning was something to be admired.

At that moment, Andre understood his father's intentions. He had deliberately covered his wife's eyes to prevent her from grabbing Cooper's gift.

Now, Cooper was a bit peeved. He couldn't utter the crucial words he wanted to.
