Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

It wasn't until Andre kissed her tender lips until they turned slightly red that he finally let her go."When you saw me in the living room earlier, why didn't you speak?"

"I was so overwhelmed with joy, I didn't know what to say."

Andre chuckled, wrapping an arm around his petite wife, pinching her cheek affectionately. He leaned down, nuzzling her forehead, "Sweet Mia, from now on, wherever I go, I'll take both you and our little one with me."

"Honey, I've missed and loved you so much."

With that, Mia tiptoed, puckering her lips, wrapping her arms around Andre's neck, seeking another kiss. Andre, lost in the moment, wished he could keep her close forever. But seeing her once delicate lips now swollen, he didn't want to cause her any more discomfort. So he bent down and gave her a gentle peck.

Not long after, the couple descended to the dining room for dinner. By then, the rest of the Cedillo family had finished their meals. Only the couple remained in the vast dining room, undisturbed by the staff. Women understood women, and Naomi, the head housekeeper, had instructed the staff to give the couple some privacy, sensing they had a lot to catch up on.

As Mia sat with her husband, she playfully took a big sip of soup right in front of him, "Honey, you have no idea. While you were away, I took such good care of myself and our baby."

A doting look appeared on Andre's face as he picked up a piece of broccoli and held it to Mia's lips. She opened her mouth and took a bite, then teasingly asked, "Why aren't you feeding me meat? Don't you love me anymore?"

Seeing his wife's playful pout, Andre chuckled and picked up a piece of steak, offering it to her. Mia, enjoying her husband's attention, took a big bite.

"Honey, just look at the extra weight on my face. I've been eating well while you were away."
