Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

He tossed the remaining rice into the trash bin, and grabbed the glass of warm water on the table, downing it in one gulp.

Ten minutes later, Mia received an empty lunchbox. She left with a satisfied smile.

Andre leaned back against his chair, touching his belly. Alice walked in, grinning. She knew everything.

"You've had it tough," Alice teased.

Andre silently prayed that Mia would only visit once.

At four in the afternoon.

"Honey, what are you up to?" The office door was cracked open by a certain audacious individual. "I know you've had a long day at work, honey. I made you some clam chowder. Try it."

Andre was silent. He stood up, swiftly tidying up the documents on his desk. "Mia, I have a meeting to attend. Take the chowder home for our dad to enjoy."

"But dad already has some," Mia argued. "Honey, eat before you go to your meeting."

As Andre picked up his documents to leave, Mia opened the container. The chowder was brimming to the top, threatening to spill over onto her hand. Andre could see the steam still rising from it. Andre swallowed hard, concerned that his wife might burn herself. He bent over and placed the container on his desk.

"Behave yourself, I'm off to a meeting."

"Honey, just take a sip. I spent ages making it."

Unable to resist his cute wife, Andre had no choice but to take a sip.

"Well." Andre's hand went to his throat as he eyed the strange soup. "Did you add butter?"

"Yes, honey. How does it taste?" Mia awaited his praise with eager eyes.

Andre complimented, "Delicious."

Then, Andre quickly left the office. He called out to Noah, "Meeting."

"Meeting?" Noah was confused.
