Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

In Mia's bedroom, after gently rocking her child to sleep and settling him into his crib, her husband Andre couldn't help but ask, "So, when did things start heating up between those two?" "Over the summer break," Mia replied, tucking a light blanket around their son.

"No way," Andre said, shaking his head.

"What are you getting at?" Mia asked, making sure their son was snug.

"How far have they gone?" Andre pressed further.

"Exactly as far as you're thinking," Mia said candidly.

"Stop beating around the bush with me."

"If I were direct, you wouldn't approve anyway," Mia retorted.

"You're right, I wouldn't," Andre admitted.

"Then I guess we're back to beating around the bush," Mia said with a smirk.

Andre sighed as Mia disappeared into the bathroom. Moments later, she emerged in her pajamas, trying to sound fierce, "If you don't let me get some rest tonight, I'm taking the baby and heading to my mom's!"

To Andre, Mia's attempt at being intimidating was as threatening as a kitten swatting with its tiny paws-cute but not at all scary.

He chuckled softly and then said, "I'll be in the study."

Andre's unexpected return home meant his work calls followed him, and to avoid disturbing their son's rest, he retreated to the study with his phone, conveniently dodging Mia's playful threat.
