Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

After finishing his drink, he grabbed a glass of warm water and brought it to his petite wife's lips. Mia, too lazy to reach out, simply drank directly from the cup he held to her mouth. Their little one, having quenched his thirst, turned his head curiously to watch his mom drink. Everything in the world was new wonder to him. The computer screen displayed ongoing surveillance footage, but Andre let his wife and child amuse themselves as he finally dived into his work. To avoid disturbing her husband, Mia scooped up their little bundle and headed to the lounge. She laid him on the bed and playfully tapped on his bottom lip, "Did you cry today, causing a fuss and giving Daddy a hard time?"

The little guy looked up at his mom, responding with some gurgles. "Are you our little troublemaker? Did Daddy spank you?" More affirmative gurgles followed. "Really? He did?" As the baby waved his limbs around, Mia muttered to herself, "Is that how Daddy spanks you? Could Andre really bring himself to do it?" The little one let out a loud "Ah!" as if eager to tarnish his dad's reputation. Mia burst into laughter, "Andre's that bad, huh?" "Mmm-hmm," the baby confirmed.

Outside the office, Andre leaned back in his chair, watching the screen, blissfully unaware that his own son was smearing his name. Soon, the meeting wrapped up, and he closed his laptop. Leo walked in and immediately asked, "Uncle, where's your son?" Mia emerged from the lounge, cradling the little one, "Look at you, Leo, running the show at the meeting today. Not bad, not bad. Looks like we've got another little boss growing up in the family."

Leo couldn't help but swear, "Damn it, if it wasn't for your son's tantrum causing a ruckus today, it wouldn't have been my turn... Sorry Aunt Mia, my bad." Leo's mood shifted rapidly, all because his formidable uncle had just appeared beside him. Andre simply walked over to his nephew, who instantly cowered at his approach. Andre was quite pleased with his intimidating presence. Mia's laughter grew louder. Leo, not one to be easily outdone, shot Mia a look and scooped the baby from her arms, muttering, "Taking advantage of your position."

"Say that louder if you dare." Leo, cradling the child on the couch, teased, "Why aren't you crying now? You had plenty of fight in you earlier. Come on, cry for your brother. Let me tell you, Henry, because of you, your brother had to... Holy smokes! Mia, your son just spit up!" From the office, Leo's roar echoed. The freshly fed little one, startled by his brother's shouting, began to cry out of fright. "Waaah- Waaah-" The baby's cries seemed like an appeal to his parents, as if complaining about his brother's scare tactics. Mia, amused by the sight of her son's 'blessing' on Leo, laughed so hard she almost forgot her baby was crying. Andre looked at his unfortunate nephew with a mix of sympathy and the urge to laugh.

was daddy Andre who took the baby from his nephew's arms, passing him a tissue with a smile. Leo, cursing under his breath, took the tissue to the uncle's lounge. Once the little one calmed down from crying himself out in his father's arms, Leo emerged, looking disgusted. Lunch was served in Andre's office, with Leo sharing details of the meeting while eating

He continued the conversation with his nephew, "Do you know the history between the Walker family and our Cedillo Group?" "Aren't they our competitors?" "Not

telling you, honey, this is the first time I've bought men's clothing. The moment I walked into the store and saw this shirt, I knew you'd look dashing in it. Plus, I compared several before choosing this fabric because it's really soft to the touch and won't wrinkle, even when you're holding our son." Mia chattered on excitedly, her admiration for her husband evident in her eyes. Andre listened patiently, smiling at his little Mia's
