Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Hank adjusted his grandson from one arm to the other and, freeing his hand, pointed at the door. "Andre, get back to Maplewood Estates. Don't even think about stepping foot in my house again."

Mia shot him a look. "Fine, then give me back my son."

"Not happening. He's my grandson!" Hank said, hugging the little bundle tighter.

Mia retorted, "And without me, you wouldn't have this adorable grandson."

Hank fired back, "And without me, you wouldn't have a husband."

The room fell silent.

Molly clapped her hands, "Well played, Dad. You actually won that round."

Mia wasn't backing down. "So, if it wasn't Andre, you think I couldn't find someone else to marry?"

Molly, ever the instigator, piped up, "Mia, stay strong. Here's to hoping for the best!"

She glanced over at Andre, who had been silent until now. Mia had no idea her husband's gaze was fixed on her, dangerously intense.

Madison, trying to keep the peace, lightly tapped her daughter's shoulder. "Enough with the nonsense. You and Andre are married."

Mia turned to face her husband and suddenly felt a chill from his icy stare. Though she had won the verbal duel with Hank, it seemed the victory came at a cost. "Honey, I... uh, didn't mean it like that. You know I'm just naturally competitive, right?" Andre's smile was cold. "My possessiveness is just as strong."

Feeling a bit scared, Mia turned to her parents. "Mom, Dad, can I go with you?"

"What about Henry?" Madison asked, looking at her adorable grandson.
