Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 886

The next day, Cooper headed back, leaving his sister still sound asleep. He called her up, asking, "Hey, is my little treasure with you?" Silence followed as Mia, half-asleep, answered the call and then promptly dozed off again with the phone by her pillow. Cooper, now at the airport, paused with his suitcase in hand when he heard nothing but silence on the line. "Hello? Sis? You there? Pig," he muttered with a smirk, knowing she must have fallen asleep again.

With a shrug, he decided to call Andre, his brother-in-law. "Hey, bro-in-law..." he greeted as soon as the call connected, only to be met with the familiar sound of a child's cries. Without missing a beat, he said, "I'll see you in half an hour." He hopped into a taxi and told the driver, "Cedillo Inc., please."

When he arrived at Cedillo Inc., he quickly realized he didn't have the same pull as his sister and nephew and was promptly stopped at the reception. With no other option, he called Andre again, "Can't get upstairs, man."

Andre made a quick call from his office, and soon enough, the receptionist was escorting Cooper inside, luggage in tow.

It was Cooper's first time visiting Cedillo Inc., and he couldn't help but be impressed. "So this is what a business empire looks like, huh? Pretty snazzy."

Impressive as it was, the CEO clearly had his hands full. Andre was trying to work while his son, Henry, was red-faced and bawling in his walker, snacks strewn about in his toddler rebellion.

Andre couldn't concentrate with the crying echoing through the office. Sending Henry to his doting grandparents wasn't ideal-they'd spoil him rotten. And leaving him with Mia wasn't much better; she was too exhausted. The house staff, overly cautious because he was Andre's son, treated him like royalty.

So, Andre decided to bring Henry to the office, where he watched him cry. Poor Henry was distressed because his walker's seat was missing-it was his go-to spot for lazy lounging. Today, it was gone, and he was too scared to sit, only able to stand and shuffle as the walker moved with him.

Five minutes later, Cooper got to Andre's office floor. As soon as he stepped off the elevator, he could hear his nephew sobbing. Without hesitation, he dropped his suitcase and followed the sound to the CEO's office.

He scooped up the little guy, giving him a big, silly kiss right on the cheek, startling Henry into a rare moment of silence. He blinked up at his uncle, momentarily forgetting his tears.

Andre, seeing Cooper's suitcase abandoned, went and brought it back inside. Henry, not recognizing anyone, saw his uncle as a stranger, cried again, and reached out for his dad.

Andre took him back, but Cooper wasn't ready to let go. "Why's he crying this time?" he asked.
