Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 983

Mia walked her guest down to the parking lot, needing to grab Henry's bag. "Hey, what's going on? I thought you said you wouldn't come?" Mia asked, curiosity tinged with a bit of confusion. Andre shrugged, "You've wrapped up your classes, so why can't I pop in?"

"But now everyone knows you're my husband," Mia replied, a hint of worry in her voice.

"Am I such a secret, Mia?" Andre teased, though his eyes searched hers for a real answer.

Mia paused, her thoughts swirling before she spoke. "It's not that, honey. I just thought it'd be easier if people didn't know, you know, to avoid any unnecessary drama. But don't forget, you're my world."

Andre made it to the underground parking, stowed Mia's books in the trunk, and handed her Henry's special backpack. Even though he was miffed, he managed a, "Call me when you're done tonight, and I'll swing by to pick you up." With that, Andre drove off, the slight tension lingering in the air.

Mia watched the car fade, then glanced at Henry, nestled comfortably in her arms. "Looks like Dad's a bit upset, huh?" she mused aloud.

Henry gave a serious little nod, "Hmm."

Mia kissed his cheek softly. "After graduation, everyone's going their separate ways. We'll barely keep in touch, so I didn't want you and your dad to become the talk of the town. But trust me, you and your dad are everything to me." Henry babbled back, his little voice full of agreement.

Mia, holding Henry, made her way to the elevator. Once she was sure they were safely inside, Andre revved the engine and headed out.

Cooper, watching his brother-in-law, couldn't resist, "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot," Andre replied.

Cooper scratched his head, still puzzled. "Besides being drop-dead gorgeous, what's so special about my sister?"

Andre chuckled, "Her only flaw is being too beautiful."

Cooper laughed, slapping his thigh. "Man, married guys really do know how to play it smart!"
