Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1028

Conner's crew stood by, watching their boss take a beating but not daring to step in. The boss was scary enough, but the guy throwing punches was on a whole other level.

"Think you can keep your mouth in check from now on?" Andre's voice was low and threatening, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Conner slowly got to his feet, leaning against the railing with his face all bruised up. "I figured you'd hit me, but man, I didn't think you'd hit that hard."

Andre rose, and Conner quickly followed suit. "Yeah, I got it!"

Andre paused, unwrapping the bandages from his hands and tossing them aside. He hopped off the boxing ring and headed to the sink to wash up. "Conner, you need to get back in the game. Ever since you took over the family, your boxing's gone downhill." Conner held his aching face, sucking in a sharp breath. "Geez, why not admit you've just gotten meaner?"

After a shower, Andre emerged looking sharp in his business suit, no sign of the brawler he'd been just moments before.

"I'm out of here."

"Leaving after a scrap, huh?" Conner said, trying to keep his tone light.

Andre replied, "Mia's waiting on me at home. We're having dumplings tonight."
