Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1355

That night, Andre and Chad came home.

As soon as they walked in, they were greeted by a sight that made them both stop in their tracks: Wayne's little face was almost entirely smeared with berry juice, so dark and messy that Officer Chad was genuinely stunned-had his son turned into a little shadow? Andre paused at the door, arms crossed. "Henry, get over here. What did you feed your brother this time?”

Henry appeared, looking just as guilty-his own cheeks and hands covered in sticky purple stains, clutching a half-squished mulberry in his tiny fist. "Daddy, pick me up~"

Andre and Officer Chad each grabbed their little troublemaker and hauled them off to the bathroom. The two dads, now seasoned in the art of cleaning up their kids' messes, got to work scrubbing berry stains from small faces and hands.

After dinner, Jamie started to gather her things. She'd come to Havenbrook for her interviews alone and was staying at a hotel. Mia had tried to talk her into staying at their place, but Jamie always politely turned her down. It finally clicked for Mia: Jamie was a little nervous around her husband. “Really, my husband's not scary. He just looks serious and doesn't talk much, that's all."

Molly, never one to miss a chance to tease, piped up, "Mia, aren't you scared when you get yourself in trouble with your husband?"

Mia just gave her a look.

Later that night, as Molly was about to leave, she said, "Jamie, want to ride with us? You're staying at the hotel, right? We can drop you off on the way. And Chad's a cop-you couldn't be in safer hands."

Officer Chad, the so-called "police uncle," let out a quiet laugh. "Come on, I'll give you a lift."

After they'd dropped Jamie off, Andre turned to Mia, half-joking, half-curious. "Am I really that scary in your Facebook photos?"
