Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1365

A short while later, the call finally connected.

Noah’s voice came through. “Boss, I figured it out—it was your sister who told Mrs. Byrne.”

Andre rubbed his temples. “…Who?”

“Yep, the eldest Miss Byrne.”

The Byrne family.

As soon as Jade got the news, she immediately shared it with her sister. “Mia, are you joining this year?”

Before, it was always something—pregnancy, having the baby, grad school—Mia was held up by it all. Now she was finally free and determined to go after her dreams again. There was no way she’d miss this chance.

Leo knew better than to say too much—sometimes, the less you say, the better. So when he saw the announcement, he just quietly deleted it.

Andre thought about his headache of a sister. “Molly never does anything right.”

Fifteen years of searching, and this is the sister he found.

Noah hesitated. “Boss, maybe… we should postpone the competition?”

Andre shook his head. “No way. If we postpone, Mia’s going to start wondering if I’m the one behind The Silent Ring.”

Little Henry’s ears perked up at that.

That night, back in the bedroom, while Andre was in the shower, Mia called her son over. She pulled out a pack of snacks. “Come tell Mom what Daddy was talking about in secret today. This whole bag is yours if you spill.”

Henry’s eyes tracked the snacks as Mia waved them in the air. “Daddy’s mad.”

“Daddy’s mad, huh? Did he mention The Silent Ring?”

Henry kept his eyes glued to the treats and launched into a long string of babble.

“What?”

He babbled again, even faster.

Mia sighed. “Sweetie, can you use your words?”

“Daddy’s—”

Henry puffed his cheeks. “Hmph. It’s mine.”

Andre chuckled. “That’s right, it’s yours. If your mom asks, you tell her that, okay?” He dropped a quick kiss on his little scapegoat’s head.

The next morning, before work, Andre locked both the study and the gym.

Mother and son—one at the gym door, one at the study door—both sulking in silence.

Hansen, meanwhile, was totally absorbed in his phone, lost in some group chat.

Mia took Henry’s hand and headed downstairs with a sigh. Both looked like their hearts just weren’t in it—locked out by their favorite man.

That afternoon, Jade came by with her baby and spotted the gloomy pair sitting on the steps. “What’s up with you two?”

After hearing the whole story, Jade, always one for wild ideas, grinned. “Mia, let’s just break the locks open.”

…

Andre got home, spotted his sister, and didn’t bother hiding his annoyance. “What’re you doing here?”
