Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1528

Conner thought of Aaron. Even after his daughter married Andre, he still couldn’t escape all the polite flattery and backhanded compliments, but he’d always had a knack for handling relationships. He called Andre to talk about it.

“If Mr. Martin had even half my father-in-law’s finesse, Chapman Inc. wouldn’t be in the mess it’s in now,” Andre said, half-joking.

He went on, “Some people are born to lead, some to follow. Your father-in-law just picked the wrong lane—he’d be a perfect right-hand man.”

Conner agreed with Andre’s take, which was why he kept his father-in-law close.

People liked to say Gabby’s biggest claim to fame was having two daughters. Gabby never argued—he figured they were probably right.

Both daughters were as stubborn as they came and never listened to their parents. Gabby had long since given up trying to rein them in; any irritation just ended up as a few extra grumbles to his wife.

Every morning, he’d hear his wife talking about her nightmares—always something bad happening to the girls. Gabby would mutter a few words to chide her, then head off to work.

Louisa, worried sick, finally confided in their younger daughter.

“Your sister stood at my bed, covered in blood. I tried to clean her wounds, but the bleeding just wouldn’t stop,” she said, voice trembling.

Annie lied with practiced ease to comfort her. “All my dreams about her have been sweet, Mom. Really, she’s fine.”

Louisa sighed. “It’s been ages since your sister’s called home.”

After a few more minutes, Louisa said, “I won’t keep you from work, sweetheart. Take care of yourself, okay?”

When the call ended, Annie couldn’t help but think of her own nightmares from the past few nights.

Far away, in a foreign country.
