Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance
Chapter 856

Before the results even came in, Mia, who was fearless and bold, was gently rubbing her son's tiny head while washing his hair. She was also playfully brainwashing him, saying, "Listen, son, when your dad gets old, don't let him have it too easy. You've got to stand up for

your mom and show him who's boss. Isn't he always bullying us at home?"

When Andre overheard this, he turned on his heel and walked away, missing out on the news of his sister's pregnancy.

Later that night, Mia was cuddling her sweet-smelling son, fresh from his bath. Henry always came out of his mom's care like a peeled egg-smooth, white, and oh-so-delicate. When she handed him over to her husband, Andre just nudged him back. Mia teased, "What, you want some peace and quiet and don't need us anymore?"

Andre replied, "If he's not going to let me have an easy life when I'm old, why should I love him now?"

Mia chuckled, "Caught you eavesdropping, huh?"

Andre got up and headed to his study, leaving Mia and Henry exchanging glances in the big living room.

"Son, your dad can't be hitting a midlife crisis already, can he? He's only thirty."

Noticing Andre's sulky mood, Mia and Henry flanked him in bed that night, squeezing him in the middle.

"Our first family meeting is officially starting!" Mia declared. "Husband, wife, son-everyone's present. Who's going to speak first?"

Andre just looked at his young wife.

Mia quickly climbed onto him and planted a kiss on his cheek. Their son, wanting in on the action, hugged his dad's face and gave him a little nibble too.

After the son's kiss, Mia aimed for Andre's lips, but Henry wasn't having it. The little guy sprawled across his dad, using his chubby face to block his mom, only allowing himself to give kisses.

"Henry, you're nibbling on Dad again!" Andre laughed, scooping up his little bundle of joy and tossing him playfully to the side of the bed, a tiny bite mark left on his nose.

The family meeting hadn't even started, and the little guy's antics had already gotten him a gentle spank.

Amidst the giggles and howls, Mia announced, "Well, the first family meeting was a bust."

Later, in the quiet of the night, Mia spoke softly, "Honey, do you think you're overprotecting me because you love me so much? You want to keep me safe from any danger or conflict, right?" Andre kept his eyes closed, saying nothing.

Mia snuggled against him, claiming his arm as her pillow. "Molly said today that if you saw us out in the sun, it would break your heart. You, a busy man, drive me everywhere, and even when you can't, you're restless until you call to make sure I got there safely." "You think I can't manage without you, that life would stop, and I'd be helpless and get bullied?" she asked.

Andre slowly opened his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing charmingly as he swallowed.

Mia knew she had hit the nail on the head.

His excessive love and care made him overly cautious. He could let his nephew roam freely, but he couldn't bear to let his wife face any hardships.

"You weren't really mad this time, were you? It was just a misunderstanding, and I upset you again, didn't I?"

"Smart cookie," Andre admitted.

"Well, I have to be smart to be Andre's sweetheart, right?"

Andre finally smiled, "Who says you're my sweetheart?"

"Pfft, everyone at the police station knows Andre has two treasures, and I definitely outrank the little guy you've only known for a few months."

Andre took a deep breath, "Sometimes, that's just how it is with couples. A little miscommunication, and we start arguing."

Mia felt content. "You're already so good to me, honey. If you were any less fiery, the company wouldn't respect you like they do. You just scare me a bit to keep me in line but never really punish me."

It was like when a student got into a fight at school. Even if they weren't at fault, they'd still get a talking-to from parents and teachers but no real punishment.

Mia understood everything perfectly.

"Honey, our son and I love you so much."

Andre wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. Mia nestled against his chest, and Andre softly said, "I love you too... and him."

His eyes fell on the little chubby bundle they had tossed aside on the bed.

Even if he nibbled on him, he loved him all the same.

"Oh, by the way, Molly's pregnant."

"What did you say?!" Mia shot up, startling Henry awake. The familiar chaos followed, leaving Henry wondering what he did to deserve being disturbed from his sleep. Andre resigned himself to the task of soothing them.

The next day, Hansen finally got the delayed message.

"What did you say?!" Hansen's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

At the same time, Leo at the internet company answered his phone, exclaiming, "What did you say?!"

That's the way it is with family-their catchphrases become identical.

When they finally called Naomi, Molly immediately said, "Naomi, I'm pregnant. Yes, pregnant. You heard right, I didn't misspeak."

Naomi was calm, "Mia already told me. We're on our way to the Byrne family's place. Are you up yet?" her sister-in-law asked. Jade glanced at her bed, "On it."

In the morning, Molly's family arrived with gifts.

Molly quickly got ready and went downstairs, greeting everyone, "Big brother Andre, Naomi, Mia, and little one~"

Meanwhile, Henry was catching up on his sleep, not wanting to be disturbed.

"You really did it, Molly."

Molly was still unsure if the test result was right, feeling no different than usual. "I was wondering if the hospital got it wrong."

That night, the soon-to-be dad, Chad, managed to persuade Molly with stories he made up on the spot, convincing her of the pregnancy. Come morning, they shared the good news one by one.

That day, the Byrne family didn't head to work, and Chad took the morning off to host guests.

Henry slept until noon, with Kendrick remarking, "Henry sure can eat and sleep. No wonder he's so plump."

The truth about why Henry slept so late was left unsaid by his parents.

In the afternoon, before leaving, they gently woke Henry. After a good nap, his mood was perfectly delightful.

Upon waking, he sat on his mom's lap, not fussing or crying. He yawned, lazily looking around at the people beside him, utterly adorable.

Now, Molly didn't allow anyone to hold the baby. As soon as someone reached out, Chad would stop them. "You'll have plenty of chances to hold him later."
