Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 389

Upon hearing the two daughters-in-law comforting each other, Hansen was moved. Mia, being a new

mom and quite young, was always taken care of by Naomi, who was always giving her advice.

Naomi sometimes got confused when it came to her son, but smart and articulate Mia knew how to

persuade and advise her in return.

People often say, when the women of the household are together, the home will be peaceful. The

Cedillo family was so now. They were not worried about the brothers becoming enemies, instead, there

was the picture of brotherly love. The two sisters-in-law got along well and warmly.

Craving her delicious donuts, Mia unconsciously made her way to the coffee table where they were

placed. She picked one up and handed it to Naomi. “Naomi, try this. It’s really good. Molly

recommended it.”

Hansen chimed in, “Yes, yes, it tastes great. Naomi, you should really try it. Mia brought it all the way

for you.”

Naomi finally picked it up and began to eat. “Hmm! It really is good. Where did you get it?”

Mia mentioned a place.

In the hospital, the family of four sat together, chatting. Molly asked her mother, “Mom, Mia is about to

have a baby in a few months. What should I, as an aunt, gift the baby?”

Coleen replied, “It’s still early. Don’t rush. When it’s almost time, buy a set of clothes for the baby and a

little bracelet.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Molly nodded. “Alright, when my brother is discharged, I’ll ask him to accompany me to the mall.”

Coleen teasingly added, “You always want to shop with your brother.”

“I always argue with you when we go shopping. If it’s not you getting mad at me, it’s me getting mad at

you. My brother never bothers with my selections, and he never says no and just directly pays for it. I’m

not a fool, of course. I’d choose my brother to accompany me.”

Coleen pointed out, “Your brother’s free time is all used up with you. He doesn’t even have time to get

a girlfriend.”

In a teasing tone, Molly responded, “Mom, how about I become your daughter-in-law?”

Coleen playfully tapped her daughter’s head. “Stop being silly.”

Molly, pretending to tease her parents, leaned on Chad’s shoulder. “Chad, shall I be your girlfriend?”

Chad laughed and said, “Sure.”

Everyone in the room thought Chad was just playing along with his sister, so they didn’t take it

seriously. Molly’s face instantly turned red. The flush even reached her ears. She tried to keep her

composure as she pointed at Chad and told her parents, “See, my brother agreed.”

Kendrick, assuming the children were just messing around, quietly scolded them a bit, but didn’t take it

too seriously. Molly was careless and didn’t mind being scolded by her parents. After a while, she went

to Kendrick’s side. “Dad, don’t you think your daughter is particularly good-looking?”

A loving smile spread across Kendrick’s face. “Go away. You’re not nearly as good-looking as your

mom.”

Coleen chimed in, “Did you hear that? Comparing yourself to your mother in terms of beauty, you lost.”

Unperturbed, Molly retorted, “Ugh, in a few days I’ll go back to Hansen. He’ll definitely say I’m the

prettiest.”

Coleen later stated a truth, “You’re only beautiful in your brother’s eyes.”

Molly looked at Chad. “No, the most beautiful woman in my brother’s eyes is cheerleader from his

university, a particularly cool lady. Isn’t that right, Chad?”

Chad responded, “Why bring up past matters? We’re talking about you. You’re beautiful.”

The chatter in the hospital room never ceased. With the grandparents at home, Coleen and Kendrick

stayed until around 3 in the afternoon before leaving.

Before leaving, Coleen instructed her daughter, “If you don’t want to sleep on the sofa, there are

foldable beds outside for less than 200 bucks. Don’t take your brother’s bed.”

“Ah, I know. At noon today it was a mistake. Tonight when you come to deliver food, you’ll definitely see

a considerate Molly.”

Coleen countered, “Who told you I will come tonight to deliver food for you?”

Molly confidently replied, “I did.”

Unable to argue with her daughter, Coleen decided to leave.

Kendrick had been laughing heartily the whole time. Once they were in the elevator, he thought of his

daughter’s quick wit and felt proud.

Coleen pointed out, “Your daughter’s sharp tongue is a problem, but in your eyes, it turns into her being

articulate.”

Kendrick’s bizarre pride kicked in. “Baby, are you saying our daughter is not outstanding? Who can

beat her at eloquence? Look at my sister’s family, and the children of your sisters. Which one is as

good as our daughter?”

In Coleen’s heart, there was no need for comparison. Surely, their daughter was the best.

“Let’s go home early. We still have to deliver food to the kids tonight.”

…

Molly claimed that when her mother came to deliver food, she could take care of her brother very

thoughtfully. When Coleen came to deliver food at six o’clock, this time her daughter was not sleeping

on her son’s hospital bed. Instead, she started to kneel behind Chad, unlocked his neck brace and

began to gently massage his neck, all while watching a movie on Chad’s lifted phone.

She was massaging and watching the movie at the same time, with Chad having no choice but to go

along with her.

Coleen questioned, “Why is your brother serving you again?”

“This is clearly me serving my brother. I’m massaging him.” Chad had made up a kind lie at noon, so

Molly believed she really could massage. Therefore, she had been massaging Chad’s neck for over

forty minutes that afternoon. And Chad had been holding up the phone for her for over forty minutes.

Molly took the phone from behind him, paused the movie, and put it in her pocket. She then put the

neck brace back on Chad. Afterwards, she got off the bed to receive the food box her mother was

holding. “Mom, have you eaten yet?”

Coleen answered, “Yes.”

“What about dad?”

Coleen replied, “He took your grandparents to the park. He’ll be here soon.”

Coleen picked up the water cup on the table and went out to fetch water for her son. In a short while,

Kendrick arrived. Seeing his children eating, he asked, “How is it?”

Molly had a bite of the potatoes. “This is definitely made by you.”

Kendrick couldn’t help but laugh. “You could tell?”

“No, it’s just that ,you love to put chili when you cook.”

“But I happen to love potatoes with chili.” Molly took another bite.

Kendrick laughed again. After his wife returned, he boasted about his little girl recognizing the dish he

prepared.

During dinner, Donnie’s call came in. Chad set down his fork and knife and moved off to the side to

take the call. “Yeah, go ahead.”

Donnie said, “Boss, the lead on your case has gone void.” In other words, it had become an unsolved

mystery.

Chad knew that the culprit was cunning and would not be easy to catch. He wore a mask, and gloves,

leaving no trace behind.

“Send me a backup copy of the video when the incident happened,” Chad requested.
