Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1895

Henry wrapped his arms affectionately around his uncle's neck and immediately started tattling. "Cooper, Mom put me on her lap and swatted me on the plane!" He pouted his little lips, looking incredibly pitiful, which instantly broke Cooper's heart.

Cooper glared at the approaching couple. "Slowpoke, are your hands getting itchy again? Swatting my sweetie?"

Mia gave her brother and son a warning look. "Don't push me into making a scene in public."

Henry tightened his grip around Cooper's neck. His mom wasn't joking; she really would discipline him.

Cooper noticed Andre dragging the luggage. "Sis, where's the car? Weren't you supposed to pick me up?"

Mia blinked rapidly. "Uh..." She looked to her husband for help.

Seeing his sister's guilty expression, noting his brother-in-law handling the luggage, and recalling his nephew's complaint about being swatted 'on the plane,' the pieces suddenly clicked together.

Cooper swallowed hard and interrogated his sister. "Where were you off partying?"

"Newtown."

"Did you completely forget I was coming back today?"

"N-no, of course not," Mia stammered. The truth was, she had only remembered when she saw his missed calls right as they landed.

"You sound incredibly unconvincing," Cooper deadpanned.

Mia fell silent.

Holding his nephew, Cooper looked at the busy airport exit. "Other people have family waiting to pick them up. Meanwhile, the people picking me up arrived later than my flight."

If he hadn't been holding the one nephew capable of extinguishing his temper, he and his sister would have absolutely started a brawl right there. His brother-in-law would have had to break it up, and Andre Cedillo would have dominated international headlines the next day.

While waiting for their ride, Andre deliberately stood between the siblings, maintaining a safe distance just in case. They could fight when they got home.

Soon, the driver arrived.

Cooper tried teaching his nephew basic math, though Henry couldn't grasp it. When they were bored at home, Cooper would purposely speak to him in foreign languages to build his listening and communication skills.

When they wanted to have fun, Cooper would hoist him onto his shoulders and head to the arcade.

Sitting on his uncle's lap, Henry would excitedly mash the buttons with his little fists.

One day, Mia said to Denny, "We need to finalize Janice's divorce before the holidays. If we drag this into the new year, she'll spend the entire season an anxious wreck."

Denny agreed. Considering their client's emotional state, wrapping it up quickly was best.

"Regarding her husband's infidelity, we currently have zero concrete evidence."

They discussed this with Janice, who had already met privately with her soon-to-be ex. "He knows I want a divorce, and he's hired his own lawyer."

"He was always going to hire someone," Mia advised. "We can't let his actions rattle us. Think hard—is there anything that could prove he cheated? Even indirect evidence works."
