Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 402

Mia propped her chin in her hand. Her cheek tilted slightly, and her mind was working again. She

began to eliminate possibilities. “Gambling is under strict surveillance now, so no gambling dens would

dare to hide people. Going to a club would cost money; if they had some, they’d probably gamble it

away, so they might not afford the club’s fees. If they went to a hospital, they could be admitted and

provided for before paying.”

Leo was excited. “That’s exactly what I was thinking. I initially tracked them for two days using

surveillance footage, but every time it was a wild goose chase...”

He was lured by the surveillance to a container yard, where he searched hundreds of boxes one by

one with the help of the police. They searched all night, but in the end, they returned empty-handed.

Following the map, he went to the surrounding villages to investigate. “Later, the dogs in the village

didn’t even bark at me.”

Mia and Molly broke into laughter. “Why?”

Leo replied, “I was there so often, so the dogs started treating me as one of their own.”

The girls laughed again.

Their laughter drifted into the living room. At the same time, Andre, having finished his work, just

returned home. The sound of his family’s laughter was the best remedy for any of his worries.

Hearing their laughter, Hansen also wore a smile on his face. There was nothing more joyful than

hearing laughter. Seeing Andre, Hansen pointed towards the backyard. “Go on. Your wife, your sister,

and your nephew are all together again.”

With a good mood, Andre headed towards the backyard.

“What happened next?” Mia asked eagerly.

Leo replied, “I couldn’t find them, and even made friends with a couple of dogs.”

Later, Leo realized that he and the police had been led by the nose. It seemed that the enemy had

predicted that they would rely solely on surveillance.

Ellory and Kyle had no close relatives, so Leo was kind of their only grandson and nephew.

After some time, Leo calmed down and thought about where Ellory and Kyle might have gone, places

that he had overlooked. In the end, he narrowed it down to a suspicious place—the hospital.

Because if there was one thing Ellory and Kyle were good at, it was pretending to be sick.

They would always fake illnesses to get Naomi to send them money for treatment. Without the

machines showing they were fine, they could easily fool the doctors.

Leo had been in West Meadows for several days at that time, with no progress. He didn’t feel like

calling home yet. With a try-and-see attitude, he roamed around the city and investigated all the

hospitals, but he found no information about the two.

This time, Molly was fascinated and asked, “What happened next?”

Leo answered, “Hospitals require patient information, but there’s one place where it’s not necessary

because the patients might not even know their own names.”

The sisters were puzzled. Mia asked, “Why wouldn’t they know their own names?”

“Because they’re mentally ill.”

“What?”

Leo replied, “They were found in a mental institution.”

The sisters were shocked, especially Mia. “How did this happen so suddenly?”

Molly also couldn’t believe it. “Are they pretending or are they really mentally ill?”

Leo said, “From what I could tell, they are really mentally ill.”

Andre also heard about his nephew’s experiences. He walked from the living room to the backyard.

“Well done.”

Leo looked up at Andre, with a proud smile on his face. That was the pride of accomplishing a task, like

getting a perfect score on a test and bragging to his parents. “Uncle, I’m back.”

Andre nodded at his nephew, and pulled a chair from the side. Mia quickly patted the seat next to her.

Her little hand was beckoning her husband. “Honey, quick, sit here.”

Her actions were reminiscent of a schoolgirl saving a seat for her friend.

Andre complied. As soon as he sat down, Mia got up, and moved her chair closer to her husband,

leaving no space between them.

Andre had a deep love for this clingy little sweetheart. He thoroughly enjoyed Mia’s blatant reliance on

him. He was deeply in love with her, so he had no resistance to her gentleness. He wished he could

crush her, keep her in his arms and take her everywhere.

After being away for several days, Leo didn’t manage to keep his mouth shut on his first day back. He

pointed at Mia. “Can’t you be a little more reserved? I’ve never seen a woman like you. You cling to him

day and night. When will your honeymoon phase end? You’re always so lovey-dovey. Aren’t you

embarrassed? Don’t you know that couples who are too clingy end up breaking up?”

Mia took a deep breath. She turned to look at Leo who was notoriously chatty. “Say one more word!

How dare you say that in front of me?”

She casually picked up a fruit from the side, a big apple, the kind that hurt the most when thrown. She

accurately threw it towards Leo. “I cling to my husband during the day. Does that bother you? I hug my

husband at night. Are you jealous? We’re lovey-dovey. You don’t even have a wife. You’re just jealous.

And you even curse us to break up? Do you really think I won’t fight because I’m pregnant?”

As she spoke, Mia reached for a chair nearby. Andre chuckled. He grabbed his wife’s little hand, pulling

the feisty little wife into his arms. “Come, sit on my lap.”

Leo sighed. His uncle, as always, didn’t warn him with words, but his actions spoke louder than words!

Mia shamelessly went over to her husband.

Leo turned to Molly. She propped her face in her hand. Her mouth was making ‘tsk tsk’ sounds. “I don’t

know what’s wrong with your mouth. At least when I insult people, it’s directed at others. You just keep

shooting yourself in the foot.”

Leo declared, “With your temper, Chad is going to have a hard time in the future.”

“Why are you talking about Chad?” No one cared about Chad more than Molly. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Leo said, “I'm not gonna tell you.”

Then, his leg was kicked hard by his aunt, with no regard for family ties.

And so, Leo’s status in the Cedillo family, after being away for several days, skyrocketed in less than

an hour, only to be brought back down to earth in a flash. It was like when students get home from

school, parents are only sweet to them for the first two days, but by the third day, they’re already being

nagged at.

Meanwhile, Andre was holding his grumpy little wife. He turned his head, soothing his wife’s back. His

other hand was gently touching her belly. “Once the baby is born, I won’t stop you from doing anything.”

“Sounds good.” Then Mia’s gaze turned towards her nephew. Leo felt a chill down his spine.

Andre turned back, looking at his nephew, asking, “Where did you arrange for them to stay?”

Leo said, “They’re in the hospital. I’m going to stay there tonight to watch over them.”

Andre nodded.

Mia was still feeling the shock. “Could they be pretending? I find it so unbelievable. How could they

have gone mad out of the blue? And not just one, but both of them.”

Molly, who was super cunning, therefore suggested, “Leo, why don’t you catch a snake tomorrow and

throw it into their ward to see how they react?”
