Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia shot back, "Loyalty, huh? Our loyalty is with Anya."

Anya nodded, pressing her lips together in agreement. Leo: "..."

Frustrated, he slapped his thigh and turned to the two seasoned troublemakers beside him, "Uncle, godfather, you two started this mess, so you should fix it. I feel like the cream in an Oreo, getting squeezed from both sides."

Henry, sitting comfortably in his dad's arms, just looked around, clearly not bothered since he was just a little kid with nothing at stake.

Andre thought it over seriously, "Mia, sneaking off was my mistake. I messed up, and I own up to it. From now on, I'll make sure to help with your homework properly."

"What's your deal? Why would you help me with anything? Go help the person you love. I'm not your sweetheart, so why come to me?"

Andre pondered this, puzzled. Why was Mia so hung up on whether he loved her or not, instead of the fact that he snuck off?

Chad cleared his throat too, having never admitted fault to a superior, except for that one serious confession to his wife. "Molly, I know I was wrong to deceive you, and I'm admitting it."

Molly cut him off with a snort, "What, was the police station too cozy? Secret mission done? Did the S.W.A.T. team take a business trip here?"

"Molly..."

Leaning back against the couch, Molly scoffed, "You know, you guys are like lifeguards at an Olympic swimming pool."

Anya tilted her head, curious, "Auntie, what does that mean?"

Mia explained, "Seems useless, and actually is useless."

Anya pouted, feeling like she might've asked something best left unasked, leaving both her uncle and godfather unscolded!

Leo leaned back on the couch, his eyes on his girlfriend. He was definitely going to have a serious chat with her later. These past few days, she acted like he didn't even exist-kissing, hugging, and even sleeping next to other men! Chad went straight to the point, "I'm sorry."

"Wow, Officer Chad apologizing, that's as rare as a grandma getting double eyelid surgery. Truly eye-opening."

Next to them, Anya was tempted to applaud in admiration, but it felt a bit off to do so. She took a sip of her water to hide her awe.

Chad looked over at Andre, unable to go on. Andre, it's your turn.

Molly jumped in, "All three of you, answer together! If the answers don't match, it's over."

Mia counted down: "Three, two, one-"

Andre: "Yesterday,"

Chad: "Yesterday,"

Leo: "Today,"

After their answers, the room went silent.

Mia slapped the table, "That's it then."

Molly stood up, "See you."

As they were leaving, Mia quickly scooped up the little one from husband's arms, carrying their drama-watching son out with her.

Anya was about to follow when Leo grabbed her, "And where do you think you're going?"

Looking at Henry, Anya replied, "I'm going to cuddle the baby."

"You come back here. You're his

future sister-in-law; what

sister-in-law lets a one-year-old little uncle lead her astray every day?"

Anya glanced at the adorable baby again, pushed her boyfriend's hand away, "Chad, you know I love you the most, right!"

But she couldn't resist the baby's charm, and off she went.
