Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Anya sat sandwiched between the two women.

Molly scrutinized Anya's face. "Goodness, your skin is as smooth as a baby's!"

She had initially misconstrued Anya's relationship with Andre and nearly went off on her, but Anya was obviously so naive.

Anya pursed her lips, turning to look at Mia. She had heard that Mia was a hard-nosed woman, quick-tempered and a brawler. She also had heard she was well-behaved, lively, and adorable. Then Andre told her that she was a playful, spoiled little girl. However, she felt that this woman, her aunt, seemed quite gentle.

"Auntie, may I touch your belly?" Anya asked.

"Of course," Mia replied generously. She opened her arms, letting Anya's hand rest on her belly and gently caress it. "The baby was quite active just a while ago, but it seems like he's taking a nap now."

Anya laid her hand on Mia's belly, careful not to press too hard, tenderly feeling the life within.

"Where's Leo?" Andre was the first to notice the birthday boy was missing.

The forgotten Leo, standing at the foot of the stairs, finally caught the family's attention.

Naomi called her son over.

Leo trudged over reluctantly. Taking a seat next to Molly, he sat in the spot Chad had vacated.

Naomi asked her son with a smile, "Do you remember Anya?"

He had noticed her the moment she stepped through the door. She was the girl who lost the fight and got whisked away in the middle of the night. She was pleasant to the eye but of no use. "Nope, can't recall." Leo said.

Anya glanced at Leo from across Molly. She didn't remember him either.

Naomi laughed, "Leo, you once saved Anya when you guys were kids. Don't you remember?"
