Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 544

Leo only discovered the true reason behind the Byrne family's visit from Anya and Jade later on.

"They didn't come to propose."

Leo explained, "No one proposes with such meager gifts, and certainly not without giving us a heads-up first."

Anya gazed at Leo with admiration, "Chad, how do you know all this?"

Jade quipped, "He's just doing his homework for when he has to woo his sweetheart."

"Woo who?" a clueless Anya asked again.

A brief, tense silence fell over the room.

Anya seemed to catch on, disbelief mixing with realization. She looked at Leo, who was already looking back at her.

Anya felt like her heart could stop right then and there!

Leo's intense gaze briefly met hers before he turned to Molly, "You're all talk, Jade. Why did you clam up when Chad was supposed to pop the question?"

Jade found her outlet for frustration, "Like it was easy to hold back? I had a ton to say, but Mia's hubby gave me one look, and I couldn't even whisper a punctuation mark."

All eyes shifted to Mia, who was cradling her baby.

"Don't look at me. I handle the finances at home, but all the big decisions are in my baby's dad's hands."

The baby, now well-fed, joined the conversation with a "goo and gah."

"See, even my one-month-old gets it," Mia said, gesturing with her bundle of joy.

Leo, with mock disgust, "Mia, you're always so tough. How come you roll over when my uncle's around?"

Mia shot back, "And you're supposed to be tough as nails. How come you bolt when your uncle lifts a finger?" Leo: ""

Anya watched the three bicker, chide, advise, and solve each other's problems, a sense of envy in her smile.

"Auntie Jade, Auntie Molly, Chad, you guys have such a great bond."

Anya felt no such exclusion with them. She had experienced the warmth and affection of her fiery-tempered aunt and the protective nature of her eloquent aunt. Now, as the three argued, no one seemed truly
