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."

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."
