Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Before Chad, her brain would just check out. But when it came to protecting him, she was suddenly a genius. Leo watched the soft, meek girl before him, his very own Anya, and couldn't help but think she was a delight. But why did they say he, the "hacker," had a crush on her?

Did he?

No way, that was just Anya's wild imagination.

Yet, Leo couldn't shake the thought from his mind: a crush.

Uncle Andre, ever the stoic guardian, paused before saying, "Let me know how it goes. And thank Anya's friend for me." "Got it, Uncle."

After dinner, Andre took his son for a walk, while Bruce joined to chat about work.

Out of the blue, the conversation shifted.

"Andre, let me hold Henry for a bit. You carry him every day; it must be tiring," Bruce said, letting his true feelings slip.

Andre looked down at the little bundle snuggled in his arms, as clingy as his mother, a real little kitten. "Big bro, you've had a long day at work too. He's not exactly light. I'll keep holding him." Bruce insisted, "You're tired from work too. Let's take turns."

And just like that, the sweet-smelling baby was whisked away by his doting uncle.

Bruce held him close, the wrinkles by his eyes deepening with his smile, "Our little treasure is so sweet, so adorable. Uncle loves him to bits."

Meanwhile, Mia and Naomi were video chatting with Molly about her wedding plans.

"Wedding photoshoot tomorrow?" Mia asked, clearly inexperienced with such things.

Over at the Byrne household, Chad came out with a bowl of chicken noodle soup, "Molly, eat less, stay slim, look good on camera," Officer Chad pleaded earnestly. Lounging on the couch, Molly was resolute, "Not eating."

She then turned to Mia, "Yeah, we've got several themes for the shoot."

Turning back to Chad, she said, "Bro, don't even try feeding me."

Curious, Mia asked, "What's up, giving up on food?"
