Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Little Henry seemed to know just how much his dad adored him. Whenever his dad gently offered him warm water or marveled at his tiny, tender fingers, Henry stayed calm and cooperative, happily letting his dad hold him close.

Mia nudged Naomi, "Naomi, check out my husband."

Naomi glanced over and chuckled, "Andre's such a doting father now. He's completely smitten with the baby."

Anya was the same way; wherever the baby was, she was right there beside him, keeping watch.

Lately, Leo had been running on empty, barely getting any sleep. As soon as he got home, he'd crash in his room. Naomi, knowing her son was slowly taking on the CEO role, figured he was just worn out and told the staff not to bother him. Mia, bumping into her best friend by chance, exclaimed, "Molly, what brings you back?"

Molly replied, "Missed Dad. Thought I'd get to the office early today and spend more time with him over the next few days."

Mia glanced over at Chad and let out a soft "Oh," before sitting next to her husband.

Molly wasn't planning on leaving. Chad, noticing his wife's sulky mood, thought about leaving before it got too late.

Hansen tried to keep his son-in-law from leaving. "Why the rush? Isn't the Cedillo family your family too?"

Chad saw his wife's distracted demeanor as she played with Henry and realized she didn't want him to stay. So, he reasoned, "Dad, I've got a meeting in the city tomorrow, and my suit's at home. Let Molly stay here for a few days; she wanted to come home. I'll come to pick her up."

After that, Chad went over to give his adorable nephew, Henry, a cuddle. "Uncle's got to go," he said, holding the baby like a pro despite not having kids of his own.

"Goo goo ga ga," Henry cooed.

Chad handed Henry back to Molly, saying, "I'm off," before leaving.

Not only did Mia sense something was off, but even the usually clueless Anya noticed that the aunt and uncle seemed to have had a spat!
