Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 720

Leo swallowed hard and softly urged, "Let's head back."

Anya shook her head stubbornly, feeling guilty for Chad getting kicked out. "I'm sorry, Chad."

"There's no need to apologize. I should be thanking you. Anya, I've never felt this relieved before. You voiced my fears, allowing me to face my uncle. Thank you for giving me the strength." Anya's voice trembled with tears. "Chad, I want to go with you."

"Go back," Leo said gently.

Anya shook her head, clutching Leo's shirt hem, afraid of being left behind.

"I'll come back for you. My girlfriend is here; I have to come back for her," Leo reassured.

Anya's face flushed, guessing the truth but still wanting confirmation. "Chad, your girlfriend, where is she?"

"Right in front of me."

Leo called out to Mia and Molly, who were peeking around the corner, "Come on out."

Mia and Molly, both married women, sheepishly walked out, embarrassed about spying on the couple.

"Leo, your uncle was just hot-headed. Give him a couple of days to cool off. I'll talk to him at Maplewood Estates, and you can come back to stay," Mia suggested.

Knowing his uncle's temper, Leo entrusted Anya to them. "Take care of my girlfriend for me; I'll be back for her."

Leo got into his car and drove away, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation as he saw the three figures getting smaller in his rearview mirror.
