Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

In another bedroom.

After Mia returned, she went straight to her husband's arms to cuddle Henry.

Henry, wanting to be a good boy, turned towards Mia. This time, Andre spread himself out, blocking his wife from hugging their son.

Mia, feeling annoyed, grabbed her husband's shoulders and tried to take Henry, "I let you hold him earlier, and you didn't. Now you won't let me? Give me the child!"

Henry clung onto his mom's sleeves, refusing to let go as if his dad was the big villain preventing him from getting to his mom's comforting embrace.

Finally, Henry managed to snuggle into his mom's tender arms, his little mouth wide open, immediately planting wet kisses on Mia's cheek.

Mia, holding her little bundle of joy, endured her son's slobber with a loving smile.

The room fell into a hush, neither Andre nor Mia spoke, just taking turns holding their son. The bedroom was filled with Henry's fearless babbling, lying on his mom's face without a care. His little hands poked at his mom's chunky knit sweater, making a hole in it, and then curiously started playing with the fabric.

After a few minutes of silence, Andre broke the ice, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me about Leo?"

"That's everything Molly told you." Mia glanced at her husband and asked, "Andre, have you cooled down?" "What did you call me?" Andre's sharp gaze met his wife's.
