Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo: "You're so smitten; just calling you 'sister-in-law' has you all starry-eyed." Anya, with a playful grin, shook Leo's arm. "I'd love to hear it more often."

"Don't worry, Henry will call you that plenty. You'll be sick of it soon." Leo chuckled, guiding Anya towards the car as they headed back into the house.

Anya leaned against the balcony railing, a satisfied smile playing on her lips as she took in the view outside. She pulled out her phone and started recording a video, planning to head home early today. "Aren't you planning to hang out with me until eight or nine?" Leo asked, a bit surprised.

Anya replied, "The little one's back home. I need to spend some quality time bonding with our baby."

Henry had the "tough" job of dropping the family off at work in the morning and welcoming them back in the evening, like a little sentinel.

Andre, holding his son, let the little boy squirm and wiggle in his embrace, planting sloppy kisses on his face. But his mind was still on what his niece had said.

"That's the going rate for downtown," Molly commented, "and renting the whole place would be even pricier. Leo's got a job. We should go check on him sometime. How are his roommates?"

Anya replied, "All guys, so I'm not too worried. But if Aunt and Uncle plan to visit, I need to clean up and set things up first."

Naomi interjected, "Don't trouble yourself, Anya. I'll go clean up for Leo. You've been working hard enough."
