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."

The Cedillo family.

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.

Uncle got hugs, Auntie got cuddles, and when Dad came home, Henry would instinctively open his mouth for a bite before Dad could even give him a kiss.

Not long after, Anya arrived home too.

Mia grabbed her hand, pulling her aside. "So, which house did you end up signing for?"

"It's the second listing Aunt sent, a whopping $2500 a month. Chad said it's close to work, and I can walk there in the mornings, saving on gas. So we went with that one," Anya explained. 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."
