Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Anya, feeling a bit helpless, admitted, "I didn't even realize there was something wrong with my laptop. I couldn't find many of the icons and didn't want to bother you, so I tried downloading some software myself, following online tutorials to fix it." But the more she downloaded, the slower her computer became. It wasn't even two years old, and she didn't use it for gaming or binge-watching series. Yet, here it was, barely functioning, with even the cursor lagging.

Mr. Calder instructed a servant, "Please make a pot of tea; it looks like we might be here a while."

The servant hurried off to fulfill the request.

Once Leo had everything adjusted, Anya tested it out and, to her delight, exclaimed, "Chad, it's perfect now!" She found herself looking up to the young man with admiration.

Mr. and Mrs. Calder found themselves inexplicably warming up to Leo.

"If you keep escorting me, you'll end up taking me all the way to the Cedillo family," Leo joked.

Anya looked down, feeling a bit upset. Slowly, she reached for the door handle, opened the door, and got out.

Leo watched her every move, finding it hard to leave.

Standing at her front door, Anya waved at Leo.
