Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 838

Hansen was feeling a bit bored, so he handed his phone over to Mia, asking her to hook him up with one of those short video apps. He'd gotten into the habit of checking it out during his downtime, even catching a few musicals here and there, trying to keep tabs on what the younger crowd is into these days.

As Mia was setting up the app for him, she couldn't help but tease, "Dad, you're picking up all the bad habits."

Gaming, gambling, scrolling through endless short videos; binge-watching shows, eating way too much, and staying up all night. It seemed like the generation gap was shrinking fast.

But Mr. Johnson? He was feeling a bit lost, with his wife and dad throwing around slang he couldn't make heads or tails of.

Hansen decided to give his daughter a call, "Hey, can you see me? Where are you?"

"I'm on vacation," Hansen replied. "It got too hot this afternoon, so I came back to chill for a bit." Just before drifting off, he noticed something about his daughter. "What's going on? Where are you?"

"The factory caught on fire, Dad. I can't chat now, I'll check it out once the fire's out."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, don't go in there, just stay out."

Molly replied confidently, "Relax, I'm with Mom."

After hanging up, Molly was ready to follow Coleen inside, but Coleen stopped her at the door, "Stay put, don't move."

"I'm going in too," Molly insisted.

"Keep arguing and I'll smack your hands!"

Molly was speechless. Usually, she could handle her mom's scolding, but with Annie right there, it was embarrassing.

Annie chuckled softly, understanding that Molly wanted to follow her mom to feel safer. She chimed in, "Coleen, maybe you should stay out too. Let the police handle it."

Coleen hesitated,
