Chapter 866

Molly was just hanging out with her dad, watching a boy band competition on TV. She turned to him and said, "You know, Dad, your beard could use a makeover. How about we dye it pink and give you a trendy new look? Look at those boy band members with their flashy

hair colors. They're rocking it! Since you're bald, we could at least spice up your beard."

Her dad wasn't too thrilled and insisted she was being cheeky. "I'm spending my money to give him a treat, and he's still running to Chad to tattle on me."

Mia plopped down beside them, chuckling, "Why not go all out and make Dad's beard a rainbow? That way, my kid won't need toys anymore, and I'd save a ton of cash!"

For Mia's chubby little boy, his granddad's colorful beard was like his personal playground. She could already picture him snuggling in his grandpa's arms, gazing up at the rainbow-like beard with those big, curious eyes, sparkling with pure delight. Naomi, watching the sisters' antics, chuckled, "Mia, shouldn't you wake up Henry by now?"

Mia suddenly remembered her little guy was still snoozing. She dashed upstairs to wake him up. When he wouldn't budge, she started a livestream for her husband. "Look at your lazy son. I've even picked him up, and he's still out cold. I might just have to spank him awake."

Andre quipped back, "Make sure you take off his diaper first."

Chad always made time to call his wife, "Hey, did Dad ring you?"

"Nope. Did he ask you to come pick me up again?"

Molly laughed, "Yep, you guessed it."

Chad, munching on his lunch, let out a soft chuckle, "Just keep it cool for a couple of days, don't ruffle any feathers, and I'll deal with you when I get back."
