Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 881

Anya always made sure to bring either one of her bags or her house keys whenever she popped by.

Leo handed his phone to Anya, saying, "Go ahead and order us some takeout. I'm jumping in the shower. Once you've had your fill, come sit with me while you study."

Anya cut straight to the chase, "Chad, I already know all this stuff. You just wanted me over because it's been ages since we last hung out. Admit it, you miss me and don't want to be alone."

Leo chuckled, "Ms. Anya, you might want to aim a little higher. Your boyfriend's a tech genius, and you're settling for a basic computer course?"

Anya grinned, "Hey, as long as one person in the family is a superstar, we're good. If an uncle's a big shot, his wife can kick back a little. In our case, let me handle the pressure while you binge on your shows, sound fair?" She stuck her tongue out, and Leo pinched her cheek playfully, "Just order the food."

Anya protested, "Takeout's not the healthiest, Chad. There's a supermarket downstairs, and we've got a perfectly good kitchen here. Why not come with me to the store, and I'll whip up something special for you?"

Having grown up around his uncles, Leo had always thought girls shouldn't be confined to the kitchen, "No way, just order. If you're worried about it, I'll take you to a nice restaurant tomorrow."

Anya knew his reservations all too well, "Chad, your uncle doesn't let your aunt in the kitchen because she might burn the house down, and your other uncle's worried about his wife setting the place on fire. But I'm not like that. I love cooking. Come on, skip the shower for now and let's hit the supermarket. I want to shop and cook for you. Please?"

Leo, not thrilled about the heat outside, was caught off guard when Anya went to his closet and pulled out an all-weather umbrella.

"When did you stash this here?" he asked, surprised.

Anya knew his place better than he did.

She covered her mouth with a laugh, "I had a feeling it might rain, so I got one just in case. Come on, Chad, if you don't come with me, I won't hang out with you!"

With a resigned smile, Leo grabbed his keys, "Alright, let's do this."

Before long, Leo was trailing behind Anya to the supermarket downstairs.
