Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 885

Anya pouted, feeling a bit put out. "It was Aunt Mary who said it. She thinks Chad has a thing for girls like me."

Leo was fuming, struggling to find a place to vent his frustration. His mom was unknowingly throwing a wrench into his plans by creating unnecessary competition. "Get up. I'll take you home, and we can drop in on your future mother-in-law. I need to have a word with Mrs. Watson about what she's thinking."

Leo grabbed Anya by the arm, picked up her bag, and got ready to escort her. But then he caught sight of Anya's alluring outfit.

He quickly rummaged through his closet, pulled out a large white T-shirt of his, and slipped it over her. "Put this on."

"Chad, this is your shirt."

Leo cheekily replied, "I'm not blind, you know."

Once Anya was properly covered up, Leo finally felt at ease and held her hand as they headed out.

On the way, Anya sat quietly in the passenger seat while Leo laid down some ground rules. "You're not to wear that outfit again unless it's for me, in private." "And no kissing Henry. If you want to kiss someone, you come to me."

"Don't bother picking me up from work unless it's urgent. If you miss me, just wait for me at my building."

"And keep your distance from your future mother-in-law. She's got too much time on her hands. I'll have to find her something to do."

Anya muttered under her breath, "You're never home. What kind of task are you going to give Aunt Mary? You can't exactly give her a grandchild to look after."

Leo just sighed and pulled over, turning off the engine to sit in silence for a moment.

Anya glanced over, puzzled. "Chad, why aren't we driving?"

"Just... be quiet."

Leo took a few deep breaths, calming his nerves before starting the car again and merging back onto the road.
