Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 957

After school, she waited in their rented apartment for her boyfriend to get off work so they could head out together and pick a gift for little Henry.

In Andre's office, he watched his ever-active son crawl around, the little one holding onto his dad's finger, leading him into all sorts of mischief.

Experts always say you shouldn't hit kids; you should teach them instead.

When Andre saw his boy trying to smash a glass cabinet with a cup, he gave him a few swats on the bottom, claiming it was more 'education' than punishment.

Leo and his girlfriend strolled through the mall, browsing various displays. Leo commented, "Instead of buying that chubby little guy gold or silver jewelry, why not get him a thick jacket?" "Why's that?" Anya asked, puzzled.

Leo, having had his own struggles with overbearing parents, replied, "A thick jacket is like better armor."

So they headed to a baby boutique.

Sure enough, before winter even set in, Henry got his first puffy jacket.

Molly also received her first winter coat, a gift from her husband. "Better to be too warm than too cold," he said.

Molly corrected him, "The saying is 'warm in spring, tough it out in autumn."

Chad quipped, "Back then, people were poor and good at making excuses. We've got money, so we don't have to listen to old sayings."

It was the first time Molly realized Chad could out-talk her.

They needed two gifts for Henry-one from Leo and one from Anya.

As the moon rose, the couple, done with their self-study, decided to take a stroll to mix a little fun into their routine. Suddenly, Leo's phone buzzed with an unknown number. Ever polite, he answered, "Hello?"

On the other end was Paige, in tears, "Leo, are you with my dad?"

""No," Leo replied, clueless about the situation.

"Do you know where he might be? I asked everyone at the office, and they said he often invites you along when he goes out. Any idea who his close friends are?"
