Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 965

Henry, his face tilted skyward, scrambled to his feet and launched himself into his parents' arms. The last thing he wanted to hold onto were his parents.

Mia handed him a shiny chocolate coin, but he tossed it aside, insisting on being cuddled by his mom and dad. This little rascal!

Mia scooped Henry up, gently chiding, "Henry, you're way too young to be such a clingy mama's boy or daddy's boy."

Despite her words, the little guy kept clinging to his mom. When Mia stepped away, Henry turned his attention to his dad, hugging him as the next best option. He couldn't care less about the flashy toys, the red envelopes, or the shiny props on the table-his dad was all he wanted. Andre placed Henry on the carpet, and with a look of pure determination, Henry flipped over, crawled past all the props, little red footprints trailing behind him, and once again cozied up to Andre.

People tried to catch his interest with a toy gun, a drum, a paintbrush, books, and even coins, but Henry didn't spare them a glance.

Molly, always the commentator, chimed in from the sidelines, "Look at my nephew picking his dad during the grab test-proof that wisdom doesn't depend on age."

Everyone gave Molly a skeptical look, wondering if she was just making things up.

Pointing at the assortment of items on the table, Molly said, "Which of these could possibly outshine my Andre's status and worth?"

The room seemed to catch on.

Molly continued, "Why bother with these trinkets? Just holding onto his dad guarantees Henry a future as bright as can be. His dad's the big boss of Cedillo Group, a true leader in business. And as Andre's eldest son, Henry's the heir apparent. That's a much better catch than any of these toys."

The guests nodded in agreement. Made sense!

As Mia reappeared, her son immediately switched gears, snuggling into her arms like the perfect little angel.

"But wait, he reached for me first," Mia pointed out.
