Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 970

Mia chimed in with a smile, "Relationships are all about keeping in touch, you know?"

Leo, peering at the sunset outside, couldn't resist a cheeky comment, "Funny, I don't see the sun rising in the west and setting in the east!"

Mia, catching his playful tone, grabbed a book off the table, ready to chuck it at him. But Leo quickly held up his chubby little boy as a shield, warning, "Mia, I'm holding your son here. You throw that book, and he'll be the one in trouble!" Henry, blissfully unaware, kicked his legs and giggled with delight.

Anya, sitting nearby, was itching to hold the baby, but she hesitated, her fingers fiddling with the edge of the blanket.

Finally, she got up, ambled over to Chad, and, with a swift move, snatched the little one from Leo's arms. "Go ahead, Auntie, you've got a clear shot now!" she declared, her voice light and playful.

Leo barely had a moment to react before a couple of books thudded against him. Meanwhile, Anya, holding the baby, chuckled gleefully.

Leo pointed accusingly at his girlfriend, "Anya!"

Anya, nestled between her aunt and uncle, grinned, "I'm heading home with you guys. This place is getting too risky."

Leo couldn't help but accept defeat; after all, he did choose her.

Back at Leo's place, his sisters checked in on his plans. "Does the family know you quit your job? Are you going to tell them?" they asked.

Leo shook his head, "No need. I've only told Dad to keep him from worrying. With exams around the corner, I'm focusing on studying. Once that's done, I'll look for a new job. Right now, acing the entrance exam is my top priority." Mia nodded, "When's your lease up?"

She hadn't forgotten that rent was a hefty monthly expense for Leo.

"I paid for six months upfront and a month's deposit," Leo replied. "So, no worries there." Relieved, Mia picked up Leo's political science study materials. "Mind if I take these, Leo?"

"They're all yours," he replied. "I was planning to give them to you anyway, so go ahead."

Mia tucked them into her bag, smiling, "Prepping for this exam feels like a family project. My husband is picking schools, my brother's sorting materials. Dad's helping with the kids, and even my nephew's gathering news highlights for me. My little boy lies beside me while I study, 'cheering me on'."
