Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 975

When Grandpa George handed his walking stick to his grandson and sauntered towards the door, little Henry stood there, as cute as a button, not moving an inch.

As Grandpa George reached the door and noticed his little buddy wasn't following, the living room suddenly fell into a hush. It was like time had stopped for everyone, including Henry. "Alright, I'm off then, back to sort out the family business," Grandpa George announced, waving as he strode outside.

No sooner had he left than Henry turned with a puzzled look towards his dad. Kneeling down, Andre said gently, "Grandpa's gone, so he won't be here to play with you tonight." Henry's lips quivered as he dropped the walking stick, and soon the room was filled with his whimpers.

Out in the yard, Grandpa George heard the cries.

A little while later, Andre came out holding Henry, and Grandpa George quickly asked, "What's with the tears now? Didn't I let you play with my walking stick? Don't cry, my little treasure." Henry reached out his tiny arms, longing for his grandpa.

Naomi stepped out, chuckling, and explained, "Andre just told him you weren't staying to play tonight. He tossed the walking stick and started crying."

Holding his little bundle of joy, Grandpa George beamed, "See, I knew it. My grandson loves me, not the walking stick. I'm indispensable around here." Deciding against his earlier plans, Grandpa George returned inside, saying, "Grandpa's not leaving, let's play some more."

When Mia got home that evening, she heard Grandpa George boasting, "Mia, you wouldn't believe how close my grandson and I are now." Mia, eyeing the top of Grandpa's head, teased, "Dad, aren't you cold in winter?"

"Uh?"

The next day, Mia met Jamie and shared, "Jamie, my dad says being bald isn't cold." "Your dad's bald?" Jamie recalled a man with a full head of hair from months ago.

Mia waved it off, "I've got another dad."

"You asked him directly?" Even Denny, eavesdropping, couldn't resist the gossip.

Mia turned around, "Yeah, and because of that, my dad refused to babysit last night."
