Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 976

"I just can't figure Annie out. She's got zero interest in anything-gold, silver, jewelry, checks, cash-you name it, she couldn't care less. The only thing that seems to catch her eye is my godson," Conner said, feeling utterly defeated. Now, he had to rely on a little bundle of joy to get a woman to notice him.

Andre shot back, "That just means you're not trying hard enough."

"Man, you have no idea what kind of woman I've got my sights on. I've bent over backward for her," Conner vented his frustration.

Ever since Annie had taken the initiative to care for him one day, he thought she might have feelings for him. But after just one night of care, when he asked her out for dinner the next day, Annie flatly turned him down. "I took care of you to thank you for inviting me to little Tiger's first birthday. Don't read too much into it."

Conner later "cleverly" figured out that she'd look after him if he was drunk. So, he'd drink until he reeked of alcohol, then his buddy would call her, "Sis-in-law, the boss is drunk, and we can't handle him. He only wants to see you."

The unyielding woman replied, "Knock him out and take him away."

His buddy tried again, "...Sis-in-law, just come and take care of the boss. Your word is the only thing that works."

"During work hours, if you want me to come out, please dial the emergency number and follow the standard procedure to request a police officer."

With that, the merciless woman hung up.

Conner then pretended to be sick.

"Sis-in-law, the boss was ambushed and shot; he's in the ER about to go into surgery. He wants to see you one last time."

There was a pause on the other end before Annie said, "Let his soul come to see me then."

And the call ended once more.

In his friend's office, Conner pointed out the window as if looking for some backup, "Tell me, what kind of woman is she?"

He then dramatically pounded his chest, "How heartless must she be?"

Henry watched his godfather pounding his chest, then curiously looked at his father's chest. He clenched his tiny fist and mimicked the action, "Ah ba ba."

Andre looked at his friend, puzzled, and asked, "Conner, did you forget that the police can track your location through your phone number?"

Conner was speechless.
