Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 979

Hansen chuckled, "I bet watching Anya fish the other day was such a blast that I couldn't resist joining in on the fun myself."

When Anya got home from school and found out that the little one had wandered off to the lake to imitate her fishing, she thought, "I'll wait until it's dark, when both the baby and the fish are asleep, to try fishing again." True to her word, at nine that evening, just as Mia returned from her grad school prep class, Anya grabbed a flashlight and headed out. "Anya, where you off to?" Mia asked.

"Fishing," Anya replied with a grin.

Since Henry was becoming more of a handful as he grew, the house was fortified with tall fences at the front and back doors to keep him from escaping. A white picket fence now surrounded the lake as an extra precaution. With the belief that eating fish makes you smarter, Chef Ning got busy in the kitchen, whipping up a tomato fish dish that filled the house with its mouthwatering aroma.

Soon enough, in full view of everyone, Anya hopped into a car heading to Leo's place for the weekend.

Hansen commented, "That kid's lucky to have crossed paths with Anya."

The chef announced, "Ms. Anya made tomato fish for everyone," adding a reminder that it was suitable for the little one too, though the fish head was Leo's treat.

Mia and Molly, after annoying their dad at the Cedillo family, returned home. But just a couple of days later, Hansen called them back for a fish feast, one needing brain food and the other some health boost.

Henry, determined as ever, stood on a stool with his hands on the table, kicking his legs as he tried to climb up and snag some food.

Mia meticulously picked out the bones and fed Henry small bites of fish. "Open wide," she coaxed.

"Ah- mommy," Henry chirped.

Mia savored her meal while holding her son.

When Andre left, Henry missed his mom's warm, fragrant embrace.

Sometimes, when Mia found a dish perfectly seasoned and easy to digest, she'd call out, "Henry, come here, mommy's got something tasty for you."

The little glutton, with his adorable chubby cheeks, would toddle over, take a bite, then scuttle under the table to play. No amount of calling would bring him out; he was lost in his own little world.

To coax Henry out, even Andre, a man held in high esteem, had to crawl under the table, gently pulling his son out by his tiny feet.
