Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 988

Leo: "Ms. Anya, you only accounted for what she bought from the Cedillo family, but not from the Byrne family."

Anya looked puzzled, "Why is Auntie so obsessed with buying clothes?"

"It's her husband; he's spoiling her on purpose. Letting her splurge so no one else would want her, then he can easily swoop in."

Familiar notification sounds for payments made had Chad shaking his head at the mess of his own making.

Leo took Anya out for dinner at a restaurant, only to bump into a couple just leaving. "With Christmas around the corner, I want to get a gift for my godson before heading back to Newtown. Care to join me in picking it out?" Annie: "Conner, this is the fifth time you've tricked me with the little tiger toy."

"And yet, every single time, you fall for it," Conner teased.

He grabbed Annie's wrist firmly, almost daring her to pull away. If she dared, she couldn't blame him for the circulation cut-off.

"Uncle, Auntie, you're here for dinner too?" Leo and Anya greeted the couple at the entrance.

Anya chimed in sweetly, "Hello Uncle, hello Auntie."

Conner sized up the young couple and their greetings, cursing internally: Damn, how did Andre manage to snag such a great pair!

These kids are just too charming!

"I'm not," Annie quickly denied.

Leo chuckled, "Auntie, what are you embarrassed about? Thanks for your help last time."

Conner, pulling his fiancée along, added, "Exactly, what are you blushing for? They're grown-ups." Pointing at Annie, he told the young couple, "Your auntie gets shy easily."

Leo nodded with a smile, "I know, it's typical when you're newly in love."

Annie tugged Conner to leave, eager to escape, "Let's go, aren't you supposed to buy that gift for the little tiger?"

"See you, Uncle, Auntie."

Anya waved, sweetly saying, "Bye Uncle, bye Auntie."
