Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1168

As the wait dragged on, Conner realized relying on his godson was like betting on a long shot. So, he stepped inside, watching his cheeky little godson silently snatch a sweet treat.

Annie, completely lost in her novel, was oblivious to her surroundings. Any noise was simply dismissed as her colleagues. She flipped another page, engrossed.

It wasn't until those tiny fingers snagged a lollipop that Easton chimed in, "Caught red-handed! Time to nab our little thief, huh?"

Startled, Annie snapped out of her reverie. "A thief?"

"Sweetie!" Annie exclaimed, delighted to see Henry. "How did you get here?"

"All you see is your godson, huh? Forget about his godfather?" Conner teased, feigning annoyance.

Annie finally noticed Conner and her face lit up. "Conner, you're back? When did you get here?"

Conner hoisted his godson into his arms and mock-complained, "Henry, you didn't do a single thing I asked. And now you're swiping candy from your police mom.”
