Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1337

Mia's grades came back better than expected, and Andre finally relaxed- suddenly, even his son seemed less of a handful.

When the national cutoff scores were posted, they were exactly the same as last year. Of course, Mia made it with room to spare.

Jamie did well, too—just nine points behind Mia-which was a huge jump for her. Honestly, she'd never imagined scoring this high before. Her whole family was over the moon. Even if she didn't get into Havenbrook University, there were still plenty of great schools she could aim for. But Jamie herself was still a bundle of nerves, hoping she could impress in the interviews and maybe, just maybe, make it to Havenbrook.

While Mia was at home prepping for her grad school interview, her little troublemaker, Henry, was up to something in her bedroom again.

There was a crash from upstairs-drawers opening and closing, things thumping on the floor. Mia paused, listening. "Henry?"

No answer.

She rushed upstairs and swung open her bedroom door, only to find her precious skincare collection-her fancy creams, serums, and lotions—all knocked over and rolling across the floor. Some bottles were cracked, others completely shattered.

And there was Henry, crouched on top of her vanity like a little gremlin, twisting around to give her that wide-eyed, innocent look, as if he had no idea what he'd done wrong.

"Henry!"

She'd just splurged on those products-top-shelf stuff, some jars worth several hundred bucks each-rewarding herself after the stress of exams, planning to start the new semester looking her best. Now, thanks to her little tornado, it was all ruined.
