Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1347

Mia gave her son's little bottom a firm smack. "Do you even know what you did to the notes I prepped last night?"

Henry sprawled across her lap, lower lip wobbling with pure injustice. Why was it that being the youngest always meant he got in trouble? He'd only noticed Mom's notebook looked "dirty," so he'd helpfully marched it to the sink and given it a good rinse. Who could have guessed that would backfire?

Mia shook her head, exasperated. "Funny, I've never seen you this eager to help before. Your own dirty laundry sits there for days, but you're quick to 'clean' my notebook—and your dad's watch, too! Wow, what a thoughtful little guy you are."
