Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1353

Anya took a few days off from university to head home and celebrate her baby brother's first birthday, and Leo tagged along for the trip.

Andre had been friends with the Calder family for years. Knowing they didn't have a big crowd of relatives and friends, he brought his wife and son over the day before the birthday to show some support.

Leo pulled out a tiny gold bracelet. "Uncle, I got this for him."

Andre just gave it a quick look, said nothing, and headed inside.

If he could be carried by Dad, he'd never touch the ground, but the minute he was set down, he'd toddle right into his brother's arms. Even trips to the bathroom had to be hand-in-hand with his big bro.
