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.

When he saw his nephew, Andre couldn't help but ask, "Did you remember to bring a gift?"

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.

Leo was left scratching his head until Mia sidled over and explained, "My husband was worried you wouldn't know the whole gift-giving thing, so he bought something on your behalf-just in case. But since you brought your own, Andre's present ended up going to our little Henry."

That's how Henry ended up with a mysterious gold locket from his own dad.

At the Calder place, Henry was shy at first, glued to his dad's arms. But once he settled in, he lit up-pushing off the couch with his little hands and wobbling over to join his big brother.

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.
