Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1411

"Leo, this is a bit of a mess. Let Grandpa break it down for you."

"Hey, nephew, keep an eye on Naomi, okay? Don't let her sit around by herself."

Meanwhile, on the phone, there were a mix of voices: "Big brother!" and someone sobbing, "Waaah!"

Leo groaned. "Can you five just pick a spokesperson? I've seen less chaos at a county fair."

"I figured as much. You don't sound anything like Grandma."

Hansen piped up, "Watch that smart mouth, kid. Say that again and I'll come over and knock your front teeth out. See if you can sass me then!"

Mia jumped in, "Dad, focus. Stick to the point, please."

Hansen got back on track. "Right, so here's what happened last night..."
