Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Once everything was set, Andre tried the setup himself, making sure it would give his son a lesson without actually hurting him. "Henry, come here," he called.

Mia had drawn a picture of a power switch on a piece of paper, coaxing Henry over to touch it.

Gullible as always, Henry went for it-and the next second, his cries could be heard all over Maplewood Estates.

Andre picked his son up and took him to the real power outlet, guiding Henry's hand toward it. This time, Henry's face flushed as he cried even harder, yanking his hand back and looking at Mia, desperate for Mom to save him.

After that, Henry never tried to shut off Grandpa's computer, yank out Mom's charging cable, stomp on Dad's office power switch, or poke around the fridge's wiring again.

Meanwhile, Leo made the trek back to Willowtown every few days to see his girlfriend. Afternoons were spent holed up in her hotel room, and only late at night did he walk Anya home.

That day at the hotel, Leo found his girlfriend cuddling her little brother. He couldn't help but think, My future father-in-law is a sly old fox-he's learned plenty from decades in business. There was no escaping the watchful eyes.
