Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mars lost his cool. "I'm a colonel now! Milka, when we broke up, I was already a lieutenant colonel. Did you ever take our relationship seriously?"

Milka felt a wave of guilt. Another promotion? Seriously?

"You're my ex, not my boyfriend. So what if I didn't keep track? If I was really that invested, would we have broken up in the first place?"

Mars shot back, "You've got a new boyfriend now, so why are you still hanging around me? You don't ask for money, you never need favors, but you keep showing up. Just spit it out-what do you want?"

Milka froze. New boyfriend?

She glared at him, raising her voice. "You've got a son, but you're worried about whether I have a boyfriend? Was that your wife you called earlier? You were whispering, asking if your son had been kidnapped, like you were afraid your wife would find out you're still chatting with your ex."

Mars said, "Not just a son. Got a daughter now too."

Milka stiffened for a second, but quickly recovered. “Yeah right. Who are you trying to fool this time? Probably just borrowed someone else's kid again. Last time it was that chunky little rascal who climbed onto my chair and tried to yank the petals off my roses-wasn't that your godson?"
