Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1637

"I'm fine, really. I don't feel a thing, but you all insist on making a big deal and dragging me to treatment," Jupiter grumbled, stubborn as ever.

Milka sat with her father for a while in the living room. The TV was blasting some military news, but she barely listened. Out of nowhere, she asked, "Dad, do you ever miss Mom?"

"Not at all." Jupiter shot back so fast, it was like he'd been rehearsing the answer.

Milka didn't say anything else. She just sat there, and even though the TV was on, the whole room felt strangely quiet.

Eventually, she got up. "I'm going upstairs to get ready for bed. Gotta be at the office early tomorrow."

Once she left, Jupiter felt irritated for reasons he couldn't name. He waved at his aide and grumbled, "Turn off the TV. Go to bed."

Five minutes later, Mars' phone rang. He was on his morning run, but he picked up. "Yeah? What's up?"

Milka's voice was sheepish, "How do you adjust your side mirrors?"

Mars snorted, "Seriously? Just wait for me. Don't touch anything."

Another five minutes and Mars jogged up in his workout clothes, still catching his breath.

Milka stared, "How'd you get here so fast?"
