Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Henry chirped, "Okay!"noveldrama

After getting Henry bathed, Mia tossed him onto the bed and stepped out to tidy up the leftovers from dinner.

Noticing this, Noah quickly jumped in, "Ma'am, the secretary can handle that in a bit."

"Everyone's swamped as it is. This is just a quick chore, no biggie. You all keep at it." Mia swiftly cleaned up the trash, wiped down the table, and straightened up the sofa and scattered leaves in the office. "Babe, I'm heading back to the study to hit the books."

"Alright, but leave Henry out here."

"Nah, you're busier than me. I'll keep an eye on him inside."

The pair, one caught up in business matters, the other diving deep into her studies.

The little one sprawled on the bed enjoying cartoons, perched on his mom's lap watching her scribble; then he started rifling through her backpack, tossing books everywhere before diving in himself to play hide and seek...

Around ten, Mia, yawning, gathered her books and, with her son in tow, popped out for a moment, "Honey, we're turning in. Wrap up soon and join us."

Andre nodded, "Make sure you're snug and the window's shut."

Mia didn't know when Andre finally came to bed. But she felt a gentle kiss from him before drifting off; it was a soft, sleepy feeling she cherished but was too tired to fully wake up for.

In the wee hours, Andre slipped into the bedroom, seeing his wife and child snuggled together, leaving a space for him and a warm feeling in his heart.

The same bedroom, which once felt cold and dreary when he stayed alone at the company, now felt like home with his family beside him.

Andre always said, his wife and son were his good luck charms. Just having them close made everything brighter The next morning, Noah came in, "Boss, stock prices are climbing again, the investigation's wrapped up, Bruce is back on board, and our overseas divisions are steady."

Things were looking up, except for one lingering issue... public opinion.

Over in Waterlily Heights, Anya hovered behind her boyfriend, "Chad, let me give you a shoulder rub, you haven't left the house all day."

Leo: "Silly girl, grab me some water."

Leo's "right-hand gal" immediately fetched it, "Chad, what do you fancy for lunch? I'll whip it up for you."

"Craving something sweet." Living together had made Leo more open. The guy who once thought girlfriends were a hassle now said to her, "Babe, want me to warm up your bed? Babe, should I scrub your back in the shower?"...

Anya would blush and retort, "...Chad, you're such a tease."

Leo gave her hand a pat, "Go watch some TV; I'll take you shopping tonight."

Andre reached out to the authorities to clear up some public opinion issues. By afternoon, every online mention of the Cedillo family had vanished.

Everyone assumed Andre was behind it, but Andre frowned, "Get in touch with Leo, since he's no longer part of the Cedillo family, he's to steer clear of anything related to them from now on!"

Even Noah knew when to hold his tongue in front of his boss, "Sir, if you're concerned about Leo, maybe you could... Yes! I'll handle it straight away."

Before he could finish, Noah, under

Andre's intense gaze, didn't dare say more and quickly went to work. "Oh, by the way, sir, I found out that Haverbrook has a boarding school for kids over a year old, it's O

top-notch. I'll send you the details shortly."

Andre: "..."
