Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Leo: "I've been keeping track!" Anya: "..."

She was so startled that she backed into the corner by the door. Leo followed her, trapping her in the small space. "I'll let the 'sweetie' incident slide because it was minor, but come on, you have to spill about that guy on the beach." Anya tilted her head, "Chad, who?"

"The guy you gave your number to!" Leo had almost lost it yesterday.

Anya blinked, "No, I didn't."

Leo pressed on, "You were chatting with a guy on the beach yesterday, and you even handed him your phone."

"Oh, he just couldn't find his friend and wanted to borrow my phone to call them, so I let him..." Anya's voice trailed off as she spoke.

Leo, still fuming, said, "That was just his way of trying to get your number, don't you get it?"

Anya shook her head innocently, "I didn't realize."

Frustrated, Leo demanded, "Hand over your phone."

Anya immediately complied, and Leo started scrolling through her contacts.

With her hands behind her back, leaning against the wall, Anya bit her lip, thinking to herself: Did I really kiss baby that many times?

"Chad, are you done talking? I'm heading to bed," Molly was ready to leave when Chad pulled her back, "I've booked a room, where else are you gonna sleep?" Molly: "You booked it, so you sleep there."

She brushed past him and opened the bedroom door.

"I can let you start your maternity leave right now," Chad blurted out.

Molly paused, "What did you just say?"

Meanwhile, Mia pointed at the little one on the bed, "Henry, are you staying with Mom or Dad?"

Henry sat there, looking torn.

Andre chimed in, "Okay, here are your choices: 1, I'll handle your thesis. 2, No more household penalties. 3, I'll tell you a secret. Pick one and stay tonight." Henry had already stood up, hugging his mom, trying to get her to hold him, but then she changed her mind.novelbin

"What secret?" Mia asked, intrigued.

Half an hour later, the three women returned to their original room.

Mia and Molly were packing up their clothes when Anya came in, "Aunties, you're not planning to sleep here tonight?"

Mia and Molly exchanged knowing looks, "Anya, the 'too' in your question speaks volumes."

Anya pouted, "Chad said he didn't want me bunking with you two." Auntie's expecting, and Aunt Molly might be a bad influence.

After some convincing, Leo let her take her stuff back to his room, "If you don't listen to Chad, he's going to use an embarrassing photo of me as his Facebook cover."

Mia and Molly didn't take it seriously, "Embarrassing photos? We've got plenty of Leo's embarrassing pics. Molly, what made you agree?" The three women began their chat.

Molly coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, I'm dedicated to being a bit of a slacker, and Chad promised I could start my maternity leave if, went home. Plus, he makes a fair point about my habits, things can actually work on. Mia, what about you? Why did you give in? Was there a showdown?"

Mia, while packing her things and Henry's, said, couldn't win against him. My attempts were like kitten scratches to my husband. Andre just knows me too well! My thesis, my love for money, my curiosity for secrets-he hit all my weak spots. So he gave me three options: help with my thesis, scrap the household penalties, or spill a secret."
