Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"Can I kiss which baby then?" Anya still held onto a glimmer of hope about her boyfriend.

Leo paused for a moment before saying, "This big baby right here."

Frustrated, Anya stomped on his foot. "Big liar."

Holding a tray of her homemade treats, she announced, "Hey everyone, time for some egg tarts, mini puddings, and rice cakes!"

On the plane, some folks were catching up on sleep, while others were playing games and having fun.

People were eating, some were causing a bit of a ruckus.

Andre was watching his wife and father-in-law duke it out in a card game.

Chad was right next to his wife, giving her pointers.

Jade teased, "Dad, weren't you supposed to be the 'gambling god'? You've got three sticky notes on your face! Your title's a bit questionable now, isn't it?"

Hansen, slightly miffed, shot back at his daughter, "Winning with outside help isn't exactly honorable. Are you really proud of that?" He shot a glare at his son-in-law, thinking Chad was giving his daughter an unfair edge.

Leo, eager to help, chimed in, "Grandpa, try playing this card."

Hansen nudged him away with his elbow, "Get out of here. You're being a

nuisance. I know how to play."

Ignoring Leo's advice, Hansen played his cards his own way.

Mia quickly countered, and Leo commented casually, "Grandpa, looks like you're losing this round again."

Hansen gently swatted at his grandson's shoulder, "Shoo! Stop jinxing me. If I lose, it's all your fault for distracting me."

Leo rolled his eyes, "Even if I didn't say anything, you wouldn't have won. I'm off to find her."

Scouring the crowd, Leo shouted, "Hey, who are you sneaking kisses from?" Anya quickly covered her mouth, casting a guilty look at the sweet Wayne. Meanwhile, Hansen kept playing his hand.

Mia and Molly, the sister duo, were in perfect sync. Just one glance, and they knew exactly what the other was thinking, never losing a single game.

After a round, Hansen tossed his remaining cards on the table, lamenting, "I shouldn't have played the King. I should've gotten rid of the smaller cards first. Then you two would've definitely lost."

Leo, holding a little toy dragon, quipped, "Hindsight's 20/20. Foresight? About as sharp as a dull pencil."

The room fell silent for a moment before Jade gave her big nephew a thumbs-up, "That was as precise as a panda ordering takeout. Brutal."noveldrama

Hansen, fired up, stood, waving his decorative cane and pointing at his grandson and daughter, "Who are you two talking about?"

Warm, worried about getting caught up in it, quickly nestled into her husband's arms, looking up with a playful grin, "Honey, you saw it, right? I had nothing to do with this! I've been good!"

Andre chuckled, wrapping his arms around his playful wife.

Molly also sought refuge in Chad's arms, "Dad, I was talking about Leo. I'd never

badmouth my wise, brave, and heroic dad."

Mia mouthed to Molly: You're so fake.

Molly mouthed back: Survival mode.

Only Leo, bold as ever, said, "You had the biggest reaction, so who do you think I was talking about?"

Hansen, livid, blurted out, "I'll whack you with my cane!"

He raised the cane, accidentally hitting the plane's ceiling, prompting the sisters to jump up, trying to calm him down. "Dad, our entire family's here, take it easy." "Yeah, we can handle this after we land. If you need backup, Mia and I got you."

Henry, munching away and thoroughly entertained, wondered aloud, "Are they

going to fight? Or what?"
