Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1862

Hansen Cedillo immediately scolded his son. "Why are you leaving? Who heads home this late at night? Isn't this your home too?"

Mia wisely stayed quiet during this exchange, letting her husband take the brunt of the crossfire.

"We have things to take care of at home. For New Year's, Mia and I are taking the kid to my in-laws' estate. Cooper isn't going to be around for the holiday," Andre explained smoothly. "When you all have time, you should go check on Anya."

Hansen scoffed. "...Oh, how awkward." He knew perfectly well that checking on Anya really meant checking on that rebellious grandson of the Cedillo family.

Naomi still wanted to persuade them to stay, but Mia chimed in. "Naomi, I really have things to do at home too."

Naomi seemed to suddenly understand something. "...Alright, then. But you have to come back and stay with us after New Year's."

Bruce Cedillo was very different at home compared to the office. At work, he issued orders, but at home, he rarely had a say in minor family matters.

After dinner, the family watched as the family of three got into their car and left into the night.

Returning to their own home, Mia felt significantly more comfortable and relaxed.

After several recent snowfalls, the snow around the house had melted, though a thin layer of frost still covered the surface of the lake.

The moment mother and son tried to sneak closer to the water, Andre's voice rang out. "You two, get back here right now!"

Hand in hand, the two of them obediently scurried back.

Henry was no longer strong enough to shake the large ginkgo tree, but he was a pro at playing on the swing beside it.

That night before bed, Mia was still arguing with her son. "You're washing that jacket yourself."

"I'm not doing it!"

Andre chimed in. "If you don't wash it, you won't have anything to wear."

Henry shot back. "I have new clothes."

"Your new clothes are dirty too," Andre pointed out.

Henry retorted, "Then Mom can just buy me more."

Mia crossed her arms. "Mom isn't buying you any more clothes."
