Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1864

Relying on the backup camera and her side mirrors, Mia carefully inched the car into the garage.

By the time they got out of the car, Aaron and Madison Irvin had already come out to greet them.

"When did you learn to drive so well?" Madison asked in awe.

"Just recently. I've been practicing at home in my free time," Mia replied, linking her arm through her mother's as they walked inside.

Aaron immediately scooped up his little grandson. Andre cautioned him, "Aaron, you don't need to carry him. Your arms will ache after a while."

Aaron naturally ignored his son-in-law, carrying his grandson all the way to the living room and refusing to put him down.

At the Arrowood family home.

Mars was on the phone with Milka. "It's New Year's Day. Today's almost over, so you better hurry back first thing tomorrow morning. I'm dying over here. Every day feels like a year."

"I know, I know. My tickets are already booked. Just make sure you're at the station to pick me up tomorrow," Milka replied.

"Obviously. Who else would I be picking up?"

Milka laughed. "Stop rushing me, I'll be home tomorrow. What are you having for dinner tonight?"

"Just standard base food."

"No special holiday dinner?" Milka asked.

Mars scoffed. "I'm saving the good stuff to eat with you when you get back."

Milka smiled warmly. "Then you'll just have to wait. My parents and I are making homemade dumplings tonight."

After hanging up, Milka rolled up her sleeves and walked out to help her family in the kitchen. "Mom, my train leaves at eight tomorrow morning. I won't get in until two in the afternoon."

Milka deftly folded the pastry. "Once I get home tomorrow, if Mars wants some, I'll just make it fresh for him."

Leah scoffed. "If he wants some, he can just buy frozen ones from the store and deal with it."

Milka burst out laughing. A moment ago, her mother-in-law wanted to pack a massive feast for him, and now she was telling him to eat frozen food.

"Leah, are you just terrified of having typical mother-in-law drama with me?" Milka teased.

It felt as though Leah treated her far better than she treated her own son.

Leah kept rolling the dough as she spoke. "What woman isn't afraid of that? When you're a daughter-in-law, you worry about clashing with your mother-in-law. When you become a mother-in-law, you worry about fighting with your daughter-in-law. But I watched you grow up. I've never once worried about us having issues. Long before you even married Mars—I'm talking six or seven years ago—I made a promise to myself. I swore I would never interfere in your life with Mars. My only job is to take you out, spoil you, and have fun."

Milka looked at the food in her hands, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Actually, I was scared at first too. We started dating so young, and back then, girls who did that were looked down on. Mars wanted to march right home and tell you and Roberto we were together, but I refused to let him. I made him keep it a secret. I was terrified my parents would scold me, and that you two would think I was a bad influence."
