Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1281

Manager Mason was floored when he saw the tiny tot in the CEO's arms and then glanced over at Andre, his disbelief evident. "Andre, did Henry really decide to try rock climbing today?"

Andre nodded, bending down to set his little guy on the mat. "Go on, give it a shot."

Henry looked around, completely baffled, as some kids were already scaling the walls like pros.

Turning back, Henry's little hands latched onto his dad's leg, the picture of a clingy kid.

Andre chuckled, picking up his son and placing him at the base of an easy slope, hoping to put a little scare into him about climbing.

Andre's plan was straightforward: give his son a little fright to keep him from climbing recklessly in the future.

But...

That afternoon, while chilling at home, Mrs. Cedillo called her husband, "Hey, babe, where are you? Are we having dinner at your place, mine, or are we just staying home?"

Andre's household was the Cedillo family.

Mia's household was the Irvin family.

Their homes were nestled in Maplewood Estates.

Andre watched his son, now totally engrossed in climbing, refusing to come down. What was meant to be a lesson had turned into Henry finding pure joy in it.

"We're at the climbing gym, and... I don't think we're making it to dinner."

"Why?" Mia perked up.

Andre glanced at his son, lost in the beginner's area, "Can't pry him away."

Mia knelt, wiping his sweat. "Daddy brought you here to climb? Did you have fun?"

Henry nodded, "So much fun!"

Mia smiled, "Alright, three more climbs, then it’s dinner time. If you don’t listen, Daddy might spank, and Mommy’s not stepping in."

Henry’s little face scrunched up, not thrilled, but he got the gist.

As the kid went back to play, Mia asked her husband, "Honey, why'd you bring him here, of all places?"

Andre sighed, a bit exasperated, "It was supposed to be a lesson." Instead, it turned into him discovering a new passion.

When Henry struggled with a grip, Andre handed the rope to the manager and went to guide his son’s tiny hands. "Reverse grip, hold tight down here. Test your footing to make sure it's solid before stepping; if it shifts, don’t step."
