Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1294

While Naomi was getting a bottle ready for little Henry, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I forgot something!"

As the young folks hustled about, the older ones and kids were enjoying their downtime, totally unhurried.

Over at Waterlily Apartments, Anya was busy packing up to leave. She was so excited, she even thought about taking all her clothes with her, like she wasn’t planning to come back next year. She dashed around the place, thrilled about finally leaving, gaining her freedom, and getting away from Chad—finally, she’d have a peaceful night's sleep.

The difference between Leo’s reluctance and Anya’s excitement was striking.

Just then, Leo’s phone rang. It was his dad, probably calling about their holiday plans.

Leo answered, “Hey, Dad.”

“What?” After hearing the news, he glanced at his excited girlfriend and then quietly stepped out to the balcony. “We’re going on a holiday for New Year’s?”

His dad, Bruce, replied, “Yep, we’re flying out the day after tomorrow at noon. You should pack some summer clothes for you and Anya.”

“Anya’s coming too?”

“She doesn’t know?” Bruce was surprised. “It’s a New Year’s trip for our families—the Irvins, the Byrnes, the Calders, and us.”

Through the sliding glass door, Leo watched Anya bounce around like an excited bunny, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “Got it, Dad. Thanks!”

He hung up and slid the door open, stepping back into the cozy apartment.

Leo perched on the coffee table, watching Anya as she stuffed a puffy jacket into her suitcase. “So, you’re happy to be ditching me, huh?”

Anya immediately wiped the smile off her face, shaking her head and pretending to be sad. “Not at all, Chad. I’m really going to miss you. I’m not happy one bit.”
