Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 830

Before bed, Andre was scrolling through his phone and noticed it had gotten dark outside, but his nephew was still hard at work, tapping away on the keyboard. He found himself watching the same video over and over again.

Meanwhile, Mia was cuddling their son to sleep. "Honey," she said, "try on the clothes I bought you today. I picked out a dark blue short-sleeve shirt for you. Put it on, let me see if it fits, and I got you some socks, thinner than the ones before."

Henry, thinking she was talking to him, opened his big, bright eyes wide. "Mommy~"

"Mommy's right here, don’t worry. I got clothes for you too. Now, close those eyes and sleep tight."

Andre put his phone down and asked, "Didn't you get anything for yourself?"

"Of course, I did. I’m not just here to spoil you two and leave myself out," Mia said confidently, happy to use her husband's credit card without a second thought.

Andre took their son, who had resisted sleep for half an hour, and said to Mia, "Why don't you try on what you bought? Let's see."

As the night wore on, Leo was still busy. "I’m sure someone has tampered with this, and it’s not just anyone. But I still need to find out exactly which part because the video is so long."

Conner glanced at the clock and said, "You’ve got work tomorrow. Leave the computer here and check when you have some time."

Leaning back in his chair, Leo said, "Uncle, didn’t you say the stuff on this computer shouldn’t be shown to outsiders?"

Conner chuckled, "I’d be wary of others, but not you. It’s crowded at your company during the day, and being a tech firm, it’s risky."

He got up, not wanting to keep his nephew any longer. "By the way, Leo, you haven’t had dinner."

Leo replied, "No worries, I won’t starve."

Conner, seeing the late hour, added, "Next time we meet, dinner’s on me."

After seeing him off, Leo noticed the parcel pickup was closed and headed back.

Meanwhile, Molly saw her father wasn’t home and decided to head back to the Byrne family with Chad.

"Grandpa, Dad's off on vacation to the summer resort. I'll check how it is tomorrow, and if it's nice, I'll take you and Grandma for a little getaway this weekend."

Grandma Aubree and Grandpa Elmer, being thrifty their whole lives, immediately declined. "It must cost a fortune. We’ll stay put. Even just running the air conditioning is expensive enough."

Coleen chimed in, "Come on, Mom and Dad, what’s there to worry about? Molly’s making her own money now, let her treat you."

"Yeah, Grandpa and Grandma, I’ve got it covered. Don’t worry."

Later that night, Molly stood outside her old bedroom. "Chad, can I come in?"

Chad laughed, "What’s with the formality?" They were married, yet here she was, knocking on his door.

Molly pushed the door open, grinning. "Chad, about that $50 you borrowed from Mia? She’s still holding a grudge. I've been playing peacemaker, which has been tough. So, could you update me on the case progress? I’m asking on behalf of Mia."

Over at the Cedillo family, when Henry finally drifted off, he was moved to his own room. Mia snuggled into Andre’s arms, playfully draping her legs over his. "Honey, spill the beans. Molly wants all the gossip, especially anything linked to Conner. You wouldn’t want your buddy feeling all alone while we’re living it up, right?"

Officer Chad smirked, "I could tell you, but why would I?"

"Because I’m the wife you’ve adored since childhood," Molly cooed, trying to sweet-talk him into sharing.
