Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 936

However, as he woke up, the real challenge began.

In the back seat, little Henry was lying there, bare-bottomed and bawling his eyes out, his tiny tush exposed to the great outdoors for the first time. Waking up to the sight of his not-so-familiar brother holding him, Henry, in his adorable innocence, hadn't quite grasped what was happening. His brother, unable to resist his cuteness, swooped in for a big, affectionate kiss.

That triggered the waterworks, and Henry was inconsolable.

Just as he was about to calm down, his well-meaning but slightly clueless brother plopped him in the back seat to change his diaper, cleaning him up.

"Come on, stop crying! Whether it stinks or not, I'm the best big brother in history for having to do this. You better look after me when I'm old, you hear?"

Leo used up half a pack of baby wipes on him. "Uh-oh, Henry, looks like I put your diaper on backward. Hold still, let me fix that."

Henry's cries echoed through the empty parking lot, his baby voice the only sound in the air.

While Anya was busy with her exam, Leo was keeping himself occupied. He tried honking the car horn to entertain Henry, but couldn't do that for long. Then he picked some wildflowers and tucked one behind Henry's ear. Henry paused, removed it, gave it a curious look, then resumed crying.

Leo even took him to the supermarket for some snacks, letting him pick whatever caught his eye.

Finally, Leo played what he thought was the silliest cartoon ever, "Boonie Bears," which Henry's mom loved.

Sure enough, Henry was glued to the screen.

Leo, slightly mocking, said, "You know, you could be watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' but I guess we’ll stick with this."

The moment the phone's screen went dark, Henry clutched his rice cake, his little mouth quivering, gearing up for another cry.

"Alright, alright, here, watch your favorite cartoon."

Back in their school days, Mia and Molly would sneak off to a café and watch this show on their brother's tablet.

Leo always thought it was ridiculous.

Anya was the first to bolt out of the exam room, swift as the wind.

When she reached the parking lot, there was Henry, perched on his brother's lap, milk bottle half-empty, rice cake nibbled, eyes glued to the cartoon on Leo's phone.

If anyone tried to distract him, he'd shoot them a quick glance before his attention snapped back to the screen. It wasn't clear if he understood a word, but Leo's shirt was a patchwork of Henry's tears and drool.

Seeing his girlfriend, Leo asked, "How'd the exam go?"

Anya nodded, "I’ve done it all before, no problem. Chad, what are you up to?" She cozied up to watch the third episode with Henry.

Leo handed Henry and the phone to Anya. At the restaurant, she couldn't tear herself away from the cartoon either.

It was a while before Anya finally put the phone down, avoiding Leo's eyes sheepishly.

When Leo went to pay, she murmured, "Chad, the phone's out of juice."

In the end, Anya took the phone to settle the bill.

After a hearty meal, they headed back home. Henry was sleepy, and once he nestled into his brother's bed, he dozed off peacefully. Anya joined in, cuddling the little one to sleep.

Leo charged his phone and soon got a call, "Leo, why haven’t you been answering?"

"My girlfriend was watching cartoons on it, and it died. What's up?" Leo replied.

Lee said, "You're closer to the office. Can you swing by and grab some documents?"
