Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance -
Chapter 750
Teddy watched Mia walk away and asked Andre, "Andre, isn't this, well, not exactly domestic bliss?"
Andre shrugged, "Domestic bliss and a bit of chaos aren't mutually exclusive."
After changing clothes and coming downstairs, Henry, now looking like a little doughboy, was handed over to his dad.
Andre, strong as ever, could rein in Henry's little tantrums with just one hand, while Mia could barely keep up with their son on her own.
As the adults ate, Henry's hands were gently held by his dad, keeping him still. His eyes followed Andre's fork, and he stared hungrily at his dad chewing.
At the dinner table, when everyone found out Mia had an exam the next day, they offered, "We can look after the little guy for you."
Mia was skeptical, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, we came to see our godson," Asher said.
Henry turned his head, looking at Asher, his godfather.
Mia double-checked, "You're really okay with looking after my son?"
Teddy sensed something was off, "Is there a problem?"
The thought of someone willingly taking care of her son surprised Mia; it had been a while since she encountered such generous souls, this time four at once. She quickly waved her hands, "No, no problem at all." She had been wondering who to leave the child with the next day, and here were people offering themselves.
Without any hesitation, Mia said, "Take him, for as many days as you like. If it gets tough, just ask Andre for a salary."
Andre looked down, indulgently at his son, knowing he'd be well looked after the next day, "Go on then. Give your godfathers a good time tomorrow."
Conner wasn't pleased, "Why would you call my son a troublemaker? He's just a little cream puff, how can he cause trouble?"
Mia immediately stood with Andre's brothers, "Exactly, how could you say that about my son? He's adorable! Can something adorable be trouble?" The principle was clear: not to give these volunteer babysitters any chance to back out.
Conner raised his glass, "To Mrs. Cedillo, cheers."
Mia raised her drink, clinking glasses, "Brothers, feel free to visit anytime. Take good care of Henry."
Henry was clueless, utterly lost.
Since Mia had an exam the next day and needed to study, the gathering at Andre's house didn't last long, and everyone left soon after dinner. Before leaving, each person hugged Henry, "See you tomorrow."
After everyone had gone, Mia stood at the door, telling her husband, "Honey, let's prepare some gifts in advance, for apologies tomorrow."
Andre, holding the hefty Henry in one arm and his wife's shoulder with the other, headed back to their bedroom.
The next morning, the family of three was having breakfast when all four men arrived.
Four wealthy men squeezed into one car. The night before, they had argued about who would accompany their godson first, ending with no conclusion. So, they decided all four would come together. Mia, seeing them, couldn't help but smile, "Brothers, hold on, I'll get your package ready."
Andre found his wife and brothers getting along so well quite amusing, feeling very pleased. Soon, a servant went to deliver breakfast.
"We're good, already ate."
Henry, still groggy from just waking up, sat on his little stool, looking at his godfathers in bemusement.
"Mars, quick, take a photo with your phone, look how cute our son is now," Conner nudged the person next to him.
Mars replied, "Hold on, focusing."
"Share it in the group," Teddy, usually quiet, hit the nail on the head.
Asher added, "Need the original."
Not long after, Mia came downstairs with a canvas bag, "Three sets of clean clothes, three diapers. Since you're new to this, I've included ten packs of baby wipes. Also, formula, and a thermos..." Mia, worried they might forget, was thinking of how to jot down instructions for them.
Mars reassured, "Don't worry, if we can't handle it, we'll just call Andre, or worse comes to worst, bring the kid to his office."
"Good thinking." Mia gave Mars a thumbs up, then took her son, wiped his little mouth, and handed him over to Teddy, "Thank you, gentlemen, have a wonderful day. If anything comes up, my husband's your man. I'll be at an exam with my phone off." "Don't worry, we won't drop the ball," Conner assured.
And so, under the watchful eyes of the couple, Henry was carried away, still unaware of what was happening.
Shortly after, Mia ran out to remind them, "Almost forgot, make sure to crack open the sunroof when driving." "Why?" they wondered.
"You'll thank me later," Mia said.
With that, Henry was taken to the car, and they drove off.
Before even leaving Maplewood Estates, Henry's little mouth began to quiver, "Wu-wu wu."
"Why's he crying already?" Mars was puzzled, "Asher, the sunroof, quick."
As the sunroof opened, Henry looked up, watched for a bit, then continued crying.
Mia was off to her exam, while Hansen called his second son, "When are you bringing your son over?" "Handed him off to someone else, take a break."
Hansen, hearing this, felt a moment of joy reminiscent of being told of an unexpected school holiday.
In the morning, Mia was busy with her exam, marking answers and calculating, while her son was at the mall, surrounded by four doting men shopping!
Mars suggested, "Teddy, I noticed Henry always spills food on his clothes. I think we need to buy some extra at the baby store."
Asher added, "Let's also stock up on formula; you've seen how much he can waste. Let's buy dozens of cans."
Teddy cautioned, "It might expire, buy less."
Conner said, "You've held him long enough, my turn."
After the child was handed over, Henry, fascinated by the bright mall lights, forgot to cry.
Teddy proposed, "Let's also buy some toys. We don't visit often; might as well get his toys for the year."
"I like that idea," Asher agreed.
And so, early in the morning, four men and a little bundle of joy headed to the baby store...
Leo, meanwhile, attended another job interview, and his inbox also received a few invitations for job interviews that he passed.
Sitting in his car, Leo opened his laptop on the steering wheel and got to work right away.
Anya's call interrupted his workflow. "Chad, where are you? I brought you some delicious treats, but I can't get into your room."
"Just ask the reception for a spare key and wait for me inside. I'll be back soon."
"I'm at the reception right now," Anya complained, sounding a bit hurt. "I asked them, but they refused to give me one. I even told them I'm your girlfriend, but they still wouldn't." Leo chuckled softly, "Hand your phone to the receptionist. I'll talk to them."
Hearing that Chad was taking charge, Anya immediately perked up, proudly handing her phone over to the receptionist, "Here, it's Chad on the line for you."
