Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance -
Chapter 763
Whenever Henry was moving sluggishly, he had no clue that his parents were sneaking him back and forth. It's a classic trick parents pull on their kids.
The soft, adorable little guy had been handed off several times between his mom and dad. Finally, Andre gently took the chubby bundle from his wife's arms. When Henry was on the verge of crying, Andre quickly wrapped him in a blanket and patted his little bottom soothingly. The rosy-cheeked baby nestled into his dad's arms, rubbing his tiny face against him, and fell back asleep.
Being parents means constant worrying, always checking to see if your kid is too hot or too cold.
But Andre was more worried about his wife. He draped his suit jacket over her as she slept.
Mia blinked groggily. "Honey, I thought you were going to cover our son with that."
"No need. Feel him—he's like a little furnace. He's so warm, he's warming me up. I might start sweating if I hold him any longer."
Without her son in her arms, Mia slept much better. Holding a twenty-pound baby could really make your arms ache.
Mia still felt the soreness in her arms.
In the middle of the night, Henry woke up fussy and started crying again. This time, Andre popped a pacifier into his mouth. "Henry, look, Mia is sleeping. Listen to Daddy, don't cry. I'll go make you some formula, and then we can walk around a bit, okay?" Henry continued to whimper softly.
Andre, holding the baby, headed to the galley. A flight attendant quickly came over to help.
Seeing the bright lights, Henry got restless. Andre held him upright, and soon after, Mia woke up and joined them.
A baby about to cry calms down quickly in his mother's arms.
"Why did you wake up? I didn't want to disturb you," Andre asked.
Mia yawned and, still half-asleep, said in a sleepy voice, "I'm used to sleeping with you two beside me. When you're both not there, I can't sleep well."
The flight attendant smiled. "Andre and Mrs. Cedillo, you two have a wonderful relationship."
Mia looked at her son drinking his formula and smiled. "If we didn't get along, would I have had a child so young?"
Henry acted like his mom wasn't talking about him.
After feeding, they changed Henry's diaper in the restroom. This time, he stayed asleep until morning.
Molly woke up and checked the time on her phone while still in bed. "The plane hasn't landed yet; I'll sleep a bit more."
Chad, getting dressed, said, "I'm heading to the station. You get some more sleep, and don't forget to pick up some tea for me when you go shopping." Molly waved tiredly. "Bye."
Last night, after returning, Chad had grilled her again, bringing up what she'd said to Anya. "... Mia and I are too scared to even think about divorce..."
In Chad's mind, he automatically ignored "Mia."
Thus, Molly lay on her pillow, unable to fall back asleep.
Chad, in his uniform, went downstairs, seeing his grandparents already seated at the dining table. "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm heading to the station. If Molly isn't awake yet, don't bother her. She'll wake up when she's hungry. Tell my parents I said hello when they get up." Grandma Aubree said, "Chad, dear, have some breakfast before you go."
Chad replied, "I've got to rush; I'll eat at the station."
After he left, Grandma Aubree and Grandpa Elmer watched their grandson leave, dressed so formally, with pride. In their hometown, everyone envied them because their son was an official, and they were proud of two things: "First, our grandson is a policeman. Second, our granddaughter is the prettiest girl for miles around."
Molly woke up hungry around ten.
Stepping outside, she stretched and said, "Mom, I'm starving. Is there any food?"
Coleen, resting her face in her hand, complained to her husband, who was reading the newspaper, about their daughter upstairs. "If she wasn't our daughter, as a mother-in-law, I'd definitely disapprove. Even if a fairy married my son, I'd still replace fault." Kendrick glanced at his drowsy daughter coming downstairs. "Without Chad, she'd probably never get married. Let's not start. Here she comes. You know you can't win an argument with her, so why bother?"
Molly joined the family in the living room, cuddling up to Grandma Aubree, and greeted everyone. "Good morning, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa."
Coleen, despite her complaints, loved her deeply. "The kitchen's saved some for you. What time do you go to bed that you can sleep till ten? Why not sleep till noon?"
"If I wasn't hungry, I wouldn't just sleep till noon; I could sleep till ten tonight," Molly replied and headed to the dining room, where the housekeeper served breakfast.
Molly, in her pajamas, remained the same as before at home. The only difference now was that everyone accepted her and Chad's marriage. Previously, to her parents and elders, she was still a child. Now, to them, she was thoroughly a wife.
As she sat there, messy-haired, occasionally picking up food with her chopsticks while leaning on the chair and scrolling through her phone, Coleen couldn't stand it any longer and turned to scold her, but then noticed a cluster of dark red "cherries" on Molly's neck and quickly averted her gaze.
"Eat your food. Play with your phone back in your room," Coleen said, turning away from her daughter.
Molly, unaware that her attempts to hide the love bites had been exposed due to her focus on her phone, retorted, "It's not interfering. I'm multitasking, eating and playing on my phone, which even exercises my brain to prevent dementia in old age." Coleen sighed. "...Whether you'll have dementia in old age, I don't know, but I do know you'll definitely go blind."
Molly, still looking at her phone, replied, "Computer radiation is much stronger than phone radiation. If you're worried about me going blind, then don't let me inherit the family business. That would protect me even more."
Coleen, exasperated, turned to her husband, pointing at their daughter and shaking Kendrick's knee. "Look at your daughter. She's driving me crazy."
Kendrick, always smiling, said, "Alright, calm down. I'll talk to Chad when he gets back."
"Dad! I am me, and he is Chad. You should discuss my matters with me, not involve Chad." Chad was really out of line.
Grandma Aubree also stepped in and said, "Molly dear, your mom had surgery last year and she's still not fully recovered. You should watch your words."
"Got it, Grandma." Molly put down her phone and took another bite of her breakfast. "Mom, I was just checking flight information. Andre and his family went abroad yesterday. I'm looking to see if there's any video from Henry in the group chat."
