Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance
Chapter 785

Chad had already chopped enough meat for the stir-fry, but hearing Molly's comment, he laughed and cut an extra piece. "If you're well-fed, I'll be satisfied tonight too."

Molly: "...How about we go vegetarian and have green onion and tofu for lunch today?"

After cooking, the couple, who had woken up late, sat down in the dining room to eat.

While insisting she wouldn't let her mom eat, Molly ended up grabbing a bowl and running to the living room to feed Coleen some meat.

Henry also woke up from his nap, unusually quiet, and played in his crib for a while, kicking off his light blanket. He could hear the voices of his family in the living room, and knowing they were nearby, Henry stayed calm and played quietly. Andre, always the concerned parent, would occasionally check on his son to see if he was too hot or too cold.

That's when he saw the little legs sticking out from the wooden crib, the blanket gone, only his little feet kicking freely.

Andre smiled gently, walking over to the crib and replaceing Henry awake, sucking on his fingers.

Looking down at his son, Henry looked up with his chubby little face, his soft and obedient nature melting Andre's usually stern heart.

"Da-da-"

Henry's voice carried into the living room, drawing everyone's attention.

As Andre reached out to pick up Henry, the boy excitedly raised his arms, asking to be held by his dad.

"When did you wake up? You didn't even cry."

Naomi hurried over, as if Henry had learned some incredible skill, praising him for a long time. "Henry, you don't cry when you wake up now? How about you sleep with your great-aunt tonight?"

Mia went to prepare the formula, and Naomi continued to chat with the family about the idle talk from before. Soon, Hansen, feeling the summer sleepiness, got up to go to bed.

Henry, holding his bottle, drank his formula, while Bruce pinched his little nephew's feet, chatting with his brother.

Life always reveals itself in the mundane, ordinary yet warm and common.

Anya was also dropped off at the Calder family's house, where her parents were already waiting at the front gate.

Leo got out of the car with many gifts, besides those prepared by his parents, he also had some of his own. Anya didn't want Leo to spend money, but Leo said, "I've already bought them, and they won't take returns."

Anya nagged Leo the whole way, saying he didn't know how to manage money, that he was a spendthrift, had no sense of crisis...

Leo simply took out his bank card and handed it to Anya.

Anya: "..."

"The PIN is your birthdate. I'll deposit three thousand dollars into it every month. There's also a few thousand dollars in there, my salary from working at the Cedillo Group. Unless it's a big deal, I won't touch this card, okay? You save and plan for me." After a lot of nagging from Anya, Leo's bank card silenced her, her lips tightly shut, stopping the endless chatter. "Chad, when did you get this bank card?"

"Last year, it's my salary card from working at the Cedillo Group, why?"

Anya pouted, "You got it last year, why set the PIN as my birthdate?"

This time, it was Leo's turn to be silent.

Later, Leo explained, "They asked for a PIN when I was setting it up, I just entered something easy to remember."

Anya chuckled and then, seizing the opportunity to tease, deliberately clarified, "Oh-so Chad liked me already last year~"

Leo directly pinched Anya's cheek, "...Who gave you the confidence to say I liked you last year."

"You did, it was you." Anya grabbed Leo's wrist, stopping him from pinching her face.

Scientists say that frequent pinching can make a face rounder. That's why babies have chubby, round faces, though not many people pinch them, but people do kiss them, loving to suck on their adorable cheeks. And thus, they become rounder. While a round face is indeed cute, a woman's pursuit of beauty surpasses cuteness. Anya wanted a slim face, beautiful in Chad's eyes.

Knowing her thoughts, Leo scoffed, "I don't like people who are skinny as a rail. If you dare get that skinny, I'll get a pig's head for you to eat, and if you can't finish it, don't think about getting back together with me."

Anya, with tearful eyes, questioned, "Chad, why are you different from other people's boyfriends~"

Leo: "Are other people's boyfriends mass-produced? All the same?"

Anya: "..." She was once again left speechless by Chad's retort.

She didn't understand why, after playing with her aunts for so long, she still hadn't learned their tricks.

She stubbornly refused the bank card, "I won't take it-"

Leo: "You dare."

Anya rebelliously handed him back his bank card, "Chad, it's your money. We're just dating, not married. I won't manage your money."

Leo parked the car on the side of the road, pinching Anya's cheek with both hands, "If you don't manage my money, I'll make your face as chubby as Henry's little round face!"

After saying that, he teased his cute brother again, "Just like Henry's chubby cheeks at home!"

At the Cedillo family mansion, the little baby finished his milk and sneezed in the living room.

The whole family watched him sneeze, as curious as if discovering a new continent, replaceing it extremely novel.

Then, after sneezing, the little one scared himself and started crying.

Bruce quickly instructed the servants, "Is the air conditioning too low? Turn it up, don't let the child catch a cold."

The Cedillo family's living room was lively once again.

Anya was forced to accept Leo's bank card, "Then remember to transfer money next month. I'll download a banking app to monitor you."

Only then did Leo drive away, satisfied.

Arriving at the Calder family's house, his status was different this time.

Last time, as a distinguished guest of the Cedillo family, Anya stayed with the Calder family, so the Calder couple were very polite to him.

This time it was different; he was the man who had wooed the Calder family's Mars, and it was his turn to be respectful and courteous to the Calder couple.

Originally, I planned to have lunch on the go with Anya, but we found out that the Calder family had been preparing a feast since early morning to welcome her home.

Mr. Calder looked over the lavish spread and felt something was off, "This looks more like a welcome for a son-in-law rather than my daughter."

Mrs. Calder retorted, "Son-in-law? We're nowhere near that stage. Don't jump the gun."

Once at the Calder residence, it was an unspoken understanding among everyone.

At the dining table, Anya said, "Mom, Dad, Chad is an amazing driver. He's been taking me to and from school every day."

Boasting about his driving skills was just a pretext; the real intention was to let her parents know how well Chad treated her in front of them.

The table was somewhat quiet, with Mr. Calder asking questions and Chad answering them.

Anya wanted to serve Chad some food, but in front of her parents, she cleverly served her mother first, then her father, and finally Chad, "Chad, you have to try this. It's my favorite - mozzarella-stuffed meatballs. They're delicious."
