Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Wayne's dad kept mum, but Wayne wasn't having any of it. Every time they sat him down, he was like one of those weeble toys that wobbled but wouldn't stay put. As soon as his mom set him down, he'd tip over to one side. With her patience running thin, she turned her attention to her darling nephew.

So, she enlisted Henry to teach his little brother. Consequently, Wayne became the "toy" his brother could play with, but no matter how much Henry tussled with him, Wayne wouldn't shed a tear. Yet, if a servant so much as brushed against him, Wayne would turn beet red and start wailing.

Henry slowly grew into his role as the big brother, sharing his cookies with Wayne. Wayne would open his little mouth, tongue sticking out just a bit, genuinely trying to eat...

In the evening, Officer Chad would come home, scoop up his sleeping son, and, without a word, plant a couple of kisses on him.

Henry watched this, his lips forming a pout, feeling left out, and he dove into his mom's arms.

"Missing your dad?" Mia picked up her little bundle of joy, asking the sulky little guy.

Henry sulked, burying his face in his mom's neck. He hadn't seen his dad in days and missed him terribly.

Chad quickly set his son down and reached for his nephew, but Henry wasn't having it. He clung to Mia's neck, turning his face away, refusing to let go.

Mia explained, "It's okay, he just hasn't seen his dad for a few days and misses him."

Mia took her son for a stroll in the backyard, chatting, "Your dad always spanks you when he's home, and you still miss him?"

Henry buried his face in his mom's neck, staying silent.

Mia suggested, "How about we go find Andre?"

As evening crept in and dinner time approached, Mia packed a backpack with a few changes of clothes and some study materials, slinging it over her shoulder like a diligent student. Cradling her little bundle, she changed shoes at the door, "Dad, big brother Naomi, Molly, Chad, I'm taking Henry out for a bit. We won't be back tonight."

"Mia, it's almost dark, where are you headed?" Hansen asked, a bit frantic.

Mia glanced at her son, who was buzzing with excitement to see his dad, "We're heading to the office to find my husband."

Rush hour traffic was a nightmare, with cars crawling along the streets.

Mia and Henry walked hand in hand, chatting, snapping selfies, and counting the

cars stuck in traffic, with Mia teaching Henry his numbers along the way.

When Henry got tired, Mia just scooped him up and carried him.

Halfway there, they spotted a café and joined the line, hand in hand. I'l have a mixed berries smoothie and for my son... actually, you stick with your formula."

After a quick sip of the smoothie for Henry, they continued on their quest to find the man they missed.

They finally broke free of the traffic jam, and Mia hailed a cab, heading straight for Cedillo Inc.noveldrama

By the time they reached the company, night had fallen.

Mia, with Henry in her arms, arrived at the CEO's office just as Andre was stepping out. The couple's eyes met. Henry, finally seeing his dad, burst into tears, reaching out with his little arms to be picked up.

Andre paused, surprised and delighted by the unexpected visit. The mother and

son duo had planned a surprise, keeping everyone in the dark.

Without missing a beat, Andre stepped forward and scooped up his little prince, "Hey buddy, missed your dad?"

The moment Henry saw his dad, all his bottled-up emotions spilled over. He hugged his dad's neck tightly, his tear-streaked little face pressed against Andre's, "Daddy!"
