Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 755

"Shh, don't tell anyone I said this, but men can be so petty. Even the big shots in the business world!" Mia whispered, her index finger pressed to her lips.

Her daughter, with her round, chubby face, mimicked her mom's "shush" gesture, eyes wide with curiosity.

Molly, cuddling her sister's adorable baby, reassured, "Don't worry. I'd never sell out my sisters."

Mia chuckled, "Good thing lying doesn't get you struck by lightning, or you'd be in trouble."

The two lounged in the living room, enjoying the sweet scent of freshly baked cookies, while the men sat outside, sipping coffee and chatting away.

Both groups kept to themselves.

At the hotel, Leo was out again, leaving Anya alone to study.

Around seven, Leo got back, takeout in hand. "Why don't you study at home? Why are you here again?"

"My aunt is always worried I'll go hungry or thirsty, and Grandpa always wants me to play board games with him. That's why I came here. Chad, where were you?"

"Busy with work." Leo set the takeout on the table. "Pack your stuff in the next few days. I'll drive you home."

"Chad, I'm not leaving. Even if you kick me out, I'll stay at the hotel."

"I'm moving out soon anyway. If you want to stay, stay by yourself."

Anya, determined, said, "Then I'll stay."

Leo tried to scare her, "The hotel is haunted. I won't stay with you."

Anya, facing her mischievous boyfriend, said, "If you're honest, you have nothing to fear. I'm not afraid!"

Leo looked at her, confirming, "Really not scared?"

Anya nodded confidently, "Not scared of ghosts and ghouls."

Leo smiled, "Alright, let's eat and find a movie to watch."

He opened his laptop and went straight to the horror section. "What movie shall we watch?"

Anya got nervous just glancing at the thumbnails.

As she hesitantly opened the takeout boxes, Leo suggested, "Let's watch this one. It's also about a hotel and supposedly based on true events."

Anya lowered her head further, twirling her fork in her pasta.

Seeing her reluctance, Leo teased, "Scared? You've done nothing wrong; what's there to be afraid of? Come on, I've got a subscription. Let's watch together."

"Chad, save your money. Don't waste it on subscriptions~"

"It's fine. Just the cost of a meal. The movie's starting. Let's watch."

Anya refused to look up.

"Chad, computers are for work. Watching videos will affect its performance. Let's not watch."

"This computer can handle it. Watching a movie is the main event," Leo retorted, providing a running commentary.

He was determined to extinguish Anya's desire to stay at the hotel with him.

Even without watching, Anya could tell what was happening from his lively commentary.

"Look, the elevator doors are opening. Here comes the thrilling part," Leo urged.

Curiosity got the better of Anya, and she sneaked a peek. The screen wasn't as thrilling as the music made it seem, but a sudden freeze frame followed by a shocking image made Anya scream, covering her eyes.

Leo, seeing her startled, asked, "Still want to watch?"

Anya shook her head.

Leo continued, "There are more exciting scenes coming up."

Leo was taken aback, "Hey, if you're in my bed, where do I sleep?"

"That's your problem for not walking me," Anya stated.

"Fine, I'll get another room downstairs. Just so you know, this floor is all mine. If I leave, you'll be alone here."

Anya hid under the covers.

Leo approached the bed, pretending to be a ghost, and Anya screamed, uncovering to see Leo on top of her. She hadn't quite recovered from the shock, "Chad~"

Looking down at her, Leo paused, "Get up. I'll walk you home. No more scares."

"Really?"

"Really."

Leo got up, placed Anya's shoes by the bed, and waited by the door with the car keys.

Anya quickly got ready, and soon, hand in hand, they left the room.

The hallway was empty as they walked.

"Chad, are you scared? Are you really the only one on this floor? Maybe I should stay with you?"

Leaning against the elevator wall, Leo asked, "Not scared anymore?"

"Still scared."

"Then go home and stay safe. After my hotel stay ends, I'm not staying here anymore."

As they reached the ground floor, Leo walked Anya out, ensuring she felt safe.

After getting home, Anya became worried again. "Chad, video call me. I want to see you get into the elevator and make it back to your bedroom."
