Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 787

Anya, feeling a bit helpless, admitted, "I didn't even realize there was something wrong with my laptop. I couldn't find many of the icons and didn't want to bother you, so I tried downloading some software myself, following online tutorials to fix it."

But the more she downloaded, the slower her computer became. It wasn't even two years old, and she didn't use it for gaming or binge-watching series. Yet, here it was, barely functioning, with even the cursor lagging.

Mr. Calder instructed a servant, "Please make a pot of tea; it looks like we might be here a while."

The servant hurried off to fulfill the request.

Once Leo had everything adjusted, Anya tested it out and, to her delight, exclaimed, "Chad, it's perfect now!" She found herself looking up to the young man with admiration.

Mr. and Mrs. Calder found themselves inexplicably warming up to Leo.

Before leaving, Leo made sure to double-check Anya's computer from top to bottom, only leaving once he was satisfied it was fixed.

Anya followed him out, insisting on walking him to his car.

When they reached it, she opened the passenger side door and got in, out of habit.

Leo was taken aback, but he chuckled, "Chad, I can walk you to the door."

As they approached the main entrance, Leo looked at Anya, who was still inside the car, and she pointed ahead, "Just up to the crossroads there."

"If you keep escorting me, you'll end up taking me all the way to the Cedillo family," Leo joked.

Anya looked down, feeling a bit upset. Slowly, she reached for the door handle, opened the door, and got out.

Leo watched her every move, finding it hard to leave.

Standing at her front door, Anya waved at Leo.

He rested his hand on the gearstick, looking through the window at the girl he could just drive away from. Yet, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

Anya looked up, puzzled about why he had come back.

Leo walked up to her and extended his arms; Anya understood immediately and moved into his embrace.

The straightforward affection of youth, the thick sweetness between lovers, made parting even harder.

"Chad, I don't want you to go," Anya said, nestling her face against Leo's chest.

Leo wrapped one arm around Anya's waist and the other around the back of her head, giving her a secure hug, "How about I come to see you next month?"

Anya nodded within his embrace, "Okay."

It wasn't just Anya who was reluctant to leave; Leo felt the same. He cupped her face in his hands, bent down, and kissed her right at the Calder family's front door.

This kiss was laden with longing.

Anya felt Leo's tongue against her lips, blushing as if it was their first kiss, instinctively moving closer into his embrace.

Leo's hand slowly moved down, securing the back of her head. As long as he didn't let go, Anya couldn't step back.

Gradually, he held her tighter until she slightly resisted his advance with her tongue, prompting Leo to slowly ease his grip.

They were barely apart by five centimeters when Anya spoke, "Leo, um..."

Before she could finish, Leo pulled her into another intense kiss.

When they finally parted, Leo's thumb gently caressed Anya's reddened lips, "Can't kiss anymore, it'd look bad if you bruised."

Anya reached up, holding Leo's thumb against her lips, "Chad, when I'm not around, remember you have a girlfriend. You should avoid getting too close to female colleagues. If someone asks for your contact info out of the blue, make sure you refuse."

Leo's choice of profile picture had always been a subject of teasing. "You really should change your profile picture. A sports car, and you already have four. Not planning on getting a fifth, are you?" Mia had once chided.

Leo, however, loved the picture she disliked. "Your taste," Mia had scoffed.

But this time, Leo's profile picture was no longer a subject of mockery.

Soon, Mia sent Molly a voice message, "Can't talk now, my son is fiddling with my phone."

Through the phone, Molly could hear Henry's dissatisfied whining. She sent a voice message back, "Where's our 'nanny' dad then?"

Mia replied, "Andre took him out for a drive this afternoon; we're on our way back. It was too hot, so we didn't invite dad along."

Henry opened his mouth, ready to gnaw on Mia's phone, his baby voice strong and determined.

Mia pushed his little head gently, "Go nibble on your dad's ear."

In the front seat, Andre passed a smartphone back to them.

Henry stretched his body to take it with both hands, and Andre chuckled, "Caught it quite steadily."

He was driving slowly, cruising down the road. Occasionally on weekends, taking a drive with his wife and kid seemed like a splendid idea.

Both mother and son had their own smartphones, each engrossed in their own worlds.

Soon enough, Henry somehow managed to dial the emergency services...

Consequently, the little one in diapers ended up getting a light spanking from mommy.

It seemed like Mia never ran out of people to discipline!
