Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 466

Anya sat sandwiched between the two women.

Molly scrutinized Anya’s face. “Goodness, your skin is as smooth as a baby’s!”

She had initially misconstrued Anya’s relationship with Andre and nearly went off on her, but Anya was obviously so naive.

Anya pursed her lips, turning to look at Mia. She had heard that Mia was a hard-nosed woman, quick-tempered and a brawler. She also had heard she was well-behaved, lively, and adorable. Then Andre told her that she was a playful, spoiled little girl. However, she felt that this woman, her aunt, seemed quite gentle.

“Auntie, may I touch your belly?” Anya asked.

“Of course,” Mia replied generously. She opened her arms, letting Anya’s hand rest on her belly and gently caress it. “The baby was quite active just a while ago, but it seems like he’s taking a nap now.”

Anya laid her hand on Mia’s belly, careful not to press too hard, tenderly feeling the life within.

“Where’s Leo?” Andre was the first to notice the birthday boy was missing.

The forgotten Leo, standing at the foot of the stairs, finally caught the family’s attention.

Naomi called her son over.

Leo trudged over reluctantly. Taking a seat next to Molly, he sat in the spot Chad had vacated.

Naomi asked her son with a smile, “Do you remember Anya?”

He had noticed her the moment she stepped through the door. She was the girl who lost the fight and got whisked away in the middle of the night. She was pleasant to the eye but of no use.

“Nope, can’t recall.” Leo said.

Anya glanced at Leo from across Molly. She didn’t remember him either.

Naomi laughed, “Leo, you once saved Anya when you guys were kids. Don’t you remember?”

Mia and Molly’s eyebrows shot up in unison. Their eyes were twinkling with interest. Gossip concerning their friends was always a sure-fire way to pique their curiosity!

Mia, being the most curious, asked excitedly, “Naomi, tell us about this life-saving incident.”

Leo was puzzled. When had he ever played the hero and saved someone?

Anya also looked bewildered. When had she ever been in danger?

Naomi saw that everyone had forgotten, but she remembered it clearly. “When you were seven, I took you to a dinner party at Anya’s home. You rescued a little girl from drowning in the pool. That little girl was Anya.”

Mia and Molly turned their heads to look at Leo simultaneously. “Well, look at you, Leo. Saving lives at seven.”

Leo furrowed his brow, trying to recall.

Naomi jogged his memory again, “The chubby little girl, don’t you remember?”

“Oh! It’s her!” Leo suddenly remembered.

He jumped up from the couch, pointing at Anya, who was sitting innocently in the middle. “You’re that chubby little girl who was playing by the pool. Then you fell in, and started screaming that you were drowning even though the water only reached your waist!”

He had thought someone was actually drowning and jumped in to save her. However, she was so chubby that he couldn’t lift her and ended up falling in himself. When he got home, his parents teased him about it for days.

Anya blinked, “You’re Little Leo!”

He was the boy who had scorned her for being fat, saying he couldn’t lift her. However, his disdain had become her motivation to lose weight.

Mr. Calder doted on his daughter, Anya. When she was young, he would feed her all sorts of delicious food, which resulted in her becoming quite chubby at a young age. During the pool incident, the boy who had attempted to rescue her was handsome and well-dressed, just like the prince in her fairy tales.
