Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 687

Leo watched over his little brother, who was struggling to find peace in his sleep. The moment Leo took him into his arms, the little guy, sensing he was no longer in his mother's embrace, burst into tears, his tearful eyes searching for Mom.

"It's okay, I've got him. He's not feeling well and only wants me right now," Mia reassured as she took her son back. Switching him from one arm to the other to ease the ache, and sometimes, she'd stand him up so his little face could nestle against her neck. Somehow, he knew it was his mom holding him, and that was enough to calm him down.

"You should get some rest," she told Leo. "Uncle has a big meeting at headquarters tomorrow, and you need to be there. I'll get this little munchkin to sleep and head to bed myself."

Leo seemed to have grown overnight. He came down with a blanket, wrapping it around the little guy like a cocoon, reminiscent of his first days in the world.

"I'm not tired anymore. Let me take him so you can get some sleep," he insisted, taking the baby back into his arms.

"Don't be silly. I can sneak in a nap during class tomorrow. You've got work. Can you sneak in a nap there?" Mia teased, taking her almost awake son back. Seeing Leo's concern, she went upstairs to her bedroom, reassuring him.

The little one finally settled into a peaceful sleep in the wee hours, giving Mia a firsthand understanding of the trials of motherhood.

Just as they were about to rest, Andre stirred awake. Mia silenced him with a shake of her head, carefully placing their son down before lying beside him.

Andre checked the time — 3 AM — and gently placed his hand on their son, a gesture of security.

Mia drifted off swiftly, leaving Andre to comfort their child with gentle pats whenever he whimpered in his sleep.
