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."
