Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 761

When they finally left, it felt like ages had passed.

Leo held Anya's hand as they walked away, glancing at the identical dolls. "Why do I feel like they're twins?" he mused.

Anya just smiled, saying nothing.

Leo parked the car by the side of the road and took Anya for a stroll. "Stop sulking with those dolls. There's a toy shop ahead. Let's get some partners for these 'twins.'"

Anya's eyes lit up. "Chad, you're really going to get them partners?"

In the past, a typical boyfriend would never join her in such a childish endeavor. But today, something was different—Chad seemed to have had a revelation.

At the toy shop, Anya wandered around, her love for fluffy toys evident since childhood. It didn't take long for her to pick out two favorites.

When she turned to find Leo, he was holding a big, smoke-grey teddy bear.

At the checkout, Leo added the big grey bear to their purchases. Anya asked, "Chad, why are you buying that?"

Leo grinned. "It's for my partner."

After paying with his phone, Leo stuffed the big grey bear into Anya's arms. "Here you go, partner. Hold it tight."

Being called "partner" made Anya's face bloom with a sweet smile.

"Chad, how did you know I like big bears?"

Leo tried to play it cool. "That's a secret."

"Chad~ Come on, tell me."

Leo chuckled. "If you listen to me, I'll tell you."

Anya eagerly nodded.

Leo began, "When I picked you up from your dorm, I noticed the big white bear in your closet. It's just like you."

"Like me how?" Anya prompted.

"Cute and soft."

Anya beamed and hugged Leo's arm. "Chad, you actually remember that?"

Leo recalled some advice from his friend Molly. "Men, don't just play tough. If you love someone, say it. Keeping it to yourself won't give the girl a sense of security. And forget those toxic sayings in your bros' group about showing too much love making her leave. Anya won't leave you."

Under the twilight sky, amidst the bustling streets, Leo continued, "I remember more than just that. Your water bottle has a bear cover; your pen has a bear cap; your winter pajamas have bear ears on the hood; even your phone case has a big white bear on it. Whenever you visit a jewelry store, you always touch the bear charms, even if you don't buy them; your keychain is a bear too.

I remember when you accidentally peeled off a hangnail in winter and it bled. You were in pain, so you wrapped it with a band-aid and drew a bear on it... With so many signs, how could I not know you love bears? I could tell with my eyes closed."

Anya, moved to tears for the first time, hugged Leo tightly. "Chad, how do you know all this?"
