Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 764

Mother and daughter had their moments of squabbles, one second they were bickering, the next, all was well. It wasn't long before Coleen joined her daughter at the dining table for breakfast, casually adjusting her daughter's pajama top. Molly straightened up and tightened her robe, sensing her mother's actions.

"Have they landed yet?" Molly asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Not yet," Coleen replied while checking her phone. "They should by noon. I just checked the time over there; it will be midnight when their plane touches down."

On the plane, little Henry had finally made peace with flying.

During meals, his tiny hands reached out for everything. He wouldn't drink his formula, but for some reason, he found the bottled water his dad was drinking irresistibly appealing, insisting on taking a sip as if it were some rare treat.

As his mom binge-watched her favorite series, munching on some unknown brand of cookies, Henry couldn't understand the show, but he was fascinated by his mom’s constant chewing.

Andre, holding his son, would stand up and walk around from time to time to soothe him.

Several passengers were charmed by the cute little member of the Andre family, each asking for a chance to hold him. But the moment strangers approached, Henry would start crying even before anyone could pick him up.

Outside the window, the sky wasn't as beautiful as the day before. Henry pressed his face against the window glass, playfully sticking out his tongue to lick it.

Mia immediately scooped him into her arms, "You little rascal."

"Aah~"

At around midnight in a foreign land, the family of three finally landed. As soon as Mia turned on her phone, it rang incessantly. "Hello, Mom and Dad, don't worry, we've landed and are making our way to the exit now."

Mia couldn't make out what Aaron Madison was saying on the other end but smiled at her husband's back, "Dad, you worry about me traveling abroad, but you should trust your son-in-law. If I'm unreliable, you can count on him, right? He's the one carrying the child, so don't worry. Henry is too busy being curious about the foreigners to talk to you right now."

After hanging up with her parents, she quickly dialed another number. "Hello, Naomi, we've just left the airport. My son's a little too occupied to talk right now, being the curious little explorer that he is. Tell Dad not to worry, I might lose my way, but I won't lose his grandson."

Before she could hang up, Mia switched callers. "Naomi, hold on, Molly's calling."

Connecting with her sister, Mia didn't wait for her to speak. "We've just landed, heading to the hotel, the kid's busy."

Molly didn't bother with questions and hung up.

It was only after all the calls that Anya's video call came through. "Auntie, no one's snatched the baby from you, right? Chad said our calls would never get through against the family, so he told me to wait five minutes before making a video call."

Mia pointed the camera at her son's face. "Here, say hi to your Aunt Anya."

Leo was also there.

At the airport entrance, Andre appeared, greeted immediately. "Good to see you, sir."

He let go of his suitcase, and soon, Mia joined him. Andre, being the gentleman, opened the car door for his wife, while the welcoming committee stood by, announcing in unison, "Welcome, ma'am."

Mia observed the reception and quipped, "Why do I suddenly feel like I've aged?"

After the video call, they headed straight to the hotel.

Henry, perched on his father's lap by the window, gazed at the unfamiliar streets.

To his left was the child's curiosity; to his right, his mother's.

Mia, nearly recording the entire journey on her phone, could barely see in the dark. Yet, thinking of her brother living alone in this country for years stirred a familiar feeling in her. Despite the unfamiliar buildings and faces, Mia's heart ached for her brother. At the tender age of fifteen or sixteen, having to study abroad alone, he must have missed their home and family terribly.

The son marveled at a new world, while Mia pondered over the places her brother might have frequented.
