Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 949

Holding his mother's face, little Henry felt neglected as she wouldn't look at him, causing him to pout and cry.

Mia quickly scooped up her darling, "What's wrong, sweetie? Let Mommy see."

Anya had just gotten home, too. With the early sunset and chilly weather, Leo had brought her back early. She explained to Mia, "Auntie, Henry was trying to get your attention, but you were too focused on Uncle, and he felt left out."

Andre put down his wife's purse and beckoned his son with a smile, "Come here, buddy, let Dad give you a hug."

In his dad's arms, Andre softly patted Henry's little back and gently wiped his tears before settling on the sofa. "Molly's back, by the way."

Molly raised her hand, "Andre, I'm tattling on you!"

The day's events were recounted. Hansen glanced guiltily at his son, but Mia said, "As long as someone looks after my boy, I'm not fussed about how. I'm too busy with Henry's first birthday party to worry."

"Mia, what's keeping you so busy?" Molly asked, curious.

Mia started listing, "I have to check the catering, oversee the decorations, and then there's the cake. It's just too much."

Molly, ever the one for shortcuts, suggested, "Why not just hire someone to handle it all?"

Andre looked at his wife with amusement, "Molly might have a point."

Mia shot back, "And why don't you pay someone to celebrate your son's first birthday, then?"

Andre went quiet.

Anya chimed in, "Everyone has their own way. Auntie wants Henry to feel the love from his parents, while Aunt Molly prefers to take the easy route."

Molly teased, "You cheeky thing..."

Not long after, Chad and Bruce returned to the living room.

"...Your team has been assigned the lecture task. You're to attend personally and ensure it goes well. Start with Havenbrook University as a trial, with an officer assigned to each school," Bruce said, entering the room and scooping up his little nephew.

With his nephew in his arms, Bruce's mood lifted. "And let's not forget about fraud prevention. As the year ends, we need to be vigilant against crime. Chad, you need to be on top of this."

Chad nodded, "Got it, big brother."

Molly, ever curious, asked, "Big brother, what's this lecture about?"

Bruce, relaxed at home, responded, "Our chat the other day got me thinking. We're planning some safety talks across city universities."

Molly exchanged a look with Mia, then asked, "But why's Chad doing it?"

"Because of his uniform," Bruce replied.

Chad, settling next to his wife, asked with affection, "You've popped back again?"

"How did you know I was back?" Molly wondered, then quickly changed the topic.

Chad teased, "Married couples have a sixth sense."

Molly, having heard it all before, just shrugged. "Mia, do you buy that?"

Mia glanced at her husband and replied dryly, "Not a bit."

As the word spread, universities started getting ready. Mia continued her classes during the day and checked on the hotel arrangements afterward, wanting to ensure everything was perfect. Luckily, Andre's work meant he knew plenty of good venues.

The lecture at Havenbrook University was set for the end of October.

Anya, now the family news source, shared, "Our school's got class reps from freshmen to seniors attending, who will then brief their classmates."

Molly asked, "When's this happening?"

Anya replied, "Wednesday at 4 p.m., in the lecture hall."
