Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1828

Henry sat off to the side, completely engrossed in an animated show his uncle had recommended. Wayne was equally captivated, his tiny hands holding onto his cousin's as they watched together.

"Henry, Wayne, it's time to eat. You can watch more after dinner," Naomi called, walking over to the boys.

When neither of them budged, Mia approached. "Naomi, leave them be. They've been snacking all afternoon; I doubt they're even hungry right now."

"But little Wayne needs to eat."

Molly, already seated at the dining table, shouted, "Naomi, don't worry about Wayne either. He stays with his grandparents all day, and they never stop feeding him. He's already downed two bottles of juice. Whenever they get hungry, they'll come find us themselves."

Hearing that, Naomi stopped trying to coax them and went to have dinner.

The animated show they were watching was recommended by Cooper. It was a series that taught the 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' using fairy tales and cartoon characters. Cooper had instructed the boys to watch one episode a day during their free time, ensuring they learned something valuable.

Now that his nephew was growing up, forming memories, and developing his own thoughts, he was ready to gradually absorb these lessons.

When he was just a chubby little baby, Cooper had mostly focused on taking him outside, teaching him sports, playing with him, and showering him with unconditional love.

Now, Cooper was dedicated to steadily cultivating his nephew's understanding of logic, knowledge, and skills, while also sharpening his critical thinking.

Even if the boy was still entirely confused by some concepts, Cooper wasn't in a rush. He taught with immense patience, guiding the child through his confusion until the fog cleared and everything suddenly made sense.

Everyone in the family knew that Henry was Cooper's absolute favorite person in the world.

Before Cooper went abroad, it didn't matter if anyone else came to see him off, but Henry simply had to be there.

To accommodate this, Cooper had specifically booked a late-night flight back to school.

Mia chimed in casually, acting as if it were the most normal question in the world. "He definitely isn't living at the office. Anya lives in the city, so he'll absolutely head back there. But with the snow piling up, if the suburban roads haven't been cleared, I'm not sure he'll be able to make the drive back."

Molly added, "Hansen, if you miss Leo, you should just go visit him someday."

Hansen nodded. "Alright. I'll go see him tomorrow."

The brief moment of tension passed naturally. Mia continued eating while serving portions of food to her son and nephew.

After dinner, it was time to relax and chat.

Molly and Mia lounged on the sofa, leaning against each other. Mia listened to Molly vent about her work drama, while Molly listened to Mia recount her day's activities.
