Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1889

It didn't take long for Andre to spot the mother and son in the dining room, both with their mouths fully occupied with snacks.

For Lizzy's birthday, her grandparents and aunt naturally weren't going to miss it.

Maja arrived.

Looking around a room filled with her former enemies who were now her benefactors, all traces of her past hatred had vanished.

Everyone instinctively kept their interactions with her polite but minimal.

"Maja, Mom told me you took a few days off work just for Lizzy's birthday."

Maja pulled Lizzy into her arms, smiling gently as she kissed her niece's cheek. "I did."

Only Lizzy had enough influence to make her take time off.

Holding her niece, Maja looked at her younger sister. "Annie, it's time for me to take back what I left with you."

Annie looked down at the necklace around her neck, then back up at her sister.

Back when Maja had planned to die, she hadn't wanted the Dark Web to get their hands on the hidden cache, so she sealed the location inside her sister's necklace. She had hoped that if she didn't survive, someone worthy would eventually find the cargo.

But she never intended to pass the burden to her sister. Annie's position as a police officer made her completely unsuitable for handling such things.

So she was going to give it to...

Annie followed Maja's gaze to her daughter. Lizzy, soft and chubby, looked at her mother, then back at her aunt. What was going on? Were they staring because she was just too cute?

Maja's first birthday gift to her niece was the massive arsenal of weapons that the Dark Web had been utterly destroyed trying to obtain.

She looked at Lizzy with profound affection, holding her tightly, promising her, "Elizabeth, your aunt will protect and love you with everything she has."

Chewing on her fingers, Lizzy bumped her forehead against Maja's, offering a wide, toothless grin in response.

Many people didn't understand the depth of Maja's devotion to her niece, but Mia completely understood. "It's exactly like Henry. He will always be Cooper's favorite treasure."

Henry tilted his head back to look at his mother. "Mommy, I'm Cooper's sweetie."
