Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1986

With nothing to do all afternoon, the two men lounged in the car, enjoying the gentle spring breeze. The conversation flowed easily, cool and refreshing.

The leaves on the trees lining the road were a vibrant, tender green—the undeniable color of spring, bursting with vitality. It wasn't as intense as summer, as ripe as autumn, or as bleak as winter. It possessed a gentle, non-aggressive comfort that was uniquely spring.

"Set me up with someone," Chunky said out of nowhere.

Leo chuckled. "I think Alyna would be a great match for you."

"Oh, hell no. That woman has a terrifyingly strong personality and tries to control everything. If we got together, she'd probably dictate the color of my underwear. She nitpicks everything and everyone. She wants to be a powerhouse career woman, which is fine, but she demands everyone else be exactly like her. She refuses to accept that different kinds of people exist. Dating someone like that is just asking for torture."

Leo burst into laughter. "I completely agree, but she really does have a good heart."

"A good heart? You need more than just a 'good heart' to survive a marriage." Chunky cast a sideways glance at Leo. "Besides, Alyna has a massive crush on you."

"Whoa, whoa!" Leo's eyes snapped open. "Don't ever say that again. I've got a girlfriend, and she's a single woman. You throwing words around like that is going to cause trouble for both of us."

"I'm serious, Leo. If I had your family background, I wouldn't be out here grinding and starting a business. I'd be living it up as a playboy. I'd have so much backing that I'd just waltz up to the Horizon boss and slap him across the face for pulling all this dirty tricks."

"My family doesn't play that way," Leo replied dryly. "If I messed around, my grandpa, my dad, and Andre would take turns beating me until I was in a wheelchair—and that's before the women in my family even got a turn.

Gambling, womanizing, partying—if I touched any of it, Andre would lock me in a dark room. That's why, back when I had money, I'd buy some luxury cars, but I never dared to buy the top-tier ones. Andre was always terrified I'd end up twisted."

"No wonder none of us had a clue about your family background at first."

The two sat in the car talking until 7:30 PM. The sky had already turned pitch black.

With the surrounding roads quiet and empty, Leo finally started the engine and drove back to the auto repair shop from earlier.
