Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"So let's just wish each other the best. And let Andre know for me-my sharp

tongue isn't going anywhere."

Mia: "We're not even talking-tell him yourself."

Molly: "I would, but honestly, I'm too scared."

After a while, Molly piped up, "So... where are you sleeping tonight?"

Mia snapped a quick video of the three kids sprawled out and sent it over.

Seconds later, Molly replied, "Door's open-get over here, girl."

Meanwhile, out in the hall, the two guys were deep in conversation when the

bedroom door suddenly creaked open. To their surprise, Jade-supposedly fast

asleep-appeared, clutching a pillow like a shield.

The first time Jade saw Andre and Chad together like this, she froze for a split

second.

But once she was out there, she had no choice but to act brave, even with both

men watching her every move. Turning back now would just make her look even

more like a chicken.

She squared her shoulders, power-walked to the kids' room, and knocked. "Mia?"

The door swung open, and Andre caught sight of his little wife.

Jade zipped inside, slammed the door, and locked it with a decisive click.

Inside, Jade blurted, "Mia, those two were glaring at me so hard just now-I

thought I'd drop dead on the spot! My legs felt like I was walking on razor blades."

"Shh! Keep your voice down-they're right outside. They can totally hear you."

Outside the door, the two men exchanged a silent look. Great. Both their wives

had barricaded themselves in the kids' room.

Molly was still going, "When I strutted past them with my head held high,

pretending they were invisible, did I look like a total boss or what?"

Mia snickered, "Why don't you go back out and give me a live demo?"

"No way. With those two standing guard, nothing good can come of it. They give

me the creeps."

The guys could still pick up every word through the door.

They shot each other a glance. This time, both knocked at once.

"Mia, come on-come back to our room. This place is packed," called Andre.

Chad chimed in, "Molly, come on. If you're not up early, Wayne's gonna karate-

kick you awake."

Unbothered, the two women were already stretched out side by side, making

themselves comfortable.

"Mia, when you made your grand escape, did you remember to grab your White

Pass?" Molly asked, barely above a whisper.

"Of course I did! Look." Mia whipped

out the precious White Pass,

cradling it like treasure. She even

brought it to the bathroom these

days. hadn't been easy to get-she

could've upgraded three years ago,

but chickened out at the last minute.

Only now had she finally gotten it, so

she wasn't about to let it out of her

sight.

Molly eyed the emblem in the card's corner. "Is that the boss's personal stamp

from The Silent Ring?"

Mia nodded. "No clue what the

pattern means, but it looks fancy

Supposedly, it's the design from the

owner's signet ring. I swear it looks

familiar, but I can't place where I've

seen it."

Molly teased, "Maybe on your Gold Pass?"

Mia shook her head. "Nope, the Gold Pass is nowhere near this detailed."

"Bring it tomorrow. Leo's gotta see this."

"Deal."

Mia added, "Looks like our moms are coming back tomorrow."

"About time. They've been gone forever. If my mom doesn't get back soon, my

dad's going to call her ten times a day," Molly groaned.

Mia sighed, "I can't even go back to my parents' place now-my dad will just yell

at me."

After all, it was her bright idea to send her mom on vacation in the first place.

The two women chatted late into the night, eventually drifting off to sleep.

Half the curtains were left open, and the morning sun poured in, bathing all five of

them in golden light.

Henry woke up sleepy-eyed, saw his mom nearby, and nuzzled closer, snuggling

into her arms to keep snoozing.

Wayne was using his mom's hair as

a pillow, while Molly tucked him in,

gently patting his little bottomea
