Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"No way, she's not faking it, right? She doesn't even look old enough to have kids! 'Auntie' and her friend both seem so young. How could either of them already have a kid let alone two? I bet she just didn't want to say anything and made it up to mess with us."

Noah glanced back, his voice calm. "She really did. They weren't lying."

One had the boss's own kid, and the other had his nephew.

"Noah, how'd you find out? Did you guys look into it or something? Come on, spill! Back then, we were all trying to win over 'Auntie.' We thought she was basically a goddess.” In their eyes, anyone who could rack up results like that—regardless of what she actually looked like—had to be out of this world.

Noah looked over at the CEO and added quietly, “Better take care of yourself." Because honestly, that goddess was now the boss's girl-the woman he held close, the mother of his kid.

Andre frowned, irritated. "Enough. Quiet down."

Instant silence.

No one dared say another word.

Downstairs, more and more people were arriving. Almost all the potential contestants had shown up at the stage.

There were even a few foreigners in the crowd, here for the competition. When the time came, Andre turned and led the way down the stairs.

Everyone at their posts—upstairs as bodyguards, at the door as security, outside on patrol, keeping watch from all corners went back to their positions, eyes on the action below.

After all, everyone there was a rival. If a fight broke out or things got out of hand, they'd have to leap down and take control right away.

That's why all the guards upstairs, the sentries at the door, the ones outside making rounds—they all carried the Black Pass from The Silent Ring.

Only with a Black Pass could you get down to the deepest level.

A few were still sighing about 'Auntie' getting married so young. None of them ever stood a chance-except Andre, who'd already gone downstairs.

Noah glanced at the CEO, who

looked like he needed a minute to himself, and said gently, "Boss, look on the bright side. Having a lively wife is way better than being stuck with someone who just sits there, right?"

Andre was watching a live video feed. "She's a little too lively."

"Sounds like Henry, doesn't it?"

Andre grumbled, "That's because Henry is just like his mom!"

He finally understood-back when Mia was a kid, she got off easy just because she was a girl.

But now there was an upgraded version-Henry, a little wildcat with both their genes. "He's off causing trouble at Bluewater Apartments again."

Over at Bluewater, Leo was surrounded by a little pack of boys.

He called Anya after work. "Hey, babe, what do you want for dinner? I can pick something up on my way back."

On the other end, all he could hear was a mess of kids yelling, with Anya whispering, "Shh, you guys, hush!"noveldrama

Leo thought for a second-he knew how things worked at home. "All three of them are at our place, right?"

"Ah-Chad, don't come home yet. Go hang out somewhere else for a bit.”

Leo had to laugh-his own girlfriend wouldn't even let him come home. "I'm coming back to check on those three tittle monsters! You're having so much fun with them, you own boyfriend can't even get in the door."

He hung up, sung by the store for Anya's favorite snacks, and picked up some treats for the three kids. When he got home and opened the

door, he was greeted by a chorus of little voices yelling his name, the kids darting around the room and sliding across the floor. Anya rushed over to catch one before he slipped.

She scooped up Ash, and at all the noise, the three kids spun around to stare at

the man who'd just come in.

Henry was supposed to drink his water, but instead he stuck his hand in the mug and started splashing.
