Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1058

Leo gave the pot a quick stir with a spoon and said, "You two just hang tight for some good news this year. Mom, here's your favorite little doughnut, and Dad, I've thrown in some spinach for you." With that, Leo tossed the food into the pot.

The tiny droplets of condensation on the window painted a picture of a cozy, happy family of three.

Henry's been on cloud nine lately. After his bath, he plopped down on his dad's pillow, completely absorbed in watching "Boonie Bears" on his mom's phone. Whenever something funny popped up, he'd burst into laughter.

Andre noticed his little guy was getting a bit too hooked on screen time, so he decided to lead by example and picked up a book to read.

Curious as ever, Henry crawled over, and before they knew it, there was a loud "rip." Father and son locked eyes.

Mia sat up, startled, staring at the torn page in her son's tiny hands. "Sweetheart, we've got two choices. One, we can remind ourselves he's our precious son, and hold back, because only a loving dad raises a respectful kid. Or two, he won't remember this anyway, so if not now, when? Don't stress yourself out, just do it."

Without missing a beat, Andre gave Henry a gentle swat on the behind. "Option two it is."

Henry stood there, tears streaming, convinced his dad didn't love him anymore.

Later, Andre realized both his son and his wife were getting a bit too attached to their phones, so they started a new family rule: phone-free time.

Mia, with no other option, picked up a book she thought she'd never see again.
