Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1169

Connor's face slowly shifted from surprise to understanding. Annie glanced at her silent fiancé, and her smile grew even brighter. She nudged a plate towards him, "Come on, dig in."

Connor sighed dramatically, "Women can be so heartless, while men are the ones with all the feelings."

After dinner, they headed back to the hotel. Just as they were settling down for a nap, Henry, who had finished his nap, was wide awake, making sleep impossible for anyone else.

Annie yawned repeatedly, her eyes never leaving her little sweetheart. "Connor, I need to take a day off the day after tomorrow. It's my dad's birthday, and since my sister's not around, I ought to be there to celebrate with my folks." She paused, then asked, "Are you free?"

Annie, still sleepy, yawned again while keeping an eye on Henry playing on the coffee table. "Alright, let’s head back together then."

Annie shot back with a grin, "Anyone here ever taken care of kids?"

Connor handed over his precious son, "Handling one wife is a full-time job, but now there's a son who doubles the trouble." His eyes were bloodshot. "Andre, we’re all in this together. If you ever need a hand, just holler."

Andre was left speechless. What had his son been up to today?
