Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"Oh wow, Leo, your father-in-law seems like quite the character, huh?" a group of friends teased with playful mischief.

Leo chuckled and replied, "Alright, eat up. Once we're done, I need you guys to help me out with something."

Over in Willowtown, little Henry was feeling a bit left out. His mom was cuddling a younger baby, and Henry, feeling the sting of jealousy, started to cry, trying to get her attention.

Usually, his mom was all his, always holding him, so Henry was wailing with jealousy.

Mia gently shushed him, "Quiet down, your brother's sleeping."

Andre, cradling his son, tried to explain, "Mia is still your mom, even when she holds other kids; she's still your mom."

Henry's jealousy was just like his dad's - a mix of possessiveness and stubbornness. Neither father nor son seemed to realize it.

Mrs. Calder gave birth to a son at 10:30. Mr. Calder, at 45, felt his life was now complete, having both a son and a daughter.

The Calder family named the newborn James, inspired by the saying, "A book holds treasures untold." With her baby brother's arrival, Anya had another little one to adore. Her phone showed three missed calls, all from her boyfriend.

Leo stepped out of the neighborhood, glancing at his phone. "A one-year-old didn't get enough attention, and now a newborn is stealing the spotlight. Everyone else's kids are such a joy; wonder if you'll feel overwhelmed when it's your turn."

"Leo, if we pull this off for you, you better not just treat us to buns and porridge," a friend called out as they parted ways.

Leo rolled down his car window, shouting back, "Once it's done, dinner's on me at Chunky's Majestic Dining Enclave."

"Just for that promise, we're on it!"

There were all sorts of vehicles

around-motorcycles, SUVs, and folks hitching rides to grab an electric scooter home. Riding shotgun with Leo was a friend who'd hitched a ride, "Tony, you own villas and orchards. Why not just buy a car?"

Tony shrugged, "No driver."

When they reached the bottom of the hill, the quirky guy did indeed rent another bike and rode off.

Back home, Leo planned to freshen up and catch some sleep, but an unwelcome guest at his door killed the vibe. "Jerry, if you keep bothering me, I'll call the cops."

"Come on, Leg, let's talk. I really like

you," Jerry trailed after Leo, trying to follow him inside. "Leo, some things are better said in private." He

glanced at Tony's door, like he had a secret he didn't want Tony to hear.

Leo stood at his door and called Annie, "Hey, Officer Chapman? I need to report a disturbance."noveldrama

Half an hour later, Annie showed up at the rental place.

She flashed her badge, "Who's Jerry?"

"Wow, the officer is stunning and fierce. Ever thought about a career switch? I have," Jerry started, but Annie cut him off.

"I got a complaint that you're disturbing someone. This is your first warning. If you keep it up, you're coming with me."

"Don't be silly, sis. You're a detective; this isn't your beat," Jerry said after checking out Annie's badge. "Officer Chapman, with your looks, you're wasting away at the station. How about joining our girl group?could make you a national star; I've got all the plans ready. It's perfect."

Annie, used to dealing with tough guys like Conner's buddies, was startled by Jerry's flamboyant energy.

She turned to Leo, who just shrugged with a look of helplessness.
