Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"You gotta find yourself a girlfriend, dude." Molly commented.

Chad replied, "Wait till I find a fiancée, then you can help me out." "What if I run out of money?" Molly asked.

Chad responded, "I guess I won't bother with a girlfriend then."

Grandma Aubree was rooting for her grandson to tie the knot; she wanted grandkids. Chad not having a girlfriend was just not cutting it. "Chad, you should think about settling down."

Chad glanced at his sister, and told his grandma, "I'm gonna secure my job first, then think about marriage."

At noon, yesterday's guests came again, their business still unfinished. Just in time for lunch, The Byrne family's food was ready, and they arrived.

They had no choice but to sit together, everyone around the long table.

Vivian wanted to sit next to Chad, but Molly stood up, switched spots, and sat next to her brother. With nowhere to sit, Vivian stood there, feeling pretty awkward.

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat. I'll pass." She played the pity card in the dining room. Secretly, she hoped her stepmother would come to her defense.

Just as expected, her stepmother was furious. Hearing her stepdaughter was wronged, she pointed at Molly angrily, "Why did you steal Vivian's seat?"

Molly retorted, "Are you sure her name was on the seat?"

"Vivian was about to sit there." Juliana said.

"What a coincidence. I was about to sit here too." Molly said while leaning on Chad's arm looking like a couple, and even provocatively added, "I ain't leaving my brother. Wherever he goes, I go." Chad bore no grudge against Molly; he was tolerant of her actions.
