Cooper would often call Mia up, reminding her again and again to take care of herself, to bundle up, to get regular health checks, and to exercise more.

Mia was getting a bit fed up with it all, so she tried to distract him, "Cooper, I have a ton of homework to do, can you help me with it?"

Before she could finish, the call was cut off. Mia put down her phone and went to sleep.

On Friday, Chad showed up at the classroom door. As soon as class ended, Molly rushed over to hug Chad, "You're here."

Chad reached out, pulling Molly into his arms, his face full of affection.

Mia said to Leo, "Sometimes I'm really jealous of Molly. I don't have a brother, but she has two amazing ones."

Leo replied, "Sometimes I'm really jealous of you; even Andre doesn't dare to raise his voice at you."

"You're the least enviable one." Mia said.

When all the classmates left the classroom and the doorway was no longer crowded, Mia and Leo got up from their seats.

Molly returned to the classroom and picked up her books. "Leo, take my books home for me, and bring them back for me on Monday."

"Can't you take them home yourself?" Leo asked.

"It's too much of a hassle, just leave them in your car." Molly insisted.

In the past, when Molly went to school, she would just throw her books haphazardly into the back seat of Chad's car. Once, one of Chad's subordinates sat in his car and asked, "Officer Chad, are you still studying for college?" "Those are my sister's books. She left them in my car again." Chad said.

Chad put all of Molly's books in the trunk, and she just had to find whatever she needed herself.

Later, when Molly returned to the Cedillo family, all her books were put in Leo's car, and Mia's as well. The three of them would often have to rummage through the trunk full of books for the materials they needed for the next class.
