Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"Molly, how could you bring food in here?"

Molly pulled another pack of gummies from her bag, saying, "Studying is such a drag. I need to munch on something to keep the energy up." Leo reminded her, "Hey, we're in a library."

Molly waved it off. "No biggie, they're pretty chill here. During winter break, I came with my bro and had snacks." She even brought a drink.

Mia felt like her husband was keeping a tight leash on her, not even letting her bring snacks out. If she had known, she would've brought some too. "Mia, I read online that your legs can cramp up when you're five months pregnant. You need calcium, so I brought you some milk tablets."

Molly put the milk tablets on the table.

"With Chad not around, you're really living the dream," Mia said, enviously.

Molly nodded. "Yeah, when my brother's not home, I'm free as a bird." She started munching on pine nuts. Mia also took a pack, opened it, and started eating.

Leo looked at the pile of books on the table, wondering how these two could say with such confidence that they were going to study till late into the night.

Soon, Molly's phone buzzed. She took a look and immediately hung up. "Is that one of your admirers?" Mia asked curiously.

Molly glanced at the caller ID. "Don't know, but it could be Jack. I made it pretty clear last time that I wasn't interested, but he still calls me. When his number doesn't go through, he uses a new one. What a bore."

Mia took her milk tablets and said, "There are many types of suitors. Some know when to quit, others run headlong into rejection. Jack is the shameless type."

He was in his twenties and had been clearly rejected but still pursued, causing trouble for others. But he only called once, Molly didn't pick up, and he didn't call again.

Soon, Chad called. Molly instantly brushed off the pine nut crumbs from her hands, answered the call, and whispered, "Hey, Chad."
