Mia chimed in again, "With Chad being suspended, and I'm sure my husband would have said something if he knew."

Leo replied, "I went to see Chad, but my uncle doesn't want me involved in Chad's affairs. Mars Arrowood is handling Chad's case. I've been looking into a case from sixteen years ago for Chad."

Mia paused for a moment, then continued sipping her juice. "And? What did you find?"

"Nothing yet, Chad just gathered the files today."

Without realizing it, Mia had finished her juice. "So you're going back tomorrow?"

"Yep."

After finishing her juice, Mia couldn't help but ask Leo again, "You deliberately said that at lunch to get a reaction out of Molly, didn't you?"

Leo looked at Mia, whose insightfulness made him wonder if she could read minds.

"You're asking for it. What was that nonsense about Chad marrying someone else? What did you think Molly's reaction would prove? Do you think she wouldn't say something impulsive in the heat of the moment?" Leo: "So you knew I was trying to provoke her to see her reaction to Chad?"

Mia: "If the provocation works, you'll gain an extra uncle. If it doesn't, you'll lose a real aunt. It's not just us who think Molly and Chad are close. Our wise Hansen probably thinks the same.

Why do you think our dear old man hasn't brought up the subject with his daughter? Because he knows her and doesn't want to upset her. Plus, Molly and Chad are still siblings, their relationship isn't defined yet, and Hansen can't say anything. You're the most brave one, going straight in to provoke your aunt. Did you get the result you wanted?"

Leo: "Mia, you're married. What do you think of Jade's situation?"

"I'm married, but I've never been in a situation like this. Love is unpredictable. It's not up to us, it's up to Hansen and the Byrnes.

Once they agree, there's nothing illegal about marriage, and they're not blood siblings. Molly and her mother-in-law will still be as close as mother and daughter."

said that, she paused for a moment, then continued. "But Leo, you're going to be in contact with Chad a lot.
