Chad turned his gaze to Molly, anticipation twinkling in his eyes as he awaited her response.
"Ah, introductions, huh? Waste of space compared to a nurse? Able to keep house and look after my bro, a daily vision of loveliness and grace."
Colleen eyed her daughter, "If your brother married someone like you, it'd be him keeping house and looking after you."
Chad raised an eyebrow at his sister. Ever since he found out she was playing dumb, he stopped holding back on certain matters.
This left Molly feeling like she was walking on air, uncertain of Chad's feelings towards her since neither had broached the subject directly.
Complicating matters was one of Chad's admirers at the hospital, prompting Jade to insist on discharging their mother early that afternoon.
But Molly couldn't shake the nagging feeling in her heart.
Her scholarship had come through, and she'd bought a smartphone specially for Chad. Before handing it over, she cautioned, "Bro, you gotta steer clear of those girls with bad intentions."
Chad accepted the phone, a teasing smile on his lips, "Does that include you?"
Molly's face flushed with embarrassment, "I-I didn't mean it like that!"
"Like what?"
Just as Molly was about to lash out in frustration, Chad caught her wrist, pulling her close, "You're the only exception."
Her cheeks betrayed her once again, turning a deep shade of crimson.
And lately, whenever she faced Chad, it was as if her tongue was tied in knots!
