Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 811

Mia watched her son gnawing on his hands, lost in thought. "So, how did you bump into her? Does Chad know she's back in town?"

Molly, feeling a bit irritated, scratched her ear. "Well, she's working with Chad now. One's in the left wing, the other's in the right. Let's just say they see each other every day."

Mia was at a loss for words. Her husband didn't have any exes, so she couldn't quite relate to her friend's situation.

"Are you worried that Chad didn't pick you up today and isn't as clingy because his attention's been snagged by this woman?"

Molly went quiet for a moment before nodding. "But I don't think Chad's that kind of guy."

Curious, Mia asked, "Molly, how come you never mentioned Chad dating anyone to Leo or me before?"

The three of them usually gossiped about the tiniest things all afternoon, with Leo doing their homework while the sisters chatted away. Yet, Mia had never heard a peep about her brother's love life. Molly shrugged. "He kept it under wraps back then, didn't tell a soul, so I didn't either."

"But if Chad kept it secret, how are you sure she's his first love? Maybe it's just a misunderstanding or some joke you overheard," Mia explained, sticking up for Chad. "I mean, he's always driving you around and hangs out with you on weekends. When would he even have time to date?"

Molly replied, "Mia, if you ever spot a woman eyeing my Andre, you'll know instantly. Women just have that instinct. I went looking for Chad four times, and she was always there. They go to restaurants together, and friends tease them... Once, when I found him on the field, she was there too. I even joked if she was my 'sister-in-law'. Chad swatted me, but didn't say no."

Then something changed. Chad got moody, kept his distance, and set rules to keep me away."
