Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 819

Chad quickly rang up his wife. Molly was in the middle of dinner, hung up, and silenced her phone. "You're not calling to clear up some case, are you?" "Clear up? What case?" Conner was puzzled.

Molly, looking a bit surprised, brought up an old story, "Remember when my little sweetheart had you crying at the police station, and the police thought you were a kidnapper? Wasn't that incident recorded?"

Conner glanced at Molly, his newfound "acquaintance," and reminded her, "Keep it down, will you?" He still wanted to maintain some dignity. Then he asked, "Wait, how do you know about that?"

Molly, munching on her chicken, replied, "Everyone in my family knows about it."

Conner eyed Molly, who was happily crunching on her chicken, "Who spilled the beans?"

Molly shrugged, "Well, I told a few people."

Conner thought he misheard her at first, but nope, she really did say that. "Molly, how can you just say that like it's no big deal? I'm buying you dinner here."

Once Molly finished eating, she wiped her mouth and said, "And you guys, four grown men taking a kid to the police station, aren't you embarrassed?"

"Well, what you said..."

Molly decided to lay it out, "Listen, pal, since you're treating me to dinner, let me give you a friendly tip. The Cedillo family motto: 'Don't mess with Mia, don't argue with me, and don't eat in front of Henry.' Keep that in mind!" Conner had heard bits and pieces about the infamous Cedillo family kids.

"What were you doing at the station, and why did you leave with me?" Conner asked.

Molly responded, "I went to the station; everyone knows why."

Conner was intrigued, "Can you not make it like your Andre, turning a simple answer into a puzzle?" He figured it had something to do with Chad.

Molly shot back, "Then can you not be like my Andre, asking about the obvious?"

Conner gave up, "Alright, let's skip the verbal sparring. I'm dizzy from your roundabout talk, and I'm clearly getting nowhere."

After a bit more chatting, they got more comfortable with each other. Molly asked outright, "So, what's your real reason for being here?"
