Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 820

At dusk, Molly had been waiting at home until eight before Chad finally rushed back.

Colleen was waiting by the door, "Hey, come over here for a sec, I need to ask you something."

"Mom, let me go check on Molly first."

"It's about her. Come on, let's talk."

Colleen pulled her son aside and asked, "Have you been getting a little too friendly with some lady at work? Molly was asking me strange questions last night, and today she took off work to sleep. I'm telling you, something's up." Chad glanced towards the second floor, "Got it, I'm heading up."

Before Colleen could continue, Chad was already making his way upstairs.

As he entered the bedroom, Molly was just stepping out of the bathroom, fresh from a shower. She gave Chad a quick glance, "You're back?"

"Yeah, I'm back."

He shut the door and followed Molly into the walk-in closet.

He picked up the black, sexy nightgown Molly had bought the day before and handed it to her. "Put this on."

Molly gave it a look, then angrily tossed it into the depths of the closet, opting for another set of pajamas instead.
