Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 843

Chad had promised to be home for dinner with his wife tonight, but when he arrived, she was nowhere to be seen.

Coleen walked in and said, "Oh, you're home? So, where did Molly go looking for you?"

Officer Chad replied, "I told her I'd be back tonight."

They exchanged knowing glances.

Chad, familiar with his wife's antics, joked, "Off she went, playing Sherlock Holmes again!"

Sure enough, when Chad drove to the crime scene, there was Molly, about to grab a cab home.

When they met, Molly felt a bit awkward, "Uh... Chad, I didn't mean to end up here."

Chad just glanced over at her as she settled into the passenger seat, and they drove off.

Feeling a bit guilty for forgetting their dinner plans, Molly said, "Chad, it's been ages since we had a night out. How about we grab dinner somewhere nice?" Chad asked, "So, any leads from your investigation?"

Molly sighed, "Nope, not a single one."

The folks at home had already had dinner, so Chad decided they should dine out.

They headed to their favorite spot. Chad, familiar with the menu, ordered without even glancing at it.

Molly turned to Chad and said, "Guess who I ran into today."

Chad, not really in the mood for guessing games, just shrugged.

"Annie."

Hearing Annie's name made Officer Chad's heart skip a beat, fearing his wife might start stirring the pot without reason.
