Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 862

Molly pulled her husband aside, "Chad, where are you headed?"

"$50." That was all Chad could hint at.

Molly got the message, "Safety first."

Chad gently touched his wife's belly, "With you two, I'll be cautious."

Chad changed into casual clothes while Molly watched him leave. She couldn't shake the feeling that this case was a big deal; so big, in fact, that Chad, who hadn't traveled for work in ages, was off again.

As Molly saw Chad off and was about to head back inside, a car horn interrupted her thoughts.

She turned, "Who's causing a ruckus in the neighborhood... Oh, it's my nephew!"

Leo rolled down his window, having caught Molly's scolding, "Buzz off." Whenever Jade called him "nephew," Leo felt like she was teasing him.

Leo parked haphazardly, and as he stepped out, Molly rushed over, "Give me a hug."

"Get outta here."

Leo pushed her away playfully, "You're married, and I've got a girlfriend. Even between an aunt and nephew, let's keep it cool."

"Such a straight shooter! How does Anya put up with you?" Molly joked. Seeing her dear friend and nephew lifted her spirits, easing the sadness from Chad's departure.

Leo replied, "You don't get it, I'm providing Anya with a sense of security."

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Since you care so much, I'll let it slide. Come on in."

Leo popped open the trunk and lugged out several boxes of gifts.

"Bringing gifts to your aunt's place?" Molly eyed the presents Leo carried.

Leo shrugged, "Of course, I'm here to make you look good. Showing up empty-handed wouldn't be right."

He followed Molly inside.

Coleen and Kendrick were home. Seeing Leo, they lit up, "Leo's here, have a seat."
