Chapter 995

Mia: "I'm heading back to see my son. Molly, trust me on this one-no man compares to your own kid. Love is the most fickle thing, but family? That's rock solid." "Is love really shakier than our friendship?"

Mia: "Don't even go there our friendship is sacred."

Molly gave a cheeky "ok" sign, still a hopeful believer in love. She hailed a taxi, directing the driver to Chad's office, bubbling with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Mia flagged down her own cab, making a beeline for the Cedillo home, eager to reunite with her little cub.

As Molly reached the police station, she breezed past the front desk, cheerful as ever. "Hey, Old Andre, good afternoon!"

The guard perked up at her arrival. "Molly, about time you showed up. Here to fetch Officer Chad, are you?"

"Wow, you nailed it!" Molly's eyes sparkled with surprise.

The guard motioned Molly over to the booth. "No offense, but marriage is all about squabbles and making up. Even if you and Officer Chad argue, you can't just lock him out."

Molly paused, something stirring in her mind. Her excitement dulled, replaced with a shadow of doubt. "Old Andre, what are you saying?"

"Listen, everyone knows Chad's crazy about you, but you can't just get upset and make him crash at work."

Molly clenched her teeth, "So Chad's been holed up at the station for five days?"

The guard nodded, "We even placed bets, thinking you kicked him out again. Molly, I'm just trying to help you understand. You might be used to getting your way, but marriage means taming that temper a bit." Feeling her blood pressure spike, Molly turned on her heel, but not before tossing back, "Uncle, you bet wrong this time."

With that, she hopped into a taxi. "To the Cedillo residence."

"Which Cedillo residence?" the driver asked.

"Seriously? How many Cedillo residences are there in Havenbrook?!" Molly snapped.

The driver floored it.

Mia had barely settled in at home when Molly burst through the door, fuming. "Men are the worst!" she shouted as she walked in.
