Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance -
Chapter 852
Molly hesitated to call Andre. After all, their two precious little ones got sunburned because of her, and she'd almost caused a fender-bender while driving. To top it off, Mia had gotten into a scuffle today, again because of her. Molly was worried about how Mia and her kid would handle things at the police station, so she called Leo for help instead.
Leo took some time off and came over. When he arrived, he took the little one from Mia, and they headed out.
On the way, Leo asked, "Where are we headed?"
Mia replied, "Let's go see your uncle."
"Not scared anymore?"
"Still scared, but Leo, keep it under wraps for me."
Leo didn't say much at first, but then Mia added, "You're right, you can't even talk to your uncle if you see him. It's not like my husband bothers with you."
Leo sighed, "Think about what you're gonna tell my uncle when he replaces out you took his son to the police station. Might as well set up camp there with him."
Mia playfully slapped Leo on the back, shutting him up.
Leo noticed how clumsy they both were. "Come on, sis, you were supposed to..."
Right then, Leo's phone rang. It was his boss. "Hey, Vincent. Can't make it tonight, got stuff going on with my aunt."
Mia chimed in, "What's up?"
Leo wrapped up the call quickly, then Mia asked again, "What's that about?"
"Just worry about yourself for now," Leo replied, then asked, "You're not digging into that fire case with Sis, are you?"
Mia nodded, "Why, did she ask you too?"
"You're always sticking your nose in. What do you think the police are for? Henry's just like you, diving into every bit of gossip. Couldn't you have passed on something else to your son instead of that?" Mia shot back, "I also passed on my fighting skills so my son can take on yours."
Leo laughed, "Got a thing for swinging your hands?"
"You got a thing for running your mouth?" Mia retorted. "You think a few words will get your fix, but you're preaching like you're someone important. Do you think you're your uncle?"
Leo replied, "When do I ever get my fix? I say one thing, you come back with ten and hit me. How is that fair?"
"You're my nephew and you think you can boss me around? Do you even respect your uncle?"
"If you keep going, I'll tell your husband you've been fighting again, and you'll end up back at the police station." "Go on, I dare you to face my husband!"
"...Alright, alright, I didn't say anything," Leo conceded.
After a moment of silence, Mia asked, "Was your boss's call about me and my son making you late for work?"
Leo sensed her guilt, so he reassured her, "Nah, just wanted me at some event. Didn't feel like going."
"Why would you, as an assistant, need to...?" But before she could finish, Leo interrupted, "We're here. You can go now."
Mia looked at Cedillo Inc. and before getting out, she warned, "Don't you dare snitch to my husband!"
Leo waved her off, "Just focus on keeping it from my uncle."
Once Mia and her son were inside, Leo drove off back to work, having only taken a short break.
Inside, Mia, with her sleepy, chubby baby, was greeted warmly by the staff, who helped her with her bags and led her to the CEO's office. Andre, busy with work, saw the door creak open. In came a familiar silhouette, followed by a tiny figure he knew well.
Once they were in, Mia playfully said, "Honey I'm so tired, take your precious boy."
Andre smiled, got up, and took his chubby son, bouncing him gently, "How did you get here?"
Mia, hiding her real intentions, said, "Oh, we caught a cab~"
Andre didn't think much of it, "Tired? What brought you to see me all of a sudden?"
Mia's eyes darted around as she thought up a story.
Seeing her shifty eyes, Andre got suspicious, "What did you do today?"
"Uh? Uh! What? What's wrong, honey?" Her nervousness only made Andre more suspicious.
"What exactly did you do today?"
"Nothing, just wanted to see you with my son."
Knowing his son, Andre asked, "What did you do this afternoon that has Henry so tired? Why's he napping now?"
Mia replied, "Isn't he allowed to nap now? I can't control him."
Andre pressed, "If you hadn't tempted him with treats or something exciting, would he be napping now?" Mia realized she couldn't argue.
She switched tactics, "We just missed you and wanted to see you. Look at you, grilling me like I'm on trial. Andre, if you don't want us here, we'll just leave!"
Andre knew Mia's tricks but fell for them anyway, "I just asked a couple of questions, why're you upset?"
Mia played the victim, "That's just asking? You always think I'm up to no good." Though, to be fair, she wasn't being completely honest.
Andre softened, "Alright, I won't ask anymore."
But that didn't mean his suspicions were gone.
"Where's Molly?" Andre asked casually.
Mia replied, "She went to the... Med Street... or something."
"Med Street?"
Andre was puzzled, "Is that a real place? Where is it?"
"Of course," Mia made up, "Leo and I named it. Don't believe me, ask him." Andre: "..
Meanwhile, at "Med Street," Molly was quietly waiting for some results.
Chad was holding the test results, looking them over repeatedly.
Every time a medic passed by, he'd stop them to ask about the results.
Molly had just done a urine test. The man who'd initially insisted on a physical exam was silent now, as his results were normal while Molly's showed something odd, even though he had barely pushed her. Why was he fine, and she needed additional tests?
Chad found it strange that his wife's results were off. Could there be an undiscovered issue?
The nurse suggested, "Let's do a urine test."
Chad followed, asking, "What's wrong with my wife?" "Since she's married, we can't rule out pregnancy. When was her last period?"
Chad recalled, "The 7th of last month."
The nurse glanced at the officer, "And this month?"
Chad, embarrassed to admit he'd moved out, said, "I've been busy, didn't keep track." Looking at Molly, he asked, "What about this month?" Molly shook her head, "Chad..."
Seeing this, the nurse asked, "It's been delayed a month and a half, aren't you worried?"
