Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 344

"Molly, how could you bring food in here?"

Molly pulled another pack of gummies from her bag, saying, "Studying is such a drag. I need to munch on something to keep the energy up."

Leo reminded her, "Hey, we're in a library."

Molly waved it off. "No biggie, they're pretty chill here. During winter break, I came with my bro and had snacks." She even brought a drink.

Mia felt like her husband was keeping a tight leash on her, not even letting her bring snacks out. If she had known, she would've brought some too.

"Mia, I read online that your legs can cramp up when you're five months pregnant. You need calcium, so I brought you some milk tablets."

Molly put the milk tablets on the table.

"With Chad not around, you're really living the dream," Mia said, enviously.

Molly nodded. "Yeah, when my brother's not home, I'm free as a bird." She started munching on pine nuts. Mia also took a pack, opened it, and started eating.

Leo looked at the pile of books on the table, wondering how these two could say with such confidence that they were going to study till late into the night.

Soon, Molly's phone buzzed. She took a look and immediately hung up. "Is that one of your admirers?" Mia asked curiously.

Molly glanced at the caller ID. "Don't know, but it could be Jack. I made it pretty clear last time that I wasn't interested, but he still calls me. When his number doesn't go through, he uses a new one. What a bore."

Mia took her milk tablets and said, "There are many types of suitors. Some know when to quit, others run headlong into rejection. Jack is the shameless type."

He was in his twenties and had been clearly rejected but still pursued, causing trouble for others. But he only called once, Molly didn't pick up, and he didn't call again.

Soon, Chad called. Molly instantly brushed off the pine nut crumbs from her hands, answered the call, and whispered, "Hey, Chad."

Chad asked, "Are you studying?"

Molly looked at the snacks on the table. "Of course."

Mia was eating pine nuts and quietly laughed at Molly's lie.

Chad, "Take a picture and send it to me."

Molly quickly picked up a book, flipped it open to a random page, and confidently said, "Just a pic, no problem. Even a video call would be fine."

Meanwhile, in another city, Chad was calling his sister outside the police station. Passing officers would greet him, "Officer Chad, talking to your girlfriend?"

Chad nodded. "Yeah, you guys go ahead, I'll be in soon."

Molly blushed when she heard that and asked, "Bro, why are you telling people I'm your girlfriend again? Are people trying to set you up on a date in other cities too?"

Chad answered, "I haven't been set up. Even if I were pursued, they're all law enforcement officers. It's better they know I have a 'girlfriend.'"

Molly said, "Send me your location!"

"Why do you need my location? Just study."

Molly bit her lip and said, "Should I come over to prove you have a girlfriend?"

"You never go to my husband," Mia said.

Molly made an excuse. "Andre is already married. If I, as his sister, kept troubling him with my problems, you'd be annoyed. Plus…" Molly looked Mia up and down. "You alone are enough trouble for him. I won't add to the chaos."

Mia shook her head and took the blame. "Let's not talk about that now. When you have a problem, even though my husband could solve it with a single sentence, you still go to Chad."

Molly argued, "Chad is awesome too, okay?"

Mia and Leo both pointed at Molly. "Look at you, the moment Chad is mentioned, he's unrivaled in your heart, not even by the top-notch Andre."

Molly swatted their hands away. "Alright, enough with the nonsense. Chad and I have always been like this. You guys don't have brothers, so you wouldn't understand."

Seeing Molly's aversion to the topic, Mia and Leo stopped pressing.

"Mia, come help me take a picture. I need to prove to my bro that I'm studying."

Mia grabbed her phone, drew all the clutter from the table towards her, and then snapped a few close-up shots of Molly. "Molly, you're up next to play photographer for me. Gotta show off to my hubby a bit."

Their chitchat paused for a moment, and after the photos were taken, the two ladies returned to their food and drinks.

Chad got a photo from Molly, glanced at it, and put his phone down. His colleague asked, "What's up, Officer Chad? What are you looking at?"

"Just a picture of a woman trying too hard to look good," Chad replied with a slight grin. The woman in the photo was pretty, but her pose looked a bit too staged!

Meanwhile, at his office, Andre also received a photo of his wife, sitting in the backlight, seemingly engrossed in her studies. He chuckled softly, "Mia's up to her tricks again."
