After Chad finished making the drink, he handed it to Molly, who pouted, "Chad, a bubble tea without tapioca pearls is just not bubble tea."
Late that night, feeling stuck, Chad called the Calder family's little princess. "Anya, your uncle needs some advice."
Molly had picked up from a TV drama that daughters are their dad's soulmates from a past life. This was a recipe for disaster.
She burst into tears, "If I have a daughter, does that mean Chad was a heartbreaker in his past life? Can I even trust him now?"
Chad, trying to calm her, said, "...this one's a boy."
But Molly cried even harder, "So if Chad had no past-life lover, does that mean I can't have a daughter now?"
Chad reassured her, "...having a son is wonderful too."
"But I can't have both a son and a daughter."
Feeling wronged, Molly cried so much that her family didn't know what to do.
Coleen Byrne, Chad's mother-in-law, couldn't help but ask, "Chad, what do you even like about my daughter?"
Chad chuckled, "Probably how she keeps me on my toes."
Coleen pointed at the drama unfolding, "Well, there you go. You wanted to spoil your little drama queen, didn't you?"
When Mia came over with her baby to visit Molly, she found Molly on the couch, still arguing her point, looking even more upset. "Mia, what should I do?"
Jade, another friend, got drawn into Molly's logic. "You know, when you put it that way, it kind of makes sense."
Chad just sighed: "..."
