Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 498

After striking out with Coleen, Vivian turned to Anya and asked, "Who are you?"

Anya replied coolly, "I didn't plan on making friends with you, so there's no need for us to get to know each other."

A bit later, Coleen stepped in and shooed Vivian away.

In the dead of night, Anya, half-asleep by Coleen's bedside, felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. "Anya, your aunt's here."

Anya groggily sat up, seeing Molly's tear-streaked face. "Auntie."

Molly placed her hands on Anya's shoulders, "Thank you so much, Anya. You've been a big help. Leo will be here soon to take you home."

Anya glanced over and noticed Chad standing nearby. The tension between him and Molly was palpable, like a couple giving each other the silent treatment after a fight.

Not knowing how to bridge the gap between them, Anya just nodded and waited for Leo to come pick her up from the hospital.

"Who came by today?" Molly asked softly.

Anya thought for a moment, "A guy named Wang, claiming to be Coleen's nephew, showed up, but I turned him away. Then, a woman came to deliver food, but Coleen sent her packing. Other than that, just Uncle Su. He told me to go home, but I refused. Seeing how stubborn I was, Uncle Su let me sleep on the sofa while he slept in his car downstairs. He came to check on Coleen just a little while ago."

With limited space on the sofa, Kendrick wanted to stay with his wife, but Anya, being the stubborn girl she was, refused to leave Coleen's side after promising Molly.

No matter how much they tried to convince her, Anya wouldn't budge. It was awkward for Kendrick to stay in the room with a strange girl, so he let Anya have the sofa and slept in his car downstairs, coming up occasionally to check on his wife.

Molly nodded, "Thank you, Anya, for looking after my mom."

"Don't mention it, Auntie. I'm always here to help. If Auntie hadn't been on maternity leave, she would've been the one here... Oh, wait, she would've been out there fighting with you. So I guess it's good that I was here." Anya realized, Auntie seemed like a tough lady who wouldn't miss out on a fight.

Anya's spirits lifted at the thought of being needed.

When Leo arrived, Molly and Chad were sitting far apart, while Anya sat there biting her lip in silence. The atmosphere was tense.

"Chad, let's go home," Anya urged. Her aunt and brother were quarreling, and she wanted to mediate, but neither paid her any attention.

Caught in the midst of their tension, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.

Leo nodded and as he was about to leave with Anya, Molly got up and tidied up a bit, "Leo, I'm heading back to the Cedillo family tonight."

Chad looked at Molly, who was still giving him the cold shoulder, "If you leave, who's going to take care of Mom?"

He didn't mean for his sister to take care of their mother, but rather for her to stay the night.

"It's not just my mother, it's yours too. You stay tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow." Molly's tone was heated.

Before leaving, Molly warned Chad, "If I find out that the white lotus with the last name Sun shows up in front of Mom while I'm away, I'll deal with her the same way I dealt with you."

Chad: "..."

Anya, who had rarely seen fights growing up, was suddenly exposed to a "little couple" cold war. She lowered her head and hid next to Leo.

Leo also scratched his nose awkwardly, holding onto Anya's wrist, "Chad, we'll be going first."

In the elevator, Molly asked in frustration, "Leo, did I do something wrong?"

Leo: "Not exactly wrong. Just a bit harsh."

Molly let out a sigh of relief. She went back to the Cedillo family to tattle to her dad.
