Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 528

Jack watched Anya devour her food in the car, her cheeks puffed out with a half-eaten burger. She shot him a nervous glance and apologized, “Chad, I’m so sorry, it wasn’t on purpose.”

Jack chuckled, “Take it easy, don’t choke.”

Mia just sighed, lost in her thoughts. It hit her why everyone was so surprised when her husband indulged her, and why she had unknowingly stepped on some of Andre’s soft spots. Turns out, everyone has that one special person in their life who lets them get away with just about anything.

Mia patted Anya’s shoulder. “Kid, Aunt Mia’s got your wedding gift all ready.”

Anya looked puzzled, “...”

Jack gently swatted Mia’s hand away. “Go back to your mommy blog empire. We’re heading out.”

Jack slipped on the Ray-Bans Mia had given him and drove off.

On the road, Anya unwrapped another burger for Jack, ready to feed him. But Jack took it with one hand while steering with the other, taking a big bite.

“Chad, have you ever eaten in your car before?”

“Yeah.”

Anya relaxed a bit. After a moment, Jack added, “You’re the second person.”

Anya’s eyes widened, “...”

Half an hour before the exam, Molly sat on a bench outside, munching on a burger, waiting for Jack to drop off Anya at the test center.

Soon, Jack arrived. He sat next to Molly, handing her a wad of paper.

“What’s this?” Molly unfolded it to find a bunch of notes.

Jack explained, “You haven’t studied much in the last six months, and I’m really worried you won’t pass. It’s better to have something than nothing. If the proctor isn’t watching, start with the essay questions. I’ll sneak you the answers for the rest.”

Molly smirked, “I knew it, no decent man exists in this world except for my nephews!”

Jack twitched an eyebrow, “Even your Chad isn’t decent?”

“Don’t even mention him.” Molly grumbled, taking another bite of her burger.

At the Byrne residence.

After dropping Molly off, Chad went back to talk with his parents.

Vivian had been taken in for questioning by the police, Grandma Aubree and Grandpa Elmer were out at their fitness class, and Kendrick was at work, leaving just mother and son in the living room.

Chad told his mother, “Molly cares most about your opinion. If you’re on board, she won’t feel pressured.”

Coleen looked at her son, “Exactly because she cares so much about what I think, my approval would just stress her out more. Chad, if you want to marry Molly, let her come to me and say she wants to marry you. Otherwise, it’s just coercion.”

Chad fell silent, then admitted, “You’re right, I’ve been pressuring her these past days. Mom, leaving me out of it, would you be at ease if Molly married someone else? If she ended up with a nitpicking mother-in-law and a chaotic home life, could you bear it? You know the dramas our Byrne family has had, did your in-laws ever make life easy for you when you married Dad?”

Coleen’s eyes flickered, but she remained firm, “Those aren’t good enough reasons. Despite the challenges with your father’s relatives, he has been good to me, and your grandparents have always treated me like a daughter. Because of your father and this family, I consider myself very fortunate.”

Chad knew debating this with his mother would be exhausting. Coleen wasn’t some naive, sweet girl; she was a renowned businesswoman. And since she knew his weaknesses, Chad couldn’t persuade her this time.
