Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance -
Chapter 442
Stephania glanced at the card. "You've been quite lucky in love lately, but you need to distinguish between the bad apples and the good ones. If you don't like someone, reject them immediately, otherwise it might affect your chances with the good ones."
"But, I don't have anyone chasing me right now." Molly grumbled.
"Don't worry. It will happen. There's just a hurdle you two need to overcome before you can be together. Don't rush, and let nature take its course," Stephania comforted Molly.
Molly propped her face up, looking glum. "I have three brothers, a nephew, and two dads. The obstacles between me and my true love are huge."
Stephania stayed silent, studying the card. "How's the health of your family, Molly?" she asked suddenly.
Molly looked puzzled. She thought about her family - the Cedillos and the Byrnes. "No one's been ill," she answered.
"According to this, you should pay more attention to the females and pets in your family. It seems like you might be worried about them soon," Stephania pointed out.
Molly frowned, thinking about Coleen, Naomi, Grandma Aubree, and Mia.
"Mia is pregnant, due in November. She's not in danger, is she?" Molly voiced her worry.
Stephania, not knowing about Molly's family situation, advised, "Pregnant women need extra care, so it's good if you keep an eye on her, as well as the other females in your family."
Their meal ended up lasting more than three hours, as they found they had a lot to talk about. They exchanged contact information and parted ways.
After getting home, Molly followed Stephania on Instagram. Stephania was straightforward, following Molly back immediately. Molly was shocked when she woke up to find 4000 new followers. "Is this the power of celebrity?" she wondered.
After some confusion, Molly quickly got ready and headed to breakfast.
"Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, you should all get a medical check-up soon," Molly suggested at the breakfast table. "Mom, you've been working too hard, and it's taking a toll on your health. Grandma, at your age, you should get checked at least twice a year. And Grandpa, you just had surgery, so you need to see how you're recovering."
Coleen looked at her parents, realizing she hadn't thought about it.
Grandma Aubree, being old, didn't like the idea of spending money on unnecessary medical checks. "I am perfectly fine. Why should I waste money on expensive check-ups?"
"But Grandma, if something does go wrong, the medical costs will be much higher," Molly reasoned.
Despite her granddaughter's words, Grandma Aubree was still stubborn. "Once a year is enough. I am sprightly and healthy. I can even skip rope a hundred times."
Coleen added, "You guys should both get checked. It'll give us peace of mind. If there's anything wrong, we can catch it early. If not, then we know you're healthy."
Molly didn't bother reasoning with her grandmother. She adopted a similar method Andre used before. "Grandma, there's a flea market in the city. They sell beautiful, colorful gowns made of cotton and silk. After your check-up, I'll take you there."
Just like Andre, Molly knew how to hit where it hurt. To deal with those afraid of them, they threatened. And to deal with those who weren't, they used irresistible offers. This time, it worked on Grandma Byrne.
"Alright, alright, I'll get the check-up."
After breakfast, Molly went to work with her mom. Sometimes, Coleen would let Molly drive to work, in order to get more practice.
"Mom, I'm going to visit my other family today. It's been days since I've seen Mia," Molly told her.
Coleen agreed.
In the afternoon, after work, Molly bought some snacks for her dad and headed home.
Molly's reason for visiting was strange. She told her family, "A fortune teller told me to keep an eye on the health of the females in the family. Just to be safe. Naomi and Mia should get a medical check-up. It's better to be safe than sorry." Her family laughed at Molly's superstitious beliefs. She even listened to a fortune teller, and that fortune teller was just a young girl!
Hansen defended his daughter, "I'm superstitious too, and Molly takes after me. These fortune tellers have their basis, you know."
"Dad, it's the astrology. There are sun signs, moon signs, and rising signs. For Leo, he's a Virg..."
"What? A man being a Virgin?" Hansen interrupted.
Mia quickly realized her dad had misunderstood. "Dad, Virgo is one of the twelve zodiac signs," she clarified.
Mia was the best at bamboozling old Hansen. With a few words, she had him hooked and started explaining astrology to him. "Mia, look up my zodiac sign," Hansen requested. Whenever he asked questions like this, it meant he had found a new game to play. In the evening, Andre returned home to the lively house. He sat next to Mia, but his wife was too busy to notice him.
"Dad, look up my husband's zodiac sign," Mia asked.
Hansen chuckled. "No need to look it up. He's definitely the worst one."
Mia quickly defended her husband, "Who says? My husband is definitely the best one."
Andre looked relieved.
Molly reminded Andre to take Mia for a health check-up. Andre assured her, "We just had a prenatal check-up last week. Everything is normal, and the baby is healthy."
Molly finally felt relieved.
Hansen had learned about zodiac signs. He didn't even go to have dinner, preferring to stay at his own room. He video-called his old friend, "Harry, when were you born? I'll look up your sun sign."
Harry was confused. "The sun has a sign?"
Hansen proudly boasted, "You didn't know, did you? My daughters introduced me to something interesting today. Let me explain..."
Harry, constantly teased by Hansen, always found himself engrossed in the latest fads that young folks were into, all thanks to Hansen.
Hansen's house was filled with the lively energy of his three kids. Their vibrant antics made him feel like his life was rich and colorful.
At seven in the evening, Mia took her daily walk. Molly sat on the sofa, playing the dutiful daughter to her old man. She helped her father's friend Harry read his horoscope.
In the backyard, Mia told her husband, "Actually, keeping the elderly company is really simple. Just keep sharing the interesting things you find in life with them. Video games, celebrity gossip, or food trucks. When they feel that they're still in touch with the world, they naturally feel better. I even think Dad's getting younger." Andre, holding her hand, gazed ahead, slowing his pace. "It would be even better if you didn't take so much of his money."
