Chapter 179
The cop swept the bathroom, then peeked behind the curtain, confirming that she was indeed the only
one in the room.
"Where's the guy? If you don't tell the truth, I'll take you to the police for questioning."
Jade shook her head, "I'm telling you, it's just me here."
Just then, a cop discovered a torn condom wrapper in the trash. Jade turned red with embarrassment.
"What's this about?"
The policeman asked Jade seriously, pointing to the condoms in the trash can. Jade panicked,
stuttering, "I... I... I opened it out of curiosity..."
Her stammering sounded suspicious to the cop.
But there truly was no one else in the room. The guy must've bolted.
"Close the door," the lead cop ordered his partner.
They were about to start questioning Jade.
Seeing herself faced with a roomful of male cops, Jade broke down crying.
"This jacket is really my brother's."
She knew they wouldn't buy it. She tried to call Chad on her phone, but the cops confiscated it.
She got mad, "You have no right to take my phone! I need to call my brother to vouch for me!"
Meanwhile, Chad was in the middle of a shower when his phone rang, "What's up?"
"I'm in trouble again." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Hearing this, Chad bolted out of the bathroom, threw on some PJs without even drying off, and headed
out.
Shortly after, there was a knock at Jade's door.
Chad, with his hair still dripping, walked in.
"Hello, I'm Chad, the Captain of Havenbrook Police."
"Chad? Is that you?" one of the cops recognized him.
Chad turned around, "Johnson!"
He spotted an old buddy from the academy.
Knowing someone on the inside would definitely help.
Chad's identity was confirmed.
But Jade was still crying her eyes out.
Chad pointed at the condom wrapper, "What in the world is this?" he shouted louder than the cops.
Jade stuttered, "I... I was just bored. I found it in the drawer. I had never seen one before, so I opened it
to check it out. I was just curious."
Chad raised his hand, tempted to smack her.
A girl, in a room full of men, admitting she didn't know how to use a condom!
Jade shrunk back.
"I didn't expect the cops to show up! And you! Why the hell did you leave your jacket? That's why
they're accusing me!"
Chad was fuming. His buddy stepped in, "She's young, she didn't know any better. At least nothing
serious happened."
Thanks to Jade's curiosity, Chad was embarrassed in front of his pals.
She knew she messed up.
"Chad, how long are you staying? Can you lend a hand at the station? We're stumped on a case,"
Johnson asked Chad.
Chad nodded, "Carry on with your search. I'll change and head to the station."
Jade quickly got dressed and waited quietly by the door.
"Why are you all dolled up?" Chad was still mad at her.
Jade clung onto Chad's arm, "I want to go to the station with you."
"You'd just make a spectacle of yourself."
Jade hung her head, not daring to argue.
In the end, Chad, not wanting to leave her alone at the hotel, took her to the station.
"Sit here and don't move. If you need to go to the bathroom or get a drink, report to me first."
No sooner had Chad finished than Jade chimed in, "Reporting!"
Chad gritted his teeth, "What?"
"I need to go to the bathroom~"
Chad escorted her to the restroom, waiting outside the door.
The other cops were stifling their laughter.
"Looks like Officer Chad's gonna lose it."
"Having a sister like that, is it a blessing or a curse?"
"If she was his girlfriend, wonder how mad he'd be?"
Some cops who hadn't been part of the raid were curious, "What happened?"
The others remained silent, smirking.
Jade was escorted back to her seat by Chad. She sat down obediently, promising Chad, "I swear, I
won't leave, just play on my phone."
Chad wagged his finger at her, but in the end, couldn't bring himself to scold her.
Chad left for a meeting.
Then Mia came over to chat with her.
......
Back at Mia's house in Havenbrook, when she heard about Jade's ordeal, she was shocked, "Jade,
you've really done it this time. Of all things to be curious about, why this?"
Jade explained, "I found it while looking for the TV remote. I was just curious and wanted to check it
out. I didn't know the cops would show up."
Mia joked, "Give me some random numbers. I'll buy a lottery ticket for you tomorrow. With your luck,
you're sure to hit the jackpot."
They chatted until Andre came out of the shower.
Mia was so engrossed in her chat with Jade that she didn't notice Andre getting back into bed.
Later, Jade asked, "Your husband's back, shouldn't you be all over him? How do you still have time to
chat with me?"
Mia suddenly heard a voice behind her, "She was all over me, but ditched me when it mattered."
Mia was so startled she almost dropped her phone. She turned to see Andre peeping at her chat,
"When did you get in bed?"
"Is that Jade?" Andre asked.
Mia nodded.
Andre's gaze drifted from Mia's lips down her body.
Mia sensed danger. She immediately put down her phone, dove under the covers, and covered her
head, "Honey, let's sleep."
Andre chuckled. He lay down, letting Mia nestle in his arm.
"Mia, how much longer do you need?"
Mia's breathing was steady. She had already fallen asleep.
With Andre by her side, her sleep quality improved significantly.
Andre looked at his adorable wife snoozing on his arm and smiled softly.
The next day.
Andre came out of the bedroom and saw Leo downstairs, "Come up."
Leo shrugged, climbing the stairs.
They entered Andre's study.
Before Andre could say anything, Leo already started apologizing.
"I'm the one who crashed into the shed. Mia wasn't in the car at the time."
Andre just snorted, "Something you planned back in sophomore year of high school, and you only get
around to doing it in sophomore year of college. You really are a piece of work."
