Chapter 315

"Oh, right, give me half an hour." Molly said.

In the early morning, Chad told his parents in the yard, "I washed the car yesterday to pick up Molly

from school. But we're going back to the countryside today, so all the dust will just make it dirty again.

Seems like washing it was a wasted effort."

Coleen suggested, "Let Molly wash it when you get back."

"Nah, you know Molly. My car's white. If I let her wash it, it might end up with some other color." Chad

said.

Coleen remembered a story from Molly's childhood. Once, Mr. Kendrick had driven home in the

company car which was all dirty from his field visits. Molly decided to help him wash it and halfway

through, she started doodling on it with watercolor pens. She even ended up sprawled on the hood,

drawing away.

The company folks who came to pick up the car were greeted by a rainbow of colors and squiggly

"Dad, Mom, Family" scribbled all over it. They couldn't help but laugh.

Thankfully, the doodles were easy to clean, otherwise, the company car would've been turned into

Molly's canvas.

Molly, now dressed, appeared and asked, "What are you guys praising me for?"

Coleen laughed, "We're just talking about some funny stuff you did as a kid."

She pointed at Chad's car, "Go with Chad, and don't just fall asleep. Chad's gonna get tired from the

long drive, so keep him company."

"Got it." Molly replied, tossing her bag onto the back seat and hopping into the passenger seat.

After the kids left, Mr. Kendrick told Coleen, "We'll go to the hospital in the morning and then to the park

in the afternoon."

Coleen looked at Mr. Kendrick and nodded, smiling.

On the road, Molly chatted with Chad for half an hour while munching on a fruit platter. When she got

tired, she just lay down and fell asleep. Chad gently covered her with his jacket.

When she woke up, they had already exited the highway. She had completed her mission of keeping

Chad company in her dreams.

Chad parked the car on the side of the road for a smoke break to shake off the sleepiness. Molly

stretched lazily after getting out of the car. She was mesmerized by the wildflowers around them.

"Spring's awesome; all the flowers are blooming."

She was dressed in a white hoodie and sky-blue jeans. She squatted by the roadside, basking in the

warmth of spring. Her hair glistened under the sunlight.

After a short break, they hit the road again. By noon, they finally made it to the countryside. Grandma

Aubree had already packed the wild hawthorns she had made.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're back!" Molly announced loudly as soon as they entered.

"Molly's here! Look what Grandpa Elmer picked for you from the mountain." Grandma Aubree called to

her with a smile.

The village was full of dog owners, and if they left the door open, neighborhood dogs would barge in

looking for food.

Grandpa Elmer chased the dogs away with a stick and closed the door. They hadn't forgotten Molly's

dog allergy.

"How come you have hawthorns at this season?" Molly asked.

Grandma Aubree explained, "Last year, no one picked the ripe hawthorns on the mountain, so

Grandpa Elmer and I picked a big bag. They were originally for Mr. Kendrick since he has high blood

pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar."

Grandma Aubree brought out two bags, "The yellow one is for Mia. She needs some sugar. If pregnant

women don't eat well, they can get hypoglycemia, so I coated these hawthorns with sugar. The white

one is for your dad. Let him make tea with them. It'll help."

After a pause, Grandma Aubree added, "I didn't prepare a lot for Mia. She's still in early pregnancy. If

she feels uncomfortable, she can eat a hawthorn to ease it, but she can't have them too often."

"Got it, I'll remember." Molly said. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

At lunch in the countryside, Juliana called Grandpa Elmer and Grandma Aubree. At the time, Molly and

Chad were right there. She was still trying to use her parents to help her son Dave find a job.

Grandpa Elmer started coughing angrily, "You could spend all this time you're wasting on us to help

Dave find a job himself."

"My husband still hasn't found a job. We're living off our savings now. If you can't help Dave, then help

me." Juliana said.

Grandpa Elmer said, "I can help you, but you don't listen to my advice. The security guard job I found

for your husband, he quit after two days, complaining it was too tiring, humiliating, and the salary was

too low. I suggested Dave learn a skill, but you were against it because of the low pay and poor

conditions. Juliana, people should live within their means. They're only capable of so much, yet you

want them to earn high salaries and enjoy high-end treatment when they can't do anything. What

company would hire them?"

Juliana argued, "Don't we have connections? Talk to Molly. Dave is her brother after all."

Before Juliana could finish, Grandpa Elmer angrily hung up the phone. He told Grandma Aubree,

"From now on, we're not answering her calls."

The elderly couple liked to turn the volume up on their phones because of their poor hearing. Molly and

Chad heard everything Juliana said.

"Dave still hasn't found a job yet?" Chad asked.

Grandpa Elmer slapped the table in anger, "He never even tried to look for a job. Dave's dad is

hopeless. I went out of my way to find him a laid-back security guard job that would've paid the bills,

but he thought it was beneath him and the salary too low, so he just walked out. Unbelievable!"

Chad was well aware that this family was full of shady characters. The world was a big place, filled with

all sorts of people.

Molly kept quiet on the side, but Grandma Aubree piped up, "Molly, if Juliana calls you, just tell her

you're still a student. You’re young and have no business meddling in their affairs."

Grandpa Elmer thought Juliana was a lost cause too. After badmouthing Molly to the Byrne family, and

finding out who Molly really was, she had the audacity to ask for help.

Andre cut off the financial aid to Juliana's family because Molly was insulted. There was no way he'd

agree to let Dave work at the company. It was already generous that he didn't make Dave jobless.

Even Grandpa Elmer thought Juliana was dumb as a bag of hammers.

Molly nodded, "Okay, I won't get involved."

When they got back to Havenbrook, Chad sneakily handed Molly nine hundred bucks. Molly took the

money, tiptoed into Grandpa Elmer and Grandma Aubree’s bedroom, and stashed it under their pillow.

Once she came out, Chad knew Molly had done the deed. Then, Chad pulled a hundred bucks out of

his wallet and handed it to Grandpa Elmer and Grandma Aubree.

"You might not accept it if I gave you too much. This hundred bucks, you can use it for groceries,

clothes, medicine. It's a small token of my gratitude. Please take it."

Grandma Aubree declined, "We can accept your father’s money, but not yours. You work hard for your

money. Save it for your future wife."

"This money wouldn't even buy Chad a wife. Just take it, or Chad and I won't have peace of mind.

Besides, it's not that much." Molly said.

Seeing the kids being so thoughtful and not giving too much money, Grandpa Elmer and Grandma

Aubree accepted their gesture.

With still plenty of daylight, Molly and Chad took off. However, Chad received a very angry call from

Grandma Aubree on his way. "When did you guys put the money under the pillow?"
