Chapter 468
Mia assuredly said, “No way. Molly’s feelings haven’t quite reached that level yet. At most, she’s
emotionally invested without realizing it, or she’s slightly aware. She and Chad are just exploring their
feelings for each other.”
Leo asked, “But Chad likes my aunt, right? He must’ve sensed that she’s into him. Why is he acting as
if nothing happened?”
Mia spected, “Perhaps they’re not ready to confront their feelings yet. They just want to keep things
as they are for now.”
Leo said bluntly, “So, they’re just flirting, huh?”
Mia nodded in agreement, “Your Aunt Molly does seem to enjoy that kind of thing. Plus, Chad surely
has his own reasons. The Byrnes are one obstacle, and our old man is another.”
“True,” Leo mused. “If Chad were to confess his feelings, he wouldn’t be able to exin it to his family,
nor could he freely interact with my aunt. Our family probably wouldn’t allow Molly to stay with the
Byrnes anymore.”
Mia reclined on her deck chair, with eyes closed, rxed. “We can just sit back and watch how things
unfold. Molly, being pursued by Chad, can’t escape this.”
“Why are you so certain?”
“The intuition of a married woman,” Mia responded with a smirk.
As they were chatting, Anya approached from behind, “Auntie, Leo, what are you guys talking about?”
Leo turned around, “Adult stuff, kiddo. You shouldn’t be too curious.”
Miaughed and opened her eyes to look at Leo. “Oh, look at my Leo, already considering himself an
adult.”
Leo retorted, “You’re about to be a mom. Aren’t you an adult?”
After saying that, he left the backyard and headed back to the cool indoors.
Mia gestured to the empty chair beside her, “Anya,e, sit. Let’s chat.”
In a while, Molly who was being pursued by the police officer Chad also joined them in the backyard.
She looked at Mia basking in the sun. “Mia, do you think you’re too pale and need some sun to bnce
your skin tone?”
Mia teased, “You’re not a mom yet. I’ll forgive your ignorance.”
After another five minutes, Mia got up with Anya’s help and went back to the living room.
Andre received a call from Noah, updating him about Anya’s prospective housing.
Naomi curiously inquired, “Why does Anya want to move out?”
Caught off guard by the simple question, Anya struggled with how to respond. Should she talk about
the fight, which wouldn’t make a good impression? Or should she make up a story, but what would she
say?
Seeing Anya’s dilemma, Mia casually suggested, “Living in a small dorm with so many people, there’s
no privacy. Since we have the money, why not let her move out?”
Anya shot Mia a grateful look.
After hanging up the phone, Andre asked Anya, “Anya, how about a two-bedroom house, a 20-minute
walk from Havenbrook University?”
Before Anya could respond, Leo, who was lounging on the couch, interjected, “Isn’t a two-bedroom too
small? It won’t be safe for her to live alone. We should hire a housekeeper, and she’ll need a study
room. At least a three-bedroom house would be better.”
After making his point, Leo sat next to Andre. His curiosity was aroused. “Andre, which neighborhood is
the house in? A 20-minute walk seems far. I should check it out too. Some neighborhoods can be a bit
chaotic nowadays, with many juniors and seniors moving out to rent houses as they prepare for
postgraduate studies. It might not be safe for a girl to live alone. Upscale neighborhoods would be
Mia raised an eyebrow at Leo’s meddling. Suddenly, she said to Naomi, “Naomi, I feel like having a cup
of hot milk.”
Naomi stood up, “Just a moment. I’ll heat it up for you.”
“I’ll join you.”
On their way to the kitchen, Mia asked Naomi, “Naomi, what do you think of Anya?”
“She’s a lovely girl. She’s pretty, can cook, has a good temperament, and is obedient. Plus, she’s
genuinely well-behaved! And she’s a good student.” She wouldn’t have gotten into Havenbrook
University otherwise.
Mia didn’t object. “How old is our Leo this year?”
“21.”
“And in three years?”
“24.”
Mia asked, “What should he be doing at 24?”
Naomi paused, looking at Mia who was full of mischief, and suddenly it all clicked. Sheughed and
excitedly clutched her hand. “Oh, Mia, I just love you so much!”
Naomi in a teaseful tone said, “You always know exactly where to tickle!”
Miaughed, “We should definitely snag this good girl for Leo. I asked around. She doesn’t have a
boyfriend.”
Right now, Leo still acted like a child at home. Despite being scolded and reprimanded, he was far from
mature. If he could meet a suitable girl who could help him grow quickly and understand the meaning of
responsibility, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Naomi returned to the living room after a while. “Andre, don’t let Anya move out. Our house is big
enough for one more person.”
Andre, Bruce, and even Leo were shocked by Naomi’s suggestion. Even Anya was puzzled. She
innocently looked at Naomi for an exnation.
“Our house is big enough, and we have our own trusted housekeepers. We also have Mia, Molly, and
Leo forpany. Plus, they all attend the same school, so they can hang out together all the time. If
she moves out, not only will we worry, but it also won’t be as convenient.” Reаd at NovelDrama.Org
Andre’s gaze fell on Mia, who was sipping her hot milk. She took small sips, careful not to scald herself.
He couldn’t help but wonder if this was all part of her n. Mia had captured Andre’s heart, but Andre’s
little darling was being a bit unruly.
Leo said, “No way, I just got my freedom. I’m not being Mia’s chauffeur anymore, but now you want me
to be Chubby Anya’s chauffeur. You do it if you want it so much.”
Anya also said, “Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I think it might be better if I live on my own.”
Naomi asked, “Anya, what will you do if you encounter danger while living alone? Is it as safe as here?
There are so many crimes these days, stalking, breaking in, arson. You can’t take it lightly. If something
happens to you, how will Andre exin to your parents?”
Although Leo acted immaturely, he never lost his head at crucial times. His mom’s intention was to let
