After lunch, they went for a stroll to help with digestion.
That was how Chad’s bank account took a “walk” and was $20,000 lighter.
The next day at school, Molly showed off her new outfit. "Looks good, doesn't it? Just bought it yesterday."
Mia looked at Molly's beautiful dress with envy, "It really looks great."
The dress highlighted Molly's good figure, while Mia could only wear loose maternity clothes. Not that her clothes were not pretty, but she couldn't wear anything fancier.
Her mom bought her a gray maternity dress at home that she could wear even when not pregnant. The pure cotton material was very comfortable against her belly.
Madison gave the dress to her daughter, and Mia liked it. But because the dress was form-fitting, her belly looked particularly big when she wore it. It wasn't suitable for school, so she would only try it on in the dressing room after a shower to look at her figure.
She asked Andre to take out her old clothes, change into the dress, and then zip it up from behind.
Andre was worried several times that he might hurt her belly.
"After the baby is born, I'm going on a shopping spree!" she declared.
Leo joked from the side, "My uncle won't let you out just after giving birth. He'll probably bring the mall home to you."
Mia responded, "That's a possibility."
Molly sat next to Mia, sharing her weekend, "On Saturday, I went to Jack's party and stayed out too late. My brother gave me a good scolding."
Mentioning Jack, Leo suddenly remembered something important he had to share with Mia and Molly. "His family is a real piece of work. His mom's so full of herself, looking down on people lower in status and sucking up to those higher. His dad's got a mistress and Jack even has an illegitimate sister. Their family is a complete mess, we should stay away from them."
Mia chimed in with something she had forgotten to mention. "That's not all, Jack is totally not boyfriend material. He had a girlfriend overseas and dumped her over religious differences. His mom even made a scene at school, and the poor girl ended up transferring because of depression. If Andre knew he was after you, he would hit the roof."
Leo looked at Mia in surprise. "How do you know all this?"
Mia quizzed Leo in return, "How do you know all this?"
Leo replied, "I did some digging."
Mia responded, "I had Cooper look into it."
Cooper was a fellow student studying abroad, one of the few to get a Ph.D., so it was easy to dig up dirt on Jack. After finding out what he had done, Cooper was disgusted and shared a piece of advice with Mia.
Mia turned to her friend, "Also, Cooper told me not to take him too seriously."
Molly looked at her two friends and said, "I know all the things you’ve mentioned."
Mia and Leo were confused.
Molly reminded them, "Have you forgotten my brother Chad?"
Mia asked, "Can he still investigate things overseas?"
Molly replied, "I don't know about that, but I know he can get all the information on him. The other night, he even replied to a message from Jack using my phone."
Molly showed them the message and asked, "Doesn't this message seem a bit weird?"
Leo glanced at it and blurted out, "You and your brother are sleeping together."
After saying that, Leo got hit by Mia.
Mia looked at the message and pondered, "Molly, Andre wouldn't dare send a message like this to my boy friends using my phone."
Leo's hand was on his just-hit shoulder. "My uncle would usually go straight to your boy friends."
Mia gave his other arm a punch.
