When Cooper was getting ready to leave, he found a bit of solace in the farewell hug from his favorite nephew. The little guy clung to him, crying for quite a while, and by the end of it, had covered Cooper’s face in drool before finally letting go.
The day Cooper left, Molly and Chad coincidentally attended a baby’s first-month celebration. As soon as Molly laid eyes on the baby, who looked just as long as her arm, her maternal instincts kicked in, and she eagerly scooped up the infant. Watching her, Bob's wife remarked, "Marriage really changes a girl. I remember when our second was in the hospital, Molly visited and held him like he was a toy. Now, she’s got that motherly warmth about her."
Chad, standing nearby, chuckled, "Don’t hold him too long, your arms will get tired."
"Not tired at all."
Just then, the door swung open, and Annie stepped in. "Oh, everyone’s already here?"
Back in their college days, many knew about Chad and Annie’s history. Now, seeing them together again, especially with Chad's mischievous little one around, the room went silent as everyone held their breath.
A moment later, a man rushed in, "Annie, what are you, a speed demon? I just parked, and you disappeared in a flash!"
Conner barged in, muttering under his breath. The usually composed heir to the Nettleton family looked inexplicably tense as he took in the quiet room.
"What’s happening here?"
"Molly, what are you doing here?" Conner asked, eyeing his god-sister cradling the baby.
Molly, still holding the little one, looked up in surprise, "Conner, what brings you here?"
Conner had already pieced together the situation. He casually draped an arm around Annie, "Just tagging along with your sister-in-law."
Everyone turned, stunned, to the two standing at the door.
Molly blinked, "Wait, you mean my sister-in-law Summer?"
Sister-in-law Summer???
The crowd turned again, focusing on Molly with the baby.
Annie cleared her throat, "No, he's just joking."
"Joking? Annie, we're practically engaged!" Conner boldly declared to the room, "Let me introduce myself, I’m Conner, Annie’s fiancé."
Annie clenched her fist, glaring at the annoying man, "Out. Now."
Seeing her knuckles turn white, Conner wisely backed down, "Alright, I’ll wait outside."
As soon as he left, Molly practically tossed the baby at Chad, "ChadChadChad, hold him for me, I’m off to find my god-brother."
She handed the baby over and dashed out. The people inside were left in a daze.
Chad, holding the baby as if it were made of jelly, offered an awkward yet polite smile, "Molly hasn’t changed a bit."
Everyone laughed.
On her way out, Molly bumped into several old friends. "Molly, you used to call us ‘bro’ in school, and now you’re Chad’s wife. We don’t even know how to address you anymore."
"Just think of me as your sister."
Molly wove through the crowd until she found Conner sitting by himself, "Wow, god-brother, I didn’t expect you and sister-in-law Summer to be engaged."
