Chapter 181

When Molly opened the door, she saw Cadenstanding outside the door with a piece of luggage. His eyes looked embarrassed the minutehe saw her. Molly was shocked to see him, but she also noticed the embarrassment in his eyes.

“Come in.” Molly quickly invited him in. While she walked him to the living room, she thought, ‘Somethingmust‘ve happened to the Grants.

‘Molly passed him a glass of warm water and said in a nicer tone, “What happened?”

When she looked closely, Caden‘s eyes seemed slightly red. ‘Did he cry?‘ she wondered.

Caden did not make a sound. He just looked down and stared atthe cup of water in his hand. The warmth of the water was warming up his cold fingers.

He did not want to tell his sister the reason for his visit as he did not want to burden Molly with the terriblethings that were going on in his family. Molly did not push him as well.

She justlooked at him quietly and thought, ‘Caden has always been a nice kid. I never had to worry about him when I was with him. What on earth happened for him to come to see me?‘ After some time, Caden‘s lips moved, and his slightly hoarse voice was heard. “Molly, I want to drop out of school.”

He then took a sip of water.

Dropping out was a major decision, and he could not do it himself. However, he had

really thought about it, which was why he went to look for Molly.

Molly frowned. ‘Caden is already in his senior year in high school, and he‘s going to sit

for his finals and graduate the next semester. It‘s not rational for him to drop out now.‘

‘What exactly happened?‘ “Caden, tell me. What happened?”She continued, “We should solve every problem we face, isn‘t it?”

Molly‘s gentle voice made Caden teary–eyed. He then said hesitantly, “A student accused me of stealing their money, and my teacher got involved. Dad and mom were alerted about this, andthey just so happened to bring Diana back to her home. When Diana knew about this, she immediately said I was guilty. So, I‘argued with her and left right after.” His nose started to burn after he finished speaking, so he took a deep breath in, and Molly quickly

handed him a paper towel.

Though Caden was brought up in the countryside, he was still a boy. An outsider falsely accused him, and when he got home, he had to listen to Diana‘s insults. It was only natural for him to be frustrated.

Teenagers are in their rebellious phase. He was accused but had received no support from his family. Worse, they were still questioning his integrity.

Caden could not take it, and he could not help but compare the difference between Diana and Molly. “She treats me like dirt, and she‘s accusing me now. So, I just told her thatshe was not my sister. I only have one sister, and that‘s you. Then… Then, she slapped me. “Dad and mom saw her hitting me, so mom scolded her. She got upset, and they started fighting.” ‘No one wanted toback down, so everyone started fighting each other.

This family is a mess,‘ Caden thought.

Caden did not want to think about them anymore. Other than insults, there was nothing

but violence. There was not an ounce of love that a normal family would have. Back

when they were living in the countryside, they were still living a calm life even though

they were poor. Caden could not stand their current lifestyle and a family like that

anymore. So, he took the chance to leave them while they were still in a mess. Molly did not look too good

chaotic it was in Caden‘s home.
