Chapter 1073
Chad asked coolly, "Did you get the money? 600 grand."
"Wow, you knew?" Anya went from startled to shocked.
Chad replied, "Well, duh. How else would the money have been transferred if I hadn't given my phone number, bank account, and all that?"
Anya blinked, "Chad, did you buy a lottery ticket? Did you hit the jackpot?"
Chad said, "...I won't be picking you up after school today; make sure you head home early. Oh, and Ms. Anya, set aside $200,000 for me; I've got to pay off the car loan. Use $100,000 as your fun money and another $100,000 as a rainy day fund. Do whatever you like with the rest."
Anya jumped around excitedly in the hallway, "Chad, you're incredible!"
Chad looked at himself in the mirror, proud, "Of course, would your Chad be anything less? Get ready, once I find us a place, you're moving in."
"Ah!!" Anya blushed, understanding the hint.
Chad teased, "What's with the 'ah'? Who's been going on and on about us moving in together?"
After class ended, Chad heard the bell, "Is it time for class?"
"Chad, it's the end of class."
Chad: "..."
With her boyfriend suddenly loaded, Anya felt confident. On her way home, she bought a ton of snacks and toys, showing them off to Mia and Molly. When Andre got home, she wanted to brag to him too but clammed up when she saw her serious-faced uncle.
Mia said, "Honey, I've got some great news."
"What?"
"Chad won $600,000 from a lottery ticket," Mia announced. "I want to try my luck with lottery tickets too." Andre, sitting on the couch with his son, asked, "Win $600,000 from a $1,000,000 ticket?"
Mia: "..."
Anya chimed in, "Aunt Mia, Chad isn't the lottery type. He must've earned that money on his own."
Andre didn't react as he checked his son's mouth, "Let dad see how many new teeth you have. Kissing dad is starting to hurt.'
Henry giggled happily in his dad's arms, his little foot waving over his dad's arm as he grabbed his dad's finger inspecting his baby teeth.
Feeling a bit awkward, Anya
watched as Mia smoothed things over, "Anya, don't worry about your uncle, he's just too proud to show it, but you bet he's thrilled inside."

Andre stood up with his son, "Warm, don't let him watch 'Boonie Bears' all the time; change it up. He's dreaming about it every day."
Henry climbed up his dad's legs, hugging his neck, "Boonie! Daddy."
Andre: "You can't watch it all the time."
He carried his son to the study.
After getting the money, Chad and some friends headed to the Majestic Dining Enclave that afternoon. They ate and drank from 6 PM till 9 PM t Leaving the Enclave, they hit a lounge, drinking and singing like there was no tomorrow. When Someone suggested calling some company, Chad, though tipsy, was clear-headed, "No way, if my wife finds out, she'll roast me."
Chad spent the day on spirits, leaving everyone a bit lightheaded. It was late when Chad called a designated driver to get everyone home before heading back himself. Leaning on the elevator to stand upright, Chad was barely holding it together.
Anya, worried, called her boyfriend. Chad answered, "Hey, babe, babe, darling."
Anya, who was about to sleep, shot up in bed, "Chad, are you drunk?"
"No, not drunk, just a little. Just thanking some friends." Chad stumbled out of the elevator, swaying as he leaned on the wall heading back.
