The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Ellie told Timothy what Jesse meant during the day. After hearing it, Timothy said, "He really thinks his son is excellent, doesn't he? He should see if our family even cares. When Molly comes down, tell her to stay away from Alan." Ellie added, "If we talk about the kids in our circle, Alan is the only one who is decent. He doesn't have the problems that rich kids usually have and is dedicated to his studies. When he returned to the country, he joined the company to learn. He may not be particularly admirable, but he's much better than many who are aimless. He's highly educated and, well, average-looking. Anyway, he's not as handsome as our son."

"You've started to judge people superficially."

"How am I being superficial?"

Timothy corrected Ellie and said, "Is Molly going to look for a boyfriend based on looks or education? We should look at the moral quality and character of that person. From what you just said, I think he's dull."

"Honey, when Molly looks for a boyfriend, compare him to Sebastian. If he surpasses Sebastian, we'll let Molly marry him. If not, I'll use my retirement money to support her."

Ellie replied, "You're just making it hard for our future son-in-law. In my eyes, no one can compare to Sebastian and Molly."

Ellie and Timothy chatted in the living room for a while. After taking a shower, Molly ran downstairs in her pajamas. "Mom, Dad, who are you comparing me and Sebastian to?" Ellie and Timothy exchanged glances and didn't tell Molly about their discussion.

In the evening, Sebastian came back.

When he got to the living room and saw no sign of Molly while changing his shoes, he called out, "Molly, come see what I brought you to eat."

Timothy said angrily, "She's upstairs on the phone with Vera. Sebastian, come here, I need to tell you something."

Sebastian put the beef skewers he bought in the dining room, washed his hands, and sat next to Timothy. "What's up?"

Timothy replied, "Tomorrow, go to the office and check if there's any issue with the Miller family."

Sebastian was puzzled. Didn't they just attend the Miller family's Vertex Innovations Group new store opening today?"

He poured water for himself and Timothy, then continued, "What's wrong with Vertex Innovations Group?"

The more Timothy thought about it, the angrier he got. "Jesse's son, Alan, seems to have his eyes on Molly."

Hearing this, Sebastian paused and looked up at Timothy. Timothy said, "Check on Alan, too."

Sebastian put down his water glass, his eyes deep, and asked casually, "Is that true?"

At this moment, Molly finished her phone call and ran out of her room, shouting, "Sebastian, you're back! What did you bring me to eat?"

Hearing her voice, Sebastian's face immediately lit up with a smile. "It's in the dining room; go see for yourself."

Molly ran straight to the dining room and saw the delicious beef skewers. She shamelessly shouted, "Sebastian, I love you forever."

Sebastian's face was filled with a doting smile. He watched Molly's back and said softly to Timothy, "I'll investigate them. Dad, anyone who wants to pursue Molly has to go through me."

Molly took the food to the sofa, curled up her legs, and sat next to Sebastian, leaning her shoulder against his. She ate one skewer and fed one to Sebastian.

"Molly, tell me about your day." Sebastian wanted to know who else was interested in Molly.

While eating, Molly told Timothy and Sebastian about her day. "Besides being hungry and afraid of drinking the wrong beverage, everything was fine. I even made a few friends today." Molly took out her phone to show Sebastian, "This is the Powell family's daughter, and this is the Taylor family's..."

Sebastian let her eat while he checked Molly's phone.

She added him to her Close Friends list on Facebook.

This made Sebastian very satisfied.

Seeing no guys added Molly, Sebastian turned off the phone and handed it back to her. "What were you doing in the room just now?"

Speaking of this, Molly was envious. "Sebastian, you don't know how smug Vera is now. The person giving her a massage is Patrick." In the Olteran family bedroom, Vera didn't want Patrick to massage her anymore.

She kicked her legs on the bed, not letting Patrick touch her. "Honey, the more you massage, the more it tickles."

Patrick held her ankles. "Don't move. You're just being lazy because your legs aren't cramping. When they do, you won't feel ticklish." Vera pouted and said, "Not everyone is like you, playing with their wife's legs every night. You've made the flesh on my legs loose." Patrick made up an excuse. "I'm massaging you every night so you'll have strength when giving birth."

Vera leaned against the headboard, no longer struggling.

She rubbed her belly, watching Patrick seriously massage her. She wanted to see how far Patrick would go for her, so she said, "Honey, my nails are long." Patrick replied, "I'll trim them for you later."

Vera said, "My toenails are long too."

Patrick grabbed Vera's small foot with his big hand. "I'll trim them all later."

Vera tried to pull her foot away, her face turning red. "No, no need, honey. I was just joking."

Patrick said, "There's no need to be shy. I've touched every part of you."

Vera was at a loss for words. "Molly just said we're torturing single people."

Patrick said, "She deserves it. We agreed not to be disturbed after 8 PM, but since you got pregnant, she's been breaking the rule. She brought this on herself."

Vera pulled her legs back and sat closer to Patrick. "Honey, now that I'm pregnant, everyone knows you can't sleep with me. No one follows the 8 PM rule anymore."

Patrick looked at Vera's face and said something she didn't want to hear, "I found out that after four months of pregnancy, couples can still be intimate. So, Vera, don't provoke me easily. You're past the safe period now. If I don't want to hold back at night, you won't escape, understand?"

Vera was stunned.

"Honey, don't lie to me. I'm pregnant; we can't have sex."

Patrick replied, "I asked the doctor as soon as I found out you were pregnant."

Vera asked, "Honey, how could you ask about sex so openly?" Wouldn't the doctor be surprised?

Patrick said, "Doctors see it all the time; it's not surprising. But don't try to change the subject. We're talking about not being disturbed after 8 PM."

Vera frowned. "Honey, were you lying just now?"

Patrick said, "Do you want to find out tonight..."

"No!" Vera interrupted.

Patrick hugged the fleeing Vera, locking her in his arms, and asked, "Are you scared?"

Vera nodded in his arms. "You should have told me earlier, so I wouldn't have teased you at night. This way, you wouldn't have to take cold showers." Patrick held her small hand and said, "When I take cold showers, you don't fare well either."

Vera thought of the nights they spent before, pursed her lips, and didn't dare to speak.
