Chapter 591 Let's Get the Marriage Certificate
Molly seemed to really get it, and Sebastian was pretty happy with the examples he had lined up.
Watching Molly seriously think about how to lose weight, Sebastian suddenly blurted out, "Molly, how about we get a marriage license?" Molly's train of thought derailed. She turned, her beautiful eyes wide with shock, "What did you just say?"
Sebastian swallowed hard, "Let's register our marriage." He wanted to make Molly officially his as soon as possible.
That way, she'd be his and only his.
Molly blinked, taking a while to process.
Sebastian added, "Go to bed early tonight, and you'll be a bit thinner when you wake up tomorrow. While you're thin, we can go..."
"Don't lie to me," Molly finally caught on.
Sebastian sighed, "Okay, I won't lie this time. But think about what I said. You'll look better in the photos if you're thinner."
Sebastian hung out in Molly's room until nine, then got kicked out.
"My leave is almost up, Molly. If I miss this chance, I'll have to wait in line again,"
Late at night, Molly couldn't sleep with so much on her mind.
At the Olteran family home, Shawn couldn't sleep either. He glanced at Theodore beside him, who was still wide awake.
Theodore got all excited at night, flailing his limbs and kicking his little feet, eagerly chatting with Shawn.
Shawn's eyelids were heavy with sleep, but every time he tried to doze off, Theodore would cry. "I really can't deal with your family. Vera annoys me, Patrick pisses me off, and you, Theodore, you torment me."
"Why can't your mom get you to sleep through the night? Why is your dad so irresponsible, leaving you with your grandpa? Why can't you just close your eyes and sleep? Does your family enjoy bullying an old man like me?" Shawn muttered, "It's pointless talking to you; you don't understand anything."
The next morning, only Patrick and Vincent were having breakfast in the Olteran family dining room.
"Where's Cindy?" Patrick asked.
Vincent replied, "She stayed up watching shows last night, probably still asleep. Where's Vera?"
"She stayed up playing games last night, also still asleep," Patrick said.
Vincent asked again, "Dad didn't get up either, is he sick?"
Patrick coughed awkwardly, "No, he was tormented by Theodore and is probably catching up on sleep."
Randall and Susan? The family had stopped asking about them.
Randall slept a lot during the day yesterday, so he wasn't sleepy at night. Susan's schedule almost synced with Randall's; Heard she went to the kitchen to make food for Randall again last night. Soon, Molly showed up at the Olteran family home.
"Vincent, Patrick, why is it just you two here?" Molly looked around, not finding anyone else.
Patrick replied, "They're all still asleep."
Molly said, "I'll go wake them up."
They both said in unison, "Wake Dad, but don't wake Cindy or Vera."
Molly stood there, a bit stunned, then puffed her cheeks. Curiosity got the best of her, and she started to wonder.
Finally, Molly headed to Shawn's bedroom. "Shawn?"
No response. Molly walked in and saw Shawn still knocked out.
She ran in, squatted by the bed, and looked at Shawn's face.
Molly poked the barely-asleep Shawn, "Dad? Shawn? Wake up, I'm back."
Shawn was groggy from being woken up. His eyelids wanted to open, but he was too sleepy. Like Molly, once he fell asleep, he was out cold and couldn't make sense of what others were saying. "Dad, I want to get a marriage license," Molly said.
"Okay."
Molly was surprised, "You agree?"
"Okay."
"Dad, are you even awake right now?"
"Okay."
Molly excitedly shook Shawn awake, "Dad, if you agree, I'll really go?"
He waved his hand irritably, "Go."
Molly said, "Then I'm leaving, Dad. Get some rest, goodbye."
Molly was back home for less than ten minutes before she left again.
Patrick and Vincent had no clue why Molly came back, so they didn't pay much attention.
They finally found out from Sebastian's News Feed, showing two marriage certificates.
When Vincent called Sebastian, his number was busy.
When he called Patrick, Patrick's phone was also busy.
Vincent thought about the few minutes Molly was home in the morning and immediately called her.
It was also busy.
Five minutes later, Vincent called Molly again. This time, Molly answered in a crying tone, "Vincent, I'm on my way home now. Shawn is about to lose it with me." Vincent said, "You think?"
Vincent hurried home too.
When he got home, everyone was gathered.
Sebastian was there too.
Vera, still sleepy, was holding Theodore and yawning. Randall had just woken up and came out without even washing his face. Shawn's face was red with anger. "Dad, I told you, and you agreed to let me get the license," Molly said.
Sebastian had a moment of doubt when Molly agreed to get the license in the morning. Would the Olteran family really be so chill about it?
But with the happy event in front of him, no matter how Molly made it happen, he took her to get the license right away.
After getting the license, he posted on News Feed, and within three minutes, Patrick's call came through.
Molly's phone rang too, with Shawn yelling at her to come home.
Sebastian had no choice but to come back too, after all, he was now the Olteran family's son-in-law.
"Molly, when did I agree to that? If you were getting the license, you could at least tell me. Would I have stopped you?" Shawn said angrily. "Dad, you really agreed. I came back in the morning and asked you about it." Molly explained the brief events of the morning to Shawn. Shawn glared, remembering that he did indeed shoo her away in the end.
