The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

"He totally bailed on taking care of Teddy last night and dumped him on me. Teddy didn't crash until the middle of the night, and now I'm a zombie this morning. What I said doesn't count!" Shawn fumed, still pissed off.

Was Teddy mixed up in this too?

Everyone turned to look at Theodore, who was nestled in Vera's arms.

Theodore, snug in Vera's arms, glanced around the bustling living room. After a bit, he let out a little "ah" at just the right moment.

Feeling guilty, Vera quickly covered Theodore's tiny mouth, trying to keep him from drawing any more attention.

Molly shot a look at Randall, paused for a beat, then quickly shifted the blame. "Not my problem." She pointed at Theodore, "I asked you this morning if you were good to go, and you said 'yes.' If you wanna blame someone, blame Theodore. He's the one who kept you up all night and made you groggy this morning."

Theodore tried to say something, but Vera's hand over his mouth left him frustrated.

Shawn, knowing he was partly to blame, pointed at Patrick. "And you too!"

Patrick stayed silent.

Shawn then looked at Theodore, "And you!"

Vera hugged Theodore tighter, pulling his little face into her chest.

Sebastian knew it wasn't the right time to chime in.

They'd already gotten their marriage certificate; nothing anyone could do about it now. Everyone knew this was bound to happen.

Plus, Patrick was the toughest nut to crack. He'd threatened Sebastian over the phone that afternoon, but when he found out he and Theodore had indirectly helped the marriage happen, Patrick was too embarrassed to keep objecting. Shawn got so mad he sent Molly back to the Chase family, and Patrick's family went back to Cherry Villa. Vera, at the Olteran Manor, tearfully begged Shawn not to kick her out. "Dad, you can kick out my husband and son, but let me stay here to take care of you."

She knew what was waiting for her if she went back.

Theodore's little bedroom was about to get some use.

Shawn said, "I still want to live a few more years. Go back to your home."

That afternoon, Vera, holding Theodore and carrying his diapers and a few clothes, packed up and got into the car to head home.

Theodore, curious, looked out the car window, completely clueless about what was waiting for him at home.

Sebastian and Molly also left. Before getting into the car, Sebastian said, "On the wedding day, when I come to pick you up, I'll give Teddy a hundred thousand dollars, okay?" This was Sebastian's way of thanking Theodore for his "help."

With everyone gone from the living room, Randall yawned and pulled Susan back to continue their nap.

Sebastian had been away for a week and came back with a marriage certificate. The team was buzzing with gossip.

"Mr. Chase has claimed Molly," someone said.

"No wonder Mr. Chase kept such a close eye on Molly. Turns out he was watching his future wife. That's why Sam got beat up so many times," someone added.

"It's wild. After being siblings for over a decade, suddenly they're not related, and just when they realize this, they get married. Even TV dramas wouldn't pull this off."

David, sipping his coffee by the water cooler, finally chimed in, "You guys keep talking about Mr. Chase claiming Molly, but what about how Molly clung to him?"

The older officers remembered when Sebastian first started at the station as a rookie. Molly would hang around the entrance every day, waiting for him to get off work. When another woman brought Sebastian lunch, Molly got so mad she could hardly calm herself down.

"I'm telling you, they didn't just get together recently. This has been going on for a long time, and we just didn't know," David added.

Sam showed up, "No way. When Molly was still Mia Chase, Sebastian wouldn't have considered her; he always saw her as a sister."

Everyone was puzzled. "How do you know?"

Sam said, "Sebastian and I are alumni. I know a few of his seniors from school, and during a gathering, they told me that Sebastian had a girlfriend in college." The station fell silent, everyone staring at Sam. "Mr. Chase had a girlfriend?"

Sam nodded, "Didn't you know? Mr. Chase's girlfriend was really pretty and also a cop. No one knows why they broke up, but a lot of people felt sorry for them." "Mr. Chase is really something, huh?"

Sam added, "Let's keep this to ourselves. Don't let Molly find out. They're already married, and if this gets out and causes a fight, we'll all be in trouble."

"Knowing it would cause trouble, you still dare to openly discuss my private matters. Sam, you're really doing a great job as deputy captain!" a voice suddenly cut in. Sam immediately straightened up, his back stiff.

Seeing Sebastian back at work, the surrounding colleagues scattered quickly, each returning to their posts.

Sam checked the time. "It's the eighth day today." The day Sebastian returned to work!

Sebastian placed a hand on Sam's shoulder, standing in front of him in uniform.

As Sam prepared to stand and salute, Sebastian pressed down on his shoulder, keeping him seated.

"Welcome back," Sam said nervously.

Sebastian smirked, "Your way of welcoming is quite unique."

"Congratulations on your wedding," Sam quickly said to save himself.

Sebastian pointed at Sam's face. "Ten laps around the field."

"Yes, sir!" Sam left.

The other subordinates in the station kept their heads down. Rank really crushed people, especially when the difference was big.

Sebastian scanned the room. "Do you all know what to say and what not to say in front of Molly?"

"Yes, Mr. Chase. Congratulations on your wedding," everyone in the room replied.

Sebastian replied, "Thank you for the congratulations."

His way of accepting congratulations had a hint of coldness.

As Sam ran miserably around the field, the others didn't know whether to feel sorry for him.

Ernest from the neighboring department came over. "Where's Sebastian?"

The officer at the door pointed to Sebastian's office, and Ernest walked straight in. "Tell me honestly, during the Abby case last year, what was your relationship with Molly?" "Legally, none," Sebastian replied.

Ernest sat in the chair in front of Sebastian's desk, speaking as a close friend. "Are you really with Molly?"

"Wedding in March. Make sure to come," Sebastian replied.

Ernest said, "Are you blind? How did you end up with Molly?"

"Maybe I am really blind," Sebastian said.

Sebastian, in a good mood, didn't mind teasing.
