The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride -
Chapter 367 No Fighting Now
Vera sounded arrogant.
Molly said, "When it comes to arrogance, you're the queen."
Vera asked, "You found out about Sebastian last night and didn't get mad?"
Molly replied, "I couldn't stay calm. Just before I left, I realized causing a scene would still affect Sebastian. Those people were just investigating; the real problem is the anonymous tipster."
Vera nodded. "Not bad. Last night, Randall and I were worried you'd rush over irrationally. We almost sent Randall to the Chase family to stop you."
"By the way, Vera, are Vincent and Shawn okay?" Molly asked.
Vera shook her head. "Our family wasn't affected. Vincent says the biggest impact should be on Sebastian."
Molly got serious. "Something feels off. It seems like they're targeting Sebastian."
Sam got back to the police station and told his colleagues about Molly's identity.
Everyone was shocked, and someone asked, "If Molly and Mr. Chase aren't siblings, why do they look like a couple?"
The room went silent. They knew how protective Sebastian was of Molly.
Sam wasn't as tough as Sebastian, but he was still a young talent. Being with Molly would be a good match, but Sebastian, claiming to be her brother, had beaten Sam up twice. Even if he were her real brother, was that necessary?
The office was quiet for a moment, and Sam quickly defended, "Molly has been like a sister to Mr. Chase for over a decade. What's wrong with him being extra caring? If I picked up a sister and raised her for over ten years, I'd be the same." "Besides, stop thinking about me pursuing Molly. I have a wife now. If she finds out, I'll be in big trouble."
Then, Sam's colleagues laughed and teased, "Sam is a henpecked husband."
Sam sat at his desk and started looking for the information Sebastian wanted.
Vera and the others had lunch, and Randall dropped Molly off at the company building. "Molly, take a break before going back to work."
"Okay, I'll rest in my mom's office." After getting out of the car, Molly went to the passenger side and said to Vera, "You're pregnant. You'd better not run around. If I find out anything, I'll call you." Vera nodded. "If you're feeling down, remember to call us."
Molly replied, "Don't worry. No one can make me unhappy."
Watching Molly return to the MS Group, Vera glanced at Randall. "What did Patrick say to you at Rustic Hearth Cafe?"
Randall replied, "First, don't eat junk food. Second, don't get into fights. Third, don't investigate last night's incident."
Vera asked again, "What else did he say? You were on the phone for a while; it can't be that simple."
Randall tried to lie but failed, so he made up something else.
After getting home, Randall handed Vera over to Cindy safe and sound.
Cindy grabbed Vera's hand and pulled her to the bedroom. "You scared me to death. Where did you go?"
"I just went out for a meal, Cindy. Don't worry. I'm an adult. I won't get lost or get myself in danger." Vera was taken away for a lecture.
Randall stepped out with his phone and sat in the car to call Patrick. No answer-Patrick was probably busy.
Thinking about Patrick's earlier words, Randall drove away from the Olteran family.
Meanwhile, Cindy was in Vera's bedroom, advising her, "Vera, you're about to be a mom. You need to be more stable. Don't worry about household stuff. I just want you to be happy and avoid danger."
"Cindy, you're all too nervous. I know my condition. I won't get into anything risky now. We just had lunch. Molly was worried about Sebastian, and Randall and I were concerned she'd act impulsively, so we arranged for a lunch together. We just wanted to talk her through it." They also discussed other things.
Vera continued, "You all thought I was going out to fight? Am I that foolish? If something happened to me, I'd lose my baby and myself too."
Cindy gently patted Vera. "You and the baby will be fine. Don't say things like that."
Vera quickly said, "I won't. My baby is healthy, and so am I."
It was time for Vera's nap. Before Cindy could say anything, Vera yawned.
Cindy didn't stay long and let her lie down. "I'll talk to you more when you wake up."
Vera asked, "You're still going to lecture me?"
Cindy smiled, "Just go to sleep. I'll turn off the light."
Vera lay down, and Cindy quietly left, turning off the light.
After lying down, Vera's sleepiness faded. She gently placed her hand on her belly, feeling the baby inside.
Patrick used to love touching her belly. Almost every night before bed, he would place his hand on her belly and gently stroke it.
Even though he never verbally expressed his love for the baby, his actions showed his anticipation for their child's arrival.
Vera closed her eyes and softly said, "Baby, it's not easy for me to carry you. You have to be good, and let me be good too."
She fell asleep with her hand on her belly.
Just as Vera was about to fall asleep, she suddenly felt a movement in her belly, and her eyes instantly opened.
Sebastian didn't go home; he was in his car looking at the information Sophia had given him.
Unknowingly, it was already noon.
Randall's call brought him back to reality.
He answered, "Randall?"
Randall said, "Sebastian, Patrick asked me to find you."
Earlier at Rustic Hearth Cafe, Patrick's conversation with Randall wasn't just about protecting Vera and Molly. He also said, "Randall, you're twenty-one now. You're a man, not a boy." Cindy always treated Randall like a child, keeping things from him and not letting him know about family matters.
Patrick wasn't like that. He believed Randall should take on family responsibilities early.
Everyone grows up, and they will all grow old. How long can they protect Randall?
If Randall doesn't grow up, he'll never be able to take on big responsibilities.
"I know you're good friends with Vera and Molly, but they're girls. How long can you keep running after them? You need to grow up and start getting involved in family matters." Later, Patrick told him, "Take them back, then go find Sebastian."
