The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 527 Sebastian Sees Through Molly

Ernest scratched his head, totally confused.

Molly turned to Sebastian, "You said if I came back with you, you'd spill the beans on the case."

Sebastian nodded, keeping his word, "Cops found some burnt lithium batteries in the room that went up in flames." Molly was lost, "Like, the ones in the remote?"

"Nah," Sebastian sat down next to her, trying to calm her down and explain.

He pulled up a pic on his phone, "This is a lithium battery. They can blow up and catch fire, and it's a real pain to put out."

"That wasn't me. I don't even know this stuff," Molly said, shaking her head.

Sebastian put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "Chill, we'll figure this out soon."

Molly was still confused and couldn't concentrate on her books all afternoon.

Sebastian got another call. Before heading out, he warned Molly, "No one buys your story. Don't even think about arguing. Just stay put and study. I'll be back tonight, and don't go back to the Olteran family for now. That hickey on your neck isn't going away anytime soon."

Molly was stuck in the hotel again. She lay on the table, frustrated, trying to piece together the last few days.

She texted Vera, [How long does a hickey take to disappear?]

Vera replied, [Why are you asking, Molly?]

Molly texted again, [[How long did Patrick's hickey take to fade? Urgent!]

Seeing the urgency, Vera quickly responded, [Depends, but I had to wear a turtleneck for a week once.]

Molly looked at her neck in the mirror, guessing it would take about a week. [Is it obvious if I cover it with a tag?]

[Yeah, it's obvious. Molly, what's going on?] Vera was curious.

Molly typed out a message, then deleted it, then typed again, and deleted it again. [Asking for a friend.]

Vera tried to video call her, but Molly declined.

Vera sent another message, [Teddy's awake, wanna see him?]

Molly replied, [Record a video for me.]

Vera looked at Theodore in her arms, puzzled, "Weird, Theodore, what's up with Molly?"

That evening, Patrick came home. Vera was in the bedroom feeding Theodore. "Hey, you're back. Come see Theodore."

Patrick walked over, smiling, watching Theodore's closed eyes and moving mouth. He grinned and took Theodore, who was nursing.

With the food source gone, Theodore opened his eyes and looked at Patrick, confused.

Then he started wailing because he was still hungry.

Vera quickly took him back and continued feeding to calm him down. "Is Molly still at the hotel?"

Patrick shrugged, "Probably. She's scared of me and won't call. Why do you ask?"

Vera looked at Patrick, hesitated, then said, "No reason, just crossed my mind."

Patrick sat next to Vera, playing with her hair, lifting her strap, his eyes full of desire, "Vera, tonight..."

Before Patrick could finish, Vera grabbed Theodore and bolted, dodging the dangerous vibes Patrick was giving off.

Patrick watched her run off, loosened his tie, and casually tapped the side of the sofa. "Send Theodore to someone else tonight," he ordered.

Meanwhile, Sebastian came back to the hotel with dinner and some fruit.

Molly was sitting cross-legged on the chair, leaning against the wooden backrest, staring up at the hotel ceiling.

Her slender neck looked like a tasty snack to Sebastian.

He walked over, eyeing the marks he left earlier and gently brushed the dark purple spot on Molly's neck.

There were shopping bags all over the floor. Sebastian picked up the new clothes and glanced at them. Then he looked at Molly, who was sulking. She had gone shopping alone this time and didn't use his card. No spending alerts on his phone today.

"Let's eat," Sebastian said.

"Did your parents call you?" Molly asked.

Sebastian shook his head, "Don't worry about it."

"How can I not worry? You want to marry me, how can I not worry? And," Molly paused, "how will you explain to the Olteran family? They'll want to kill you when they find out."

Sebastian said, "I'm ready for that."

Molly suddenly stared at him, "Sebastian, did you plan this all along?"

Sebastian's goal was achieved, so he didn't hide it. "I changed my plan last night after seeing the photo you sent Abby. If you saw me as a brother, how could you kiss me on the corner of my mouth? If it were Vincent or Patrick, would you kiss their faces? You wouldn't! Because you know I'm not your real brother and you don't completely see me as a brother. I thought it was an opportunity."

Sebastian looked at Molly, "Molly, marrying me will make you happier. And I won't let you marry anyone else."

Molly turned her face away, looking disgusted.

Sebastian rubbed the red mark on Molly's neck, his thoughts hidden. He stood up, "Come and eat."

After dinner, Molly took back the room key and kicked Sebastian out.

At night, she lay in bed, unable to sleep.

Randall marked the key points for her again overnight. Unable to sleep, she got up to study again. She didn't sleep until four in the morning. Early in the morning, Sebastian took Molly to school and handed her over to Randall, "I'll pick you up after the exam."

Susan made three sandwiches in the morning. She and Randall ate theirs in the car, leaving the last one for Molly.

On the way, Susan didn't let Randall eat breakfast at home. She sat in the passenger seat, munching on her sandwich. Vera passed by and said to Susan, "Susan, even I, as amazing as I am, don't dare to eat in Randall's car."

Everyone had their quirks and Randall loved his car, not allowing anyone to eat in it.

But Susan was sitting in the passenger seat, already taking a bite of the sandwich.

Susan looked at the sandwich in her hand, "Vera, what should I do?" Her mouth was full, not daring to chew the sandwich. Soon, Randall came over.
