The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 351 Molly Checks Sebastian's Contacts

Patrick glanced at Vera, shook his head with a smile, and thought, 'Let her say whatever she wants, as long as she's happy.'

Later, when Shawn got his milkshake, he glared at Patrick. "Why'd you get me a milkshake with less ice and no sugar? I wanted more ice and regular sugar. Without those things, this milkshake tastes awful." Shawn had grown up, knowing exactly what he wanted in a milkshake.

Vera eyed Shawn's milkshake jealously and said, "Be grateful, Shawn. I wanted one, but he wouldn't let me."

Shawn glanced at the juice in Vera's hand and scoffed, "What's so special about juice? Our housekeeper can make you a dozen different flavors."

Vera shot back. "What's so special about milkshakes? Our housekeeper can make you a dozen different flavors too."

Shawn was left speechless. He always argued with Vera, but he never won.

Then he asked, "Where's Molly?"

Vera replied, "She's back to see Sebastian."

Shawn was annoyed. "She's always with Sebastian. Patrick, you should bring Molly back to stay with us sometime."

Vera pointed at Shawn and said, "See, you're starting again. The Chase family is also Molly's home. She's been with you for months; what's wrong with her going back to the Chase family during the holidays?" Shawn pulled Vera aside and whispered, "Vera, I think Sebastian has bad intentions toward Molly."

Vera was speechless. How did Shawn see through it?

Before long, Randall returned. Seeing Shawn and Vera whispering with drinks in their hands, he asked, "What are you guys talking about? Let me in on it."

Shawn turned away. "None of your business. Why are you prying?"

Randall fell silent and quietly sat on the sofa.

Seeing Randall, Vera suddenly remembered her question. "Shawn, if your granddaughter was pregnant, would you hold her waist?"

"Is your baby a girl?" Shawn asked, suddenly excited. Could he be having both a grandson and a granddaughter?

Randall also looked at Vera's belly, wondering if he was getting a sister.

Vera shook her head, dashing Shawn's hopes. "It's a boy."

Shawn's mood soured instantly. "I don't have a granddaughter, so I wouldn't know."

He was waiting for Vera to say, "I'll give you a granddaughter next time."

Vera asked again, "But if Molly was pregnant, would you hold her?"

Shawn looked at Vera like she was crazy and snapped, "Am I insane?"

Then he added, "A husband holds his wife. No matter how close a father and daughter are, there should be boundaries. What kind of question is that?" Shawn started to enjoy his milkshake.

Vera's expression darkened. "Shawn, I saw Dennis today. The one who tricked you into drinking lemon water, made you sprain your ankle and get hospitalized, and has been blocking Vincent's promotion. The Dennis who doesn't get along with our family."

Randall quietly got up and left the living room again.

Shawn's disdain was palpable. He shot Vera a dark look. "You could've just said Dennis's name. Why the long explanation?"

Vera smirked. "I was worried you might have dementia and forget who Dennis is."

Shawn raised his cane, ready to scare her.

Vera quickly moved to Patrick's side. "I saw him with a pregnant woman today, and he was holding her waist like this." She grabbed Patrick's hand, placed it on her waist, and said, "Just like this."

Shawn and Patrick's expressions turned serious.

"Vera, are you saying that while I went to get you juice, you saw Dennis with a pregnant woman?" Patrick asked, his face serious.

Vera nodded. "I actually saw them at the hospital during my last check-up too."

Patrick glanced at Shawn, who put down his cane and milkshake, frowning deeply.

The atmosphere in the living room shifted. Vera felt the tension. "What's wrong?" she asked, breaking the silence.

Shawn turned to Vera. "Vera, from now on, if you see Dennis, avoid him."

Shawn's rare seriousness made Vera realize something was very wrong. "Shawn, if you don't tell me why, I'll be curious. Especially now that I'm on vacation with nothing to do, I have plenty of free time, and I'm not exactly a well-behaved person." Shawn sighed. "Dennis is sterile."

"What!" Vera gasped, looking between Shawn and Patrick.

Patrick nodded. "He has a volatile personality. Shawn is worried that since he has no heirs, he might harm you because you're pregnant."

Vera blinked. "You mean he has no children? Why?"

Patrick said, "It's an old story from dad's generation."

Shawn added, "Vera, don't talk about what you saw today or before to anyone else."

Vera nodded obediently.

"Patrick, come with me to the study."

Left alone in the living room, Vera quickly got up and left too.

At the Chase family home, Sebastian finally returned. As soon as he got home, he asked Molly if Alan had contacted her.

Molly shook her head. "He contacted me twice after you left, but then I got busy with exams and studying, and he didn't call again. I guess he gave up." Sebastian was relieved, worried that someone might pursue Molly while he was away.

"And what about you, Sebastian? Who likes you out there?" Molly asked, showing her assertiveness.

Sebastian said, "Once they knew I had a 'girlfriend,' no one paid attention to me anymore."

Molly said, "Give me your phone."

Sebastian handed her his phone. "It's just some married male colleagues."

He hadn't even added any married female colleagues, let alone unmarried ones.

Molly looked through it and saw that it was indeed just some men.

Molly was completely reassured!
