The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 357 A Bite from Vera

A journalist's pen and a lawyer's mouth can twist the truth.

Regular folks can't afford to mess with either.

Patrick noticed Vera's lips were red from the spice, so he picked up her juice and held it to her lips.

Vera took a sip and told Molly, "Take this time think about where you want to eat."

"Okay, I'll let you know once I have the results."

Vera hung up, took the straw out of her juice, and drank straight from the cup.

She then put her fork into her husband's bowl. "Honey, I want your spicy wings." "They're spicy."

Vera pouted. "Just one bite, please."

Patrick, feeling helpless, handed it over. Vera took a big bite.

Half an hour later, Laura, Frank, and Lisa left Sebastian's office in silence.

Sebastian walked them to the door and ignored Molly, who was sitting on a bench.

At the door, Sebastian told Laura and Frank, "I've explained the pros and cons. If this escalates, it'll only hurt you. Go home and learn to be decent people." Lisa tearfully thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Chase."

Sebastian glanced at her but didn't respond.

In the taxi, Lisa, who was usually timid, said, "Let's get a divorce. I want this child."

Watching them leave, Sebastian entered the police station, and Molly hugged his arm. "Sebastian, did you help me again?"

Sebastian's veins bulged. "Molly, you're reporting to Mom's company on Monday!"

When Molly, Vera, and Randall were in school, they behaved for a few months.

As soon as the holiday started, they ended up at the police station within a week.

Back in Sebastian's office, he raised his hand as if to hit Molly. Molly, knowing he wouldn't, leaned in and said, "Sebastian, if you can't hit me, just give me a kiss." Sebastian gritted his teeth and pushed her away. "Molly, can you give me a break?"

Molly hugged his waist. "Sebastian, you should feel lucky this time."

"I used to have fantasies about marriage, but after seeing their situation, I realized their tragedies are more effective than any case studies." "Lisa's tragedy scared me. I no longer fantasize about love or marriage."

She was so sincere that Sebastian believed her. "This is why you should investigate before marriage. Anyone who pursues you must inform me." Molly nodded. "I will, Sebastian."

Sebastian looked down at Molly, who leaned into his arms. "You didn't get physical today?"

Molly said, "Not today. Even Patrick did. I just yelled."

Sebastian responded indulgently. "Yeah, yelling isn't illegal."

Molly smiled. "Even if I did get physical, you wouldn't let anything happen to me."

Sebastian was silent. He thought, 'When did Molly get so good at reading me?'

After changing clothes, Sebastian took Molly out for burgers.

When the topic of her internship came up, Molly dodged it. "Patrick is going on a business trip, so I plan to stay with Vera at the Olteran Villa." Sebastian said, "Trust me. Patrick won't let you stay there."

Molly, with a mouthful of burger and cheese at the corners of her mouth, had Sebastian wipe her face with a napkin. It was a routine they were used to. Molly said, "Sebastian, you haven't taken me out during the break."

Sebastian replied, "I'm so busy. I wish I could clone myself. Where would I replace the time?"

Molly asked, "Can you take some time tomorrow to go home with me to pick up our grandparents and bring them to the city? The countryside is full of mosquitoes and it's so hot. I promised them I'd bring them to the city for the break." Sebastian thought about his schedule. "I can't make it. Let Dad go with you."

Molly frowned, "I don't want to go with Dad. He always wants to stay overnight, and last time I got bitten by mosquitoes all over before he finally brought me back."

When Molly was in seventh grade, she was excited to go back home with Timothy. But because she wore a skirt, her legs were covered in mosquito bites. Even in the bathroom, mosquitoes bit her. She cried and begged Timothy to take her back that day. Timothy, used to it, didn't mind the mosquitoes, so they stayed. Finally, Zoey gave Molly a bath with soap. The next morning, Molly woke up with bites all over her face and hands. Seeing her so badly bitten, Timothy felt sorry and quickly took her back. When they got to Zandonick, Ellie saw Molly's miserable state and angrily hit Timothy, saying, "Anyone who didn't know would think you're her stepfather, deliberately taking her back to feed the mosquitoes." Sebastian was a high school student at that time. When he went home, he joined Ellie to apply ointment to Molly's bites. After that, Ellie rarely let Molly go back home in the summer.

Sebastian remembered those days. "How about Dad or Mom's driver takes you?"

Molly thought it was too much trouble and shook her head. "I'll just buy a ticket and go pick up Grandma and Grandpa myself tomorrow."

Sebastian asked, "Can you handle it?"

Molly replied, "Of course I can."

After finishing her burger, Molly stayed in Sebastian's office all afternoon. She called Max and Zoey, "Grandma, Grandpa, pack your clothes. I'm coming to pick you up tomorrow to stay in the city."

Zoey said, "I'm not going!"

Max said, "I'm not going either!"

Molly lied, "You better come. Dad and Mom are fighting all the time, and their marriage is on the brink. If you come, they won't dare to fight."

Hearing that Ellie and Timothy's marriage was in trouble, Max and Zoey quickly packed their clothes.

The next morning, Sebastian took Molly to the airport. "Contact me when you arrive and when you get home. Don't talk to strangers, don't eat anything given by others. If anyone asks for help, go straight to the airport staff. Keep a low profile, and if someone tries to chat you up, just walk away."

Sebastian treated Molly like a child, giving detailed instructions.

Molly said, "Sebastian, I'm going in the morning and coming back in the afternoon. Don't worry so much. I'm an adult. I can handle it."
