The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 389 The Person Sebastian Finds Attractive

Shawn listened as Vera and Cindy exchanged comforting words. As a new mom herself, Vera, being younger and still finding her way, received a lot of guidance from Cindy, who had been like a mentor to her.

Cindy, occasionally muddled in her dealings with Randall, often found wisdom and consolation in Vera's thoughtful and soothing advice. Vera, smart and adept at navigating conversations, frequently helped Cindy through her concerns. When the women got along well, it fostered a harmonious home environment. The Olteran family had become quite the picture of domestic bliss. There was no longer any concern about a rift like the one between Vincent and Patrick. Instead, the atmosphere was one of brotherly affection and respect.

Vera and Cindy's relationship was also flourishing, marked by genuine warmth and friendliness.

Vera, thinking about her sandwich, wandered over to the table, sat on the sofa, picked up a sandwich, and handed it to Cindy. "Cindy, try this. It's really good. Molly recommended it." Shawn added, "Yeah, it's delicious. Cindy, you should try it. Vera brought it just for you."

Cindy took a bite. "It is good. Where's it from?"

Vera told her.

At the hospital, Molly asked Ellie, "Mom, Vera's due in a few months. What should I get for the baby?"

Ellie said, "It's still early. When Vera's about to give birth, get the baby some clothes and a small gold bell."

Molly nodded. "Okay, when the time comes, Sebastian will be out of the hospital too, and I'll have him go with me to buy it."

Ellie teased, "You always want Sebastian to go shopping with you."

"When I shop with you, we always bicker. Either you annoy me, or I annoy you. Sebastian doesn't argue with me. If I like something, he just buys it. Of course, I'll choose Sebastian." Ellie said, "Sebastian spends all his free time with you. He doesn't even have time to date."

Molly cheekily said, "Mom, why don't I be your daughter-in-law?"

Ellie playfully knocked on Molly's head. "Nonsense."

Molly hugged Sebastian's arm and teased her parents. She leaned on Sebastian's shoulder. "Sebastian, let me be your girlfriend?" Sebastian smiled and said, "Sure."

Everyone thought Sebastian was just joking with Molly and didn't take it seriously.

Molly's face turned red, even her ears. She tried to stay calm and pointed at Sebastian, saying to Ellie and Timothy, "Sebastian agreed."

Timothy thought they were just fooling around and lightly scolded them. Molly, being thick-skinned, didn't get upset even when Ellie and Timothy scolded her. After a while, she went to Timothy's side. "Dad, am I pretty?"

Timothy, full of affection, said, "Go away, you're not as beautiful as Ellie."

Ellie laughed, "Did you hear that? You don't know your place and still want to compete with me in beauty. You lost, didn't you?"

Molly was unconvinced. "In a few days, I'll go find Shawn. Shawn will definitely say I'm the most beautiful."

Shawn actually wanted to tell Molly she was blindly confident again.

Ellie later said, "You're only beautiful in Sebastian's eyes."

Molly looked at Sebastian. "No, the most beautiful in Sebastian's eyes is the campus queen from his college, a very dashing girl. Right, Sebastian?"

Sebastian was speechless. "Why bring up the past? I'm talking about you. You're beautiful."

The chat in the ward continued. With two elderly folks at home, Ellie and Timothy left around three in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Ellie told Molly, "If you don't want to sleep on the sofa, there's a folding bed outside for less than $50. Go buy one and don't take Sebastian's bed."

"I get it. It was a mistake at noon. When you come to deliver food tonight, you'll see a well-behaved Molly."

Ellie retorted, "Who said I was coming to deliver food tonight?"

Molly shamelessly replied, "I did."

Ellie had nothing to say and quickly left.

Timothy was grinning from ear to ear as he headed back to the elevator, feeling a swell of pride over Molly's sharp tongue. He couldn't help but feel a bit smug about her way with words.

Ellie said, "Even if Molly is a handful, in your eyes, she's a genius. Molly's sharp tongue is a flaw, but you think it's great."

Timothy asked proudly, "Honey, don't you think Molly is excellent? Who can outtalk her? Who's as good as Molly?"

Ellie didn't need comparisons; to her, Molly was the best.

Ellie said, "Alright, we still have to deliver food to them tonight. Let's go back early."

Molly claimed that when Ellie came to deliver food, she could take good care of Sebastian. So, when Ellie came at six, Molly was no longer sleeping on Sebastian's bed.

She was kneeling behind Sebastian, unfastening his neck brace, gently massaging him while watching a movie on his phone.

Sebastian, helpless, could only hold the phone and watch with her.

Ellie asked, "Why are you making Sebastian serve you again?"

"This is me serving Sebastian. I'm massaging him." Because of Sebastian's kind lie at noon, Molly thought her massage skills were really good, so she had been massaging Sebastian's neck for over forty minutes in the afternoon. Sebastian had also been holding the phone for her for over forty minutes.

Molly took the phone, paused the movie, and put it in her pocket. She took the neck brace from the table and put it back on Sebastian.

Then she got off the bed to take the lunchbox Ellie was carrying.

Molly asked, "Mom, have you eaten?"

Ellie replied, "I have."

"What about Dad?"

Ellie said, "He took Zoey and Max to the park. He'll be here soon."

Ellie picked up a water glass from the table and headed out to fetch some water for Sebastian. Moments later, Timothy arrived and saw Molly and Sebastian enjoying their meal. He asked, "How's the food?" Molly took a bite of the steak. "Dad, this is definitely your cooking."

Timothy couldn't help but laugh. "You can tell?"

"No, it's because you love mushroom sauce on steak."

Timothy was speechless.

"But I just love steak with mushroom sauce." Molly took another bite.

Timothy laughed again. When Ellie came back, he was still bragging that Molly figured out he cooked the meal.

While they were eating, Sam called. Sebastian put down his bowl and went aside to answer, "What's up?"

Sam said, "Sebastian, the lead on your hit-and-run case has gone cold."

In other words, it became a cold case.

Sebastian knew the perpetrator was deliberate and elusive, leaving no trace as he had worn a mask and gloves during the incident.

Sebastian said, "Send me a backup of the video from when the incident happened."
