The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 523 Sebastian's Threat

Sebastian kept pushing, "So, why'd you snap a pic with my trench coat after your shower and say you wanted to crash with me?"

"That was all a joke! I hung it on a hanger, pretending it was you. The coat was barely in the frame," Molly shot back, all worked up.

Sebastian got it was a mix-up and said, "You think anyone's buying that? If I tell Mom and Dad the hair on the pillow's mine, the PJs in the morning were mine, we shared a bed at noon, and we just hooked up, who do you think they'll believe?" Molly felt so dumb she wanted to bite her tongue.

"Say whatever, I'm not marrying you," Molly snapped.

She turned her face away, refusing to look at Sebastian who was all up in her space.

Sebastian hit a wall and asked, "So, should Abby marry me then?"

"No freaking way!" Molly whipped her head back, glaring daggers at him.

Sebastian grinned, "Then who's gonna marry me?"

Molly took a deep breath, "Stay single for all I care."

She suddenly realized Sebastian was still on top of her, "Sebastian, get off me. Or I'll report you for sexual harassment."

"Got any proof?" Sebastian smirked, totally unfazed.

Molly opened her mouth but saw her phone was out of reach and her hands were pinned.

"Sebastian!" she yelled, her voice full of rage.

Sebastian saw Molly's eyes blazing with anger and couldn't hold her gaze. He rolled off and lay beside her. Molly quickly scrambled out of bed and hid under the covers.

She was so flustered she didn't know what to say. At the foot of the bed lay Sebastian. She glanced at him sideways, "What happened to your face?" Sebastian said, "Dad hit me."

"Serves you right," Molly said, zero sympathy. "If I were there, I'd slap you twice."

Molly sat on the bed, glaring at Sebastian, fuming. She threw off the covers and got out of bed. Soon, sounds came from the bathroom.

Then, Molly tossed a wet, cold towel on Sebastian's face, "No ice here, use this to cool your face. Don't embarrass yourself at work tomorrow." Sebastian said nothing. The towel's chill eased his swollen cheek a bit. He smiled slightly.

Molly saw the bag of clothes he brought. She opened it on the bed and found her own intimate clothing inside.

Molly kicked Sebastian's leg, "Sebastian, you did this on purpose."

Feeling Molly's angry kick, Sebastian admitted it.

Molly threw the clothes at him.

"Molly, I've spoiled you for sixteen years. You've caused me plenty of trouble. This time, just do me a favor," Sebastian said.

Molly shot back, "You make it sound like all I've done for the past sixteen years is annoy you."

After saying that, Molly felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed she really had annoyed Sebastian quite a bit since they were kids.

"Even if I have annoyed you for sixteen years, I can't throw my whole life away because of it," Molly added.

Sebastian stayed quiet while Molly waited for his response.

After five minutes of silence, Sebastian still hadn't moved.

Molly quietly knelt on the bed, inching to the foot and gently lifted the towel from Sebastian's face, checking out his closed eyes.

"How can you just fall asleep? What kind of person are you?" She huffed, got off the bed, and headed to the bathroom to wet the towel again with cold water.

On the bed, Sebastian heard the water running and smirked. Soon, the water stopped and his smirk faded.

Molly came back, folded the towel, and placed it on Sebastian's swollen cheek.

She sat on the bed, thinking she still couldn't marry him. She pulled out her phone to call Ellie but suddenly stopped, "By the way, how am I gonna explain this to Mom?"

Sebastian had blocked all of Molly's escape routes. She had stupidly taken a kissing photo to mess with Abby. Abby, being nuts, not only kept it but showed it to Ellie and Timothy. Was she trying to get them to step in and mess with her and Sebastian?

Molly cursed Abby under her breath. She couldn't go back to the Chase family. Luckily, there was still the Olteran family.

Molly was about to change clothes and sneak out in the middle of the night when she realized she couldn't get her robe off.

"So annoying." She had trapped herself in the hotel.

Molly couldn't find scissors, so she went to Sebastian to look for a lighter, planning to burn the robe's tie. As soon as her hand reached Sebastian's pants pocket, he quickly grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?" Sebastian asked.

"Looking for a lighter," Molly replied.

Sebastian glanced at the tie around her waist, "I don't have a lighter."

Molly sat on the bed, frustrated, "Then help me untie this knot."

Sebastian looked at it, "I can't untie it."

"Sebastian," Molly shouted at him.

Sebastian said, "You tied it yourself, right? Even if I had ten hands, I couldn't untie your knot." Molly asked, "Then what should I do?"

Sebastian sat up and Molly instinctively backed away.

Sebastian grabbed the tie around her waist and pulled her back in front of him.

Molly stumbled forward, almost losing her balance, but managed to steady herself by holding onto Sebastian's shoulders.

Sebastian pulled her to the bathroom and Molly reluctantly followed.

Once there, Sebastian took his razor, disassembled it, and took out the blade.

Molly said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

Sebastian glanced at her, then pulled her back to the bed by the tie around her waist. He sat on the edge and Molly stood in front of him.

Sebastian slowly cut the tie with the blade.

Molly held her robe tightly, determined not to let herself be exposed this time.

The room was silent. Molly looked down at the top of Sebastian's head. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke up, "Sebastian, I think you should go back and explain the birthmark to Mom. I'll explain the photo." Sebastian carefully cut the tie and asked, "You don't want to marry me?"

Without thinking, Molly said, "I don't."

After she answered, Sebastian froze. He looked into Molly's clear eyes, then suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Say that again," Sebastian said.

Molly didn't dare look directly into Sebastian's eyes.

Sebastian threatened, "If you don't agree, you won't be able to leave this hotel."
