The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride -
Chapter 554 Proposal
Sebastian was practically flying to the Olteran Mansion, not wasting a single second.
When he got there, the living room was a madhouse, with everyone crowding around a fuming Shawn.
Molly was the only one standing, flailing her arms like crazy, "No, seriously, I didn't mean it like that. I just saw some old folks dancing and thought it was good for their health and mood, so I signed Shawn up for a class too. But I didn't mean for him to find a partner. If I tried to set him up, Savannah would come back and kill me." Molly explained, looking pale as a ghost.
Vincent looked like he had a stick up his butt, and Patrick was all doom and gloom.
Vera, holding Theodore, gave Molly a secret thumbs up, and Randall silently clapped. "Mia, you're a legend."
Sebastian suddenly got why Shawn was losing his mind.
When Shawn spotted Sebastian, he pointed at Molly and yelled, "I don't want her around anymore, you hear me? Keep her out of my sight!"
Sebastian wasn't about to let this chance slip. He stepped up and grabbed Molly's hand, "Shawn, the gifts are on their way."
Seeing Molly about to push Shawn over the edge, Vincent also chimed in, "Sebastian, get Molly out of here, quick."
Molly, still being dragged by Sebastian, kept waving her arms and trying to explain, "No, Vincent, I swear I didn't mean it. I wasn't trying to find us a stepmom. I really didn't want Shawn to betray Savannah!" Sebastian quickly dialed the Chase family on his phone, "Where's my ID? I can't get a marriage certificate without it."
In the chaos of the Olteran family, no one heard Sebastian's question.
Even little Teddy, who had been hanging out with Vera during the commotion, knew his house was a circus right now.
So, he skipped his nap and was held upright in Vera's arms, his little face straining to see the action.
He didn't get what was going on, but he was totally into it.
Vera saw Theodore's bright eyes glued to the drama and patted his back, "You want in on everything, huh? Just chill in mommy's arms and sleep."
As soon as Vera laid him down, he started throwing a fit, waving his arms and turning red, ready to cry because he couldn't see the show.
Vera quickly picked up the fussy Theodore again, letting him keep watching.
Sure enough, Theodore calmed down once he was back up.
With her arms free, Vera rushed over to Shawn to try and calm him down. "Dad, don't blow a gasket."
Molly, all hunched over and scared, whispered, "I said I'd set you up with someone, but I was just messing with you."
"You dare say that!" Shawn lunged forward, ready to smack Molly.
Sebastian jumped in, using his body as a shield for Molly.
Vera and Cindy each grabbed one of Shawn's arms, and Sebastian kept protecting Molly, "Shawn, chill out. I'll take Molly away today so she won't bug you anymore."
But Sebastian couldn't just leave; he had to make sure he could marry Molly!
Theodore kept making little noises, and Patrick looked at the curious kid in his arms, whose eyes were just like Vera's!
Sebastian's message was urgent, but the Chase family moved fast.
When Ellie and Timothy showed up, they didn't bring much, just a couple of folders and Ellie had two extra bank cards.
"Shawn, we came in a rush. Here's a provisional list of gifts. You can hold onto it for now; they'll be delivered by car this afternoon." Timothy pulled out a small red booklet, packed with jewelry, gold, silver, and antiques, all for Molly. Ellie also handed over a folder, "Here are the gifts I've saved for Molly over the years. Twelve shops downtown, an office building, a hundred million dollars in cash, three boxes of gold bars, and company shares, all for Molly. Please accept them."
Patrick tried to calm Shawn down, "Dad, go rest." Don't accept it! Accepting it means you're okay with this marriage!
Vera, standing nearby, rolled her eyes, "Dad, don't accept it. If you do, Molly won't be able to stay and bug you." Sure enough, Shawn fell for Vera's trick, taking the lists and folders from Ellie and Timothy.
He was fuming, breathing heavily.
After he accepted, the Chase family members all let out a sigh of relief. A smile crept onto Sebastian's face.
Patrick frowned, glaring at Vera, who had deliberately contradicted him.
If it weren't for her words, Shawn wouldn't have impulsively accepted the gifts.
"Shawn, please rest. We'll take Molly away now. She won't show up again, so calm down. We're outta here." Ellie didn't waste a second. Besides, the vibe in the Olteran family was way off today. They took advantage of Shawn's momentary distraction to make a quick exit.
Molly, not wanting to go, was dragged out of the Olteran Mansion by Sebastian holding her hand on one side and Ellie holding her shoulder on the other.
As they left, Molly kept apologizing, "Sorry, Shawn. Chill out. I'll be back."
Cindy saw the Chase family off.
Theodore, in Patrick's arms, looked around curiously, squirming in Patrick's embrace.
