The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Chapter 317 It's My Responsibility



"Honey, I'm not hungry, but I'm craving food. When I close my eyes, all I can think about is the food at Rustic Hearth Cafe." She expressed her craving pitifully.

Patrick sat up in bed and said, "It's 2 AM. Rustic Hearth Cafe is closed."

Vera nodded. "Honey, why don't you hypnotize me?"

Patrick thought to himself that he didn't have that ability.

Patrick got up and went out for a bit. When he went out for a bit, and when he came back, he opened the closet and took out some clothes for Vera to change into. "Rustic Hearth Cafe is now open." At 2 AM, Rustic Hearth Cafe was open just for one person, Vera.

Even at this hour, Patrick still had the demeanor of a business tycoon. When they arrived, the manager and six staff members were waiting at the door.

Vera sat in the dining hall, leaning slightly on the table, sipping soup from a bowl with four dishes she wanted to eat in front of her.

The six staff members stood by, bringing the dishes as they were prepared.

Patrick wore a dark gray shirt and a black suit jacket. He sat across from Vera, legs crossed, leaning back on the wooden chair, watching her.

Vera felt a bit embarrassed.

She had just casually mentioned it, but Patrick took it to heart and really brought her here in the middle of the night.

Vera ate seriously while everyone watched.

Patrick instructed the manager, "All of you can leave now."

The manager glanced at Patrick and understood his meaning. "Yes, Mr. Olteran and Mrs. Olteran, enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just let me know." The manager left with his subordinates, and Vera finally sighed in relief. "Honey, don't spoil me like this. What if I get spoiled?"

Patrick chuckled softly, sat up straight, and used a fork to pick up some food for Vera. "If you get spoiled, it's my responsibility." After this, Patrick realized that Vera would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep well without eating something.

Later, the Olteran family chef would get up at night to prepare snacks for Vera.

Molly also went back to the Chase family for the weekend. One day, she woke up feeling hot.

Outside, the leaves were lush and green, and the birds were chirping. Summer had arrived.

Many classmates were wearing short sleeves and long skirts.

Molly looked at the temperature on her phone and thought of Vera sweating during class. She suddenly sat up, took a shower, and took a cab to find Sebastian.

She hadn't shown up for a while, and when she did, everyone at the police station acted like they were seeing a long-lost relative. "Molly, are you in a relationship? You haven't come to hang out with us lately."

Molly retorted, "Who would dare to date Mr. Chase's sister? They haven't even confessed, and Mr. Chase would dig up their entire background."

Sebastian listened to Molly's complaints without getting angry, always smiling. He instructed a subordinate, "Go to the bank and investigate this company's transactions. Categorize the suspicious accounts and trace them." "Yes, Mr. Chase." The subordinate took the order and left. Sebastian looked at Molly, who was still sleeping when he left in the morning.

Sebastian asked, "Had enough sleep? What brings you here?"

Molly clung to Sebastian's arm. "Sebastian, come shopping with me."

"I'm busy. Go with Mom."

"No way, Mom and I have different tastes. We always argue when we shop. You come with me, and you pay for whatever I like."

In Molly's eyes, Sebastian was the one who interrupted her love life, the one who cleaned up messes, and the one who paid the bill! Sebastian said, "Here's my card. Go shopping by yourself."

"That's so sad. Someone goes shopping with their boyfriends or friends. I'd be all alone, and they would stare at me." Molly pouted. She added, "Vera is pregnant. If I drag her shopping, Patrick would kill me. Unless you find me a boyfriend, you have to come with me." Sebastian sighed, "Sit over there and wait until I get off work."

"Got it!" Molly, having gotten her way, ran off to play.

After a while, she wandered off somewhere else.

When Sebastian got off work, he couldn't find Molly.

"Has anyone seen Molly?"

Everyone shook their heads, "Haven't seen her for a while."

Finally, Sebastian found his "missing sister" in the criminal investigation team with Makayla.

Makayla teased when she saw Sebastian looking for Molly. "Mr. Chase, with a Molly around, you'll never find a wife."

Molly curiously asked, "Why?"

"Because Sebastian's attention is all on you. There's no room for anyone else."

Before Molly could respond, Sebastian pushed her out of Makayla's office.

Under the watchful eyes of the police officers, Sebastian herded the wandering Molly into the car.

She had waited at the police station for two hours to have him accompany her to buy maternity clothes!

Sebastian said, "I'm not paying for this. If you're buying clothes for Vera, use your own money."

Molly frowned. "Sebastian, these clothes are expensive. I can't bear to spend that much."

Sebastian said, "My money is only for you. If you were pregnant, I'd buy out the whole store for you. For Vera's clothes, use Patrick's money."

Sebastian's words left Molly unable to be angry.

After all this fuss, it was just Sebastian's psychological cleanliness. She laughed and called him, "You're such a cheapskate."

When they went to pay, the sales assistant mistook their relationship, thinking Molly and Sebastian were a couple. The assistant even asked, "How many months along is your baby?" Sebastian later waited outside by the railing while Molly shopped.

After hearing so many comments, Molly suddenly realized that her relationship with Sebastian was a bit too close.

Some people thought she was Sebastian's girlfriend, some called her sister-in-law, mistaking her for Sebastian's wife, and some even thought she was the mother of Sebastian's child. Makayla also said that with her around, Sebastian couldn't find a girlfriend.

Molly looked at Sebastian's back, feeling very conflicted. "I'm not pregnant; Vera is. That man just now is my brother." After saying that, Molly walked out with her bags.

Sebastian naturally took the shopping bags from Molly and held her hand as they walked to the women's clothing section. As girls grew up, they needed to avoid their fathers and brothers, but Molly only avoided her father, not her brother. "Sebastian, let me find a boyfriend. Then he can do these things with me, and you can focus on your work." Sebastian replied, "You're too young to have a boyfriend. I haven't even found a girlfriend yet. What's the rush?"

Molly didn't hold back and said bluntly, "But when I'm with you, everyone thinks we're a couple."

"Just think of it as helping me avoid relationships. I won't look for a girlfriend until I'm 30."

Molly calculated the time and exclaimed in frustration, "Do you mean that I can't date until I'm 25?"

"Do you want to date?"

Molly nodded. "Vera is about to become a mom, and I don't even have a boyfriend."

Sebastian replied, "You have a brother; she doesn't."
