Chapter 339 Will You Marry Me in the Future?
Molly shook her head. "I'm definitely heading home. I just got too engrossed in the game and lost track of time." Sebastian smirked. "Go get lost in the game world, then."
Molly hugged Sebastian. "No way, there's no Sebastian in the game. Wherever my beloved Sebastian is, that's where I'll be."
Everyone inside the house heard that Sebastian from Zandonick's financial investigation team was at the door "punishing" Molly.
They all came out in the hope that they might do something to ease the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, they witnessed Molly embracing Sebastian and showering him with affectionate words..
"Sebastian, I didn't get into trouble today, I just came home a bit late. I didn't cause you any problems, so don't scold me. Molly loves you the most. Don't be mad; when you're mad, I get scared." Sebastian couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Let go!"
Molly said, "I'll let go if you don't hit me." She was always like this, adept at playing the rogue.
Sebastian glared at her without saying a word.
Molly, scared, let go of him herself. When Sebastian raised his hand to hit her, she quickly ran to the passenger seat and sat down.
Sebastian raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and then lowered it.
Alan walked up to Sebastian and extended his hand. "Hello, Mr. Chase, I'm Alan."
Sebastian looked at Alan hostilely and did not shake his hand. "Mr. Miller, it's best if you stay away from Molly in the future."
Alan looked at Sebastian, who was about the same age as him and tried to overpower him with his presence. However, Sebastian's authoritative aura made Alan hesitate.
Alan said, "Mr. Chase, I want to pursue Molly."
Sebastian bluntly said, "You and your family are not good enough for her!"
With that, he turned around, got into the car, and drove away in reverse down the hill in front of everyone.
Alan watched Sebastian's car disappear, frowning. Sebastian had investigated him!
Halfway down, Sebastian raised his hand to hit the disobedient Molly beside him. Molly shrank her shoulders in fear.
Sebastian glanced at the frightened Molly beside him, and his raised hand lowered again. He couldn't bring himself to hit her, and the anger stayed within him.
Molly glanced at the furious Sebastian beside her, bit her lower lip, and after a moment of silence, spoke softly, "Mom slept with me last night and talked about us." "Speak louder. I can't hear you," Sebastian scolded her angrily.
Molly pursed her lips and then said loudly, "Mom said our relationship is too close, not like siblings, more like you're my boyfriend."
"She was afraid my feelings for you would turn into love, so she told me to participate in more activities and meet more people. Mom doesn't want me to always be with someone I'm related to; she wants me to make friends with people who aren't related to me."
"If someone pursues me, I shouldn't reject them immediately. I should get to know them first and see if we're compatible. That's why I agreed to Alan's invitation today."
After she finished speaking, there was a hint of defiance in Molly's words.
Sebastian was silent.
He stopped the car halfway, pulled over, and turned off the engine. Sebastian turned to look at Molly beside him, "So you knew Alan was interested in you before you agreed to his invitation?" Molly could hear the anger in Sebastian's voice rising. She glanced at the furious Sebastian beside her and said softly, "I wasn't sure, but I confirmed it today."
Sebastian pounded the steering wheel, turning to Molly. "What do you think?" If she dared to say she liked Alan, he'd kick her out of the car right then and there. Molly licked her lips. "I thought he was okay at first."
"Get out!" Sebastian's jealousy flared.
Molly frowned. "Listen, at first he was gentlemanly and respectful, but then he presumptuously answered my phone, and I instantly lost interest."
Sebastian unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and opened the passenger door. "Get out and let Alan pick you up. My car can't accommodate you anymore."
"No." Molly clung to the seatbelt. "I want to ride with the person I love the most."
Sebastian's voice softened, but his eyes were hard. "But you have feelings for Alan, don't you?"
"But you're the person I love the most in the whole world," Molly said, looking into his eyes. Seizing the moment, Sebastian asked, "If you love me the most, will you marry me in the future?" Molly didn't hesitate. "But you're my brother."
"I'm not your real brother! And you're not my real sister!" Sebastian's heart raced as he shouted.
Seeing Molly's stunned expression, only Sebastian knew how tightly his hand was clenched. He was overwhelmed by tension, unease, worry, and fear, all of these emotions flooding his heart. Molly stared blankly at him, as if a door in her mind, always locked, was suddenly being forcefully opened by his words.
Could it be that Sebastian didn't want her to be his sister anymore?
She didn't dare to speak, even feeling a bit scared.
Sebastian couldn't see her face. After waiting for a long time without a response, he forcefully closed the door.
Molly lowered her head, feeling wronged and sour inside.
No wonder Vera would cry out of grievance.
Outside, Sebastian was calmed by the night breeze. He turned around and looked through the window at Molly, who had her head down. He got back in the car and rolled down the window.
In a deep voice, he said, "Alan is not a good person. You can't be with someone like him."
"When he was overseas, he had a girlfriend named Abigail Butler. Because Abigail's religious beliefs were different from his family's, Dawn thought Abigail wasn't good enough for Alan and made them break up. Abigail's reputation was ruined, and she even transferred schools because of it."
Molly looked up at Sebastian in shock.
Sebastian continued, "Jesse has another family outside. He has a mistress and an illegitimate daughter, who is only two years younger than you."
"His family is too complicated. If you really want to get married, he and his family are completely unworthy of you."
"Moreover, his family is a ticking time bomb. Dawn has a bad reputation and poor character. Jesse is a playboy with no sense of responsibility. They're all like that. Alan could even abandon Abigail, so he's not a good person either." "Getting a PhD isn't that hard. Don't put him on a pedestal. Broaden your horizons. You're still young, and you can't be blind when it comes to relationships."
Sebastian started the car, but instead of driving forward, he kept his foot on the brake.
Turning his head, he saw Molly's red eyes. "Why are you crying?"
Molly replied, "You don't like me anymore."
