The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Sebastian waited until Molly's voice faded from the doorway before unbuttoning his shirt and heading to the bathroom for a shower.

The next morning, Sebastian planned to leave at nine, but since he was waiting for Molly, they didn't get going until ten.

At 9:00 AM, Ellie pointed at Molly, who appeared to be drowsy and said to Sebastian, "You can go by yourself. She will be there later. Look at her. She's not even close to ready. Don't wait for her." Sebastian stood in the living room, hands on his hips, frowning, urging Molly to hurry up.

When they finally got in the car, Molly was hungry again.

She looked at Sebastian and said sheepishly, "Sebastian, I didn't realize going out would be such a hassle."

Sebastian replied, "If you had gotten up an hour earlier, we could've left on time, and you could've had breakfast."

He drove off, ignoring Molly's hunger.

Molly picked up Sebastian's water bottle from the car, intending to drink.

Sebastian kept his eyes on the road but accurately grabbed her wrist with his right hand. "Put it down. The water's too cold." Molly said, "But I'm hungry."

The car stopped at a pastry shop. "Go buy something to eat."

Molly quickly got out and ran inside.

A short while later, she came out leisurely, eating a sandwich and drinking milk.

When she got to the car, she realized she had no free hand to open the door, with milk in one hand and a sandwich in the other.

She looked at Sebastian with pleading eyes. Exasperated, Sebastian got out, opened the door, and helped her into the car.

He swore that if he had the chance to choose again, he would never take Molly out.

If he hadn't been worried about her getting another invitation from Alan, he wouldn't have waited for her this morning.

By the time they reached the hospital, Molly had finished her breakfast. Before getting out of the car, she opened the sun visor on the passenger side, pulled out the mirror, and touched up her makeup. Sebastian glanced at his watch. It was almost 11:00 AM.

He held back his anger, looking at Molly, wanting to say something but unable to.

Finally, Molly picked up a gift box, and Sebastian locked the car and led her upstairs. Molly, always good at making excuses, said, "Sebastian, I think this is the perfect time to come."

"If we came earlier, the doctors would be doing rounds, and the nurses would be busy treating the kid. We would just be in the way. Plus, we won't be here long, and we wouldn't have anywhere to go afterward." "This timing is perfect, just before lunch. The doctors and nurses aren't busy, and David and Kennedy are free. After we see the baby, you can take me out for a nice meal."

Sebastian looked at Molly's smiling face and held back his temper. It was his own fault for indulging her. He proposed to take her with him, so he had to bear the consequences. Sebastian asked, "Which restaurant?"

Molly replied, "The new seafood buffet on Pinecrest Avenue, it's not so expensive, $99 per person."

Sebastian was speechless.

At the hospital, Sebastian asked a nurse for the child's room.

They walked over together.

On the way, Sebastian told Molly, "David's son was born just before Christmas, named Luke. I even covered a shift for David during Christmas."

Molly remembered everything involving Sebastian. Luke was less than six months old when they arrived at the hospital room.

David stood up, surprised and delighted. "Good morning, Mr. Chase."

Sebastian and Molly put down the gifts. Molly glanced at the tiny, sleeping Luke on the bed and wondered if Vera's baby would be like this. Sebastian said, "I brought Molly to see Luke."

Molly went over to David's wife, Kennedy Gonzales, and softly asked, "Kennedy, how is Luke?"

Kennedy looked at Luke, her heart aching. "He just had blood drawn this morning. He's so small, and they need to find the cause of his illness."

Molly walked over and gently touched Luke. Seeing the IV in the baby's head made her heart ache.

"Where's Piper?" Molly asked.

"At home, being taken care of by her grandmother. Molly, you didn't have to come," Kennedy replied.

Molly shook her head. "We had to. Sebastian wanted to come as soon as he found out yesterday. We were worried you'd be busy this morning, so we came a bit later."

Sebastian said nothing.

After a while, Luke woke up. Kennedy picked him up and pointed to the bed. "Molly, there aren't enough chairs here. You can sit on the bed."

Molly didn't hesitate. She looked at the baby in Kennedy's arms. The baby's crying was subsiding, and Molly suddenly had an urge to hold him. "Kennedy, I want to hold Luke. I've never held a baby before."

Sebastian said, "You'd better not. You might drop him."

Molly awkwardly withdrew her hands, but her eyes showed she really wanted to hold the baby.

Kennedy noticed and smiled. "Girls have a natural maternal instinct. Molly won't drop the baby."

She stood up with the sleeping Luke. "Molly, come on, try holding him."

Molly immediately reached out. It was her first time holding a baby, and it made Sebastian's heart race.

He quickly went to Molly's side, his hands ready to support from below.

Molly held Luke in her arms, and the baby's softness melted her heart instantly. "He's so lovely."

Sebastian's hands were supporting from below. "You've held him, now put him back on the bed so he can sleep."

Molly refused. She stood facing Sebastian, the sunlight streaming in from the window, casting a glow on her. Her hair shimmered slightly in the light, and she was enveloped in a warm glow. Molly looked down at Luke and smiled, then looked up at Sebastian and smiled.

Sebastian couldn't help but smile back, infected by her joy.

The sunlight also shone on Luke's eyes, and he squirmed in Molly's arms, slowly blinking and looking like he was about to cry.

Molly quickly handed Luke back to Kennedy.

"I know how to hold a baby now. Vera definitely won't be as good as me," Molly said to Sebastian.

When it was time for lunch, Kennedy and David wanted to treat Molly and Sebastian to a meal.

Sebastian declined, holding Molly's wrist, and said to David, "We already have food prepared at home. You stay here and help Kennedy take care of Luke. I'll take Molly and leave now."
