Chapter 455 Boring Molly
Ellie immediately jumped up. "What's so important that it can't be discussed in the living room? I want to hear too."
Molly tilted her head, curious. "Yeah, Sebastian, why do we have to go to the bedroom? Sounds pretty suggestive."
Sebastian was getting frustrated. He even wondered if he should have a word with Patrick about Molly and Vera's irritating habits-who was influencing whom. Sebastian snorted, "Since you don't want to go to the bedroom, then go outside and wash my car."
On Molly's first day after quitting her job, Sebastian dragged her out to wash his car.
Turning on the faucet, Sebastian used the cool water from the hose to spray Molly's legs under her nightgown and her feet in slippers.
"What happened with you and Alan while I was away?"
Mentioning Alan made Molly furious. "Sebastian, Alan touched my breast."
Sebastian's grip tightened, his eyes darkening with anger. "Tell me exactly what happened."
Molly went up to Sebastian, gesturing as she recounted the day's events, "Dawn was blocking the way, so Alan tried to stop me. But his hands were all over my chest. Look, Sebastian, he grabbed me like this-so disgusting." "Did you stab him with a knife?" Sebastian gritted his teeth, his knuckles cracking.
Molly said aggrievedly, "I left my bag in the office, but I slapped him. Still, I don't feel satisfied."
Sebastian turned off the faucet and looked at Molly. "I'll make sure you feel satisfied."
Then, Sebastian taught Molly. "If someone harasses you, self-defense is Ilegal."
Molly said, "I'm afraid of overdoing it."
Sebastian replied, "You're just a little girl; how could you 'overdo' it?"
Molly didn't understand what he meant. When she wanted to ask, Sebastian had already returned to the living room.
Molly stood in a puddle of water at her feet, wearing a green nightgown with water droplets on her legs. The sun beamed down, creating a faint shimmer that made her resemble a fairy.
She shouted, "Sebastian, do you still want me to wash your car?"
No response.
Molly looked at the hose, murmuring, "He didn't say anything, so I guess I don't have to wash it, right? I'm not washing it then."
Then she ran back to the living room.
In the afternoon, Molly called Vera, happily sharing the news of Sebastian's return.
Molly asked, "Vera, let me ask you something. Do you forget what happens after you drink?"
Vera thought of her embarrassing moments, saying, "I want to forget, but I can't!"
Vera then asked, "And you?"
Molly replied, "I don't remember."
They both envied each other.
Meanwhile, Alan was attacked while in detention. No one knew exactly what happened, but he was carried out with a broken arm.
Patrick found out and called Sebastian, "What did Molly complain to you about this time to make you so angry?"
Sebastian said, "She told me something I couldn't tolerate."
Sebastian then got to the point. "Dennis is being transferred to court next week. Are you going to attend?" "Yes."
Sebastian added, "Jeffrey is still being hunted, no news yet."
Patrick said, "Start investigating from the unregistered clinics."
"What?" Sebastian was puzzled for a moment. Then he remembered that Emily had left while pregnant too. Pregnant women need regular check-ups, and since they couldn't go to reputable hospitals, they had to rely on those small, unregistered clinics.
Sebastian nodded. "Thank you."
With Sebastian back, Molly no longer stayed at the Olteran Manor. She used to be busy with work, but now that she was suddenly free, she wasn't accustomed to it.
So, Molly chose to go to the police station.
Sebastian had a headache. "Why are you here again?"
"Sebastian, I need to pay my tuition."
Sebastian said, "My bank card is with you. Can't you pay it yourself?"
Molly said without blinking, "I can't."
Sebastian asked, "Can you eat?"
Molly replied, "That I can do."
Sebastian was speechless.
Molly complained, "Sebastian, if you don't go with me to pay my tuition, I'll be expelled. You also said you'd take me out during summer break, but you're always busy with work. I haven't seen you for days. I miss you so much, but you don't miss me at all."
"Alright, stop bothering me. Give me five minutes to change, and I'll go to the bank with you."
Sebastian compromised, changed his clothes, and went out with Molly hanging on his arm.
Looking at Sebastian's new car, Molly felt like she had seen it when she was drunk. "Sebastian, did I throw up in your car?"
Sebastian turned on the car's air conditioning and looked at Molly beside him. "Did you really forget those things?"
Molly frowned. "I really forgot, but I feel like I kissed you, and you said I didn't. But I also remember throwing up in your car, and you were about to leave me by the roadside."
Sebastian looked at Molly. "When did I ever say I'd ditch you?"
Molly pieced together her fragmented memories into a story she thought sounded quite real. "You saw me totally plastered and decided to chop my legs off. Then you couldn't go through with it because you thought I was too cute, so you just tossed me into the backseat. After I threw up in your car, you got disgusted and tried to drag me out, planning to leave me on the side of the road. I was so scared you'd leave me that I kissed you, but you found me gross and were about to dump me on the pavement."
"You can shut up now."
Molly said, "I'm not done yet."
Sebastian replied, "The ending doesn't matter anymore."
Sebastian took her to the bank to pay her tuition. Molly suddenly said pitifully, "Sebastian, school is starting, and I haven't bought new clothes. Vera has new clothes, but I don't."
At the mall, Molly clung to Sebastian's arm. Anyone who saw them would think they were a couple out shopping.
Sebastian asked, "What will you do after school starts?"
Molly summed it up perfectly. "I'm not going to date, flirt, or even look at men."
Sebastian was very satisfied. "What if someone pursues you?"
Molly answered, "I'll tell you."
Sebastian was helpless.
"Sebastian, did you hit Alan?"
To maintain his perfect image in Molly's eyes, Sebastian said, "I'm a law enforcement officer. I don't lay a hand on anyone."
"I don't believe it," Molly said.
She had been harassed by Alan, and given Sebastian's fondness for her, it would be surprising if he hadn't chopped off Alan's hand.
Sebastian held her hand, a doting smile on his lips. He strolled leisurely as if he were shopping with his wife. "There was just a riot during detention, and he got injured by mistake." Molly said, "I love this 'riot.""
Sebastian looked at her sideways. "Say it more clearly."
"I love you."
