Sean left Ricky's office after they were done talking. Suddenly, something popped into his mind. He took out his phone and opened his chat with Molly."I'm not going back for dinner tonight." Sean texted Molly.His phone vibrated as soon as he went back to his own office."Okay," Molly replied.He stared at the message for a few seconds before putting his phone away, and he continued working. At night, Ricky called him and told him to get ready to leave.Dinner, Anderson Residence.Everybody sat around the scrumptious delicacies, but the atmosphere did not feel very harmonious as everybody was pulling different ways to remain silent.Mr. Anderson Sr. sat right in the middle. He felt genuinely happy when he saw his son coming with his grandson as he said, "Sean, eat more."Sean nodded and took some food to put on his plate, but he did not start eating. Instead, he said to his grandfather, "Oh, yes. We've already found the lost materials. Everything is being detained in the polic
Micheal was already at a big disadvantage before the dinner was over, so he felt very unhappy. Suddenly, he thought about what Sean did previously before saying to everybody at the table, "Sean, I thought that you were going to get engaged with the heiress of the Noland Family, weren't you?"He raised his voice and all his relatives looked at him. Everybody knew who he was referring to.Sean heard what he said without reacting. 'He's obviously making something out of nothing to mess with me.'"Sean, I heard that you dumped Abigail Noland, whose family is just as rich as ours, for a lady doctor. She appears to be a famous doctor, but... she has three children, right?" Michael pretended to ask those things unwittingly as he put on a confused look.Sean's eyes turned colder. He knew that Michael had been secretly paying attention to his personal life. However, everybody who knew him would know that he did not have any inappropriate relationships with anyone, and he had nothing to hide
It would leave Molly no choice but to distance herself from him again if something went wrong again.Sean was not going to let that happen!He said firmly, "Stop riding on my back."Mr. Anderson Sr. noticed how unhappy and displeased Sean looked. The old man heaved a deep sigh.'Sean really had it hard. Perhaps we really give him too much pressure.'Mr. Anderson Sr. gave in as that went through his mind. He softened his tone and said to Sean, "I'm not going to pressure you if you don't like her, but you've got to find a partner anyway. It's a tradition for the eldest son's first son of the Anderson family to lead the family. This tradition has to keep going, and you can't let Simone replace you even if he's your brother."Mr. Anderson Sr. sounded very firm while he said the last sentence.Sean stopped talking as he did not want to argue and turn things ugly with his grandfather. However, he was not going to listen to anybody else's opinion on this. Nobody could interfere with hi
Ricky knew Sean's character better than Alice."We've got to do something. I care about my son even if you don't!" Alice glared at Ricky.Ricky kept his mouth shut because he knew that he could not persuade her, and he did not want to argue with Alice either.Alice thought to herself. 'What can I do to solve this while making everybody happy?'Suddenly, she said to Ricky, "How about this? Let's arrange some blind dates for our son with other doctors to replace that woman. Sean wouldn't have a problem with it anymore if any of those doctors could treat his legs. He can also cut that woman off as soon as possible too."The more Alice thought about that, the more she felt that it was going to work."You... forget it. Whatever floats your boat."Ricky was about to say something, but he gave that idea up as she thought that Alice would not listen to him anyway after seeing how excited she looked.Sean went back to his house. He saw Molly sitting on the sofa in the living room as soo
Ricky got a text from Tony the next day. He figured that Sean knew what he was trying to do. 'How sharp of him.'No one knew a son better than his own father, and Ricky was no exception. Sean was not a simple person to deal with.Ricky frowned slightly. He had no choice but to do it after Alice told him so. Besides, he did not want the Anderson family's rules to be broken either.He knew that he had to pick a side and give the other up. Ricky pretended to be ignorant as he went to Sean's office personally. He pushed the door opened and went inside.He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"Sean put down the contract in his hands as he looked right into his father at the door before saying, "You should know better about what you were trying to do. Please knock it off."They were just standing on the same side together, but they were fighting among themselves now.That was just how most wealthy families were. They would always put interests first.Ricky walked to his desk and looked at
Alice was not affected by his words. She smiled and said in an unbothered tone, "It's nothing. This is Sharon Newman. She's the new doctor that I got you. She graduated abroad from Fernhurst Medical School. She's also the daughter of one of our clients. I asked her to come over and see if she could be of any help to your condition. The two of us have spoken to Ms. May about this prior to your return."Alice turned to Molly before looking at her son. She seemed as though she was thinking about how the two of them did not suit each other. Then, she smiled.Molly was silent.The truth was, Alice rang her doorbell and said that she wanted to have a chat with her, so Molly did not refuse and followed her over.However, Alice had other intentions. When Molly saw an unfamiliar woman at Sean's house, she realized why Alice went to find her."I heard that Dr. May has amazing skills that can improve my son's condition. However, I thought it would be difficult for you to treat him all by y
"My treatment methods are unique, and they aren't normal needle techniques because normal needle techniques don't work on Mr. Anderson's legs. Otherwise, why would Mr. Anderson seek me?"'I wasn't the one who shamelessly approached Sean,' Molly thought.Even though it seemed as if Molly's words were meant for Sharon, they were actually meant for Alice.Molly understood the situation. Alice's actions today were directed entirely at her.'Is it because I've gotten too close to Sean?' she wondered.Molly frowned in annoyance.She felt disgusted with Alice's actions. This was not Alice's first time picking on her.'Does every woman fancy Sean? Does every woman get close to him to marry into their so-called wealthy family? Hah! I—Molly May—do not care for this so-called wealthy family. It's no big deal. I'll leave then,' she thought to herself.Molly promptly stood up and said to Alice, "If you think that it's inappropriate, and if Mr. Anderson's fine with it, please feel free to do
Molly looked at Sean cool in a cool way.'This gentle-sounding Sean is not the same Sean who chased someone away icily just now. Does his mood change this quickly and easily?' she wondered."No. What's the point?"Molly was still annoyed. However, she wanted to save her pride in front of Sean.She was not going to admit that she got mad from Alice's actions and Sharon's taunts."You are." Sean gazed at Molly deeply as if he were reading her inner thoughts. Molly pursed her lips. She did not want to speak to him anymore. Then, she turned her gaze out of the window.It was Sean's first time seeing Molly look so sulky. He could not help but chuckle.He moved his hand up her wrist and grabbed her hand. Molly's hand seemed exceptionally small in comparison to his large hand.He squeezed the palm of her hand and gently said, "Don't be mad. I've chased her away."His tone sounded as though he was coaxing her.The tip of Molly's ears turned crimson. Even though the unfamiliar touch
