Molly gasped, as she had not been aware all this time that she had slept on Sean's lap for so long.Even though the two of them had more interactions and had some physical contact that was no longer as awkward as before, he was still a patient.Molly felt bad for that. She came closer and asked with concern, "Is your leg okay?" 'If you feel tired, you should've woken me up. Why didn't you? It's not like you're that stupid.'Sean looked at her with bated breath and froze for half a minute as she came close. He saw the concern in her eyes, which was very unadulterated like a clear lake, reflecting his own face.As they looked at each other, Sean lost control of himself. His heart was racing. "It's only a little trouble." Her scent filled the surrounding air, and he found her smell indescribably good and even alluring. He stared at Molly, speaking very slowly as he tried to get the scent deep into his bones and engraved it in his soul. "But, it's okay. I can't walk anyway."Molly had
"You're going to get it if you don't stop spitting," Sawyer spoke and warned him coldly. He clearly felt very uncomfortable with all that saliva on his hand.That was the hand he used to draw! Molly did not let what happened to bother her as she massaged Sean for a while. After she was done with it, she stood up and said, "I'm going upstairs to take a look at Claudia. Her fever should be getting better by now.""I'll go with you."Claudia was feeling thirsty. She looked at the cup of water, and she was about to reach for it.Suddenly, a hand as white as snow appeared and gave her that cup of water.Claudia looked over, and her eyes brightened. "Mommy!"Claudia did not even want to drink the water anymore as she threw herself into Molly's arms. She said while snugging up to Molly, "Mommy, why did you wake up so early?"Molly embraced Claudia and hugged her as she gently said, "Have some water first."Molly thought that Claudia was getting better after seeing how active she w
Molly stayed at home to accompany Claudia. She looked at Claudia and said, "You have to tell me right away if you're not feeling well, okay?"Claudia was drawing while holding her head down. She nodded obediently. "Okay, mommy."After lunch.Molly tested Claudia's body temperature again. She wanted to make sure that Claudia was fine before she left the house. Then, she went to the research laboratory.Molly parked her car before pressing her car key. "Beep-beep." She locked her car and walked toward the research laboratory. Then, she heard some noises coming from inside.She looked at the screen at the door and went inside after going through the facial recognition scanner. Molly could distinctly recognize Sharon's voice among the noisy crowd.She lifted her brows and walked forward. She calmly went to the location where the noise was coming from. Then, she asked while looking at the people circling around, "What happened?"Most of the people stopped talking after hearing Moll
Molly broke the silence and spoke to the person beside her, "Cailyn, check the cameras." She took it very seriously, and she was not planning to give Sharon any special treatment!Sharon did not expect Molly would be so vigorous. She watched Caitlyn walk away as she clenched her fists, and her palms were drenched with sweat.It did not take long for Caitlyn to check the cameras. Molly was the only person in charge of the research laboratory, so they did not have to through any complicated procedures to do so. After a while, Caitlyn returned, and she threw Sharon an indescribable look before handing the recording to Molly.Molly did not say anything and played the recording in front of everybody.It turned out that Sharon lied."What do you have to say now?" Molly looked at her emotionlessly.Sharon had already prepared herself and knew that she would get caught, but she could not help but explain herself after she heard what Molly said, "I'm sorry. I made a mistake."He put th
Molly was no exception. She rubbed her sore eyes and went to the restroom to get changed. It was then she realized that she had unread text messages on her phone. It was from Sean. "Are you still working?"Are there a lot of things to do in the lab today?" Molly did not expect Sean would notice that she was still working because she had not gone back home yet.She received another text message when she was reading it. "It's already one in the morning. Why are you not home yet? Are you okay?"Sean texted Molly again. Molly was surprised to find out that Sean was still awake. She looked at the time and it was already late.Molly replied briefly as she did not want Sean to wait for her any longer."Yeah. I was a little busy today. Only now, I saw your message, and I just finished my work."Molly sent the text without mentioning that Sharon was the reason everybody had to work overtime. Sean sent her a reply after she changed her clothes."Are you coming back tonight?
"It's not. Ms. Newman, please take a cab instead." Sean rejected her without hesitating.Tony stepped on the pedal and left Sharon behind after hearing what his boss said.He regretted it the moment he stopped the car. He would not have deaccelerated, and he would go right past that person if he knew that it was Sharon.'How could I allow that woman to affect my boss's mood?'I have to make sure that nothing goes wrong with my year-end bonus.'Tony could not help but glance at the rear-view mirror. Then, he looked forward grumpily and focused back on driving.It was already midnight, and the road was serene and empty. They passed through the dark forests. Traveling at night would make people feel strange and the tires rolling against the road was the only sound that could be heard.The windows on both sides were completely shut. Tony turned on the heater and isolated themselves from the cold and desolate forest.Molly felt like she was looking at another world from inside the
The supper was a bowl of soup noodles. It was bland and non-oily. To Molly who worked overtime, a simple bowl of soup noodles was a delicious meal to her. It excited her appetite. She finished the soup and noodles very quickly.After supper, Molly did not stay at Sean's place any longer. She wanted Sean to rest early. So, she went back to her home. Recently, the Anderson Corporation's social engagements increased. Although Sean did not need to go to those social engagements personally, he was still very busy because of that. He did not even have the time to have a meal with Molly. Tony was also very busy because of Sean. He took a document from the marketing department for Sean to sign. He also had some information for Sean. "I heard that there'll be a banquet at the Anderson residence. It's probably for your father's birthday. Mrs. Anderson has already sent out the invitation." Tony glanced at Sean.Sean's expression did not change. He simply said, "Help me to prepare a birthd
Alice was not happy when she heard what Ricky said. "Look at who he likes. She was an unwed pregnant lady who no one wanted. She has 3 kids to take care of alone. It'd be a scandal for whichever family this kind of woman is married into. Our son is so excellent. How can he settle for this kind of woman?"Moreover, do you think Mr. Anderson Sr. would allow them to get married? When you weren't here that day, that little brat even said it would be fine to let the woman's kids inherit everything from the Anderson Corporation!"Do you think he should say such a thing? Mr. Anderson Sr. will kill Sean with his crutch if he knows about that. Everyone from the Anderson family will nag him. No one from the Anderson family will agree to this kind of thing!"Alice would be unhappy whenever she talked about that.Ricky started to reflect on it as he heard what his wife said.As an Anderson, he knew better than anyone about the Anderson family's rules.If Sean really wanted to marry that wo
