Even though she was just his son's secretary, everybody knew that the person backing her up was a good friend of Ricky's father. So, none of them dared to mistreat her. "It's just a token of appreciation," Joelle replied with a warm smile. She did not take the initiative to approach Sean even though she was interested in him because she knew that Sean would hate her for doing so. She passed the gift to the butler. Then, she changed into a new pair of slippers and went into the house.She saw Sean as soon as she stepped into the house. She greeted him after getting closer to him, "Mr. Sean, you wouldn't mind me having a free meal here, right?"Sean's expression did not change one bit. He looked as nonchalant as he would be in the office. It seemed like Joelle was nothing but a pile of documents on his office desk.He did not put any personal feelings into it while dealing with either of them."That's a question for the people preparing the meal, not me." Sean threw her a glance
Joelle frowned as she could not stop thinking about what Sean had said.'Sharon…'Another woman. 'And, she has been here too. 'I guess she's pretty close with Sean's parents then, right?'Her curiosity took her over as she asked Alice, "Aunty, who's Sharon?"Alice felt a little awkward as she forcefully lifted the edge of her mouth. She recollected herself and said, "Sharon Newman used to treat me, and her family has some business ties with the Anderson Cooperation too. So, we're kind of friends with each other, and she would pay us a visit occasionally. However, I heard that something happened in her family, so she stopped coming here.""I see."Joelle pretended as if she did not care, but she opened her mouth again as if she wanted to ask another question. However, she was interrupted by Alice. "Here, Joelle. Have some more."I can't let you go home hungry after inviting you for a meal with us."Joelle changed her mind and swallowed her curiosity after seeing how kind A
Alex guessed that was what happened, so he did not tell anyone, including Ben and Claudia about what he saw that night.Molly did not know what Alex was thinking as she held his hand and said with a smile, "I'm fine."Molly thought that she would feel a lot better after coming home to the triplets.However, she only realized that she was distracted again because of Sean after staying in the room for a while. The lights in the room were not switched on, and the dark environment was making it hard for her to pull herself together.She dragged herself to the bed and buried her head in the sheets, feeling annoyed.'Why do I feel so irritated?'She had never felt this distraught before.Molly clearly had no idea what was happening to her because she was rather inexperienced in love.Besides, she was a doctor, and she should always be calm and rational… Getting jealous was just not her thing. The triplets asked her to play puzzles with them before she could spend more time in th
'Did something happen?'The triplets looked at each other, and none of them knew what happened.They asked curiously, "Mommy, what's wrong?'"Nothing," Molly answered them automatically. She looked at the messed-up puzzle in front of her and said while smiling, "It's been too long since I played the puzzle. I was annoyed that I couldn't finish it." Sean did not stay in the office after work, and he went home right away. He already knew that Molly was discharged when he was still in the car.Tony was aware of it too. However, he knew that his boss was not a romantic person. An idea popped into his head, and he smiled before suggesting to the man sitting in the backseat, "Boss, do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers for Dr. May? To congratulate her on her discharge."'Boss likes Ms. May so much. He probably won't say no, right?'"Every woman likes to receive flowers. I'm sure that Dr. May will be delighted." He continued.Sean looked out the window as he was a little tempted to
Molly was sitting on the sofa silently under the dim lights as if she was waiting for him to come home…Sean felt a surge of warmth in his heart.Molly lifted her head after hearing some noises coming from the entrance, and she saw Sean walking in. Then, she flatly said, "You're back."Sean approached Molly while holding the bouquet of roses he bought. The red roses looked so striking that it was very attractive. However, Molly shifted her gaze without even looking at them.She stood up and walked right back to the room. "Let's begin the treatment now that you're back. I need to go home early to get some rest later."'It won't exist if I don't look at it, and I can forget about him if I don't interact with him.'Molly thought to herself.Sean looked at Molly's back and he immediately gave up the idea of giving her the flowers. "Boss?" Even Tony, who was standing behind him, had no idea what was happening. 'Why do I feel like something's wrong with Dr. May today?'"You can
As for herself and Sean, Molly figured that it was best for them to just share a doctor-and-patient relationship. Loving Sean had made Molly lose her self-confidence.The treatment was done, and Molly was about to turn and leave.But, Sean immediately grabbed her hand.When Sean's warmth had reached Molly, she wanted to swing his hand away. However, Sean seemed to have expected it, so he grabbed her hand harder this time."Let go of me," Molly said."No." Sean squeezed her hand even tighter.Molly struggled, but it was to no avail. She then started to get angry. "You…""Tell me, what's wrong? Molly, are there still secrets between us?" He had never expected their relationship to turn out like this. He did not even have the chance to say what he wanted to say.This feeling was making him panic.He was not going to let go of Molly's hand as he felt as though he would never be able to reach her if he let go of her at that time.Molly attempted to pull her hand back a few times
However, Molly forgot that Sean was still holding her hand. As soon as she moved, Sean pulled her back to him.Molly was not prepared. After letting out a short yelp, she found herself sitting on Sean's lap."The things you said… Are they true?" Sean did not hold her hand anymore. Instead, he was holding her waist as he wrapped her in his arms.Being at such a close distance, both of them could smell each other's scent with every breath. Molly was getting dizzy as Sean's cool woody scent lingered in her nose."Y-Yes." She did not know what she was saying anymore. But, she was clear that her heart was beating for this man.Under Sean's gaze, Molly had almost lost all her rationality. She felt her body warming up, just like her face. All she wanted to do was hide.As expected, her voice was as soft as a mouse when she spoke."Let go of me…" Molly did not sound cold anymore. Additionally, she even talked like she was reluctant.She sounded so beautiful that Sean wanted to devour h
Molly was still in disbelief when she went to bed as it felt like a dream.She was actually together with Sean… Most importantly, he liked her back.Molly could not help but smile and was so happy that she could not sleep.The next day, Sean came to her house to have breakfast.As soon as he sat next to Molly, he looked at her with a smiling face and gently said, "Good morning.""Morning…" Molly smiled.The sweet atmosphere was obvious even when they were separated by the table.Everyone could tell that something was different about them.Tony rubbed his eyes as he could not believe it.He did not expect his boss to be a couple with Molly just like that!'Ah, no. I should call her Mrs. Anderson now, right?'Tony stood behind Sean as he prayed for Sean to remember his effort and hard work all this time.It was best if his effort could be reflected by an increase in his year-end bonus.Grandpa Dave squinted as he smiled. His eyes were darting between Sean and Molly.Grandpa
Chapter 1882Chester thought this was a good idea. After deliberation, he said, "Then, let's send some people over from the Dark Group."The Grandset had eight groups on the surface, but in reality, there was a secret Dark Group.The Dark Group's members were trained by Chester. Almost all of them were experts in ancient martial arts.Moreover, they were good at scouting, tracking, and counter-tracking, far more capable than the five Asura Kings.Sean looked at him and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. They're the only ones capable of this mission. Ordinary people can't accomplish it."Chester nodded. "Got it. I'll arrange it as soon as possible. I hope things will turn out well. "Sean nodded. They chatted for a while longer before Chester left.In the evening, Sean returned to his place, and Molly was still awake.She had already taken a shower and was leaning against the bedhead, reading a book about ancient medical techniques.Sean casually put his jacket aside, wa
Chapter 1881Chester left with Sean's orders and quickly told everyone.However, despite the advance notice, some of the family heads in several unmanaged districts were still missing for the next two days.The forces under the Martial Art Union also suffered from the impact.Sean sensed that something was wrong.People were missing in the Martial Art Union and the unmanaged areas, but the Grandset was fine.It was definitely not a good sign.Sean quickly called an emergency meeting.The next morning, all the hall masters gathered in the conference room of the temporary base.Everyone was seated at the large round table.Sean was the last to come in. Everyone stood up and respectfully greeted him. "Master."Sean nodded lightly in response.After taking the seat of honor, he got straight to the point and said, "I presume you know why you are summoned here. Many family heads have disappeared recently, which has caused panic among the people."Only we are left unharmed."S
Chapter 1880Mr. Ballard sighed resignedly, “We have no other choices now. The Martial Art competition will be held in two days. Hope nothing else will happen.”“Although we haven’t gotten any news from the Martial Art Union, we should be prepared for attacks and continue to prepare the medicine.”Molly also felt disturbed. The situation was still uncertain, and they couldn’t slack off.If the Martial Art Union attacked them in advance and they hadn’t been prepared, they would be in danger.“I think so. Now that it’s true, we’d better return to the hospital. The hospital must be in chaos. Molly...”Mr. Ballard looked at Sean and Molly worriedly.Molly was afraid that Sean would disagree and said immediately, “I would like to return to the hospital with you.”Sean nodded, “Remember to take a rest when you’re tired. I will ask the driver to drive you to the hospital.”The next day, the Martial Art Union made an announcement as expected.The Martial Art Union: [Recently, many he
Chapter 1879Sean ordered immediately, "Arrange more people to look for them, while secretly protecting the remaining clan leaders. Don't act rashly and alarm the enemy, so as not to raise new issues.""Moreover, send some people to look into the matter secretly, and keep a close watch on the Martial Art Union."Tony nodded, "Okay, Mr. Anderson. I'll do it right away."After finishing his words, he left hurriedly.Looking at the partial information Tony had previously compiled about clan leaders' disappearance, Sean pinched his brow. Sean mused, feeling that this matter wasn't simple.A few moments later, the office door was knocked again, "Sean, may I come in?"Molly's voice came outside the door.Hearing this, Sean adjusted his expression and got up to open the door.He gently took Molly's hand and led her into his office to sit down, "Why are you guys here at this hour? Are you not feeling well?"He asked Molly softly, smoothing her hair."No, I'm fine. It's just that Mr.
Chapter 1878Sean looked at the woman in his arms with tender eyes.He wiped the water droplets off the corners of Molly's mouth and asked, "Do you want to sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when the meal is ready."Molly didn't refuse.Unwilling to part with her, the three kids had talked to her till late hours last night.And she had to get up early this morning to catch the plane. She was indeed a little tired.Now that she had nothing to do, she could take a rest and refresh herself.Soon, Molly went to bed and slept.Sean watched over her.Later, the maid got the meal ready, and he woke up Molly.The next morning, Molly woke up to find the man beside her was gone.A note was left on the bedside table. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have something to do and will come back tonight."She looked at the note and felt anxious.It seemed that she too had to quickly enter working mode. After breakfast, Molly quickly tidied up and went straight to the hospital.What ha
Chapter 1877Mr. Ballard smiled happily, “OK. I will take you there personally!”After they chatted for a while, Molly went to visit the hospital. Then she went to the villa to take a rest with Sean.The villa was close to the hospital. Before they went there, Sean arranged for someone to buy it.Sean’s purpose was to let Molly go to the hospital and back conveniently.After Sean carried the luggage into the villa, he said to Molly who sat on the couch, “Have a look at the villa. Tell me if you lack anything. I will buy them for you.”Molly looked around and shook her head, “Everything is available here. If I need anything else, I will tell you.”Sean smiled, put down the luggage, poured a cup of water for her, and asked with concern, “Are you tired?”Molly replied honestly, “Only my legs ache.”Hearing that, he sat beside her immediately and massaged her legs gently.Seeing that he was so considerate, she smiled and felt happy.A few minutes later, Molly felt much better an
Chapter 1876Mr. Ballard felt proud of himself, seeing the surprised expressions on Molly's and Sean's faces."What do you think of the temporary medical base we set up?" he asked, fixing his eyes on Sean.Sean, who understood what the old man meant, smiled in response. "Very good. Even better than I expected."As they chatted, they walked into the base."Mr. Ballard."Every person in a white coat greeted Mr. Ballard with respect.And they were amazed by the presence of Molly and Sean.The two were outstanding in appearance and temperament.Mr. Ballard nodded in response to the greetings while introducing the layout of the base to Molly and Sean.Molly looked around and asked curiously, "Are these people all doctors?"Given Mr. Ballard and Logan's strength, she thought that they could gather dozens of people at most.After all, this matter was full of danger.But those in front of her probably numbered in the hundreds, even thousands.Seeing an impressed Molly, Mr. Ballar
Chapter 1875The next day, Molly recuperated in the bedroom.Sean was worried about her and specially worked in the bedroom.The three kids were also there.They joked or told interesting things from time to time. Molly was amused by them and wore a smile on her face all the time.Molly had persuaded Sean and thus was in a good mood.Within two days, she looked much better.Mr. Ballard, Logan, and the others were relieved and could go to do logistic work at ease.On the day when they set off, Molly saw them off at the door.She looked at them and reminded them carefully, “Please pay attention to your safety. If anything happens, contact us immediately.”Mr. Ballard urged Molly to return to the room, “I see. Don’t worry. You can return to your room and take a rest now. You haven’t totally recovered yet.”Logan and Lesley nodded and echoed, “Uncle Jordan is right. We will take care of Uncle Jordan.”Yolanda said, “Don’t worry. You will go to find us with Mr. Atherton soon.”
Chapter 1874The next morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window and woke Molly up. She saw three little ones guarding her, staring at her with an intense gaze."Mommy, you're awake," they exclaimed happily."How do you feel, Mommy? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"Molly's heart warmed at their care and she smiled gently. She raised her hand and rubbed their heads lightly, saying softly, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."Sitting beside her, Sean watched the interaction between Molly and the children with tender eyes. He instructed the little ones, "You stay here with Mommy. I'll go get Jordan to check on her and have breakfast delivered.""Daddy, go ahead," the little ones replied, waving their hands without looking back.Sean left with a smile, and he soon returned with Jordan and Logan. Upon seeing Molly leaning against the bed, Brycen squeezed through the crowd to come to her side."Molly, it seems you are fine now!" he exclaimed with concern, his dark
