The first message was from Benjamin, "Molly, do assist Mr. Jadon well when you're overseas. Give my regards to him!"Another message was from Brycen, "Sister, get the work done and come back sooner. The kids couldn't sleep every night because they missed you so much. They forced me to tell them bedtime stories. It's so torturous because I'm not good at telling bedtime stories! Come back soon and save me, sister."The third message was a push message from a public number.She opened the conversation with Sean. Their latest chat history was in the afternoon.She sent him a message, "What are you doing?"Sean did not reply.It meant that Molly had not heard from Sean for more than 10 hours.She was inexplicably uneasy. 'Is it because he's really busy? That's why he forgets to text me?'Or, are there any other reasons?'"Molly, what's wrong?" Jadon, who was sitting beside her, noticed that she seemed a little off. So, he caringly asked her that.Molly locked her phone subconsciou
"Sean, why are you here?" Molly was extremely surprised.At that moment, the days of missing Sean had turned into excitement and happiness. She almost cried!Sean was delighted too, as he saw the big smile on Molly's face. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, "I coincidentally had some work to do here in Fomanesia. So, I stopped by to see you. Have you gotten used to the things here?""Yes, quite well. But... Today isn't so good." Molly felt wronged suddenly."What happened today?" Sean frowned immediately."You didn't reply to my message," Molly disappointedly murmured.Molly was very upset because she did not receive any text messages from Sean for one whole day. The emptiness she felt was quite torturous.Sean suddenly felt very guilty. He did not reply to her message intentionally because he wanted to give her a surprise. But, he did not expect that it would worry her.He immediately grabbed her soft tiny hand as he apologized, "I'm sorry. I won't worry you agai
The cup was so full of warm water that the water flowed out onto the table. Only then Molly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath as her heartbeat gradually went back to normal.She then served Sean the cup of warm water and said, "Drink some."Sean said sure to her softly. The mood between them finally returned to normal.Molly curiously asked, "How many days are you staying in Fomanesia for this trip?""My initial prediction is one week. But, I'm not sure if that's enough," Sean said honestly.One week for him to deal with his work was more than enough. He mainly wanted to spend more time with her. That was why he was worried that one week was not enough.But, Molly was overjoyed. 'One week? That's plenty of time!'The thought of being able to see Sean every day for the next seven days made her smile unconsciously."I'll try to finish my work earlier for the next few days, so I can spend more time with you. We can go shopping. We can also have something good togethe
The alarm went off timely the next morning.Molly opened her eyes and woke up with a big yawn after hearing the alarm. However, she felt like there was something on her stomach, and she could not sit up straight at all.She looked down confusedly and saw a slender arm wrapped tightly around her waist.And, that arm belonged to...Sean was still deep in his sleep because of the jetlag. He had no idea that Molly was awake, nor he was aware that he was being sized up as if he was a piece of art.It was Molly's first time looking at Sean from such a close distance. She could not help but be impressed by how handsome he looked.His long, fan-shaped lashes were thick and dark, and his eyebrows were arched at a perfect angle too. His nose looked sharp, and he also had a pair of rosy-pink lips. On top of that, his skin was so flawless that it looked like porcelain.Molly gulped subconsciously as she thought to herself, 'I'm sure that not many women can resist a handsome man like this, h
"Ms. May!" Selina took a few steps forward curiously and asked, "Is this...""Oh, this is my boyfriend," Molly smiled and spoke.The window rolled down coincidentally at that time.Sean sat in the car, looking cold. His features looked so delicate that they felt unreal. He nodded at Selina and flatly said in a courteous manner, "I'm sorry, but I'm taking Molly out to have lunch now. I'm afraid she won't be able to spend time with you and Mr. Scott for now. Please excuse us.""Ah..."Selina was amazed by that man's temperament and appearance. It took her two seconds to recollect herself before she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just enjoy your lunch. I'll tell Mr. Scott about it."Then, she turned to Molly and gave her a knowing look. "Ms. May, you have good taste."Molly smiled as she agreed with what Selina said. Then, she left the research laboratory with Sean.The same thing happened for the next few days. Molly would finish her work as quickly as possible a
There were various art objects in the exhibition. Some of them were unearthed cultural relics, and some of them were masterpieces of artists who died. They were also ancient pianos, advanced robots, etc.Suddenly, Sean raised his hand, asking Molly to stop as he shifted his gaze to a vintage vase."Wow. This vase is so beautiful."Molly glanced over, and the exquisite pattern on the vase caught her attention. She was amazed. "A vase like this has got to cost at least a few hundred thousand, right?""Few hundred thousand? You've got to be kidding me!"A manager who was in charge of introducing the artworks to the guests appeared and said to Molly politely, "This vase is a relic from 618 to 906 A.D. It was found in an emperor's grave, and it's worth way more than that. You'll need to pay a lot more if you want to take it home."We'll be having an auction tonight, and the starting bid for this vase will be three million dollars!""Three million?"Molly was shocked by the figure. T
"You're right."Molly smiled and continued speaking after placing the vase down stably. "What do you feel like eating tonight? I'll cook it for you when we get back.""Anything will do." Sean turned and looked at Molly. The light in the car made his gaze look extra gentle. "I'll enjoy the food as long as you're the one who cooks it."Molly blushed and mumbled under her breath, "Someone's getting better at sweet-talking."After they went back to the hotel, Molly took her induction cooker and the ingredients stored in the fridge out. She washed all the ingredients and prepared them to be cooked. Then, she started cooking after the cooker was heated.Even though the ingredients were not the finest and most expensive ones, they felt very satisfied to be able to be in the same room and have a meal with each other.After a while, the induction cooker was heated, and Molly and Sean started cooking together."Sean, try this." Molly took a piece of foie gras and put it in Sean's mouth af
Molly was stunned. Then, happiness swelled within her. Of course, she would want to marry Sean, but..."Sean, if we were to really get married, your mom would probably be against it, right?" Molly said as the smile gradually disappeared from her face.However, Sean smiled. He grabbed Molly's arm and pulled her closer to himself before he comforted her, "Don't worry. My mom isn't going to say no. I'll figure something out to convince her. I'm going to marry you still if I couldn't do that. You're the only person I'll ever marry, and no one can change that.""Sean..."Molly immediately felt reassured after hearing how determined Sean was.She leaned close to Sean and felt very contented and blessed.On the next day, Jadon and Sean finally met after Molly introduced them to each other."Mr. Scott, this is my boyfriend, Sean. Sean, this is Mr. Scott."Sean stretched out his right hand politely and calmly said, "Mr. Scott, nice to meet you.""Nice to meet you too!" Jadon nodded kin
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
