Crossroads

Chapter 311

On Christmas Eve, Molly found herself in a rather awkward situation.

She had been standing on the roadside, waiting for a car to take her home, when suddenly, a sapphire blue Lamborghini sped towards her. Terrified, Molly thought someone was trying to kill her. But then, the car screeched to a halt, and a familiar small figure jumped out.

“Molly, why did you come all the way to Carlorium? I’ve been looking for you all day. So, you and my dad secretly came here on vacation… How could you forget about me?” Andy had tracked her down to Caclorium.

Molly’s face flushed with embarrassment at the child’s innocent question. “No, it’s not what you think…” she stammered, desperately looking to the man beside her for support.

Since Vincent had driven there, Molly and Scott didn’t need to wait for a car. However, driving back from Caclorium to Havencrest would take at least four hours, whereas Scott and Molly had flown over by plane.

“Nothing better to do?” Scott asked as he got into the driver’s seat of Vincent’s flashy Lamborghini.

“You think I enjoy driving so many miles by myself? It’s all because of your son. He was worried sick, saying Molly was missing. Your parents said you were on a business trip. They asked me if I knew where you were, so I spent the whole day driving around, exhausted. What kind of Christmas is this? I only had a burger. He even ate it while driving, quite miserable. Vincent complained, stretching and relaxing in the passenger seat. He gave a cheeky glance at the rearview mirror and grinned. “Did not expect you two to actually be together

Vincent was blunt, and Scott, driving calmly, raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Sitting in the back seat, Molly overheard. their conversation and felt increasingly embarrassed.

“Molly, I’ve finished half of the dominoes you gave me… Andy, also in the back seat, scooted closer to Molly, suddenly much more affectionate after not seeing her for a few days.
