The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 458 Late Summer

Sebastian glanced at Molly; he was used to it.

The call connected, and Alan's pleading voice came through. He cried and begged Molly, "Molly, I was wrong. I just like you; I shouldn't have harassed you. Please. I don't have a home anymore. My dad has a new family and doesn't want me. Molly, I'm sorry."

Alan kept talking about his hardships and trying to gain Molly's sympathy.

But he underestimated Molly's character.

Before Sebastian could say a word, Molly cut in, "I'm really sorry about your lack of a father figure. If you're missing a mother's love, just call me 'Mommy' and I'll gladly raise you as my own." She looked over at Sebastian, a smirk of pride on her face.

Alan was silent for a moment on the other end. "Molly, I'm really at my wit's end. Please save me. My company can't go bankrupt; if it does, I'll have nothing left. Without the company, I might as well die." Unconsciously, Molly wrapped her arm around Sebastian's and leaned on him. Sebastian held the phone while she did the scolding. "If you want to die, just do it. Don't trouble the police; they're very busy." Molly showed no mercy or sympathy for Alan. In fact, she seemed quite the little villain.

Alan was hitting walls everywhere. Now, a single word from Molly could save him. He had already apologized sincerely, but she wouldn't accept it and seemed to want to push him to the brink. Alan questioned, "Molly, why can't you see how I feel about you? Are you really okay with driving me to the edge?"

Molly rolled her eyes. "Alan, it's not like I'm the one pushing you to your limits. If you want to blame someone, go ahead and blame me. At least Sebastian's got my back and can protect me." With a flattering gaze, she turned to Sebastian and asked, "Sebastian, don't you agree?"

Sebastian hadn't spoken yet and passed her the phone, saying, "You take it. I'm heading to bed."

Molly quickly hugged Sebastian, not letting him leave. "No. I don't want to talk with him."

"I see you were enjoying it."

Molly retorted, "I'm not."
