The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 696 The More You Coax, The Angrier She Gets

Shawn glanced at Molly, who was also eyeing Sebastian. "When did you start meeting people behind my back?" A wife always got an eye on her husband's social circle.

"An old guy reported a crime. Poor dude got scammed out of his money and came to me for help."

"Did he get his money back?"

Sebastian nodded, wrapping his arm around Molly's waist and looking down at her. He only needed to lean in a bit to kiss her, but at the Olteran Manor, he held back. "When I step in, I always get results."

Molly laughed. "Then I'll go too." It'd be embarrassing to pick cherries at someone's place if the money hadn't been recovered.

Susan also wanted to go, but she directed her words at Randall. "Randall, I want to eat fresh cherries."

"Store-bought ones aren't fresh?"

"Store-bought ones are picked by others, not fresh. I want to eat them straight from the tree."

Randall teased, "Why don't you just hug the tree and eat them directly? That would be even fresher."

Susan got angry and stood up, moving away from Randall to sit next to Vera.

Cindy pointed at Randall in frustration. "If Susan were my daughter, you'd never be my son-in-law."

Randall awkwardly rubbed his nose.

After a while, Sebastian got up to leave. "Dad, I'll come pick you and Molly up tomorrow."

and I remembered how he used to pressure me into doing things. I felt I needed to show him I wouldn't tolerate it anymore.
