Chapter 30
Sean lifted his gaze, and it landed on Molly, who was running away in panic. He slightly lifted the corner of his thin lips as he played with the bottle in his hand.
Molly ran out of the mansion as if she was escaping. She looked down at the open palm. She could only feel that there was still a hint of warmth at the tip of her finger. She frowned uncontrollably. That feeling was too strange!
She shook her head and tried to shake away that weird feeling that came out of nowhere. She took a deep breath of fresh air and went upstairs to put on the blanket for her three little ones. Afterward, she went back to her room to wash herself up and sleep.
The next morning–
“Mommy! Wakey, wakey! It’s time to get up.”
Molly was woken up by the three little ones. She opened her eyes woozily and saw the three little ones standing by her bed with a bright smile. They were all dressed nicely, and they looked dashing too. It gave her a strange feeling as if something good had happened.
"What time is it?" Molly got up from her bed and asked while yawning.
"It's already eight o'clock." Alex walked forward and said thoughtfully. "Breakfast is ready. Mommy, get up and eat now."
Molly pulled Alex closer and hugged him. She then gave him a big kiss on his cheek and said lazily, "Baby Alex, you're a good son!"
"Mommy, you haven't brushed your teeth yet." Alex snorted lightly and spoke. Molly smiled, and her eyes turned into crescents. "Go wash your face one more time then, such a cutie!"
She held the little guy's cheek with both of her hands and rubbed it for a while as she said it. She only got up clumsily after she was done having fun with Alex. She then went to the bathroom to wash herself up and got downstairs after changing her clothes.
At that time, there was a single portion of breakfast on the dining table. It was evident that three children had had their breakfast..
Ben sat on the sofa and stared at the computer. The monitor was showing some red and green lines. He was looking at the stock market, whereas Claudia was holding a crayon in her hand and drawing concentratedly. Alex took out a bowl of warm oatmeal from the kitchen and handed it to his mother. Three of them were doing their own things respectively and looked very experienced. Molly sat at the dining table and waited to eat with a lazy face. She looked like the most useless one in the house.
However, the three little ones were not bothered by it at all.
Alex pulled the chair out and climbed up using his hands and legs. He sat beside his mother and asked, "Mommy, what's your plan for today?" "The luggage that I sent back from overseas will probably reach today. Cherry, Kiwi, and Papaya too! After I'm done with that, I'll need to go to the supermarket to buy the daily essentials and whatever that we lack. Your great-grandpa is coming to stay with us." Molly said before thinking for a moment.
The old man called last night and said he could not wait to meet his great- grandchildren anymore. He knew that it was not appropriate for them to meet in the May Residence, so he just decided to move in sooner since he was not happing staying there anyway. Out of sight, out of mind.
Molly obviously was very welcome his decision. "This is great! I miss great- grandpa so much!" Alex said happily, "Besides, our house will be lively by then!" "Yeah!" Molly said with a smile. Molly cleaned up the bowl and utensils after finishing her breakfast. The luggage she sent back from overseas really reached her around ten o'clock.
Molly got herself busy right away while three of the little ones helped her at the side. They looked extremely cute when they tried to help with their tiny bodies. She could not help herself but take out her phone to take many photos. She was only done unpacking everything around three in the aftemoon, even with their help. She wanted to go out to buy some things after being busy for more than half a day. When she was about to leave the house, her phone rang!
She looked and saw it was her dad, Walter, calling. Molly could not help but frown. She did not really want to pick up the phone, but she was worried that it might be related to her grandfather. So, her fingertip ended up on the green button anyway as she answered the phone in a cold tone, "Yes?"
"Come back home. I need to talk to you about something." Walter's cold voice came from the other side of the phone. His tone sounded like he was ordering her to come as if she was somebody on his beck and call.
The look on Molly's face remained unchanged. She had lost all her expectations of this person long ago, so she did not care how he treated her. She rejected him coldly and said straightforwardly, "I've already signed the contract, so there's no need for us to meet anymore. I'm very busy. Just tell me whatever you have to say on the phone. Let's not waste both of our time."
"What now? Is it so difficult for your biological father to see you now?" Walter got angry right away! 'What kind of attitude is that?" "Didn't you say you didn't have a daughter like me five years ago? You didn't even care to come to see me in the past five years, so why bother now?" Molly was indifferent about it as she said coldly. She hung up the phone before Walter could give her any response. Walter was furious on the other side of the phone!
"How ungrateful!" He gritted his teeth and snapped. Lara, who was at his side, got a little heated too. "Hmph! What a temper she got after not seeing her for a few years! She was probably spoiled by the old man. She's only disrespecting us because the old man is backing her up. The old man was ridiculous too. We wouldn't have to put up with this if he didn't give her the shares!"Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She always thought that Diana was her only daughter. Other than the fact that she did not come out from her womb, she and Diana looked like mother and daughter cut from the same cloth.
