Chapter 314 I'm Downstairs
you help me?"
Noah often called Vera with nagging reminders: "Take care of yourself, wear more clothes, go for check-ups
frequently, and exercise more." Vera got tired of hearing this and eventually lied to Noah. "Noah, the teacher
assigned homework, can Before she could finish, the call was already disconnected.
Vera put down her phone and went to sleep.
On Friday, Sebastian appeared at the classroom door.
As soon as school was out, Molly ran to hug Sebastian with open arms, "Sebastian."
Sebastian extended one arm and hugged Molly, his face full of affection.
Vera said to Randall, "Sometimes | envy Molly. | don't have a single brother, but she has three great ones."
Randall replied, "Sometimes | envy you too. Patrick can't even bear to raise his voice at you."
Vera retorted, "You're the least enviable."
When most of the classmates had left, and no one was crowding the door, Vera and Randall got up from their
seats.
Molly cback to get her book. "Randall, can you take my book hand bring it back on Monday?"
Randall said, "Can't you take it hyourself?"
"It's too much trouble. Just leave it in your car."
Previously, when Molly cto school, she would throw her books in the back seat of Sebastian's car, leaving
them everywhere.
Once, one of Sebastian's subordinates sat in his car and said, "Mr. Chase, are you taking extra college courses?"
"Those are Molly's. She left them in my car again." Sebastian would put Molly's books in the trunk, and she would
have to find them herself. Later, when they moved to the Olteran family home, Molly's books and Vera's books
ended up in Randall's car.
Vera, Molly, and Randall often searched through the thirty or so books in the car for the materials they needed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfor the next class.
Before long, Patrick arrived. He got out of the car and saw Sebastian. "Are you here to pick up Molly?"
"Yeah, my parents have been asking about her, so I'm taking her hfor the weekend."
Then Patrick gave Molly a few reminders.
Molly had somehow adapted to the Olteran family's lifestyle. She used to run back to the Chase family
frequently, but now, at the Olteran family, she could run around in her pajamas. Even if she slept until the
afternoon on weekends, she wasn't embarrassed when she got up.
She felt completely at home, having accepted this place deep down.
Sebastian took Molly and left.
Back at the Chase family home, Timothy and Ellie had just arrived.
Knowing Molly was coming back today, they had no other plans and cstraight hafter work.
"Molly, you haven't been hfor so long. We thought you didn't want this family anymore," Ellie said, gently
pinching Molly's earlobe and pretending to scold her.
Molly replied, "Mom, | have only two families in my life. | would never abandon you. This semester has been
tough with a lot of courses, and it's exhausting to go back and forth. But I'm here now, so don't be mad."
After saying that, Molly playfully kissed Ellie on the cheek.
Timothy looked at Molly, smiling so much that his eyes were almost closed. "When you get married, you'll have
three families."
Molly said, "You guys used to say you wantedto stay single forever. | guess I'll never get married."
Hearing this, both Timothy and Sebastian laughed.
Sebastian picked up an orange from the table, peeled it, and handed it to Molly. "Vera is pregnant. What have
you done to help? You seem to have gained sweight."
If Sebastian hadn't mentioned it, Timothy and Ellie wouldn't have noticed that Molly had indeed gained a bit of
weight.
Talking about this made Molly a little upset. "Vera's meals are too nutritious. The cook makes everything to
Vera's taste. She hasn't gained weight, but Randall and | have. Randall is so fed up with the pregnancy meals
that he goes running and working out every night to lose weight. | couldn't keep up, so | just got fat."
As she spoke, Molly divided the orange into four pieces and fed them to Timothy, Ellie, and Sebastian. "Dad,
Mom, tellhow much you missed me."
Back in the Chase family, she was still the cherished daughter.
At the Olteran family in the evening, Randall was running in the yard while Vera was taking a walk.
She didn't look well, as her morning sickness had started. She couldn't keep anything down, which worried
Patrick.
They had consulted the doctor multiple times, and the result was that swomen have mild morning sickness,
sdon't have it at all, and some, like Vera, vomit even bile.
The doctor prescribed medication specifically for this, to be taken only when she couldn't bear it anymore.
Whenever Vera felt terrible from vomiting, Patrick would bring out the medicine for her.
She would bite her lip and shake her head.
"All medicine has stoxicity, especially for pregnant women," Vera said. "No woman has an easy tduring
pregnancy. I'll endure it."
At the Chase family dinner table, Molly started asking, "Mom, did you have morning sickness when you were
pregnant?”
Ellie looked at Timothy and asked, "Honey, did | have morning sickness when | was pregnant with Sebastian?"
Timothy said, "You were young when you had Sebastian, so you didn't have morning sickness. But with Mia, you
did for a few days."
Ellie then asked Molly, "Why are you asking?"
"Vera has morning sickness and can't eat. She runs out of class to vomit, and it's heartbreaking to watch. |
wanted to ask you how to treat morning sickness without medication." Ellie said, "You should ask your grandma.
She took care ofback then. The wild hawthorn she made helped with my nausea."
Molly picked up her phone at the dinner table, ready to call Max and Zoey back home. Timothy said, "Call them
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtomorrow. Your grandparents are probably asleep by now." Molly nodded and put down her phone.
The next morning, she called Zoey, "Grandma, | need a favor..." Then she explained to Zoey.
Zoey was happy to hear this and said, "Sure. Why don't you and Sebastian cover? I'll do it right away."
Molly hung up and ran to knock on the door with her messy hair. "Sebastian, open the door!"
In the living room downstairs, Sebastian looked up at Molly, who was oblivious, and shouted, "I'm downstairs, not
in the bedroom."
Molly looked over the railing and saw that the whole family, except her, was already awake.
She thought she was the first one up.
As she went downstairs, Molly said, "Grandma wants us to go back home. Do you have any plans today?"
Sebastian replied, "I took a day off, so I'm free for the next two days."
Sebastian had worked for half a month without a break. It was only because Molly told him she was coming back
this week that he used his position to get a weekend off. Molly asked, "Dad, Mom, are you going back home
too?"
Timothy shook his head. "No, Ellie and I are going to the park for a walk. We're going to have a date like young
folks."
Hearing Timothy and Ellie being affectionate, Molly teased, "Dad, a date requires roses."
Timothy smiled and nodded. "I'll make sure to get sfor Ellie."
Sebastian pointed at Molly and said, "Go upstairs and change. We're going home."
