The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 315 Rational Max and Zoey

Molly said to Sebastian, "Wait forfor half an hour, Sebastian."

Early in the morning at the Chase family home, Sebastian said to Timothy and Ellie in the yard, "I washed the car

yesterday when | picked up Molly from school, but today we're going back to the countryside, and the roads are

all dusty. Yesterday's wash was probably in vain."

Ellie said, "When we get back from the countryside, you should make Molly clean your car."

Sebastian replied, "Forget it, Mom. You know what Molly's like. My car is white, and if she washes it, it might

change color."

Ellie thought about when Molly was little. Timothy drove a government car home, and because he had been

visiting rural areas, the car was covered in mud spots.

Molly, with good intentions, went to wash Timothy's car, but halfway through, she started doodling on it with

watercolor pens.

In the end, she somehow ended up lying on the hood, drawing.

When a government official cto use the car, they saw it covered in colorful drawings with crooked words like

"Dad, Mom, Family" and burst out laughing.

Luckily, the paint was easy to remove, so Molly's artwork didn't stay on the official car.

Molly, having changed her clothes, appeared and asked, "What are you all praisingfor?"

Ellie chuckled, "Talking about the mischief you got into when you were little." She pointed to Sebastian's car and

said, "Go with Sebastian and don't fall asleep in the car. Sebastian will get tired driving for a long time, so keep

him company and chat with him."

"I got it, Mom." Molly threw her bag in the back seat and got into the front passenger seat.

After Sebastian and Molly left, Timothy said to Ellie, "Let's go to the hospital in the morning and then to the park

in the afternoon."

Ellie looked at Timothy and nodded with a smile.

On the road, Molly chatted with Sebastian for half an hour while holding a fruit platter. When she got tired, she

lay down and fell asleep. Sebastian's jacket was draped over her.

When she woke up, they were already off the highway. The task of keeping him company had been completed in

her dreams. Sebastian pulled over to the side of the road, got out to smoke, and clear his head.

Molly got out and stretched. She looked at the wildflowers around her and was delighted. "Spring is so nice. All

the flowers are blooming."

Molly, wearing a white hoodie and light blue jeans, squatted by the roadside, feeling the warm spring air. Her

hair, under the sunlight, appeared to be yellow.

After resting for a while, they got back in the car and continued their journey.

By noon, they arrived at their hometown..

Zoey had already packed the wild strawberries in bags.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're back," Molly shouted as soon as she entered the door.

"Molly's here! Look at what Max just picked from the mountain for you," Zoey called out to her.

Many families kept dogs in the countryside. With the door open, it wasn't long before the neighbor's dog came

over looking for food.

Max used a stick to chase the dog away and then closed the door.

They hadn't forgotten that Molly was allergic to dog hair.

"Grandma, how do you still have wild strawberries this season?" Molly asked.

Zoey said, "Last year, the strawberries on the mountain ripened, but no one picked them. Max and | went and

picked up a big bag. Timothy has high blood pressure, so these strawberries were meant for him."

Zoey took out two bags, "The yellow bag is for Vera. She needs to take in ssugar; if she doesn't eat well

during pregnancy, she'll get low blood sugar. | coated these with a layer of sugar. The white ones are for your

dad. Take them hand let him soak them in water to help with his condition."

After saying this, Zoey added, "I didn't prepare much for Vera. She's still in the early stages, so if she feels

uncomfortable, she can eat one to ease it, but she shouldn't eat them often."

Molly replied, "Okay, | got it, Grandma."

While having lunch at their hometown, Stella called Max and Zoey. Coincidentally, Molly and Sebastian were right

there.

Stella was still insisting that Max and Zoey help Harold with his job.

Max was so angry he started coughing. "Instead of wasting ton this, why don't you let Harold find a job on

his own?"

"Dad, Miles still hasn't found a job. Our family is living off our savings now. If you don't help Harold, at least think

about me."

Max said, "I care about you, but you don't listen to my advice. Last time, | found a security job for Miles. He

worked for two days and then quit without a word, saying it was too tiring, too embarrassing, and the pay was

too low, always complaining."

"I suggested Harold learn a trade, but you dismissed it because the apprentice's pay was low and the conditions

weren't good."

"Stella, you need to understand that you can only do what you're capable of. They don't have the skills for high-

paying jobs with great benefits. What company would want them?"

Stella said, "We have connections. You can talk to Molly. Harold is her brother, too."

Before Stella could finish, Max angrily hung up the phone. He told Zoey, "From now on, we won't answer her

calls."

Elderly people often have their phone volturned up high, so Molly and Sebastian heard Stella's words.

Sebastian asked, "Harold still hasn't found a job?"

Max slammed the table in anger, "He's not even trying. He hasn't looked at all. Miles is just as lazy. | went out of

my way to get him a security job, which is easy and not stressful, with a monthly salary of $3,000. But he

thought being a security guard was embarrassing, and the pay was too low, so he quit. Irresponsible!"

Sebastian couldn't understand what kind of people they were.

Molly stayed silent, but Zoey spoke up, "Molly, if Stella calls you, just argue back. You're still a student, too young

to deal with her family's issues."

Max also thought Stella was hopeless. She had insulted Molly at the Chase family home. After learning about

Molly's background, shamelessly asked for help.

Patrick had cut off their livelihood because Molly was insulted. There was no way Patrick would agree to let

Harold work at the company.

Max thought it was a miracle Harold hadn't been blacklisted from finding any job, let alone dreaming of working

at the Olteran Group.

Max thought Stella was a fool.

Molly nodded. "Okay, | won't get involved."

On the way back to Zandonick, Sebastian quietly gave Molly $5,000.

Molly took the money and secretly slipped into Max and Zoey's bedroom, placing the money under their pillows.

When she reappeared, Sebastian knew Molly had taken care of it.

At that moment, Sebastian took out $1,000 from his wallet and handed it to Max and Zoey. "If | give you too

much money, you won't accept it. This $1,000 is for you to buy meat, clothes, and medicine. It's a small token of

my appreciation. Please accept it."

Zoey refused. "We can spend Timothy and Ellie's money. We can't spend yours. You work hard for your money;

save it for when you get married."

"Grandma, $1,000 won't be enough for Sebastian to marry. Please take it. Otherwise, we won't feel at ease when

we leave. Besides, $1,000 isn't much."

Knowing their grandchildren were respectful and that the amount wasn't much, Max and Zoey accepted their

kind gesture.

Before it got dark, Molly and Sebastian left.

Halfway back, Sebastian received an angry call from Zoey. "When did you put the money under the pillow?"
