When it came to protecting Randall, her IQ shot through the roof.
Randall nced at Susan, thinking she was actually pretty impressive.
But why did he say the "hacker" had a thing for her?
Did he have a thing for her?
Susan was definitely overthinking it, letting her imagination run wild.
No way he had a crush!
Randall''s mind was racing with thoughts, but they all circled back to the crush.
Patrick looked over at Randall and paused for a moment. "Let me know when you get any results, and thank Susan''s friend for me."
"Got it, Patrick," Susan replied.
After dinner, Patrick took Theodore out for a walk. Vincent tagged along, chatting with Patrick about work.
Before long, the conversation shifted.
"Patrick, let me hold Teddy for you. It must be tiring to carry him every day," Vincent said.
Patrick looked down at Theodore in his arms, who clung to him just like Vera used to. "Vincent, you''ve been working all day too. You must be tired. He''s not light; I''ll hold him." Vincent insisted, "You''ve been working all day too. You''re tired. Let''s take turns."
Then Vincent snatched Theodore away.
Holding him, Vincent grinned so wide that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obvious. "He''s really cute. I like him."
Meanwhile, Vera and Cindy were on a video call with Molly, talking about her wedding ns.
"Are you taking wedding photos tomorrow?" Vera asked, curious since she''d never done it herself.
Molly was at the Chase family home when Sebastian came out with a bowl of pasta. "Molly, eat more. You won''t get fat, and it won''t mess up the photos," he said earnestly.
Mollyy on the couch, shaking her head firmly. "No."
Then she answered Vera''s question, "Yeah, a few different series."
Turning back to Sebastian, she said, "Sebastian, I''m not eating. Stop trying to feed me."
Vera asked, "What''s up? Not eating at all?"
"Yesterday we took some wedding photos. I saw the proofs and I looked puffy, and my arms were chubby. It didn''t look good. I need to lose weight," Molly exined.
Vera smiled, "Yeah, you only take wedding photos once. Looking good is the most important."
Soon, Zoey and Max came out, seeing Molly fussing about losing weight. She''d been drinking water whenever she felt hungry since yesterday.
Zoey said, "How can you live on so little food?"
After chatting for a bit, they ended the video call.
Sebastian kept coaxing, "Just a few bites. You won''t get fat."
"No," Molly said, biting her lips.
Ellie had been preparing invitations. She came downstairs and saw Molly not eating again. "Molly, just eat properly at home."
Molly wasn''t afraid of Ellie''s scolding. She still bit her lips, her shiny eyes looking at Sebastian, then shook her head.
No matter what, in Sebastian''s eyes, she was the most beautiful.
Even now, with messy hair and a stubborn look, Sebastian loved her.
Ellie wanted to scold Molly again, but Timothy secretly pulled Ellie aside and said, "Were you any better than Molly back then? Who was the one who starved themselves thin for wedding photos?" Ellie thought back to her own experience. "No, it''s because I''ve been there. I''m worried Molly will too. Taking wedding photos isn''t easy; she could faint from low blood sugar."
Timothy chuckled, "You make excuses just like Molly."
Ellie felt a bit embarrassed. "I..."
Eventually, the whole family gave up trying to persuade Molly and left it to Sebastian.
The pasta went from hot to warm. Finally, he took a fork and started eating in front of Molly, making exaggerated eating sounds.
He didn''t believe Molly wouldn''t get hungry.
Sure enough, Molly sat up from the couch, watching Sebastian eat. She hugged a bottle of water and drank.
"I''m going back to the bedroom," Molly said.
Unexpectedly, Sebastian followed her to the bedroom.
Molly puffed her cheeks in anger. "What''s your deal?"
Sebastian asked, "Just one bite?"
Molly swallowed. "Don''t try to tempt me."
Sebastian sat next to Molly with the bowl. "I made it."
He held the bowl to Molly''s lips.
Molly smelled the aroma. She knew Sebastian was a stumbling block on her path to losing weight.
"Fine, just one bite," Molly said.
She opened her mouth and took a bite from Sebastian''s fork.
It was delicious. After being hungry for two days, everything tasted good.
Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "Have some soup. It won''t make you fat, and it''s filling." Molly took another sip.
Sebastian kept coaxing, and Molly couldn''t resist.
Before bed, Molly was full of regret, staring at the empty bowl. She was so mad she wanted to bite Sebastian.
Helplessly,te at night, Sebastian drove her out to buy digestive tablets.
The next day, Molly woke up and started doing weight loss exercises downstairs.
Sebastian saw her regretful lookst night. He realized he selfishly made her eat, but she was upset with herself for eating a few more bites. Sebastian wanted to make her happy. So, during breakfast, while others had sandwiches and coffee, Molly and Sebastian had boiled vegetables and a ss of milk.
Molly was stunned.
Ellie said, "Eat. Sebastian boiled it for you this morning. He didn''t want you to feel lonely eating alone, so he made a portion for himself to eat with you."
Early in the morning, the living room echoed with Molly''s shout, "Sebastian, I know you love me the most in the world!" Her shout could be heard in the yard outside.
At the Olteran family, during breakfast, Randall couldn''t be woken up, and Susan was alsozing in bed.
Cindy was puzzled. "It''s normal for Randall to bezy, but why hasn''t Susan woken up? Is she sick? I''ll go check."
Cindy bypassed Randall''s bedroom and went to Susan''s door, knocking. "Susan? Are you awake? Can Ie in?" At that moment, Randall''s bedroom door opened.
Susan rubbed her sleepy eyes. "I''m here."
Not only was Cindy stunned, but even Vera''s mouth was wide open in surprise. "Why are you in Randall''s room?"
Susan covered her mouth, softly yawned, and said in a daze, "I was ying games with Randallst night, then fell asleep." Cindy was so angry she wanted to go in and beat Randall with a stick.
Cindy stormed in. "Where''s Randall?"
