The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Shawn was very pleased with Vera's words.

The Chase family members came in.

Molly introduced everyone.

Max and Zoey from the Chase family looked at Shawn and asked, "Are you sure my granddaughter is your daughter? Why don't you go and test the DNA again? I think your family made a mistake." Shawn replied, "No need to test. I'm pretty sure about it."

"What if you got it wrong?"

Shawn said, "No way, she has the same eyes as her mother."

Max said, "My granddaughter had cosmetic surgery."

Molly murmured, "I did not! My beauty is all-natural!"

Shawn said, "Cosmetic surgery doesn't change blood type. We tested it, and she is my daughter."

Zoey looked around and asked Ellie, "What does the Olteran family do? They seem quite wealthy."

Ellie awkwardly explained to Zoey, "Mia's eldest brother is the mayor of Zandonick, and her second brother is a top business leader, Patrick Olteran."

"So, the Olteran family is well-off, right?" Zoey asked again.

Ellie nodded. "Much better than us."

Zoey felt relieved, saying, "As long as they're not poor, Mia won't suffer."

Zoey was really worried someone would send Mia back and then mistreat her.

Vera and Randall divided their tasks clearly.

Vera joined Ellie and Zoey's group to reassure them.

Randall mingled with the group, constantly praising his own family.

"This child looks good too, just as pretty as our Mia," Zoey said to Ellie, looking at Vera.

Ellie smiled and nodded. "Yes, that's Vera, Mia's best friend."

"Mia always mentioned her. Is she also from the Olteran family?" Zoey asked.

Vera thought about it and realized she was Patrick's wife, so she nodded sweetly. "Yes, Mrs. Zoey Chase."

"Vera, how old are you? Do you have a boyfriend? If not, what do you think of my grandson? He's a captain at the police station, honest, handsome, and has a stable job." Zoey pointed to Sebastian among the men, planning to match Vera with him.

"Mom, don't say that. Vera is already married. She's Shawn's daughter-in-law, and her husband is sitting right there." Ellie quickly interrupted Zoey and pointed to Patrick among the men.

"Really?" Zoey looked at Vera in surprise. "Aren't you Shawn's daughter?"

Vera said, "No. My parents are from the Linister family, but my husband's family is here."

Patrick happened to look over. He was grateful to the Chase family, but what did they mean by introducing a boyfriend to Vera?

Patrick looked at Vera's face again. At home, she didn't wear makeup, so it was normal for people to mistake her for a young girl.

Would she still be mistaken for a young girl even when she had a son in a few years?

Patrick felt a bit annoyed.

Molly sat with Sebastian. "Sebastian, will Grandpa and Grandma fight with my father?"

Sebastian shook his head. "No, they were worried you were born into a poor family and that the Olteran family would ruin your life. They came to assert their authority. But seeing the Olteran family's social status, they must be relieved." Even though they were relieved, Max still warned Shawn, "Mia is our only granddaughter. Whether she's biological or not, if you dare to mistreat her, I won't let all of you off."

Seeing the Chase family's love for Molly, Shawn was moved for a moment.

It was a blessing that Molly was alive and had met such kind people.

At noon, Shawn opened a bottle of fine red wine.

Shawn had quit drinking but indulged again today.

Shawn stood up and raised his glass. "Today, both our families are together. Since I found out my daughter was alive, I've wanted to find an opportunity for our families to sit down and have a meal together. First, to thank you for saving my daughter's life; second, to thank you for raising and loving her; and third, to thank you for saving our Olteran family. We are all very grateful for your love for Molly. If you ever face difficulties, we promise to help you through tough times. Your kindness will never be forgotten."

Timothy, representing the Chase family, stood up and clinked glasses with Shawn. Gradually, everyone at the table stood up, raising their glasses and drinks to toast.

After this toast, the Chase family and the Olteran family opened up to each other.

During this period of calm, everyone accepted the current relationship.

That day, the men of the Chase family all got drunk.

Max ended up so drunk that he and Shawn sat side by side, heads touching.

Max said, "I'm telling you, treat my Mia well, and don't let her be unhappy."

Shawn replied, "She's my daughter. I'll spoil her very much."

Max asked gloomily, "You're just a few years younger than me. How did you have a daughter so late?"

"I had Molly when I was almost fifty. No one expected it. When we found out it was a girl, my family insisted on having her."

Max patted Shawn's shoulder. "Your family is really strange."

Shawn retorted, "Your family is strange."

Sebastian's face was also red from drinking, and Molly stayed by his side, worried. "Sebastian, you usually don't drink, but you drank so much today. What about taking a day off tomorrow?" "I'll be fine."

Vera said to Molly, "Get Mr. Chase more water to drink. It'll help him sober up."

Molly immediately went to get water, making several trips, not just for Sebastian but for all the men who had been drinking.

Patrick pulled Vera, asking, "How do you know so much?"

"I looked it up before," Vera replied.

"Why did you look it up?"

Vera obediently said, "There were a few times you drank too much, so I looked it up online. Someone said that men who drink should drink more water to dilute the alcohol and sober up." Patrick suddenly remembered that a few times after drinking at social events, Vera would drive to pick him up, always having water ready for him in the car. It turned out it was because of him. Patrick put his arm around Vera's shoulder, holding her close.

Patrick also made sure Zoey saw their marital relationship clearly!

When the Chase family finally left, Patrick arranged for a driver to take them back.

Molly also went back with the Chase family.

Cindy and Randall helped the tipsy Vincent back to his room.

The drunk Vincent looked at Randall and proudly pointed at him. "Randall, well done."

All the men drank today, except for Randall and Patrick, who showed no signs of intoxication.

Instead, Vincent and Shawn were so drunk they needed help walking.

Patrick took Shawn upstairs to sleep. Shawn's legs were wobbly, and he told Patrick all sorts of funny stories about the Olteran family from the past.

"I knew that Molly broke my favorite coffee cup, and you took the blame for her. I knew all along. But I pretended not to know and scolded you to vent my anger. I couldn't bear to scold Molly, but I could scold you."
