Their return to Northfolk this time was a little rushed. Molly booked a hotel for them beforehand and planned to settle down before taking out some time to visit the May family.
However, while she was keeping away their luggage, she was shocked to find that the luggage was filled with men's clothes! There were blazers, blouses, neckties, and... men's boxers. There was also a document.
Molly was immediately dumbfounded!
'Did I take the wrong luggage?'
At the same time--
In the presidential suite in the same hotel--
Sean had just arrived and was about to freshen up.
He went overseas to settle some acquisition matters, so he was busy for a whole week.
He had to attend a banquet in this hotel as soon as he came back, so he never really had any time off.
Sean commanded Tony, "Get my clothes out. I'm going to freshen up."
"Alright!"
Tony responded before he pulled the luggage over to him and opened it up.
At the very next second, Tony was completely stunned when he saw the items in the luggage.
Sitting in the luggage were exclusively female clothes, skirts, skincare products, a laptop, sachets...
Sean heard the commotion and opened his eyes. When he saw what was in front of him, he frowned and asked Tony coldly, "What happened?"
The bodyguards were stupefied as well!
The pieces of luggage had never left them ever since they took it.
So how did the items in it change?
While everyone was still in a daze, one of them was suddenly reminded of something. "In the airport! The kid...that pair of twins. They had the same luggage as ours, so they might've taken the wrong one!"
Tony also recalled that incident as he zipped up the luggage immediately and said, "Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and find our luggage back. There's an important document in it!"
If the document got lost, everything they had done would be wasted!
The bodyguards knew how important the document was as well, so they did not dawdle and hurried out of the presidential suite.
On the other hand, Molly was already clear about the reason why they had the wrong luggage.
Alex looked down and looked as sincere as one could be. He admitted his mistake, saying, "It's my fault, Mommy. Please punish me."
Upon speaking, Alex extended his tiny fair arm and turned his palm upwards, awaiting his punishment.
Molly was amused. "You didn't do it on purpose anyway. Why should I punish you?"
There were not any important things in her luggage as she had all the documents with her, so she was not worried at all.
As for this luggage... Molly had already confirmed the owner of it.
On the last page of the document were two big words, "Sean Anderson," and they were written flamboyantly.
The details of the document were about an extremely important acquisition.
Since it was such an important document, the Anderson Corporation would definitely search for it themselves, given their ability!
However, she was still shocked.
The Anderson family had just offered her a large sum of money for her to treat someone in their family, and she bumped into him the very next moment.
'What sort of weird fate is this?'
Molly was mumbling in her heart, but she still told her three babies, "Take some rest first. I'll bring you out for dinner sometime later."
Claudia immediately put her hands up excitedly. "Yay, I want to eat some seafood! I purposely went to do my research before we came here, and I heard that the seafood in this hotel is superb!"
Molly laughed when she looked at the hungry eyes of her little girl. "Sure, my little foodie. I'll bring all of you there to feast later!"
Claudia exclaimed happily.
Ben chimed in as well, "Other than seafood, there are eight famous dishes as well. We've got to eat them all."
Alex smiled as he listened to his siblings talking, but he did not join the conversation. He just went on to take his laptop and sat down.
While Molly was busy responding to the other two, she reminded Alex, "Alex, don't spend too much time on the computer. It's not good for your eyes."
"Sure, mommy."
Alex answered obediently, but his hands were moving fast, bypassing the firewall as he logged onto the hacker's intranet easily.
The Anderson family had already increased their offer to a billion dollars.
Alex thought, 'This man, who is probably my father, has a really deep pocket!'
However, the issue was not about the money but the mistaken luggage. How could he make his mom meet that man?
When his mom got pregnant unknowingly, she did not know who their father was when she gave birth to the three of them!
In order to search for his mom's husband and his siblings' dad, Alex was extremely worried!
Molly was unaware of her son's thoughts at that moment.
Suddenly, her phone rang on the table.
The person who called her was Grandpa Dave!
Molly immediately answered the call.
"Molly, why aren't you back yet? Didn't the plane land some time ago? Why haven't I seen you in the house?"
Grandpa Dave's voice sounded old and rich, and it was filled with concern and warmth on the other end of the phone.
Molly could not help but smile as she responded gently, "I'm in the hotel, grandpa. You should know that I don't want to stay in the May family's mansion!"
Grandpa Dave sighed when he heard Molly. "That's true... What's the point of coming back to a home like this? You'd just be sad if you came back, so it's better if you didn't. Anyway, when will you visit me with my three dearest great-grandchildren? I can't wait to meet them."
Molly took a look at the time and hesitated. "Grandpa, I came back this time to talk about calling off the engagement as well. It isn’t convenient for me to bring my children with me. I'll meet you first and bring you out to have a reunion with the three of them after the engagement is settled. What do you think? I'm going to stay for a while this time, so you can meet us every day."
Grandpa Dave was elated. "Sure! Hurry here. I'm waiting for you."
Molly smiled and said okay before hanging up the phone. She then told her three children.
"Mommy has to go somewhere now. I'll rush back to have dinner with you later. Don't wander around while I'm gone, okay?"
The three children listened diligently. "Got it, Mommy!"
Molly was still rather worried, so she told Alex, "Help me to look after your brother and sister. Don't let them mess around, okay?"
"Sure, mommy. I'll take care of them. Please be careful on your way there."
Alex told Molly with a stern expression.
Molly gave him a peck affectionately and walked out of the room.
While she was waiting for the elevator, the door to the presidential suite that was next to the elevator opened.
Tony pushed Sean out of the room and was about to head down to eat something.
When they reached the elevator, Sean's wheelchair stopped next to Molly as well.
Perhaps it was because Molly was a physician. She could not help but look at the man twice.
Sean initially just looked straight ahead of him.
When the elevator stopped, and its door opened, he saw the woman next to him move, bringing a gush of wind with her.
A herb-filled scent reached him, a scent that was exactly the same as the sachet they found in the luggage they had wrongly taken!
Sean squinted and acted fast as he immediately grabbed her wrist, saying, "Stand there!"
Molly was not expecting anyone to grab her at all, so she turned around, startled...
At that moment, she finally had a good look at the man in the wheelchair.
The man had an extremely alluring face!
His features were so sharp that he looked like he was from heaven. He had a pair of elongated fox eyes that were dark as the night sky and deep like the ocean. Under his sharp nose were his thin lips. He was wearing a black suit that showed off his broad shoulders and slim waist. Even his long, slender legs looked beautiful under the envelope of his slacks.
Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his strong presence could not be masked.
'What a strikingly charming prince!'
Though Molly was in awe, she did not show it on her face. She just looked at the hand gripping her wrist and asked flatly, "What's the matter?"
Sean was aware that he was slightly impulsive after he heard Molly's question. He just grabbed her without confirming anything.
However, the scent was more apparent now that the both of them were close to each other.
'As expected, she smelled exactly like the sachet!'
Sean felt that things could not be this coincidental, so he examined Molly with his sharp eyes and asked, "This scent of yours, where did you get it?"
Molly was stunned as she frowned and thought to herself, 'This man looked like a decent person, but could he be a pervert? How could he just come up to me and ask about my scent?!'
Molly pulled back her arm coldly and told Sean, "Mister, since you are already unable to walk, please behave yourself. Don't think you can ask people such offensive questions just because you are in a wheelchair! You are lucky it's me. If you went up to someone else... I guess that person would've already called the police and reported you for sexual harassment!"
Sean was taken aback when he heard what Molly said. His face then darkened at the very next second. "What did you say?"
'Sexual harassment?
'Did this woman just say that I had committed sexual harassment?'
He, Sean Anderson, had never gotten close to any woman in the twenty-six years of his life. So when had he ever been accused of such things?
'This woman was asking for death!' Sean thought.
At that moment, Sean furrowed his brows, looking quite intimidating.
But Molly was not afraid of him at all as she continued coldly, "Am I wrong? You are asking a woman about her smell as soon as you meet her. If you aren't a pervert, who is?"
"You are reckless!"
Tony immediately yelled at her after listening to their conversation.
He was shocked to see such a courageous woman!
'How dare she accuse my boss of being a pervert who committed sexual harassment?!
'She was, indeed, asking for death!'
"Do you know who he is? How dare you talk to him like this?"
"No, I don't, and I'm not interested to know either..."
Molly was not really a tolerable person as well.
She still had to return to the May Residence and deal with those repulsive people. She was already frustrated before she bumped into this man, so she was quite harsh with her words. "Besides, this man is the one who offended me first. Am I not allowed to bear such a thought?"
After speaking, she did not want to stay any longer and turned to leave.
The elevator door closed immediately.
Tony stood on the spot and gaped. "This woman is outrageous!"
He then comforted Sean, saying, "Sir, don't take that woman's words to heart."
Sean had a cold expression, so his voice was equally cold as well. He ordered Tony, "Look her up and get her details. Check which room she lives in as well. She might be the one who wrongly took our luggage."
That was when Tony finally came to a realization.
'So that's why my boss grabbed that woman voluntarily!'
He immediately responded, "Sure, I'm on it."
At the same time, in the hotel room.
Although Molly had reminded her three children to not wander around, the active Ben could not control himself anymore, though Molly had just left for less than ten minutes.
He tugged on the hem of Alex's shirt and suggested, "Alex, let's go out and play, okay? Mommy isn't coming home anytime soon, and I heard that there's a lot of entertainment in this hotel. The adult games are open for children as well. I want to check it out!"
Claudia jumped to them after hearing what Ben had said and acted cute to Alex as she pulled his arm. "I'm hungry, Alex. I want to eat something. I've done my research before we came here. This hotel offers food for 24 hours, and I heard that their afternoon tea is great. I want to try it out. Could you go with me?"
Alex already expected his siblings to lose control of themselves, so he just typed away on his keyboard calmly as he responded, "Each of you has different suggestions, and I can't fulfill both. Choose one among yourselves!"
Ben and Claudia listened to Alex as they exchanged looks.
Ben immediately pulled a long face and said, "When will mommy change the 'ladies first' rule? Good things never come to me!"
Claudia comforted him with a smile. "Being courteous to women is what a gentleman should do. You've got to get used to this, Ben!"
Alex also knocked on Ben's head as he consoled him, "You will have your turn soon. We can ask mommy to bring us there when she gets back...... As for now, let's bring Claudia to eat! However, I have an important task for Claudia after we're done eating!"
"What task?"
Claudia inched closer diligently as she asked.
Alex pointed at the red dot on the computer screen, saying, "There's a tracking device in mom's luggage. I tracked it down just now and found that her luggage is in this exact hotel, which means... The CEO of Anderson Corporation is very likely to stay in this hotel as well. While we're eating later, think of a way to approach him. Then, pretend that you are lost. When mom comes back, I'll bring her to find you! That will create a chance for them to meet each other!"
Claudia obviously did not know what had happened at the airport, so she looked rather confused.
So, Ben explained everything to her.
After listening to Ben, Claudia's eyes sparkled. "Are you saying that the man, who was probably our 'daddy,' stays here?"
Alex nodded, "Yup."
"That's amazing! I didn't expect to meet daddy so soon!"
Claudia immediately cheered and patted her chest as she guaranteed, "Don't worry, leave this to me. I'll definitely complete this mission!"
"Good girl."
Alex tapped on her cheeks lovingly.
Then, the three of them kept away their stuff and walked downstairs...
At the same time, Molly was still on her way to the May Residence, completely unaware of her three children's plan.
After twenty minutes or so, she arrived at the May family's mansion.
Molly got down from the car and looked at the familiar building that was not far from her. It was just like yesterday.
The embarrassment of getting kicked out by her own father and the despair and helplessness of having nowhere to go... Everything was still vivid in her memory!
Molly's heart was filled with emotions, and she had to take some time to calm herself down.
She took a deep breath and was about to press the doorbell. Suddenly, a Porsche sports car parked behind her.
The driver horned and poked his head out from the driver's seat. He had an elegantly handsome face and was asking her, "Miss, are you here to see someone from the May family?"
Molly looked in the direction of the voice and realized that the person who was talking to her was her ex-fiancé, Adam Herring!
The funny thing was...he seemed to not know that she was Molly May...
Adam really did not recognize her!
He came to the May family today because he heard that the country bumpkin was back, so he could not wait to cancel their engagement.
However, he did not expect to bump into a beauty with a killer figure in front of the May Residence's door as soon as he arrived!
Adam greeted Molly with what he thought was gentleman-like and was also flashing her his signature elegant smile!
When Molly saw it, she only found him utterly pretentious.
Back then, she was not exposed to society much when she came to the city. So, she thought Adam was the most outstanding man she had known in her life. For that reason, she fell in love with him and accepted the engagement.
Six years ago, what did this man say after her name was tarnished?
"Molly May, where did you get the confidence to even think that I'll marry you? Why don't you have a good look at yourself? You are old-fashioned and tasteless. I'm going to be embarrassed if I marry you! I tolerated you because of our family. Now that you are filthy, do you still expect me to want you? Piss off! You better act like you don't know me the next time we meet."
His insults were ringing in her ear back then. Now, the same man was flirting with her.
Molly sneered in secret as she looked away coldly, not even bothering to respond to him.
She reached out to press the doorbell as she waited for someone to open the door.
Adam was stunned when he saw it.
The Herring family was rather notable in Northfolk, so he had a name to himself in the upper-class circle. People call him the elegant man, so there were not many women who were not interested in him, let alone showing him such a disdainful expression.
He was in disbelief, so he immediately got down from the car and walked toward Molly as he asked gently, "Miss, who are you looking for in the May family? Is it Mr. or Mrs. May? Or is it Ms. May? If so, you might have to wait for a while as they're still on their way back here."
Molly was shocked to hear that.
'Walter and the rest of them weren't home?'
'Great!
'That way, I can visit grandpa before I deal with the revocation of the engagement.'
While she was still in her thoughts, the May Residence's door opened.
Leonardo Bernard, the butler, was the one who opened the door!
The old man immediately recognized Molly as he smiled warmly. "Ms. Molly, you are finally here. Grandpa Dave has been nagging for some time. Hurry in."
Molly nodded and walked in, unbothered to spare Adam a glance.
Adam was gaping as if he had received the biggest blow in his life. He then asked Leonardo, "What did you call her just now?"
Leonardo responded coldly, "Ms. Molly... She's the real heiress of the May family, Ms. Molly May!"
Adam's eyes widened in shock, and his face was filled with disbelief.
'How is this possible?!'
'The woman back there was Molly? The country bumpkin?!'
