The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 505 The Secret

Randall's face lit up with a grin.

The crew had been yapping for ages, and it was only when they heard Susan holler that they hit pause on their convo.

Randall got up, strolled over to Susan, and grabbed her wrist. "Hold up, the more you mess with it, the worse it'll get."

Before Susan could even get a word out, Randall already knew why she called him over.

Susan peered at Randall, who was now close enough to touch the spot under her left eye.

Randall's deep eyes zeroed in on Susan's long lashes. He gently brushed them with his fingertip. Then, his gaze locked with Susan's clear eyes.

Susan stared at Randall without blinking, her eyes as clear as a pool of water.

He noticed Susan's left eye was a bit red. Taking advantage of her distraction, he blew on her eye.

"Randall, why'd you blow on me?" Susan immediately shut her eyes.

Then, Randall tapped her forehead.

"Dummy, you got an eyelash stuck in your eye." Randall glanced at Susan's long lashes. "The longest one is gone now. Doesn't that make you look worse?" Susan stayed quiet.

It was getting late, and Randall remembered Susan yawning earlier. He said, "We should bounce. She's got class tomorrow."

Randall took Susan's hand and led her out. It was already dark.

At this hour, both the Olteran family and Cherry Villa had finished dinner, so there was nowhere to eat.

Randall drove Susan back to the city and hit up his usual spot.

"Randall, are you a hacker?" Susan asked innocently as she sat in the restaurant.

Randall paused his hand that was wiping the table. He looked at Susan for a long while before finally saying, "Nah, I'm not."

Susan pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth, remembering Randall's earlier warning not to let those people know her electronic and identity info. So she asked again, "Are the people you were talking with today hackers?" Randall replied, "Some of them are."

Susan seemed to get it, but also not. Vera had taught her that girls should keep 30% of their thoughts a mystery from boys.

But Susan couldn't keep any secrets from Randall. She guessed and then spilled everything. "Randall, do you wanna study computer science, but Patrick doesn't want you to, so you do it on the down-low?"

Randall looked at Susan's clear, bright eyes and said, annoyed, "Stop guessing about me."

Susan pouted, knowing she had crossed Randall's line. "I'm sorry, Randall."

Randall finished wiping the table and poured Susan a glass of water. "Just you know, keep it to yourself."

Susan looked up at Randall's cold face and then smiled. "I will, Randall. I won't use this secret to make you do anything for me, and I'll keep your secret safe."

Randall also smiled, not wanting to scare Susan with his seriousness. "You're totally different from Molly and Vera." Susan was the most obedient and purest person Randall had ever met.

If Molly and Vera knew his secret, Vera would have him hack the Olteran Group's finance department and transfer all the money to her account.

Molly would have him hack the school's system to bump her grades to the top of the class.

"Randall, you're such a whiz with computers. Can you help me fix mine when we get back? It hasn't been used in forever and won't turn on," Susan said.

Randall asked, "Did you charge it?"

Susan went silent.

While munching, Susan thought of Vera and sent her a pic.

Susan: [Vera, you want some? Randall and I can bring it to you later.]

Vera looked at the table full of yummy food and swallowed hard.

She replied: [I can't eat now. Gotta feed Theodore. If I eat this, Teddy will get sick.]

Susan read Vera's reply and said, "Poor Vera. I'll ask Molly."

Soon, Molly showed up at the restaurant.

Abby had been trying to win over Zoey and Max lately, hoping to leave a good impression on them.

She had been crashing at the guesthouse and visiting Zoey and Max at the Chase family home whenever no one was around.

But she wanted to stay at the Chase family home, which Sebastian had explicitly forbidden.

Abby was smart and knew when to push and when to pull back.

She stopped mentioning moving into the Chase family home and kept doing her thing.

She had visited the hospital a few times, only to be chased away by Molly. Ellie had also gently scolded Molly a few times. But Molly's bossy nature stayed the same.

Whenever Abby tried to stand next to Sebastian, Molly would squeeze between them, holding Sebastian's arm and staking her claim. And Sebastian let her get away with it.

There was a nurse at the hospital who had a crush on Sebastian and would visit Ellie's room whenever she had the chance.

Whenever she ran into Sebastian, she would chat him up for a bit.

Ellie knew the nurse was into Sebastian, so after the nurse left, she said to Sebastian, "A cop and a nurse make a good match."

Sebastian replied, "Not a good match."

"Then who are you a good match with?"

Sebastian immediately thought of Molly.

Not long after, Molly showed up.

Molly brought dinner and casually asked, "Sebastian, Mom, what were you talking about?"

Sebastian deliberately said, "Mom wants me to be with a nurse."

Molly put down the dinner and looked at Ellie, who was resting in bed. "Ellie, are you feeling better? Does your wound not hurt anymore? Are you bored again?"

Ellie looked at Molly, puzzled. "Why am I bored again?"

Molly pointed at Ellie's hospital gown. "What did the doc say? Don't overwork yourself! With fewer company matters to worry about, you're now concerned about Sebastian's marriage. Do you think you're fully recovered just because you came out of the operating room?"

Ellie was scolded by Molly.

Molly then pointed at Sebastian, who was lounging on the sofa. "Sebastian is a cop and is rarely home. If you set him up with a nurse, who is also busy all the time, they won't see each other even once a week. Think they'll make it? And who's gonna take care of the kids when they have 'em?"

Ellie completely stopped talking.
