Chapter 600
Roy returned home. When his private jet landed at the airport, his parents had already been waiting for him for a long time. If it were just Roy coming back, they wouldnโt need to pick him up in person, but with Molly coming too, things were different. Royโs younger brother, Isaac, came along too. Isaac was born while Roy was still around, but when Roy went missing, Isaac was only four. Now, at six, he was really cute. He held a teddy bear and wore a little gentlemanโs suit. His hairstyle looked a bit silly, but he was still handsome.
Isaac asked, โMom, is big brother really back?โ
Lilian held his hand. โThatโs right.โ
Isaac adored Roy. He would video call Roy every day just to see him. After Roy went missing, Lilian didnโt dare tell Isaac the truth. Now that Roy was back, Isaac was over the moon and couldnโt wait.
Meanwhile, the cabin door opened, and Roy led Molly down from the plane. When he saw his parents and brother, he was so happy that he waved to them.
A tough woman like Molly felt a bit nervous meeting Royโs parents, but she never showed it. On the plane, she and Roy spent most of their time in bed. When she woke up, they were already in Wallington. Roy had woken her with a kiss. As he dressed her, Molly felt the oncoming wind sober her up a lot. Now, facing Royโs parents, she pressed her lips together.
Royโs parents were thrilled; after all, they had worried about him for two years. Lilian smacked Roy on the back. The force was harder than any time sheโd hit him before, but to Roy now, it felt like a tickle.
โMom, if you hit me like this, itโs you whoโll hurt,โ Roy said.
Lilian glared at him. She did feel her hand hurt a bit.
Jake, with a straight face, said, โItโs good that youโre back.โ
Roy smiled brightly, then said to them, โDad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, Molly.โ
Jake and Lilian had heard about how Roy had gone all out to chase Molly two years ago. Molly was far more outstanding than Roy. She was beautiful, rich, skilled in combat, brave, and resourceful. Now she was the leader of the Hill family, the top family in Ustrana, holding great power, and she was also friends with Shermaine.
โMomo, meet my dad and mom,โ Roy said, his voice softening when he spoke to Molly. โWeโre family now.โ
Molly smiled and greeted them; โHello, Iโm Molly.โ
Royโs parents took a real shine to Molly, so they quickly started chatting with her. When Isaac saw Molly, he realized Roy only had eyes for her and wasnโt paying him any attention. He pouted, clutching his teddy bear, and started sulking. While they were talking, Isaac huffed and said, โBig brother!โ Only then did Roy notice him.
Roy looked at Isaac and ruffled his hair. โItโs been two years, and youโve only grown a little bit?โ
Even though Roy said that, Isaac was happy to have his head patted. He hugged Royโs leg, โRoy, I missed you so much.โ As he hugged Roy, Isaac peered at Molly. Molly noticed that. She smiled and thought, โRoyโs little brother, he doesnโt seem to like me.โ
Roy looked at Isaac, clinging to his leg. He wasnโt overly excited about their reunion, but he was glad. Roy messed up Isaacโs hair, then gently pinched his cheek and said, โThis is my girlfriend, Molly. Go on, say hi to her.โ
Isaac let out a snort.
Roy frowned and said, โHurry up.โ
โHi, Molly,โ Isaac said, clearly reluctant.
Roy said, โThis is my little brother, Isaac.โ
Molly said, โHeโs very cute.โ
When Roy heard that, he stared straight at Molly, then pinched her waist. โMomo, Iโm cuter than him.โ
Isaac even started to wonder if this was really his brother.
Molly wanted to laugh but had to pretend to be serious, saying, โStop fooling around.โ
It was the first time Royโs parents had seen him like this; heโd never been so affectionate with them. He hadnโt been a cute kid when he was little, and every time they thought back to his mischievous childhood, they just felt at a loss.
On the way back to Shay Villa, Roy never let go of Mollyโs hand. Isaac was so jealous. He loved Roy so much that he couldnโt stand Roy only focusing on Molly.
When Roy saw that Lilian had prepared a room for Molly, he said, โMom, no need to get a room for Momo. Weโll share one.โ
โOh, no.โ Lilian disagreed. โYou two arenโt married yet. And stop clinging to Momo all the time; youโre taking up all her time to talk to us. Isaacโs already a bit upset that youโre ignoring him. Go and cheer him up.โ
Roy shrugged it off, saying, โThat kidโs easy to please with a piece of candy.โ He still insisted, โMom, Iโm sharing a room with Momo. I canโt sleep without her.โ
So he went to the guest room and moved all of Mollyโs luggage to his own room.
Lilian thought Roy seemed to have been spoiled rotten.
Meanwhile, Molly was playing chess with Jake and chatting. Molly could keep up with all of Jakeโs topics, so he grew more and more satisfied with her. He thought his son was incredibly lucky to have Molly.
After Molly finished playing chess with Jake, Shermaine called her. โHowโs it going?โ Shermaine asked.
Molly chuckled, โRoyโs parents are really nice.โ After a pause, she added, โBut his little brother doesnโt seem to like me much.โ
โOh, a lot of kids look up to their older brothers and sisters,โ Shermaine said.
That seemed odd to Molly. Her own siblings had been scheming and competing with each other since they were little; there was no real bond between them.
Molly asked, โHow do I win that kid over?โ
Shermaine thought for a moment and said, โIf Roy wants to be alone with you, take his brother along. If he wants his big brother, let Roy go to him.โ
Molly thought about it and took the advice. โGot time to meet tomorrow?โ
Shermaine replied, โHenryโs treating. He already sent the address to Roy, just come tomorrow afternoon."
The Shay family was getting along wonderfully. By dinner time, lots of people had come, all of Royโs relatives.
Everyone took a liking to Molly, except Isaac.
Molly could hold her liquor better than even the heaviest drinkers in the Shay family. She was a bit tipsy, but sheโd sober up soon enough. She went upstairs to drink some yogurt to sober up.
Earlier that afternoon, Roy had moved her luggage to his room, so she went straight into Royโs room.
The cabinet was full of models, and his closet had so many shoes it was dazzling. The whole room had a faint, cozy feel.
Roy had just gotten out of the shower when he saw Molly flipping through his photo album. He walked over. โMomo, Iโm so happy.โ
Molly was tickled by his nuzzling and was about to say something when Roy kissed her. She was about to kiss back when she saw Isaac at the door in his teddy bear pajamas. She said, โRoy, your brotherโs here.โ
Roy turned to see Isaac and asked, โWhy arenโt you in bed?โ
Isaac said, โI want to sleep with you.โ
