Roy didn’t want to sleep with Isaac at all. But Isaac’s expression made it clear that if he dared to refuse, Isaac would burst into loud cries. Isaac seemed to believe that Roy wouldn’t sleep with him anymore now that he had Molly.
Roy was about to say no when Molly spoke up, “Go sleep with your little brother.”
Roy froze. “Momo, I–”
Molly covered his mouth with her hand. “Listen to me, be with your little brother.”
Roy was reluctant, but he had to listen to Molly.
Isaac was over the moon, and he was grateful to Molly, too. So he happily stepped forward, grabbed Roy’s hand and said, “Roy, come sleep with me. I still want to hear a bedtime story. You tell me one.”
Just like that, Roy was dragged away. Molly ignored Roy’s look. To go out for breakfast and get a facial with Lilian early the next morning, she took out her pajamas, went to take a shower, and planned to go to bed early.
While soaking in the bath, she scrolled through the chat history in the group with her phone.
Molly saw Danielle send six periods, then tag Shermaine.
Shermaine replied with a question mark.
Danielle: [I didn’t have any chance to use your handcuffs on Ross at all.]
Shermaine sent a laughing-out-loud emoji.
Danielle: [Next time, don’t send me your condoms, and don’t give any to Ross even if he asks.]
Shermaine: [Can’t you resist him at all?]
Danielle pretended not to see Shermaine’s teasing. It wasn’t that she was too weak to resist Ross, but Ross’ skills and the condoms made her have to beg for mercy.
Molly got curious. Molly: [What condoms?]
Shermaine quickly sent the condom instructions and asked if Molly needed some.
Molly read the instructions with great interest, then agreed with Shermaine.
Danielle: [Ms. Hill, good for you.]
Molly: [Roy doesn’t want kids.]
They kept chatting until the water turned cold, and Molly got out of the bathtub. She dried herself and applied body lotion.
By then, she was sober from the alcohol, but sleepiness hit her. Molly wasn’t picky about beds; she lay down and fell asleep soon after.
In the next room, Roy kept telling stories, but Isaac just wouldn’t sleep. He kept excitedly sharing his daily life with Roy.
Roy said, “Close your eyes and go to sleep quickly.”
Isaac pouted. “Roy, you’re so mean.”
Roy said helplessly, “It’s really late now. I’ll play with you tomorrow. I’ve been on the plane all day, and I’m tired too.”
Hearing that, Isaac obediently closed his eyes. He was actually very sleepy, but he wanted to chat more with Roy, so he forced himself to stay awake. Before long, Isaac fell asleep too, but his hand was still clutching Roy’s shirt hem.
Roy lay beside him and, in the end, decided to stay with his little brother for the night. But in the middle of the night, discomfort made him carefully pry Isaac’s hand away, and then he ran back to his own room.
Roy lay down on the bed and soon woke Molly, who was sleeping soundly. When Molly opened her eyes, she felt Roy get in.
“Momo, can you sleep a bit later?” he said.
Molly let out a muffled hum. “Roy, you’ve already started, so why ask me?”
Roy murmured, “I just miss you.” He was addicted to her, wanting to be by her side 24 hours a day.
Molly’s eyes grew a little hazy. She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, “I have to get up early tomorrow. Don’t go too far.”
This spring was wonderful. In the morning, Molly and Lilian had breakfast and got facials together. In the afternoon, they went with Roy to meet Shermaine and the others for a gathering.
Roy didn’t want to take Isaac out, but Molly insisted. So Isaac sat happily in the car, didn’t seem so hostile to Molly anymore, and even quietly gave Molly his favorite candy.
At Moonlight Villa, Henry looked a bit glum. Roy had already won Molly over, but he was still single. He wondered if he might stay single forever.
This gathering had hurt his feelings. He and his friends were all good-looking guys, but only Henry couldn’t find a girlfriend. When Henry saw Roy showing off, he couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
Henry wasn’t short of women around him, but none of them made his heart race. He didn’t even know what kind of woman he liked.
“Henry, you’re the only one without a girlfriend. Are you jealous?” Roy came over to tease Henry.
Henry clicked his tongue and said, “Don’t you start.”
Roy laughed loudly. It used to be Henry teasing him, but now it was finally his turn to mock Henry.
Henry said, “If you laugh again, we’re not friends anymore.”
Roy laughed even louder. Henry was completely speechless.
Meanwhile, Shermaine was playing cards with Molly and the others. As a beginner, Molly had already lost two million dollars, but she’d become really interested in the game.
Just then, Joshua walked into the game room, followed by a man. “Shermaine, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zachary Gray, director of the Wallington National Defense Department in Technology.”
“Shermaine, hello. Could I borrow a little of your time to talk about something serious?” Zachary said.
Hearing that, Shermaine said calmly, “Mr. York, take my place for a while.” Then she followed Zachary out.
Zachary had come mainly because satellites had detected a special energy coming from the Pacific Ocean. After that energy shot out of Earth, it kept traveling in one direction. Unfortunately, the satellites weren’t capable enough to track where that beam ended up.
Later, Moranta’s satellite accidentally captured an image of a human. After analysis by the United Nations, it was confirmed to be Shermaine. The United Nations representative then contacted Wallington.
They were confused why Shermaine would be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and they were also very interested in the mecha she was piloting.
Shermaine explained Faye’s story in detail and didn’t hide that the mecha she piloted was from another world.
After explaining, she didn’t give Zachary time to process it, and added, “I was planning to contact the Wallington government myself later, but I didn't expect you were faster.
“About the invasion in twenty years, I think we need to prepare for it. So, before that, we need to speed up Earth’s development. I’ve already made a plan.
“You can share this secret with the United Nations, to let scientists master a higher level of technological civilization as soon as possible. I’m willing to send them to that world to study, but there are only 30 spots.”
Zachary asked, “How many spots will you give to Wallington?”
Shermaine favored her own country. “Three to five. You can arrange the people, but the team leader must be someone from me.” As for who to put in charge, she was a bit torn, so she needed to discuss it with Joshua.
