Chapter 10 Who Did You Sleep With That Night

• Shocked by the whimsical idea that entered his mind, Christopher shook his head mockingly. He had already investigated Grace’s background, and there was no information about her having given birth before. Moreover, she came to the Knight Residence because of Edward, not for Molly.
• At that moment, Molly lifted her head and saw him. Then, she skipped over to him. “Daddy, you’re back! Come; quickly come and see the cake I made!”
• She pulled him along with her as she walked over to the counter they were working on and pointed at a Briar-shaped cake on the counter with a proud expression.
• Meanwhile, Grace tactfully took a step back. “Hello, President Knight.”
• Christopher nodded his head in response.
• “Daddy, hurry up and look at it. Is the cake I made pretty?” Molly tugged at his sleeves, acting cute. It seemed like she had completely forgotten about what had transpired this morning.
• Thus, he couldn’t help glancing over at Grace. I can’t believe this pâtissière is so good at parenting.
• “Daddy, hurry up and look at it!” Molly urged him again.
• Then, he looked at the Briar-shaped cake that looked passably like the actual thing and gave her a thumbs-up gesture approvingly. “Molly, you are so amazing! Did you do this yourself?”
• “Miss Grace taught me! But, I did the rest myself.” Her expression was proud and her eyes shone with confidence.
• Dotingly wiping away the spot of butter on the tip of her nose, he said, “Molly, you’re such a big girl now. You learned how to make cakes! Your great-grandma and the others will surely be pleasantly surprised when they return.
• Mr. Knight and Madam Knight were accompanying Grand Madam Knight to visit their relatives in their hometown and pray to their ancestors for the next few days. Moreover, the air in the countryside was cleaner. So, they planned to stay there for a while before returning.
• “When Grandpa, Grandma, and the others come back, I’m going to personally make each of them a big cake. Also, I’m going to draw a rainbow on it.” Molly looked excited.
• “Sure, I’ll support you.”
• “Miss Grace said that if I become a humble and polite girl, you’ll reward me. Is that true?” When she said that, she glanced at Christopher with a look full of expectation.
• Upon hearing those words, Christopher looked over at Grace.
• At that moment, Grace had her head lowered as she wiped at the butter on her apron. When she heard Molly mentioning her, she raised her head in surprise, and her gaze coincidentally met his. Shocked, she hurriedly explained, “Um… President Knight, it was like this… When I arrived just now, Molly was crying very sadly. If a child cries for too long, it will affect their mental and physical health. So, I-I just wanted to comfort her.”
• He raised her brow at her. “You don’t need to explain; you did a good job!”
• “Huh?” For a moment, Grace felt rather uncomfortable upon receiving his affirmation out of nowhere.
• Then, Christopher stopped paying attention to her and turned around to ask Molly, “What kind of reward do you want, Molly?”
• Molly tilted her head to the side and pondered it for a moment. “I want you to bring me to the amusement park on Sunday, Daddy.”
• “Sure, no problem.” Then, he hugged his daughter and planted a kiss on her forehead.
• “Pinky promise; Daddy, you can’t break your promise!”
• “Okay, let’s pinky promise.” There was a doting smile on his lips as he held her tender, small hands.
• Grace thought that she had seen it wrongly. I can’t believe that President Knight can smile too! Moreover, he looks so handsome when he smiles…
• When Christopher came out of the house, Jake, who was acting as his driver, was waiting for him in the car.
• Despite being the president of MoonMoon Home, I’m being forced to be a mere driver! I can’t believe that evil exploiter actually did this!
• “You were inside for so long; don’t tell me Molly was still throwing a tantrum?” At first, Jake had intended to follow Christopher inside too. However, when he thought about the child’s screaming and wailing, he got a headache from it.
• “No, Molly was making a cake.”
• “Making a cake? Even though you prevented her from meeting with Bethany, she got over it so quickly?” He widened his eyes in surprise.
• “She’s still a child. With proper guidance, she will quickly forget about Bethany.” Then, Christopher indicated for him to drive.
• After Jake started the car, he couldn’t help looking back at the Knight Residence. “That pâtissière is very unusual!”
• “What do you mean?” Christopher looked confused.
• After that, Jake vividly relayed everything that had occurred this morning to him. Toward the end, he even praised Grace, “It’s been so many years. It was so rare to see Bethany suffering a loss and having to apologize. That was truly a pleasing sight to behold!”
• After listening to Jake’s words, Christopher couldn’t help frowning as he mulled over it.
• Should I continue keeping somebody like that beside Molly?
• Jake noticed that he wasn’t saying anything, so he curiously asked, “I’ve always wanted to ask you this: what’s the story behind Molly? I never heard of you having a girlfriend before, so how did you suddenly end up with a daughter who is nearly seven years old?”
• Christopher shot a glare at him.
• “Could it be that what Edward mentioned was true? Were you drugged by Bethany seven years ago?” Glancing at the rearview mirror and seeing the unnatural expression on Christopher’s face, Jake exclaimed, “That can’t be right… If Bethany tried to plot against you back then, then Molly should be her child. But, Molly and Bethany aren’t related at all…”
• Christopher couldn’t be bothered to answer him. He got out of the car, walked into the office building, and went to his office. On the other hand, Jake followed after him, talking non-stop.
• In the end, Christopher couldn’t stand it anymore and snarled, “Are you very free? MoonMoon Home has just been established; have you completed the advertising work? Did you finish the cooperative business negotiations? I asked you to headhunt the most famous interior designer in the country, Nia Norris. What’s the progress on that? Where is she? If you’ve completed all these, I can further arrange—”
• “I’m going! I’m going back to work right now!” Jake immediately lifted his hands to surrender. However, upon reaching the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, “It can’t be that you don’t even know who you slept with that night, right?”
• “Get lost!”
