Crossroads Confessions by Deirdre Augus novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 

On Christmas Eve, Molly found herself in a rather awkward situation

She had been standing on the roadside, waiting for a car to take her home, when suddenly, a sapphire blue Lamborghini sped towards her. Terrified, Molly thought someone was trying to kill her. But then, the car screeched to a halt, and a familiar small figure jumped out

Molly, why did you come all the way to Carlorium? I’ve been looking for you all day. So, you and my dad secretly came here on vacationHow could you forget about me?Andy had tracked her down to Caclorium

Molly’s face flushed with embarrassment at the child’s innocent question. No, it’s not what you thinkshe stammered, desperately looking to the man beside her for support. But Scott, with a gentle smile, just patted his son’s head and said, We’re going home now. He offered no further explanation

Meanwhile, Vincent, who had driven Andy there, smiled and gave Molly an even more suggestive look. Molly thought to herself, Great, now there’s no way to clear this up

Since Vincent had driven there, Molly and Scott didn’t need to wait for a car. However, driving back from Caclorium to Havencrest would take at least four hours, whereas Scott and Molly had flown over by plane

Nothing better to do?Scott asked as he got into the driver’s seat of Vincent’s flashy Lamborghini

You think I enjoy driving so many miles by myself? It’s all because of your son. He was worried sick, saying Molly was missing. Your parents said you were on a business trip. They asked me if I knew where you were, so I spent the whole day driving around, exhausted. What kind of Christmas is this? I only had a burger. He even ate it while driving, quite miserable. Vincent complained, stretching and relaxing in the passenger seat. He gave a cheeky glance at the rearview mirror and grinned. Did not expect you two to actually be together 

Vincent was blunt, and Scott, driving calmly, raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Sitting in the back seat, Molly overheard. their conversation and felt increasingly embarrassed

Molly, I’ve finished half of the dominoes you gave meAndy, also in the back seat, scooted closer to Molly, suddenly much more affectionate after not seeing her for a few days

You’ve already done 5,000 pieces?she asked

Andy nodded proudly. It’s easy. I just find some space in my roam and work on it a bit each day

I was worried 10,000 pieces would be too hard,” she said

Andy, getting even more excited, responded, I’ll finish them all by tomorrow.” 

Molly smiled and pinched his cheek. You’re so amazing.” 

It’s really simple,Andy said, confidently accepting the praise

The two men in the front stayed silent. Vincent cast a meaningful glance at Scott, who was driving, and mouthed, Looks like you’ll be working overtime.” 

Scott kept his eyes on the road, revealing a hint of resignation

His son was too boastful. The dominoes were painstakingly assembled by him and Andy, who had worked late into the night to get halfway done. Yet, Andy claimed he could finish them all by tomorrow. Scott thought his son was getting more shameless by the day, Scott intended to drive home even a bit hard. But given the traffic on Christmas, Vincent wasn’t willing to. I’m hungry, Vincent, sitting in the passenger seat, yelled without any regard for his image

In the backseat, Andy had secretly stashed away a bag of fries and handed it to Molly as if to please her. Molly, these are for

you. They’re a bit cold but still tasty.” 

Tm not hungry. You eat them,she replied

Vincent turned his head, glaring at them, but Andy, in his childish voice, said, We’re men, and men aren’t afraid of hunger.” 

What did that mean? If men weren’t afraid of hunger, were those who were not men? Vincent thought, feeling a pang of pain. This little boy was so cunning at such a young age

Scott, this is the good son you’ve raised, Vincent grumbled. He had driven Andy around all day, yet the boy had hidden a bag of fries and not shared them, showing no gratitude

Vincent was full of resentment, thinking, Scott is a schemer, and Andy is a little schemer. They’re all deceitful. Damn, if 1 had known. I wouldn’t have meddled in their family affairs. My Christmas is ruined

Turning a corner, Scott casually retorted, Vincent, if you’re so capable, go have a kid yourself.” 

If I had a son, he wouldn’t be so terrifying. Vincent muttered under his breath

Understanding Vincent’s feelings, Molly interjected, Children de take after their parents. If I had a child, they’d be well- behavedShe couldn’t help but critique

Ah, you don’t like me?Andy, quickwitted, looked at her with his big, bright eyes, a bit anxious

Scott seemed to care about Molly’s casual remark and glanced at her sharply through the rearview mirror

Feeling awkward. Molly quickly corrected herself, I meant if Stephanie had a child, they’d be very lively and tough” 

Vincent, horrified, imagined it and sighed, StephanieThat would be more than just terrifying.” 

Everyone paused for a second and then burst into laughter

To avoid Vincent’s constant yelling, Scott wisely found a restaurant along the road to have a meal before continuing

Didn’t expect my Christmas dinner to be fast food,Vincent said, plopping down into a seat and grabbing Andy’s cold fries, eating them ravenously. Despite his maturity, Andy loved fast food too. Scott took his son to order a kids meal

While waiting for the food, Molly watched Vincent’s comical eating and teased. Why didn’t you go out for Christmas?”
