The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Patrick nodded with satisfaction, raised his arm, and put it around Vera's shoulder as they entered the living room.

Molly and Shawn were among the few who hadn't criticized by Patrick, and both of them felt uneasy.

Shawn stopped playing with his phone, and Molly instinctively looked for her support, changing her seat on the couch.

To a girl, it was the safest to sit next to her father.

So, Molly sat next to Shawn.

She asked, "Dad, are you scared?"

Shawn said to Molly, "Don't worry, I will protect you. Patrick can criticize me, but he can't criticize my precious daughter right in front of me." Molly was touched.

Shawn and Molly seemed to have forgotten about last night's events.

When Vincent sat on the couch, he patted the seat next to him for Randall, asking, "Did you spend the whole day at home again?" Randall replied, "I went out and dealt with a couple of troublesome people."

Vincent glanced in Cindy's direction but said nothing.

Vera asked Patrick, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

Patrick replied, "Tomorrow is all about spending time with you."

Vera smiled, saying, "You still remember."

Vera had already made an appointment with a hairstylist for the next day.

Today, Vera had looked at many hair accessories online but didn't find any she liked.

Vera called Molly and Cindy to look with her.

Suddenly, an ad popped up on Vera's phone, and she accidentally clicked on it.

Unexpectedly, the theme inside caught Vera's attention.

Vera looked at her phone, her gaze shifting between Shawn and Randall.

Then, Vera sent the ad link to the family group chat.

Hearing their phones buzz simultaneously, everyone took out their phones to see what was in the group chat. "Molly, check your phone."

Molly looked, too.

Randall read quickly and burst into wild laughter, "The survey shows that baldness skips a generation. Vera, your future son..." Laughing, Randall suddenly stopped.

Randall looked up at his family members, seeing everyone staring at him.

They all fell silent.

Randall asked a silly question, "Am I also a skipped generation from my grandpa?"

Then, everyone except Randall burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Even Cindy laughed at Randall's stupidity.

Shawn was also amused.

Although Shawn should have been angry, he couldn't help but laugh at Randall's foolishness.

Randall was so focused on the possibility of Vera's future son going bald that he forgot he was also Shawn's grandson. Randall said angrily, "I'll go bald in the future!"

Vera laughed, holding her stomach. "Why do you think I sent this to the group?"

Patrick was also amused by Randall.

Unintentional misunderstandings often brought the most laughter.

After a while, Randall felt embarrassed. "Stop laughing, what's so funny?"

Vera said, "Randall, I'm going to get my hair done tomorrow. Do you want to come with me for a hair transplant?" Randall retorted, "Get lost."

He picked up his phone and left the room.

After Randall left, Vera looked up at Patrick's thick hair, saying, "I don't have to worry about my husband." Patrick took Vera back to the bedroom. Choosing a hairstyle was something they could do together in bed. Vincent and Cindy also went back to their room.

In the bedroom, Cindy was still laughing. "Honey, do you think our son has a problem with intelligence?" Vincent: "We had him checked when he was born, and there are no issues."

In his room, Randall started frantically searching. "Does baldness skip a generation? How to prevent baldness?"

In Cindy's bedroom.

While Vincent was washing up, he asked Cindy, "Did those two people call you again today?"

Cindy's laughter stopped abruptly. She pursed her lips and nodded. "From his tone, it seems serious this time. Our son wouldn't let me go, so he went and even handled the discharge procedures." Vincent wiped his face with a towel and walked out. "If you don't want to deal with these things, let our son handle them. He's more capable than you."

Thinking of Randall, Cindy felt a warmth in her heart, realizing for the first time the usefulness of having a son.

"I don't want their mess to affect our son's future."

Vincent said, "Don't underestimate Randall. He may seem slow, but he's not clueless when it comes to important matters."

Randall had grown up being disciplined by Patrick, learning principles and how to handle things. Even if he only picked up a fraction of Patrick's qualities, he wouldn't do anything foolish. Cindy didn't dwell on the matter with Vincent. Once discharged, she wouldn't care anymore.

Late at night, Vera finally narrowed down three hairstyles. She planned to try them all at the salon the next day.

Before sleeping, Vera lifted her head, and Patrick's arm automatically lowered.

Patrick and Vera embraced, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Patrick and Vera went out.

They had planned to take Molly with them, but she said, "I have exams coming up, so I need to stay home and study." Vera bit her lip, cursing, "You've become shameless too."

As soon as Patrick and Vera left, Sebastian called Molly, "Are you home?"

"Yes, Sebastian, what's up?"

Sebastian said, "Get dressed. I'll pick you up to study at the library."

Molly thought, 'All right, I really have to study now.'

Molly got dressed, grabbed her study materials, and walked out of the living room.

Under the watchful eyes of the Olteran family, Molly said, "Dad, Vincent, Cindy, I'm going to the library to study."

Shawn looked at the motivated Molly and felt proud of her ambition.

After Molly left, Cindy and Vincent looked at the idle Randall.

Randall said, "Only those who are bad at studying need to cram. I don't."

Vincent asked, "Didn't Patrick tell you to get certified?"

Randall replied, "Fine, I'll go study."

He grabbed a book and pretended to drive out to study.

When Vera returned in the afternoon, her whole demeanor had changed. She used to be lively and cute, but now, with a new hairstyle, she looked gentle and charming. The side bangs made Vera look more mature and alluring, and her eyebrows were shaped, too.

Vera was very pleased with her transformation and showed Cindy, asking, "Cindy, how do you like my new hairstyle?"

The hair was slightly curled at the ends, looking naturally wavy and not messy even without styling. A simple hand comb would make it look natural again.

The soft, fluffy hair, combined with Vera's face, made her look much gentler.

Cindy generously praised Vera, "This hairstyle suits you very well. You look like a grown-up now."

A hairstyle could change a person's demeanor, but it couldn't change their nature.

Looking at Vera's face, Randall firmly believed this.

Patrick heard about Sebastian taking Molly out to study and remembered that exams were coming up for them.

Patrick didn't have much faith in Vera's intellect.
