The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

After he finished his drink, Patrick poured another glass of warm water and brought it to Vera's lips.

Too lazy to reach out, Vera took a few sips straight from Patrick's hand.

Theodore, now full, turned his head and watched Vera drink with curiosity.

The computer still showed surveillance images, but Patrick let Vera and Theodore play while he finally got down to work. To avoid bothering Patrick, Vera took Theodore to the lounge.

She placed him on the bed and tapped his lower lip, "Did you cry today and give your dad a hard time?"

Theodore looked at Vera, who was chatting with him, and responded.

"Why are you so good at this? Did your dad hit you?" Vera asked.

Theodore started to shout again.

"Did he hit you?" Vera asked once more.

Theodore waved his limbs, and Vera kept talking to herself, "Did your dad hit you like that? Would Patrick really hit you?"

Theodore immediately let out a loud cry, as if determined to frame Patrick.

Vera burst into laughter, "Is Patrick really that bad?"

Outside the office, Patrick leaned back in his chair, watching the screen, completely unaware that Theodore was badmouthing him. After a while, the meeting ended, and he closed his laptop.

Randall returned and immediately asked, "Patrick, where's Theodore?"

Vera came out of the lounge holding Theodore, "Hey Randall, you went to the meeting today, right?"

Randall cursed, "Get lost! If it weren't for Theodore crying and causing a scene, it wouldn't have been my turn... I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Randall's attitude changed quickly as Patrick slowly appeared beside him.

Patrick just walked up to Randall who chickened out, leaving Patrick quite pleased with his intimidation skills.

Vera laughed even harder.

Randall, not convinced, glared at Vera, stepped forward, snatched Theodore from her arms, and said, "You're just riding on someone else's coattails."

"Say it louder if you dare," Vera smiled at him.

Randall sat on the sofa, holding Theodore, "Why aren't you crying now? You were crying so energetically before. Come on, cry a bit more for me. Let me tell you, because of you, I have to... Vera, Theodore spit up!" In the office, Randall shouted.

Theodore, who had just eaten, was frightened and cried again by Randall's angry shout.

Theodore seemed to be complaining to Patrick and Vera that Randall scared him.

Vera looked at Randall and suddenly laughed, completely ignoring Theodore's crying.

Patrick looked at Randall, feeling sorry for him but also wanting to laugh at him.

In the end, it was Patrick, the dad, who took Theodore from Randall's arms. He smiled and handed over a tissue.

Randall grumbled and took the tissue to Patrick's lounge.

Theodore cried in Patrick's arms for a while, then stopped when he got tired.

They had lunch in Patrick's office, with Randall talking to Patrick about the meeting while eating.

Although Randall wasn't very enthusiastic, he managed to work flawlessly.

Vera ate on the side, listening to their conversation.

"Honey, why can I understand the words individually but not when they're in a sentence?"

Patrick served Vera some food and kept talking to Randall, "Do you know the connection between The Rossi Family and our Olteran Group?"

"Aren't we competitors?" Vera asked, confused.

Patrick shook his head, "No, they don't even compare."

By noon, Patrick had quickly caught up on the work he missed in the morning.

In the lounge, Vera and Theodore drew the curtains and took a nap.

In the afternoon, when they got home, Patrick finally saw all the stuff Vera had bought.

Talking about her shopping spree, Vera immediately put down Theodore, ran to the bags, squatted down, and pulled out a bag, "Honey, try this on." Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she shyly looked at Patrick. Patrick was surprised. He raised an eyebrow at Vera, "You bought something for me?"

Vera stuffed the bag into Patrick's hand and then pushed him, "Go to the closet and try it on."

Patrick stood still, "Why go to the closet? I prefer here." He started changing right there.

He picked up the clothes Vera had chosen and didn't hesitate to praise her, "I didn't know I married someone with such good taste. I really like these clothes."

This compliment made Vera very happy. She excitedly reached out, "Honey, let me button it for you."

After changing into the clothes, Patrick praised her again, "The fabric is really comfortable, and the size fits perfectly."

"Right? Honey, this is the first time I've bought men's clothes. I saw this shirt and thought you'd look great in it. And I compared several pieces of fabric before choosing this one. It's very skin-friendly and won't wrinkle when you hold Theodore," Vera said.

Unconsciously, Vera started talking more. She looked at Patrick with a bit more admiration.

Patrick smiled and patiently listened to Vera's sharing. He looked at Vera.

There was still a big bag of clothes on the floor. Patrick pointed and asked, "Whose are these?"

Vera gestured with her chin towards Theodore, who was lying on the bed, "His."

Later, Vera excitedly dressed Theodore in new clothes and carried him downstairs.

Molly went back to the Chase family and was surprised to find that Lilac Manor was being renovated!

"Mom, why is Sebastian's bedroom being renovated?" Molly asked.

"His bedroom is too small for the two of you," Ellie replied.

Molly said, "We don't have to sleep together."

Ellie glanced at Molly, who was pretending not to understand. Some things didn't need to be spelled out.

Molly went to the police station to find Sebastian.

A group of people saw Molly coming in a hurry, and Sam teased, "Look, here she comes! Sebastian's going to have a headache again."

"Sebastian, why are you renovating the bedroom? We're still going to sleep in separate rooms after we get married," Molly asked.

As soon as she entered the office, Molly ran up to Sebastian and made her first request after their marriage.

Sebastian put down the file, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "If we sleep in separate rooms, what's the point of getting married?"
