The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Mia learned that Randall was always being bullied at home, so she asked, "But he's the only child of the Olteran family. Why is he always being bullied?"

"Yes, before I married into the family, Randall was quite the tyrant at home. But ever since I joined the family, he has become more and more humble. Even our father often chases him around to beat him," Vera replied.

Mia analyzed, "Before you married in, Patrick wasn't married, and the Olteran family needed Randall to carry on the family line, so they had to pamper him. After you married in, if you have a child for the Olteran family in a few years, Randall won't be the only child anymore, and they won't need to pamper him."

Vera pondered, then said, "What you say makes a lot of sense. No wonder you understand the Olteran family so well, it's almost instinctive."

"If Randall also gets married soon and brings a new child to the Olteran family, will his status be stabilized?" Vera suddenly thought.

Mia shook her head. "He would die even faster that way. With new children around, why would they need him?"

Vera was helpless.

At this moment, Vera wanted to give Randall a piece of advice, which was "Late marriage and childbearing for safety."

The next day, a magical scene appeared in the Olteran family living room.

At the dining table, only Vera, Mia, and Randall were eating normally.

Shawn, Vincent, and Cindy, including the household servants, were all staring at Mia.

Shawn hadn't slept all night. He only relaxed when he saw Mia's shoes still at the entrance in the morning.

He was afraid that Mia would be gone when he woke up.

Cindy and Vincent looked at Mia, thinking of how she looked when she was little.

Patrick was an exception; his eyes were only on Vera.

"Today is the 14th." he reminded Vera, who was enjoying a sumptuous meal.

Vera, halfway through her meal, turned her head with a blank face. "What's up?"

Patrick didn't want to say anything at the table, so he just moved the crab she was holding aside and gave her some food to eat. "Honey, are you starting to mistreat me now?"

Was he not letting her eat?

Patrick's hand was under the table, gently patting Vera's abdomen. "Do you understand?"

Vera suddenly remembered that her period was due in a few days.

"There's still four days."

Patrick said, "When you're in pain at night, you'll swear again."

Vera pouted, watching the crab she rarely got to eat move out of her sight.

The Olteran family's breakfast was usually normal, with a different menu every week. However, today, it was exceptionally lavish, filling the entire table.

That was because Shawn was so excited that he ordered the kitchen to prepare various dishes in the morning, knowing they couldn't finish them, but he still wanted to do it to welcome Mia back. That was why Vera could eat a big crab early in the morning. Unfortunately, crab was not suitable.

Being restricted in her diet, Vera was not very happy.

So, in the morning, only Randall ate happily.

After breakfast, it was time to go to school, and Patrick personally drove them.

Shawn also wanted to go along to spend more time with Mia.

"Shawn, the car is full," Vera said.

Shawn pointed at Randall and told him to leave, "Randall, drive yourself and make room for me."

Mia looked at Randall, who was used to being mistreated. She didn't need to wait a day; she could feel Randall's status at home in just an hour.

Randall patted the empty space in the middle. "How is it full? We can squeeze in."

So Shawn squeezed into the car. Vera wanted to leave the front seat for him, but Shawn didn't care to sit next to Patrick; he wanted to talk more with Mia.

"Molly, we've actually met before. Do you remember? Last time Vera got into a fight at school, she was so fierce, not like a girl at all. I even saw you then. You scratched a girl's face and kicked another in the stomach. You were really strong." Shawn could never remember a good thing, but he could recall a basketful of bad ones.

Mia said, "Dad, I'm usually quite ladylike. That was an exception."

Shawn had come to terms with reality; anyone who could be friends with Vera was likely similar in nature. Besides, Mia was his daughter.

"What I mean is, you both fought well."

Mia smiled guiltily.

While the car was waiting at a red light, Vera wanted to cling to Patrick. "Are you going to the Tooker Villa later?"

"Don't meddle in adult affairs. Go to school and study well," Patrick said.

Vera said, "Honey, I actually want to be your enforcer. If the Tooker family doesn't cooperate, let me handle it. My fists can make them cooperate."

"Do you want to be my enforcer, or are you looking to fight your rival?"

Vera pouted, saying, "I can do both."

Patrick wouldn't let her go, as he wasn't sure if the conversation would be suitable for Vera to hear. "Count how many classes you've skipped this semester. If you miss the final exams, it'll be embarrassing."

Vera tried to persuade him, but Patrick remained firm and wouldn't let her go.

When they arrived at school, Vera pouted and obediently got out of the car with her books.

Randall also got out of the car, followed by Mia, who was sitting in the middle.

As soon as she got out, she looked up and saw Sebastian waiting for her at their usual spot. "Sebastian," Mia shouted.

She ran toward Sebastian.

Sebastian was supposed to go to the police station in the morning, but somehow ended up here. When he parked the car, he realized that Mia, whom he needed to pick up daily, was not there.

He smiled wryly; he had already got used to do it.

He went to the classroom to see if he could find Mia, but she hadn't arrived yet.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of a car engine turning off. He turned around and heard that familiar voice.

Shawn and Patrick watched her running figure in silence.

There was no doubt that Mia was restrained when she was with the Olteran family. But when she saw someone from the Chase family, she was overjoyed.

Running up to Sebastian, Mia felt aggrieved. "Sebastian, why didn't you reply to my Facebook message?"

"I was busy then. Why were you still awake at four in the morning?" The Chase family was in chaos last night. Zoey and Max, upon learning about Mia, rushed back from the hospital in the middle of the night, crying and arguing at home. He had no time to check his phone.

When he finally saw it, it was already today. Sebastian noticed that she had sent the message at four in the morning.

He wanted to reply but didn't know what to say.

Mia said, "I couldn't sleep. I missed you."

Sebastian gently pinched her cheek. "Go to class. I have to go to work."

Mia clung to him, not wanting him to leave. "Sebastian, how are Mom and Dad?"

"They're fine, don't worry. Before you change your name back to Molly, come home, and we'll have a meal together."

Hearing this, Mia's eyes welled up with tears. She suddenly didn't want to change her name anymore.

Seeing her tears, Sebastian cupped her face and wiped them away. "We're just having a regular meal, not saying goodbye. Why are you crying again? If you keep crying, your eyelids will swell, and you'll lose your double eyelids." Sebastian smiled and patted her shoulder. "Go to class."
