The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

The day after Vera gave birth, many people came to the hospital room. Vera didn't recognize most of them.

Relatives of the Olteran family and Shawn's friends gathered around Theodore. Needless to say, Patrick's four close friends also showed up. Vera didn't often hear Patrick mention them, but whenever she looked at Patrick's phone, their group chat was always pinned at the top. Patrick, who was now a father, was kind to everyone.

When Ian touched Theodore, Patrick just smiled and didn't kick him.

When Scott lifted Theodore's thin blanket, Patrick only "gently" threatened, "If Theodore catches a cold, I'll toss you into the Arctic Ocean."

The hospital room didn't seem cramped before, but with the influx of visitors, it suddenly felt crowded.

Many people from the Linister family had also come to visit, all wanting to see Theodore.

But Theodore was surrounded by Ian and the others, who didn't even ask Vera and Patrick for their opinion and directly declared to Theodore, "I'm your godfather." Theodore looked around, seeing many different people.

Patrick and Vera didn't look at him.

Theodore lay in the stroller, crying loudly as he was upset. His cries quieted the bustling hospital room, and a dozen people crowded around to soothe him.

Ian was about to hold Theodore when Joshua stopped him. "Do you even know how to hold him?"

Ian shrugged. "I don't, but I'll learn."

Owen was shocked. "You're going to practice with Theodore? Are you crazy?"

Before Ian picked up Theodore, he looked around the room and saw that Patrick wasn't there.

He quietly reached for Theodore.

Ian held Theodore's waist, and Owen noticed something was wrong. "Ian, I saw Patrick holding Theodore with his hand supporting the head." Ian asked, "Really? Then I'll hold him by the head, too."

Theodore kept crying as he looked at the scary group of people.

Brianna heard the crying and went to Theodore, just in time to see Ian about to hold Theodore.

She was alarmed and quickly went over. "Mr. White, let me hold Theodore. You all go rest; Patrick will be back soon."

Brianna picked up the crying Theodore, who looked very sorry for himself.

"Teddy, are you missing your mom? Don't cry; I'll take you to Vera." Brianna sat by Vera's bed with Theodore, and Vera reached out to take him. She softly patted Theodore, and when he saw his mom, his cries softened.

After all, Theodore had just been born, and he needed some love from his parents.

Alison watched Theodore and said, "Teddy's mouth looks like Patrick's, and his face shape looks like Vera's."

Cindy handed over some formula, and Vera took it to feed Theodore. Theodore had an appetite like Vera's and needed to eat several times a day. Now that Theodore had been born, Cindy walked with a spring in her step. Vera had just given birth, so Cindy entertained all the visitors for Vera. "I think Theodore's features look like Patrick's, but hopefully, his temper won't be like Vera's."

Brianna laughed as she looked at Theodore, who was drinking the formula. "If his temper is like Vera's, there won't be a quiet day in the house."

Everyone laughed heartily at that.

While Vera fed Theodore, she carefully examined his face. "Does he look like me? Where? I can't see any resemblance at all."

Molly also came to see Theodore.

Someone asked, "This is Molly, right? She's grown so much since she's been found."

Shawn happily said, "Yeah, our family has had a lot of good times in the last couple of years. I don't even know where to start. This is Molly, we've located her. Isn't she lovely? Doesn't she resemble Savannah?Molly even applied for a scholarship and got it. Isn't she amazing?"

Molly was shy and modest for the first time.

Patrick returned with Theodore's birth certificate and handed it to Vera.

Father: Patrick. Mother: Vera. Baby: Theodore Olteran.

Vera smiled as she glanced at the certificate, then at Theodore, who was wide awake and gazing at her.

Vera said softly, "Theodore, welcome to the world."

Theodore closed his eyes and turned into Vera's arms to sleep.

Randall, Susan, and Noah were strangely absent from the hospital room.

"Randall, let's go to the hospital. I want to see Vera and Theodore."

Randall sat on a bench in the backyard, a laptop on his lap and a glass of sparkling water beside him.

His fingers flew over the keyboard, and Susan, who was sitting next to him, kept urging him to go. "Randall, Vincent and Cindy have gone to see her, and so had Shawn. If we stay home, it will seem like we don't care about Vera."

Randall glanced at his water glass. "Get me another glass of water."

Susan pouted angrily and refused.

There was displeasure in her eyes. "Randall, you've had four glasses of water already."

Randall, who was addicted to ordering Susan around, said, "Susan, go get my data cable from the bedroom."

"No." Susan refused again.

Randall looked at Susan and tapped her forehead. "If you go now, you'll only see a room full of people. We won't even get to see Vera and Theodore."

Susan was puzzled, and Randall explained, "All the Olteran family relatives are there. If you go, you might not even have a place to sit. We'll go later when it's less crowded." After the explanation, Susan nodded. "I see, Randall."

She noticed Randall typing on the laptop once more. "Randall, what's going on?"

Randall responded, "I'm just playing a game."

"But it looks like code to me," Even though Susan was naive, she wasn't stupid.

Randall glanced at Susan, closed the laptop slightly, and pointed to his water glass. "Grab me a glass of water and the data cable from my nightstand," Randall instructed. Susan promptly followed Randall's request, heading to his room and dashing out to fetch him some sparkling water.

Around seven in the evening, Randall closed the laptop.

"Randall, are we going now?" Susan had asked Randall a dozen times that day.

Randall said, "It's too early. Patrick's friends definitely wouldn't have left yet. The Chase family and the Linister family are all there. We'll go a bit later."
