The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 614 Danger

Vera glanced at the clock and said, "If you're free tomorrow, you can come with us. Today, he got a haircut and bawled so much that everyone on the floor knows Mr. Olteran's kid is a crybaby." As she spoke, Theodore started wailing again from all the attention. Patrick swooped in and took Theodore from Randall's arms, saving him from the fuss.

It was getting late, so after a quick chat, everyone headed off to bed. Patrick still had bits of Theodore's hair on him, and Theodore was uncomfortable because he didn't wear a cape during the haircut. When it was bath time, Theodore put up a fight. As soon as he hit the water, he started crying. He kept fussing, but when he was held, he calmed down. Patrick decided to shower first. Once he was clean and free of hair clippings, he picked up Theodore and stood under the showerhead.

Soon, Vera joined them. She stood on her tiptoes to adjust the showerhead, making the water gentle. Then she started washing the naked Theodore. Theodore lay in Patrick's arms, happily getting his face, back, and belly washed by Vera. "Honey, hold his cheeks so I can wipe his neck," Vera instructed.

Patrick pinched Theodore's chubby cheeks, lifting his face to reveal his hidden neck. Bathing in Patrick's arms was way more comfortable than being in the water.

After the bath, Vera was also wet. She asked Patrick and Theodore to finish up and leave the bathroom while she started to wash up.

When she finished and came out, she looked around but couldn't find Theodore. "Honey, where's the baby?"

"I sent him to Dad. He said he'd take care of him tonight. By the way, we can talk about how your kisses make me feel," Patrick said with a grin.

Vera thought to herself that Theodore had slept a lot in the evening, so he might be up in the middle of the night.

In Shawn's bedroom, he looked at Theodore in the bed, affectionately pinching his chubby body. "Theodore, I really missed you." Theodore cooed a few times. "Right, you missed me too." Shawn's eyes were full of love.

Two hours later, Shawn was very sleepy. "Theodore, can you sleep now? Stop crying. I can't understand what you're saying. Let's close our eyes and sleep." Another hour later, Shawn, exhausted, brought Theodore back. When Shawn knocked on the door, Patrick was still awake. He opened the door shirtless. "Dad?" Theodore immediately turned his face towards Patrick upon hearing his voice. Shawn, annoyed, pushed Theodore towards Patrick. "Take care of your own kid!" After saying that, Shawn walked away angrily. Patrick looked down at Theodore and chuckled.

Vera, with messy hair, couldn't get up from the bed. She was sleepy, the blanket had slipped off her back, and a purple love mark was visible on her shoulder blade. At Vera's request, Patrick didn't leave any marks on her neck or shoulders, so he pressed her down and kissed her back. "Honey, what's going on?" Vera asked weakly. Theodore was more excited to be back in Patrick and Vera's arms than anywhere else. He smiled at Patrick.

"Our little baby wasn't liked by anyone and got sent back," Patrick replied.

The unliked little baby was very excited. Patrick put Theodore on the bed. He was wearing a onesie and immediately tried to roll towards Vera. Of course, he couldn't quite roll over, but seeing Vera made him wiggle around happily.

Patrick climbed into bed from the other side, looking at Theodore with a mix of affection and helplessness. He sighed. "What kind of person will he grow up to be? He's always crying, fussing, and loves to talk." "Honey, make a record. When he grows up, he can see how much he fussed as a baby," Vera suggested.

After fussing at Shawn's place for a while, Theodore was actually tired. Lying between Patrick and Vera, Theodore didn't need much coaxing and soon fell asleep. Vera was also exhausted. She snuggled close to Theodore, holding him, and fell asleep in seconds.

Only Patrick, looking at Vera and Theodore, found it hard to sleep. He leaned over and kissed Vera, then lightly kissed Theodore. He turned off the light, and the night brought hidden dangers.

The next day, everyone in the family was awake except for Shawn and Theodore. Shawn had been kept up too late by Theodore last night and didn't respond to the butler's calls. Theodore, having woken up once, drank some milk and continued to sleep.

Those who wanted to see Theodore moved quietly to Vera's bedroom to look at the child on the bed. Everyone had been immersed in comfort for too long, forgetting that danger lurked everywhere, whether tomorrow or the next second. As per the initial plan, when the time came, Vera picked up the sleeping Theodore, changed him into clean clothes, and carried him out.

Patrick was already waiting. Two cars, carrying five people, drove out of the Olteran Manor.

Halfway, Patrick's phone rang. He glanced at the caller, and Vera saw it too. "Susan's mom?" Patrick answered, "Hello, Sadie?"

"Patrick, are you available now? Something happened to Ulysses," an urgent voice came.

Patrick slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road. "What's that?"

Randall's car also stopped behind the front car. The two looked ahead, puzzled, not knowing what was happening.

Soon, Vera opened the car door, holding Theodore, and told Patrick, "Honey, go ahead. I'll ride with Randall to the studio to get Theodore changed. We won't delay."

After saying that, Vera went to the back and got into the back seat. "Vera, what's going on?" Susan asked, turning around from the passenger seat.

Vera glanced at the well-behaved Susan and, not wanting to worry her, said, "It's nothing. Patrick is busy now. Randall will drive us."

Randall's car passed Patrick's, heading towards the studio. Two more cars followed behind. Seeing the two cars following closely, Patrick felt slightly relieved and called Sadie again, "Who reported it?"

At the studio, everyone was waiting. Jeffrey, hiding in the back room, didn't see Patrick among the people who arrived and felt a sense of victory.

Overseas, Cole looked at Wesley with satisfaction in his eyes. "Wesley, you were born to bring down Patrick." Using the urgent matter of a trusted person to lure him away.

Wesley replied, "The rest is up to Jeffrey."

Changing Theodore's clothes became a big problem. Theodore, seeing strangers, wouldn't let anyone hold him. At this moment, Randall became the person he trusted the most. He cried when being touched. Vera smiled at the photographer. "Take a picture of the two of them first as a keepsake. It's rare for my son to cling to Randall."
