The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 510 Deceiving Theodore

The Olteran fam took a quick half-hour nap, and when dinner rolled around, the servants went around waking everyone up.

Before they could chow down, they had to feed little Theodore first.

Shawn noticed Susan was MIA and mumbled, "When's Susan getting back?"

Randall chimed in, "Sadie told me she wants to stick around in Zandonick with Susan. I'll ask her when I pick up Susan for school tomorrow."

Shawn just nodded.

Cindy piped up, "It's such a hassle for them to stay in Zandonick. Being her study buddy every day is exhausting. Susan's in college now; she needs to learn to be on her own." Randall shrugged, "You should tell Sadie, not me."

Cindy nodded, realizing she needed to have a chat with Sadie.

After dinner, they played with the newly awake Theodore for a bit before everyone hit the sack.

Molly was at the Olteran Manor, but her mind was with the Chase fam.

"Sebastian, you can't let Abby crash at our place," Molly said.

Sebastian had just gotten out of the shower, his hair still dripping.

He was on a video call with Molly, drying his hair in front of the mirror. "I got back and she was gone. We didn't even cross paths."

"Sebastian, stop using the blow dryer. Just towel off," Molly said.

Sebastian glanced at Molly, a smirk playing on his lips.

In another room...

Vera was holding Theodore, who was wide awake and curious about the world.

She used one hand to take off Theodore's tiny shoes and started unbuttoning his clothes. "Babe, there were a lot of people here today. Did anyone sneak in?"

Patrick walked over and helped with the buttons. "Nah, we had one entrance today. Checkpoint at the door, another at the elevator, and we were greeting guests at the entrance. No way Jeffrey and Emily snuck in." Theodore thought they were talking to him and made excited noises.

He looked up, feeling Vera and Patrick undressing him.

When all the buttons were undone, Vera started to take off his clothes, and he began to cry.

"Alright, don't cry. Mommy won't take off your clothes," Vera said, patting his butt lightly to calm him down.

Patrick said, "Don't spoil him. Just get him undressed and put him to bed."

Vera looked at Theodore, silent.

After a bit, Theodore was still crying as Vera undressed him.

His little hands waved around, but no one paid attention.

After putting Teddy on the bed, Vera and Patrick looked at each other. "Babe, you think Jeffrey showed up today?"

Patrick sat by the bed, holding Theodore's tiny hand and said, "We'll know after checking the surveillance. Even if he did, he wouldn't show his face."

"He's got mad counter-surveillance skills, making him hard to catch. Emily must have had a baby too. Dennis is all about bloodline inheritance, and Jeffrey's loyal. He'll find ways to send messages to Dennis in prison. Should we keep a close watch on Dennis in prison?" Vera said, worried.

Patrick replied, "Don't stress, Sebastian's got it all covered."

Thinking Vera and Patrick were talking to him, Theodore stopped crying and started making noises to join their conversation.

Vera lay on the bed, holding Theodore's tiny hand, watching him babble away. "Babe, look, we totally tricked him!"

Patrick chuckled too.

Theodore was so little, and Vera couldn't bring herself to kiss him too hard. But she really wanted to, so she held back and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.

After chilling at the Olteran Manor for a couple of days, Vera took Theodore back to Cherry Villa.

Cindy eventually convinced Sadie to leave, and Susan ended up staying with the Olteran family again.

Molly started gearing up for her final exams.

Even though she usually goofed off in class, she managed to pick up a thing or two. Now, she was either skipping class or taking leave, and she couldn't make heads or tails of what the teachers were saying. Sometimes Susan took notes for her, but they were like hieroglyphics to Molly.

She had to review while watching online video explanations and occasionally tagged along with Ellie to the company.

Molly was so swamped that she was in a foul mood.

And what did she do when she was in a bad mood? She hit up the police station!

Mr. Chase saw her stroll in with a backpack and sighed deeply.

Abby knew Sebastian had a soft spot for Molly, and she noticed that Zoey and Max were warming up to her too.

So she kicked off her next plan: cooking for Sebastian.

She was pretty confident in her cooking skills, but Sebastian never gave her a chance to show off.

'If I anonymously drop off some meals, would Sebastian eat them? If he liked the food, being the smart cop he is, would he figure out it was me and get what I'm trying to say?' Abby wondered.

She looked at the lunch she had carefully prepared, imagining the scene where Sebastian finds her, feelings reciprocated, and moved by her gesture.

She covered the lunchbox, took it to the police station, and left it at the duty booth while wearing a mask, then bolted.

By the time the duty officer tried to catch up with her, she was already hiding.

The duty officer went back to the office and saw the name on the lunchbox: Sebastian.

He got that it was for Sebastian.

Just then, he saw Sam coming back from a call and called out, "Hey Sam, come here for a sec."

Sam jogged over, "What's up?"

The officer handed him the lunchbox. "Some girl dropped this off and took off. It's for Mr. Chase. Can you give it to him?"

Sam saw the box, which looked like it was from a young girl.

He took it, "Sure, I'll take it."

When Sam got back to the team, everyone saw the lunch in his hand and started teasing, "Sam, did Holly suddenly make you lunch?"

Sam put it on the table and waved his hand, "Nah, this is for Mr. Chase."

After a bit, Sebastian came out looking all serious. Seeing Sam had returned, he said, "Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat. We got a meeting after lunch." "Sebastian, your admirer sent you a love lunch," Sam said, pointing to the lunch on the table.

Sebastian frowned and glanced at the box. He said coldly, "Toss it."

"Sebastian, do you know who sent it?" Sam asked.

Sebastian replied, "Do you?"

Sam shook his head, realizing Sebastian had no clue either.

A nearby officer asked, "Mr. Chase, could this be a surprise from Molly?"

Sebastian shot back, "She hasn't even cut vegetables before."

Everyone went quiet. This meal definitely wasn't from Molly.
