The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 569 Agree

In Patrick's bedroom, Patrick and Vera were sitting by the bed, watching Theodore sprawled out.

They both stared at Theodore, but he kept his face buried in the sheets.

"Come on, lift your head. If you keep lying like that, your little face will get squished," Vera squatted in front of Theodore, trying to coax him gently.

Vera never imagined she'd be this gentle in her life.

Theodore, being quite the drama queen, lay there for a bit before tears of frustration streamed down his face.

Feeling sorry for him, Vera picked him up and wiped his tears, "Honey, what should we do?"

Patrick sat there, looking at Theodore. He gestured towards the big bed, "Just toss him on it and ignore him."

As soon as he said that, Theodore seemed to sense he was being dismissed and cried even louder.

Vera couldn't bear it, so she unbuttoned her shirt and started breastfeeding him.

Sure enough, the crying stopped abruptly.

Patrick saw Theodore's little mouth sucking on the milk and couldn't help but feel exasperated.

"Honey, the Chase family is coming over the day after tomorrow. Are you okay with that?" Vera, holding Theodore, sat by the bed. She raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from Theodore's eyelashes while asking Patrick beside her. Patrick turned around and took off Theodore's little socks, holding his tiny feet. "Let's see what Dad says."

After wiping Theodore's tears, Patrick and Vera together unbuttoned Theodore's shirt and undressed him, "I think Dad will probably make things difficult at first and then agree," Vera said knowingly. Patrick also knew that with Molly and Sebastian's situation, they could only get through this way.

Patrick reminded, "Don't tell Molly that Dad might agree in the end."

"I'm not stupid," Vera said, "Dad will definitely make things difficult for the Chase family and test Sebastian. I'll side with the Olteran family but I'm worried Molly, being directly involved, won't see it coming."

After a while, Patrick and Vera heard Molly's miserable scream from outside, "Dad, I lied to you, I really lied to you, I'm not pregnant! I was just assuming."

Theodore suddenly stopped sucking on the milk, listening to the noise outside.

Patrick and Vera exchanged glances and quickly tidied up their clothes before heading out.

When they went out, Cindy and Vincent were already outside stopping Shawn.

Shawn pointed at Molly, "If you dare to get pregnant before the wedding, I'll not let you live."

Molly hid behind Vincent and Cindy, not daring to say a word.

"What happened?" Cindy asked.

Molly explained in detail, "I went to persuade Dad to agree to my marriage with Sebastian. He was stubborn, so I said, 'If you don't let me marry, what if I get pregnant one day?' I didn't even finish my sentence, and Dad started chasing me and hit me."

In the evening, just as the Olteran family was about to hit the hay, Molly stirred up another commotion.

Patrick thought Molly was being unreasonable. "You spend all day with Vera, and you haven't picked up any of her smarts."

Later, Molly got an earful from the whole family, except for Vera and Randall, who were whispering together.

"Vera, want to bet?" Randall asked quietly.

Vera, holding Theodore, whispered back, "I bet ten grand that Molly is deliberately provoking Dad. Those lowly and irritating words aren't her style."

Randall smirked, "I bet a hundred grand she's trying to piss off the whole family so the Chase family can propose smoothly!"

On the day the Chase family came, Zoey and Max showed up too. Everyone knew this visit was a big deal.

"Shawn, how have you been feeling lately?" Max asked politely.

Shawn replied, "As long as Molly hasn't driven me to my grave, I'm okay."

Molly behaved herself, staying silent. Ellie, who had raised her for over ten years, could tell from her expression that she hadn't been on her best behavior with the Olteran family. "Shawn, Sebastian specifically bought these health supplements for you," Ellie chimed in.

Shawn glanced at the supplements, "Take them back and use them yourselves." Once Molly married into the Chase family, they'd need them more than he did.

Ellie joked, "It's okay, Timothy and I have started taking them too."

Molly bit her lip, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Zoey and Max looked at Theodore in Vera's arms, praising how cute he was.

Zoey and Max instinctively reached out to hold him.

Vera stood up and just as she placed Theodore in Zoey's arms, Theodore, seeing a stranger and smelling an unfamiliar scent, immediately frowned and started crying loudly.

Vera gently said, "Zoey, Teddy cries when he sees strangers. Let Patrick hold him for a while."

So, she took Theodore and placed him in Patrick's arms.

Knowing the purpose of the visit, after some small talk, the Chase family got straight to the point. "Shawn, Molly and Sebastian have been together for quite a while. If we can settle their matter soon, it will be awesome for all of us." Shawn glanced at Molly, who was squinting and hadn't said a word today.

If he agreed, it would mean Molly would leave him again.

Molly had deliberately provoked him that night, and later he realized she wanted to get married.

He opposed it only because he didn't want Molly to leave him, not because Sebastian wasn't a good match. On the contrary, he was a great match. It's just that Molly had only been back for a year, and he hadn't had enough time with her by his side, and now she was going to get married.

Shawn blinked a bit forcefully; no one understood the feelings in his heart.

"Pick a good day," he said.
