The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 601 Going to the Company Together

Susan was convinced.

Sure enough, within a few days, Randall vanished from the school's "Most Handsome" list, a spot he'd held for two years straight.

His disappearance was so sudden that even Vera was confused, "Is there a glitch in the system?"

Susan knew Randall had hacked into the school's system and removed himself. It was a walk in the park for him.

After that, Susan didn't give it another thought and continued to happily roam around the school.

After a long break at home, Patrick took Randall back to the company. Randall's favorite thing was to go to Patrick's office and hold Theodore, who was soaking up the sun. "Did I bring you here to be a babysitter?" Patrick asked.

Randall, holding Theodore, was about to head out, "Patrick, I'm just taking him out to get familiar with the place."

Patrick leaned back in his chair and lazily said, "Put the kid down and get to work." His tone left no room for argument.

Randall hesitated for a moment, wanting to push back, but in the end, he just said "Okay" and followed Patrick's orders, placing Theodore back in his arms.

Theodore looked at Randall, as if wondering why his brother suddenly handed him away. When he realized he was back in Patrick's arms, he was all smiles.

Patrick held Theodore tightly and told Randall, "Get to work."

Randall asked, "Patrick, if your son doesn't want to do something in the future, will you force him?"

Patrick looked down at Theodore. "I can't answer that for you."

Randall gave in and went to work.

In the afternoon, Susan and Vera only had one class, and Molly called them over.

"Vera, if you go back to school and Theodore gets hungry, what will you do? Isn't he picky and only drinks breast milk?" Molly asked.

Vera, who was out shopping with Molly, answered while browsing, "We couldn't find the right formula before; the taste was different, and the kid didn't like it. Later, Patrick and I bought ten trusted formula brands and let Theodore try them one by one. He accepted some, but others he wouldn't touch even if he was starving. That's how we figured out which one he liked. As first-time parents, Patrick and I didn't know any better, and the kid suffered because of it."

Molly, who hadn't been in the loop for a while, couldn't help but ask more questions, "Didn't it break your heart to see him cry? It breaks my heart just hearing about it."

Vera quickly replied, "Of course it did. At one point, Patrick almost sent the formula to a research lab to compare it with breast milk. Later, I fed him, and after he was full, he developed a liking for another formula and could drink a bit more. We bought the most expensive and best formula for Theodore, thinking it was the best, but he ended up preferring a small brand that only cost a few hundred dollars."

Susan curiously asked, "Vera, how did you know each formula tasted different?"

Vera grinned, "I'm just that smart."

In the evening, the family of three was quietly having dinner at a restaurant. Vera, while eating, suddenly looked up at Patrick and asked a silly question, "Honey, different chefs' cooking tastes different, right?" Even though Patrick thought the question was a bit silly, he answered patiently, "Of course."

Vera went on, "Different foods from different manufacturers taste different. So, does that mean different formulas from different companies have different flavors too?"

She seemed to have figured it out, "Some formulas have a strong fishy taste, while others are milder. Theodore can tell the difference, so when we feed him formula, he knows the taste is off and resists." Patrick, while eating, glanced at Theodore in the baby crib next to him, who was struggling to roll over.

The next day, the couple bought a bunch of different formulas to test on Theodore.

Seeing a good water bottle, Vera said, "Let's grab two sets. We don't have any at home."

After shopping for a while in the afternoon, Molly was picked up by Sebastian who had just finished his work.

Vera and Susan headed to the Olteran Group.

It was Susan's first time at the Olteran Group, and she looked around curiously, "Vera, the art installation in the middle of the lobby looks just like the one at my dad's company."

In the center of the Olteran Group building was a sculpture with artistic lettering of the company name in the middle, which was eye-catching for anyone entered.

Susan followed Vera into the CEO's private elevator and said, "At my dad's company, it's not just the company name in the middle; it's a big leaf with 'Morales Group' written on it, but at the bottom, it also says 'Olteran."" Vera said, "It probably has some special meaning."

As the elevator went up, Susan felt a faint excitement even before seeing Randall.

Vera knew it was the feeling of a crush. When she used to visit Patrick, she would secretly fix her makeup in the mirror.

When the elevator door opened, Susan followed Vera out. People passing by greeted Vera politely, but many didn't recognize Susan.

Susan stood at the elevator door, scanning the area for Randall.

But she didn't find him. She pursed her lips in disappointment, thinking she might have come to the wrong floor.

Vera took Susan to Patrick's office, "Honey, I came to see you."

Patrick looked up at Vera and smiled. Then he saw Susan, "Susan, you are off school early today."

Vera nodded, "Where's the baby?"

Patrick said, "Sleeping on the couch. I tried to get him to turn over this morning, but he's too chubby and couldn't do it without help."

Every time he saw Theodore struggling, Patrick couldn't bear it and ended up giving him a little push.

Vera and Susan curiously went to the couch to see Theodore.

Theodore was asleep, and Vera didn't pick him up. "By the way, honey, where does Randall work?"

"Didn't you see him just now?" Patrick asked.

Susan shook her head, "We looked everywhere but didn't see Randall."

Patrick leaned back in his chair and said, "He's probably in the bathroom again. He spends a lot of time there!"

Patrick pointed out Randall's usual spot to Susan, telling her to wait for him there.

The office was back to just the family of three.

Vera squatted by the couch, admiring Theodore's sleeping face, "Honey, does Randall not like business?"
