The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 488 Patrick's Position Was Taken

Vera just had a baby and needed some serious downtime, so the Olteran family's staff turned away all visitors the next day. Patrick even made it clear to everyone that Vera's recovery was a no-go zone for any interruptions. Anyone thinking of dropping by quickly got the message and stayed away.

Meanwhile, the area around Vera's hospital room was on lockdown with the Olteran family's bodyguards. Even when Theodore went to take a shower, someone was tailing him.

Ulysses and Sadie wanted to visit too, but with Patrick's orders, they just ended up calling to send their love.

Last night, Vera started breastfeeding. At first, she felt all awkward and unsure about it. She even kicked Patrick and Brianna out of the room to figure it out on her own. Brianna laughed, "Hey Vera, what's there to be shy about breastfeeding?"

Patrick, looking at the locked door, sighed but smiled, "Vera's young. She just became a mom and needs some time to get used to it. Let's give her the space she needs." After feeding, Vera opened the door, still a bit shy.

Theodore was lying on the bed, all full and happy, waiting for Patrick to pick him up.

After getting a taste of breast milk last night, Theodore wasn't having any of that bottle milk today. He cried from hunger, and when Patrick tried to feed him, he just cried and looked at Vera.

Vera was confused. "Why are you looking at me?"

Eventually, Vera accepted her new role as a mom and held Theodore to breastfeed him.

Luckily, during her hospital stay, except for the first day when there were a lot of visitors, the rest of the days were pretty chill.

Sometimes, she'd take Theodore downstairs to visit other patients, letting Ellie see him.
