Chapter 545 Ellie Takes the Initiative to Contact

Vera rolled in late. The moment she stepped through the door, she spotted Patrick lounging on the bed with a book, and little Theodore snoozing next to him. Patrick glanced up when he saw her but didn't say a word, just went back to his book.

Vera bit her lip, dashed around to her side of the bed, knelt down, and planted a kiss on Theodore's cheek.

"If you wake him up with that kiss, none of us will get any sleep," Patrick finally spoke up.

Vera gave Theodore's cheek a playful pinch and said, "If we hadn't tied the knot, we wouldn't have this adorable little guy."

Patrick acted like he didn't hear her. But when Theodore started wailing, Vera shot Patrick a helpless look. Yep, she'd done it-made the kid cry.

So, that night, they took turns trying to calm down a cranky Theodore.

Next day, Shawn was up and out early. He'd hit the sack late but was the first one up in the morning.

When he got back that evening, he slipped quietly into his room.

He barely talked to anyone all day.

The Morales family was pushing, so Randall didn't waste time. He had Susan pack a few things, grabbed an SUV from the garage, and they hit the road. Before they left, Susan clung to Theodore, showering him with kisses.

Teddy was annoyed but couldn't do much about it.

Randall got pulled aside by Shawn, who asked him all secretive-like, "What you told me that night, were you just messing with me, or do you really wanna marry Susan?" Randall smirked, "Take a guess."

Shawn punched him, and no one knew why.

Susan, still holding onto Theodore, looked at Vera and said, "Vera, why don't you come to my place for Christmas? Bring Theodore. We've got a big villa you can stay in." Vera replied, "Maybe next year."

Patrick loaded the gifts from the Olteran family into Randall's car and reminded him, "Drive safe, take breaks, don't push it."

"Got it," Randall said.
