Chapter 612 You Can't Discourage Children

When the barber came back to start again, Theodore started crying all over. He squirmed around, but Patrick's big hand held the back of his head, keeping him still. Patrick turned his head to the side so the barber could get to work. A chunk of hair fell right onto Patrick's pricey suit, but he didn't care. "Mr. Olteran, sorry about that," the stylist said.
