Chapter 614 Danger

Vera glanced at the clock and said, "If you're free tomorrow, you can come with us. Today, he got a haircut and bawled so much that everyone on the floor knows Mr. Olteran's kid is a crybaby." As she spoke, Theodore started wailing again from all the attention. Patrick swooped in and took Theodore from Randall's arms, saving him from the fuss.

It was getting late, so after a quick chat, everyone headed off to bed. Patrick still had bits of Theodore's hair on him, and Theodore was uncomfortable because he didn't wear a cape during the haircut. When it was bath time, Theodore put up a fight. As soon as he hit the water, he started crying. He kept fussing, but when he was held, he calmed down. Patrick decided to shower first. Once he was clean and free of hair clippings, he picked up Theodore and stood under the showerhead.

Soon, Vera joined them. She stood on her tiptoes to adjust the showerhead, making the water gentle. Then she started washing the naked Theodore. Theodore lay in Patrick's arms, happily getting his face, back, and belly washed by Vera. "Honey, hold his cheeks so I can wipe his neck," Vera instructed.

Patrick pinched Theodore's chubby cheeks, lifting his face to reveal his hidden neck. Bathing in Patrick's arms was way more comfortable than being in the water.

After the bath, Vera was also wet. She asked Patrick and Theodore to finish up and leave the bathroom while she started to wash up.

When she finished and came out, she looked around but couldn't find Theodore. "Honey, where's the baby?"

"I sent him to Dad. He said he'd take care of him tonight. By the way, we can talk about how your kisses make me feel," Patrick said with a grin.

Vera thought to herself that Theodore had slept a lot in the evening, so he might be up in the middle of the night.
