The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 691 Whom Did Mr. Olteran's Child Inherit From

Patrick replied to Vera, "Yeah, it's dark out, but the parking garage lights are on." Though Patrick rarely joked, his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Vera and their chubby little Teddy.

Vera, whom Patrick affectionately referred to as "some folks," stuck out her tongue playfully.

Patrick walked over to the window, glanced at the newlywed couple in the parking lot, then scooped up the now-tired Teddy. He took Vera's hand and led them back to the living room. "Teddy's love for excitement, he definitely got that from you," Patrick said, wrapping an arm around Vera's shoulders with a loving smile.

If Teddy wasn't feeling under the weather, he would have been up and about, joining in the fun.

When Patrick took Teddy for a check-up, the doctor mentioned that their little one was quite a lively child.

"Who says? He clearly got it from Molly and Randall too," Vera said, sharing the blame. Shawn, standing nearby, nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely, Vera's spot on."

Just then, Molly dashed back into the living room. Seeing Shawn's amused expression, she asked, "Dad, what did Vera say that you agree with so much?"

Shawn repeated, "Vera was just secretly watching you and Sebastian having fun."

Molly immediately turned to Vera, accusing, "You're so disloyal!"

Vera shot back, "Oh, please. How many times have you watched Patrick and me having fun?"

Shawn, ever the peacemaker, chimed in, "Calm down, everyone. We're one big happy family, no need to argue."

Then, Shawn added cheerfully, "Patrick was just saying that Teddy's love for gossip comes from Vera, but Vera disagreed, saying Teddy actually got it from you and Randall. I think Vera's right. It's you, Molly, Vera, and Randall's bad genes that have influenced my precious Teddy."

Molly looked at Shawn, asking, "Dad, whose bad genes did Randall and I inherit?" "Who knows?" Shawn replied quickly, laughing. But as he laughed, he noticed the room had gone silent and everyone was staring at him.

Vera gave Molly a thumbs up, "Molly, you're strong."

Shawn's smile faded, and he pointed his cane at Molly, "Molly, are you implying you got it from me?"
