Chapter 800 Mr. Olteran and Teddy's Vera
The three of them were joking around while munching on watermelon.
Shawn nudged Vera, "Hey, Vera, you should talk to Patrick. You've already had a baby, it's time we get some popsicles in this house."
Vera paused mid-bite. "Dad, are you ready for a big task?"
Shawn was taken aback.
He glanced at Teddy, who was focused on finishing his watermelon, and pointed at him, "What? Are you suggesting I kidnap Patrick's son to make him buy me popsicles?"
Vera shook her head, "Of course not. His son is my son, too. If you kidnapped my son, I’d deal with you before Patrick even had a chance."
Shawn knew he couldn't handle Vera's punches.
"So, what's this big task?" Shawn asked, intrigued.
Vera leaned in and whispered her plan.
Shawn immediately bought into Vera's scheme, "Will that work?"
Cindy chuckled as Vera successfully convinced him again, "Why not? If you don't tell, I don't tell, and Cindy is the most tight-lipped. The only one left is Teddy, who’s too busy with his watermelon to care. We can do this quietly."
Shawn still had some doubts, "I don't know, it sounds risky."
Vera reassured him, "Dad, don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame."
"You said it."
Vera nodded, "Thanks, Dad. The whole family's counting on you."
Shawn felt like a hero again.
After they were full, Vera went to check on Teddy.
He was really into his watermelon, but hadn't eaten much.
Vera recorded a video of him with the watermelon and sent it to the family group chat.
Soon, messages started pouring in.
Patrick: "Pig."
Randall: "Impressive!"
The uncle and nephew sent their messages almost simultaneously, then went silent.
Patrick thought Teddy ate like a little pig, while Randall was impressed by Teddy's determination.
Cindy commented, "Randall is actually most afraid of Patrick, but also likes him the most."
Molly chimed in, "This is the first time I've seen Teddy so obsessed with watermelon. Saving this."
Susan, always sweet and cute, said, "The baby is so adorable. Vera, I miss Teddy so much."
She excitedly showed the video to her mom, Sadie, "Mom, look, it's Patrick's baby."
Sadie smiled, "I never thought someone as cold as Mr. Olteran could have such a cute son."
Susan gushed, "Mom, Teddy is super cute. His laughter and his crying are the best sounds in the house."
Sadie teased, "You’re so excited. Do you want a little brother?"
In the office, Vincent watched the video, smiling and replaying it.
"What are you so happy about?" someone asked.
Vincent shared his phone, "Patrick's son. He plays with toys, and we play with him."
Vincent's phone wallpaper was a picture of his little nephew, showing how much he adored him.
Timothy saw the video too and looked envious.
Soon, Sebastian replied in the group chat, "Teddy's really enjoying himself this time."
Timothy handed his phone over. "Molly said Vera hurt her arm. How's the kid? Is it serious?"
Vincent explained the situation.
After the video, Vera took the watermelon away from Teddy, who looked like a mess. "Teddy, even puppies don't waste watermelon like you do. Give it a break."
She handed the watermelon to a servant, "Put this in the fridge. Let Patrick eat it when he gets home."
Shawn was about to pick up Teddy, but he hesitated when he saw how dirty his grandson was. "Vera, how did someone as clean as you have such a messy son?"
Vera was the family's priority, so they wouldn't let her carry the baby. Cindy stepped in, lifting Teddy by his armpits and taking him to the bathroom for a bath.
Half an hour later, Teddy was clean again.
He sat on Vera's lap, happily chatting with her. She held him with one arm, the other raised.
In the evening, Patrick came home to find Teddy waiting at the door.
Vera handed Patrick the watermelon. "Don't be picky. Your son already had some."
Patrick took the watermelon and held Theodore, "Did you cry for Vera to hold you today?"
"Yes?"
Patrick smiled. Soon, Vera handed Patrick Teddy's dirty clothes from the day, "You wash these tonight."
Patrick was speechless.
He looked at Teddy, "Throw them away."
Vera thought he meant the clothes, "These are expensive! They can be washed and worn again."
Patrick clarified, "I meant Teddy."
Teddy wasn't thrilled.
Despite his words, Patrick held Teddy tightly. That afternoon, Teddy hardly left Patrick's sight.
At night, the couple first brought Teddy to their bedroom, letting him play until he fell asleep before moving him.
Patrick used a warm towel to gently remove the bandage on Vera's arm.
"Honey, can you take it off slowly? It really hurts when it sticks to the hair."
Patrick held Vera's injured arm, feeling her pain.
He slowly peeled back the bandage, and Vera gripped his suit pants, "Honey, go slow, please..."
With a quick rip, Vera's tears flowed instantly, "Honey, don't you know it hurts?"
A red mark was left on her arm. Teddy, propping himself up, crawled over to Vera.
Patrick carefully removed the bandage from her forearm.
Vera was still in pain, her voice trembling.
Patrick held the remaining bandages and Vera's brace, "See, my wife got hurt because she was holding you."
Teddy seemed to understand, lying between Patrick and Vera, his tears falling onto the bed.
Finally, Patrick guided Vera's hand to Teddy's face, "Kiss Mommy."
Without hesitation, Teddy leaned in and kissed her. "Mommy."
Vera's eyes welled up with tears.
