The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Susan crouched down, picking up the stuff Patrick had brought over. "Patrick, what's this?"

Patrick answered, "It's a bed for Teddy. If Vera doesn't want to hold him or can't, she can just put him on this and let it rock him."

"Does this need to be put together?" Susan asked, eyeing the tools inside.

Patrick nodded, "Yeah, I'll put it together in a bit."

Randall sat up and started opening the parts bag. "Patrick, let me handle it."

Patrick nodded. After Randall got the packaging open, Sebastian joined in, moving closer to the table to read the instructions.

Theodore lay in Patrick's arms, making little noises like he wanted to chat. Patrick held Theodore with one hand while checking out the parts with the other.

Soon, they all gathered around the table, working on assembling the baby rocker for Theodore.

Vincent came back and took Theodore away.

Theodore had a serious little face, looking pretty unhappy.

After a while, the three women who had been chatting upstairs came down.

Cindy said, "Don't worry about our side. Vera and I will help you with everything. As for the Chase family, your mom had major surgery last year and is still undergoing chemo. Listen to her, take care of her, and don't let her get too tired."

Molly nodded, "I know, Cindy. I'll also take care of my grandparents."

Vera added, "Dad, don't worry about it. Cindy and I will get everything ready in advance."

"Alright, thanks," Molly said.

When they came downstairs, they saw Susan squatting next to Randall, handing him whatever he needed.

Sebastian was putting a cloth on a frame, and Patrick was fiddling with some small toys.

Vincent was holding Theodore, watching Patrick and the others put everything together.

"Honey, what's this?" Vera asked, puzzled, looking at the half-finished rocker.

Patrick replied, "I got this rocker for Theodore. He's getting heavier, and holding him too long makes your arms hurt and can cause tendonitis. This way, we can just let him play on it."

Teddy listened intently but didn't get what Patrick meant; he just felt that Patrick loved him a lot.

Seeing it was getting late, the Chase family called Sebastian to head home. But Sebastian said, "Wait a bit longer, I'm almost done."

So, everyone sat in the living room, watching them put together the little bed for Theodore.

When it was finally done, everyone looked at it like it was a piece of art. Patrick gently placed Theodore on the rocker and gave it a little push. The small toys Patrick had been working on were now hanging for Theodore to look at and play with while lying down.

Sebastian, worried the rocker might not hold Theodore, checked the fasteners underneath and found them secure, so he was relieved.

They all watched Theodore, who wasn't crying or fussing, with a sense of accomplishment.

As it got late, Sebastian and Molly left.

Vera took Theodore to give him a bath.

The next day, Sebastian drove Molly to the bridal shop. She had already picked out her wedding dress, but Sebastian still needed to choose his suit, and they had to finalize the photos and other details.

Before, Molly often showed up with either a naive girl or a mom holding a baby nearby. She hadn't brought her husband to pick out the wedding dress, which led to a lot of speculation. Because Molly was so stunning, some people guessed she was marrying a rich businessman who didn't really want to marry her but agreed because she was pregnant. They thought he was annoyed with her and didn't bother to come along for the dress shopping. Some even exchanged glances, eyeing Molly's flat stomach.

All the drama ended when her fiancé showed up. When Sebastian walked in, there was a buzz in the store. Turns out, the beauty was matched with a handsome guy, not some rich "beast."

Molly had already scoped out several suits for Sebastian. Today, he tried them on and picked his favorite.

While finalizing the wedding photos, Molly suddenly had a realization.

"Sebastian, you tricked me," Molly blurted out.

Sebastian looked confused. "What?"

"You tricked me into marrying you," Molly said, finally putting the pieces together. She had been so busy lately that she hadn't thought about it. While discussing when the wedding photos would be ready, it finally hit her.

She started explaining, "We don't need to rent a venue. The MS Group has a big hall, and the Cloudwing Hotel is perfect for private family events. If we want to get married, we've gotten a place ready.

"Buying rings just takes money and good taste. Picking a wedding dress might take some time, but not more than a month. I don't need to rent equipment; a professional team can handle everything. Wedding photos can be expedited if I pay enough. Finding a best man and maid of honor is easy; I've been around for over twenty years and can easily find two friends..." Molly said.

Sebastian awkwardly scratched his nose. Why did Molly suddenly get so clear-headed?

"In summary, getting married isn't that complicated!" Molly glared at Sebastian, starting to settle old scores.

Sebastian replied with what Molly had said before, "It's my first time getting married too; I didn't know it could be so simple."

Molly, now fully aware, said, "You were scheming against me."

Unfortunately, by the time she realized it, everyone already knew they were getting married, and they were even taking wedding photos.

Molly said angrily, "Just wait. I won't choose any photos with your face in them! You'll just be a background filler."

On the day they took their wedding photos, Vera brought Theodore along to join in the fun.

"The bride looks great. Right, keep that. The groom looks eager, wanting to hold the bride tightly. Right, hold her tightly. Your expressions are perfect, very natural," the photographer said while snapping pictures. Two assistants were helping with the lighting in the snow, and another was on standby for makeup. Susan held their coats and bags.

Vera held Theodore, letting him watch Molly.
