The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

When all the evidence was laid out in front of Dennis, Sebastian crushed Dennis's premeditated plan to get out of prison. "You know you'll be safe in prison for a few years. When you reach your eighties, you'll be considered an elderly inmate, and your punishment will be reduced. If you're old and sick, unable to take care of yourself, and no longer a threat, you can apply for parole."

By then, Jeffrey would be there, and the private assets they had hidden would still be there. The children would be there too! What Dennis would lose was just a few years in prison, which was insignificant compared to what he would gain.

When Sebastian presented the money laundering evidence related to the Rossi family, Dennis glanced at it indifferently, showing no reaction. When Sebastian laid everything out, he said, "The amount of money laundering involved is enormous, combined with your other crimes, it's enough to sentence you to death."

When Dennis saw the remaining evidence, he looked at Sebastian, a young man in his late twenties, realizing he had underestimated him.

"Sebastian, I heard you got married recently."

"Yes, I married Molly."

Dennis thought back to many years ago, to the Molly who stood there crying up at him, leaving a deep impression! "What about Jeffrey?"

"Dead."

In recent days, Dennis's lawyer had visited him several times without mentioning Jeffrey, making Dennis uneasy. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he was interrogated by Sebastian again.

Dennis's eyes widened, clouded with a murky hue, and he said, "Since you have conclusive evidence, you could just submit it to convict me. But you came to see me because you want to hear me confess to what happened back then."

Sebastian, sitting across from Dennis, admitted without hiding, "That's right." "I want to see Shawn."

When Sebastian talked to Patrick, they had different focuses. Sebastian insisted on making the case of Molly's murder public, while Patrick was more concerned about avenging his family.

"I'll go home and talk to Shawn."

After returning home, Patrick called Shawn to the study and explained the situation. Shawn asked, "Is the death penalty certain?"

Patrick nodded, "The evidence Sebastian has can get him sentenced to death."

"Then let's meet. What about the baby girl?" Shawn asked Patrick.

"Given away."

Shawn agreed to the meeting. On the day he went to see Dennis, he turned back after stepping out the door, picked up Theodore, and said, "Let's go."

Vera, getting ready for school in the morning, saw Theodore being carried, "Dad, you're going to prison, why are you taking Theodore?"

Shawn: "I heard Dennis is going to be sentenced to death. I'm taking my cutest grandson to make him jealous, to make him envious of me."

At the unfamiliar prison, Shawn sat holding Theodore, waiting for Dennis.

Theodore curiously looked around and then saw Patrick standing nearby.

Sebastian looked at Theodore and asked Patrick, "Patrick, why did Shawn bring Theodore?"

"To show off and make Dennis jealous."

Sebastian fell into the same silence as Patrick had that morning.

After a while, Dennis was brought out, and his handcuffs were removed only after he sat down.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two men, who were once the same age, now found themselves in completely different situations.

Shawn held his chubby grandson, with a cane leaning beside him, and his two excellent children behind him. Dennis, on the other hand, was in a much more miserable state.

Dennis picked up the phone, and Shawn did the same, putting it to his ear. Theodore, seeing the phone, reached out his little hand to grab it.

"Theodore, don't make noise, I'm making a call." Shawn lifted Theodore to let Dennis see his cute grandson, "This is Patrick and Vera's child. He's the clingiest to me at home. He even needs me to hold him to sleep at night. When my grandson cries, he calls for me."

Patrick and Sebastian exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Theodore was having a great time playing.

Dennis looked at Theodore, and it was impossible not to feel envious.

"My son-in-law Sebastian will soon be a father, too. Our family is about to welcome another child."

Patrick understood Shawn's personality. He calmly glanced at Sebastian, nodding to let him accept such a father.

Sebastian quickly accepted it because Shawn and Molly had an inexplicable similarity. Shawn asked Dennis, "Why did you commit crimes? You should have understood these principles long ago." Everyone thought Shawn was getting serious, but the next second, he said, "Look at my life now, I'm too happy.

Cindy is diligent and capable, a great homemaker. Vera brings me delicious food after school every day and teaches me fun things. Molly stays up late to play games with me. Susan is the cutest; just looking at her makes me smile. I enjoy a day of happiness, and at night Theodore keeps me company. You see, my life is so annoying, I don't feel lonely at all."

"Theodore, did you understand what I said?" Shawn immediately lifted Theodore, letting the cute Theodore be seen by Dennis on purpose.

Shawn even gave Theodore a kiss.

Theodore pouted, unhappy about being kissed, as his family all loved to kiss him.

Dennis looked at Theodore, thinking of his own daughter, wondering if she was like him.

Shawn kissed Theodore again, making Theodore unhappy.

Patrick suddenly stood up straight, watching Theodore cry, and Theodore's lips seemed to form the word "Daddy."

Theodore pouted, about to cry the next second.

Patrick's Adam's apple bobbed, "Theodore called me."

Patrick understood how Vera felt when she heard Theodore call her "Mommy" last time. No wonder Wesley got beaten so badly. He walked behind Shawn, bent down, and took Theodore into his arms. He pressed Theodore's face against his cheek, "Theodore, call me again."noveldrama

Patrick held Theodore tightly, afraid of hurting him if he squeezed too hard, but also afraid of dropping him if he held too loosely.

Shawn looked at Dennis, who hadn't said a word the whole time, having reached the point of giving up.

Shawn, having shown off enough, achieved his goal, and said to Patrick and Sebastian, "You two go out, I'll sit alone for a while."

The two went outside, and Patrick sat in the car, placing Theodore on the steering wheel. Looking at his chubby little face, he picked Theodore up again, holding him close to his heart, "My son can call me Daddy now."
