The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 113 Vera's Art of Soothing Husband

Randall glanced at Patrick beside him. His wife was up to no good behind his back, so why did he still have a smile on his face and seem in a good mood? "Hey, Randall? Did you hear me?" Vera didn't wait for him to speak and asked, "Where are you?"

Randall replied, "I heard you; I'm not home."

"Good, you absolutely can't go home."

Patrick nodded at Randall.

Randall understood and promised, "Okay, I won't go back, but be prepared mentally."

"What do you mean?"

Randall had already hung up.

He looked at Patrick beside him and asked, "Uncle Patrick, why are you happy?"

"If she's hiding things from me, does that mean she's afraid of me?" Patrick asked Randall.

Randall nodded, asking, "Is that what makes you happy?"

Patrick turned to look at Vera inside the room, a smile playing on his lips. "If she's afraid of me, it means she cares about me."

She cared about him, so of course he was happy.

In the car, Randall couldn't understand this strange sense of satisfaction among married people; he just felt goosebumps all over his body.

Indoors, Vera was still puzzled. "Randall just told me to be mentally prepared. I always feel like he's trying to convey something to me. Could Patrick already know?"

Shawn waved his hand, grabbed some fries, and said while eating, "You're overthinking it. Even if Randall were driving, he's not home yet, so he definitely won't meet Patrick."

Vera nodded, eating thoughtfully. "That makes sense. Why is my heart beating so fast then?"
