The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 175 It's Your Sister-in-law

Shawn comforted Patrick, urging him not to persist any longer. His heart, filled with disappointment, gradually turned to despair, yet nothing could change. Vincent believed Shawn's words and was convinced of Molly's passing.

He sat in Shawn's study for a long time, and they talked for quite a while.

Vera found all five gifts. She joyfully rolled on the bed, took photos, and posted them on her News Feed.

[The merit of having a husband is that whenever he goes on a business trip, he never fails to bring me gifts. He always spoils me.]

Before sending it, she blocked one person.

An hour later, Patrick returned to the bedroom.

Discussing weighty topics had weighed down Patrick's mood.

Seeing Vera's joy, he didn't want to disturb her. "Vera, I'm going to take a shower first."

"Okay."

Vera was still kneeling on the bed, taking various photos of her gifts.

After a while, Patrick came out, and Vera clung to him, curiously asking, "Honey, how did you choose these gifts?"

Patrick casually replied, "I saw them and bought them."

Vera happily jumped off the bed, went up to Patrick, and kissed him.

However, while Patrick was usually affectionate, today he was reserved.

He patted Vera's head and told her to go play by herself.

Vera was puzzled. Had he changed?

She cast aside her excitement and looked at the unusual Patrick.

Since returning from his conversation with Shawn and Randall, his mood had been off.
