Chapter187 Patrick is a Pig

In the classroom, as soon as school was dismissed, Vera excitedly ran out to meet Patrick.

"Honey, I didn't let you drop me off this morning, and now you're here to pick me up in the afternoon. Do you miss me that much?"

Patrick had mastered the art of sweet-talking Vera, and he used it on her now. "I've been thinking about you all day at the office, couldn't focus in meetings, so I came early to pick you up." Vera smiled happily, but she still scolded Patrick, "You can't do this. You need to work hard. If you keep thinking about me all day, your company will go bankrupt."

Patrick ruffled her hair. "You ran out without packing your books?"

"Mia and Randall will help me pack."

At that moment, Mia and Randall came out carrying a stack of books.

Patrick wanted to help, but Vera quickly preempted him and took over.

Patrick awkwardly withdrew his hand.

He glanced at Mia's arm and casually asked, "Do you have any scars on your arm?"

Vera noticed his intention. Her smile faded as she looked at Patrick. "Honey?"

"I was just asking."

From Patrick's words and actions, Vera immediately understood his intention.

She stopped smiling and her face turned serious.

Her usually playful face was now stern.

Mia sensed something was off and awkwardly smiled. "No, I don't."

Vera pointed at her own arm, jealously saying, "You never ask if I have any scars."

Patrick replied, "I see your arms and legs every day. I know better than anyone if you have any scars."

Everyone present thought, Patrick's words could easily lead to wild imaginations.

Vera blushed, feeling that Patrick's straightforwardness might cause her friends to misunderstand.
