The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 299 Noah's Call

Vera glanced at the cunning Shawn and said, "If you're not afraid of Patrick, why do you let him push you around? Don't think you can trick me into making Patrick angry. Patrick and I are doing great, and I'm not listening to you, you old troublemaker." Shawn stood up excitedly, and Vera immediately stood up too. She pointed at Shawn's foot. "Shawn, calm down. You just got out of the hospital not long ago. Don't sprain your ankle again." With her reminder, Shawn indeed calmed down.

Shawn wanted to complain to Cindy that Vera was bullying him, but then he remembered he was the one who tried to trick her first. He failed and got angry instead. Complaining would be embarrassing, which made Shawn even angrier. "Move out quickly," Shawn said angrily.

Vera replied, "Getting angry out of shame and starting to kick me out."

At this moment, Vera's phone rang. She glanced at the caller and quietly slipped out of the living room with her phone.

Shawn curiously watched Vera's back and murmured, "Why is Vera hiding to take a call? What's she talking about?"

Half an hour later, Sebastian and Patrick came out of the study.

Sebastian said, "I understand everything now. I'll handle this matter, investigating the Tooker family and catching the people behind this."

He went downstairs and saw Molly had already changed her clothes. He reached out his hand, and Molly willingly handed hers over. She said to the family members, "I'm leaving now. Patrick, tell Vera we'll see each other when the new semester begins."

Randall thought in the corner, 'Why are you ignoring me?'

After sending off Molly and Sebastian, the Olteran family members returned to the living room.

Patrick asked Shawn, "Dad, where's Vera?" He had asked Vera to keep him company downstairs, but now she was gone.

Shawn was still angry. "Patrick, weren't you in a hurry to move out? Take Vera, who made me angry with you."

Cindy smiled helplessly. Her house used to be cold and lifeless, but now it was a bit too lively.

Patrick chuckled. It seemed his Vera had annoyed Shawn again.
