Chapter 380 The Baby Unilaterally Breaches the Contract

The sky was getting dark when Cindy handed Vera a glass of juice. "Drink this and go to bed."

Vera wanted to tell Cindy about Randall but hesitated. Cindy usually got upset with Randall, and if she knew he might be in danger, she'd freak out and keep calling him. Too many calls would mess with Randall's work, and if he didn't answer,

she'd worry herself sick.

So, Vera kept quiet. She took the juice. "Thanks, Cindy."

Cindy replied, "Why thank me? We're family."

Vera linked arms with Cindy, smiling. "Just being polite, don't mind me."

Patrick had been busy in the study for over two hours. When he came back, he walked quietly, not wanting to wake Vera.

Vera suddenly spoke from the bed, "Honey, you can turn on the light. I'm not asleep."

Patrick turned on the wall lamp and walked over, seeing Vera rubbing her belly. "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Vera sat up. "You just got back. How could I sleep without you here?"

Patrick sat beside her, smoothing her hair. "You're hard to please."

Vera hugged him, pressing her face to his shoulder. "I'm always hard to please, but you make me happy easily."

Patrick whispered, "Lie down first. I'll go take a shower."

"Wait, honey. Come see the surprise I have for you first. If we delay it, our baby will be asleep, and you'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Patrick smiled. "What does the surprise have to do with our baby?"

Vera grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly. "Feel this. Around this time, he moves a lot. He'll stretch out his little feet to communicate with you."
