Chapter 406 The Scheming Patrick

Now it was Vera's turn to look after Patrick, which seemed unreal. Noah texted: [Did you drug Patrick to knock him out?]

Patrick, who was peeking, grinned.

Vera: [I don't need drugs. Just lying next to him does the trick.]

Noah: [Too bad you don't use your thick skin as armor.]

Vera was confused. [Did you learn to insult people from Molly?]

Noah's insults were top-notch. Vera was speechless.

The phone displayed eleven o'clock. Patrick couldn't keep up the charade any longer and took Vera's phone from her hands from behind.

Vera followed the phone with her eyes, tilting her head up with a cute, sparkling gaze. As she chased after it, she turned around to see that Patrick, who had been sleeping beside her, was now wide awake. Vera asked, "Honey, did I wake you?"

Patrick, holding Vera's phone, replied to Noah: [Focus on your studies. I'm putting Vera to sleep.]

Noah: [Patrick, did Vera wake you up because she's so annoying?]

Vera reached for the phone. "Honey, give it back. Let me insult him one last time; then I'll sleep. Noah called me disgusting, and I can't sleep until I've given him a piece of my mind."

Patrick raised the phone out of her reach and typed: [If you can't outwit Vera, don't try to match Molly's sharp tongue. Once she has a baby, she'll be unstoppable.]

Vera, satisfied, pulled her arm back under the covers. "Exactly, they all bully me because I'm pregnant and can't fight back."

Patrick patted her shoulder. "Close your eyes and sleep."

Vera nestled in Patrick's arms, her face pressed against his side, and soon her breathing evened out.

Only then did Patrick fall asleep peacefully.

The next day, Randall suddenly showed up. "Where's Patrick?"
