The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 441 Shawn Was Deceived

Patrick was puzzled, thinking, 'If I want to listen to my son's fetal heartbeat, I can do it myself while Vera's asleep. Why should I need to top up 8888 dollars?' "How much did you top up?" Patrick decisively chose to stand by Vera's side. He led Shawn to believe that he had also top up

As soon as Shawn heard this, he immediately said with a smile, "I topped up $8888, too."

Shawn thought he had gotten a great deal and was afraid that Patrick would find out and get upset with Vera. In the afternoon, Vera had specifically whispered to him, "Dad, Patrick charged $8888. Don't let him know you spent less, or he'll feel unhappy, and we might have an arguement."

Shawn left in high spirits.

Patrick, however, was growing increasingly concerned about Shawn's intellect.

When he returned to the bedroom, Vera was already cozily nestled in bed, waiting for him with a cheerful smile.

Patrick walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "So, how much did you convince Shawn to load onto that card today?"

"I had him load $6666. That way, he can listen to our son's heartbeat for free from now on," Vera replied with a sly grin.

Patrick glanced at Vera. "Vera, take my advice. After graduation, don't go into business. I'm afraid you'll trick people into bankruptcy."

Vera turned over in bed and snuggled up to Patrick. "Take it easy. I only trick rich people."

Vera nestled beside Patrick and softly asked him, "Honey, has Jerry been caught?"

Patrick turned to her, noting the cautious tone in her voice.

Vera quickly clarified her guess, "I've been bored these days, watching the news with Shawn. I noticed that someone else is sitting in Jerry's old position, and his role is being temporarily filled by someone else. I just wondered if something was up. If you don't want to tell me, that's fine."

Vera was very perceptive, always able to pick up on everyone's moods. That was why she could sense when to say what and how to lighten the atmosphere.
