Chapter 490 Vera Says She's Fragile

Noah chimed in, nudging Brianna, "Mom, chill out a bit, okay? Everyone's watching, and Vera's a mom now too."

Patrick turned to Vera, "But hey, you gotta listen to what Mom and Cindy said. My rules are simple: eat, drink, and have fun, but no crazy stuff. You just had a baby, and your body needs time to bounce back." Vera nodded like a good girl. "Babe, I'll do what you say."

Patrick grinned and ruffled her hair. "Be good, and there'll be rewards."

Vera pulled Warren aside, "Dad, please, take Mom with you. She's always on my case at home. You saw how she started today. I just had a baby, what if I get postpartum depression? I'm your only daughter, and when you get old, you'll need me. You can't count on Noah."
