Chapter 490 Vera Says She's Fragile

Vera snuggled into Patrick's arms, hugging him tightly, feeling completely understood.

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."

"Okay!" Vera's eyes sparkled at the mention of rewards.

Little Theodore squirmed in his arms, maybe wanting his own treat or just hungry!

A bunch of folks were visiting Patrick's crib for the first time, even Shawn didn't come by often.

Everyone was wandering around like tourists.

It was already noon, and Vera nudged Patrick, "Babe, let's get the kitchen to whip up some lunch. Let's all eat together here."

Even though Patrick had it all set, Vera's reminder made him feel different. The lady of the house was back. "Sure thing," he replied.

After lunch, everyone bounced in the afternoon.

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."
