The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 502 Playing Dumb While Knowing the Truth

Molly was thinking about those few times she and Sebastian had it out, and how he always managed to calm her down. She felt kinda bad about it.

"Enough about me, spill the tea. What's up with you and Patrick?"

Vera let out a big sigh, "Patrick's no help at all. Now I gotta write my thesis all by myself."

Molly was quiet for a sec, then just lost it, laughing.

Vera propped her chin on her hand, looking super annoyed.

"You didn't catch much sleep last night, huh?" Molly asked, noticing Vera looked like a zombie.

"Is it that obvious I pulled an all-nighter?" Vera thought back to last night with Theodore. "Theodore was a mess. He cried when he was hungry, cried when he pooped, cried when it was too dark, and cried when I turned on the light. I had to rub his tummy and carry him around. He's such a handful, I had no idea."

Molly asked, "Usually, Patrick's the one getting up at night to deal with Teddy, right? So you didn't know how tough it is?"

Vera thought about Patrick. "Yeah, probably. Last night, he kept popping into my room. Every time Theodore cried, he'd remind me what to do. Now that you mention it, Patrick's pretty responsible."

"Vera, go back to your room and get some sleep tonight. You look like a raccoon with those dark circles, and your body hasn't fully bounced back. You can't keep pushing yourself," Molly said.

Vera didn't hold back with Molly. "It's kinda awkward for me to go back today."

still had Vera's words in his head. "Molly, I didn't mean to scold you. It's not that I feel sorry for them; I feel sorry for you. I wanted to teach them a lesson just like you, but I wouldn't leave any evidence behind. When you suddenly showed up that night, the neighbors freaked out and spilled everything. If the cops had
