The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 518

Chapter 518 Pretending to Sleep

Patrick shot the breeze with Sebastian a bit longer before hanging up and tossing the phone to Vera.

Vera leaned in, all curious, "Babe, you still gonna pick up Molly?"

Patrick, with a bit of a grumble, said, "Nah, not happening."

Vera's face lit up a bit.

Since Patrick wasn't heading out, Vera said, "Alright, let's hit the sack. Molly's a big girl, she won't get lost. Plus, Sebastian's with her, so chill. Look how peacefully Theodore's snoozing." Patrick glanced at Theodore, who had been bawling earlier but was now out like a light.

He plopped back down, with Theodore snug between them. Patrick lay down and asked Vera, "Vera, how are Molly and Sebastian getting along?"

Vera quickly yanked the blanket over her head and played possum.

Patrick stayed quiet. He looked at Vera faking sleep and nudged her, "You're covering Theodore. He'll start wailing again soon."

Vera, eyes still shut, pulled her arm out from under the blanket and adjusted it, making sure Theodore was comfy. She kept pretending to sleep.

Theodore stirred a bit but then went back to snoozing soundly. His little face looked just like a chubby Patrick from back in the day.

Patrick, seeing Vera's reaction, felt a knot of worry.

Over at the hotel, Sebastian looked at Molly, who had totally taken over his bed. She'd finished her stuff late, and when Sebastian offered to drive her home, she shot him down. "Sebastian, why don't you get me a room? It's already 2 AM, and I gotta study here tomorrow. Running back and forth is a drag. I don't wanna leave," Molly said. Sebastian, seeing Molly trying to butter him up, inexplicably agreed.

When he came back after getting her a room, he found her already knocked out in his bed, wrapped in his blanket.

Sebastian tried to wake her but had no luck. He gave up and sat by the bed, watching her sleep.
