The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 594 Sending Vera to School

Vera's awesome life had hit a snag.

During the day, Patrick tagged along with Vera to grab some school supplies. Since she wasn't living on campus, they didn't need much. Honestly, it was just an excuse to hang out and swing by the Olteran Mansion. Shawn wanted them to stay home, but Patrick, who had gotten used to the freedom at Cherry Villa, wasn't having it.

At the Olteran place, he had to keep things low-key in the bedroom. But at Cherry Villa, as long as Theodore was taken care of, no one bothered them if Vera stayed in her room all day.

"Patrick, hear me out. If Vera stays at the Olteran Manor, she and Susan can carpool to school. Randall doesn't have any classes, so he can be their chauffeur. Let's just settle it and stay here," Shawn said, not waiting for Patrick's agreement and already telling the servants to prep a room.

Patrick shook his head, "Cherry Villa, the company, and Vera's school are all on the same route. I'll take Vera to and from school with Teddy."

Shawn frowned, "Isn't that too much hassle... Wait, you and Teddy? What do you mean?"

Patrick explained, "We don't feel right leaving him home alone. So I've decided to take him to the company."

"Are you nuts? Taking him to the company where he'll cry and fuss all day? Even if you don't trust the servants, why don't you trust me?" Shawn asked.

"I'm worried he'll disturb you," Patrick said, not very convincingly.

Shawn shot back, "No clue how Molly's marriage certificate got snagged. You didn't seem to care about me this much back then."

Sensing Shawn was digging up old grudges, Vera quickly jumped in, "Dad, don't be mad. Patrick's just worried it's not fair for an older person to take care of a kid. It's great for you spend time with him, but taking care of Theodore all the time is tough. Even I find it hard, and it's even harder for you."
