The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 694 Heavy Price

Shawn shifted Teddy to his other arm and pointed towards the door with his now free hand, saying to Patrick, "Head back to Cherry Villa, and don't come back to my place." Vera shot him a look, "Then give me my son back first."

"I'm not giving him back. He's my grandson!" Shawn held Teddy tightly.

Vera snapped, "Without me, you wouldn't have such a cute grandson!"

Shawn retorted, "Without me, would you even have a husband?"

The room fell silent.

Molly clapped for Shawn, "Nice one! Shawn actually won this round."

Vera wasn't backing down, "If Patrick wasn't my husband, I could have found someone else."

Molly, always one to stir the pot, chimed in, "Vera, stay strong, good luck!"

She then glanced at Patrick, who had been silent the whole time.

Vera hadn't noticed Patrick's intense gaze fixed on her.

Brianna patted Vera's shoulder, "Stop talking nonsense. You and Patrick are married."

Vera turned to look at Patrick and suddenly felt the danger in his eyes.

Even though she had won against Shawn, the cost of victory seemed steep. "Patrick, I didn't mean it like that. You know how competitive I am, right?" Vera stammered.

Patrick gave her a cold smile, "I have a strong possessive streak too."

Vera felt a bit scared. As Warren and Brianna were about to leave, she wanted to go with them, "Mom, Dad, take me with you?"

"What about Teddy?" Brianna looked at the adorable Teddy.

Vera shook her head, "I don't want him. He's an Olteran family kid. Let them take care of him. I'm always getting bullied in the Olteran family. Patrick bullies me, my dad bullies me, Vincent and Cindy bully me, and even Molly bullies me."
