The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 292 Vera Fulfills Her Duty

Shawn didn't look at Randall. "In my next life, I won't be human. I never want to meet you guys again."

Later, Patrick took the three annoying kids back home.

On the way, Vera said, "Honey, this time it's your fault, too. If you had told me last night who Sebastian caught, maybe the three of us would have gone after someone else today." "However, you didn't tell us and wouldn't let us go out, so we found fun in our boredom and ended up causing trouble for Shawn. We need to reflect, and so do you."

Patrick was so angry he wanted to take the steering wheel off the car!

"Vera, I'll find you a class to attend."

Vera shook her head. "No.."

Patrick said, "Just go and give me some peace for a while."

"Honey, how about I go to your company and be your assistant?" Vera started looking for something to do.

Patrick said, "If you go, I'll end up doing the assistant's work, and you'll be the one being served!"

Vera thought about it and realized it might be true. But where could she go?

Suddenly, she thought of a place. "How about you don't want me as your wife anymore and send me back to the Linister family to punish me?"

In the back seat, Molly and Randall looked at Vera in front, stunned that she could make a business tycoon so exasperated. She knew Patrick loved her deeply and would never abandon her. At home, Patrick went to the study and took a deep breath.

When his phone rang, he felt a bit anxious.

Seeing it was Sebastian calling, he answered, "Hello."

Sebastian said, "The evidence was all collected, and the person has been caught. Patrick, please do me another favor. At this critical moment, don't let the Tooker family catch a break." "Okay."

Sebastian then asked, "Molly just said you went to the hospital. What happened?"

"Vera and Randall were playing around and accidentally got Shawn hospitalized."

Sebastian asked, "Did Molly have anything to do with it this time?"

Patrick replied, "Not this time."

Sebastian sighed in relief, glad it wasn't her.

After hanging up, Patrick called Jack, "Hold off the Tooker family's overseas funds for a week."

"Got it."

Patrick said he would send Vera to attend a class, but Vera didn't agree. She was afraid Patrick might force her or punish her somehow, so she secretly went back to the Linister family. The next morning, Patrick called Warren and instructed him, "Warren, please keep an eye on Vera and don't let her run around."

Warren replied, "You're too late; she's already gone."

At the hospital.

When Vera appeared, Shawn immediately went on high alert.

"What are you doing here?"

Vera said, "To take care of you."

"Not need!" Shawn replied angrily.

"You need it."

Cindy watched Shawn and Vera bicker and covered her mouth, laughing, "Dad, let Vera stay with you. Didn't you say you wanted some corn? I'll go buy it for you."

Vera quickly waved her hand, "Cindy, you go ahead."

Cindy laughed and left Shawn behind.

Vera pulled up a chair and sat by Shawn's bed. "Shawn."

"Give me my phone," Shawn said.

Vera didn't know what he wanted to do but handed him the phone anyway.

Before Vera could ask what Shawn was doing, he had already dialed a number.

It connected quickly, and Patrick's deep voice came through. "Hello?"

Shawn said, "Patrick, get to the hospital and take Vera away!"

Patrick replied, "I'm busy. Since Vera is there, let her take care of you."

Hearing this, Shawn was furious.

Vera rested her face on her hand. "So, Shawn, you were calling Patrick. Don't worry; Patrick won't come today. I just sent him a long 'heartfelt' message at the door, so he definitely won't come to get me." Patrick, having hung up, looked at the threatening message Vera had sent him on Facebook.

The first two hundred words were all sweet talk, but the last sentence was the key: [If you make me mad, be careful I won't go back to Cherry Villa with you.]

Patrick's lips curled into a smile as he put down his phone.

Sophia entered the office and saw Patrick's smile. "Mr. Olteran, what did Mrs. Olteran do to make you so happy?"

Patrick glanced at the perceptive Sophia and said, "We're about to move."

In the hospital room, Vera was peeling an apple for Shawn.

Shawn watched as a large chunk of apple flesh, along with the peel, was thrown into the trash.

Vera kept breaking the peel.

Shawn said, "Just leave the apple alone."

Vera replied, "Shawn, let me practice. I'll peel off the skin, and you can eat the flesh later."

Shawn said, "If you keep peeling, there won't be any flesh left. You might as well let me eat the seeds."

Vera looked at the half-peeled apple in her hand, which had shrunk from large to medium. "Of course not."

She usually ate apples with the skin on, and if they were peeled, someone else did it for her. She didn't have the patience to peel them herself and thought her life wasn't refined at all.

But on TV, there was always someone peeling fruit by the patient's bedside.

Vera mimicked them. "Shawn, this knife must be dull."

Shawn asked, "How come Cindy can peel it in one go, but you can't?"

Vera quickly replied, "The knife doesn't suit me well."

Vera and Shawn bickered back and forth in the hospital room, making it lively rather than lonely.

Cindy, who seemed like the head of the household, didn't talk much but took good care of Shawn. However, he felt a bit bored, only spending time reading newspapers and checking his phone. After Vera arrived, he stopped doing those things and focused on arguing with her.

"Vera, did Patrick hit you when you got home last night?"

"No, Patrick wouldn't bear to hit me."

"What about Randall?" Shawn asked again.

He wasn't worried about Randall but wanted to know what punishment Randall received. He didn't get angry about Vera, but was determined to see Randall being punished.

Vera thought of Randall, who couldn't eat because of the sour taste in his mouth. She shook her head sympathetically, then felt lucky to be Patrick's wife.

Randall had to drink half a cup of pure lemon juice under everyone's watch last night. After drinking, his face turned red, and he couldn't open his eyes, his features all scrunched up.

Seeing Randall's expression, Vera quickly hugged Patrick's arm and acted cute in his embrace, trying to soften his heart.

Patrick looked down at Vera, who was trying to please him and avoid punishment. He coldly asked, "Did you see what happened to Randall?"

Vera nodded, not daring to say a word.

Patrick continued, "If you mess up again, you'll get the same punishment next time."

Vera was unprecedentedly well-behaved last night!

Knowing Randall's punishment, Shawn regretfully said, "I wish I could have seen it."

"You can," Vera said.

Then she handed Shawn the medium-sized apple, wiped her hands, and took out her phone. She opened her chat with Shawn and sent him the embarrassing photos of Randall from last night. "Molly was quick and took some photos of Randall. I sent them to you, Shawn."
