The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 45 Her Kind Reminder

Cindy didn't provoke Vera tonight, perhaps because Shawn locked Vera up in the dark room and because she found out that Vera would move out to live with Patrick. "Now that everyone is here, let's start eating," Shawn said, and everyone picked up their forks to eat.

There were over a dozen dishes on the table, but Vera only lowered her head to eat what was on her plate.

Vera wasn't hungry and wanted to avoid attention as much as possible. She didn't want to give Cindy a reason to blame her. Vera was leaving, so she didn't want to argue with Cindy today. While they were eating, someone arrived in the front hall.

They heard a few unfamiliar voices.

"Uncle Shawn, are you home?" everyone heard a clear voice.

They then heard the voices of several others.

Shawn put down his fork and stood up. He looked somewhat joyous and said, "It's Scott."

Vera had never heard of the name Scott before.

Vera was surprised.

Shawn hurriedly went out to greet Scott and the others. Vera glanced at Cindy, but Cindy was also looking at Vera. Because of Cindy's gaze, Vera's heart started beating faster.

Vera thought, 'It's time! She's going to argue with me again.'

"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and go out," Cindy's tone was unfriendly, but she was reminding Vera. "Scott Fisher, Ian White, Owen Moore, and Joshua Smith are all Patrick's friends." "Okay."

Vera immediately set down her fork and clumsily ran out.

Vera accidentally bumped into a chair, causing it to sway and make a noise.

Vincent looked at his wife in surprise.

Cindy asked, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I still want to argue with her? I need a rest. I don't have the energy to argue with her today."

Cindy, being older than Vera, had less energy.

After every argument with Vera, Cindy needed a long time to calm down. These days, Cindy's period was delayed because of her anger.

Cindy needed a vacation to rest. Additionally, Vera would soon be leaving the Olteran Manor. Since no one would be competing with Cindy for her position, Cindy was friendlier towards Vera. Even if Cindy didn't voice her inner thoughts, her husband Vincent knew her mind because he had encountered various types of people.

Suddenly, Vincent said, "This is good. Everyone can get some rest."

Vera ran to the front hall. When she saw Shawn's back, Vera stopped and slowly followed him.

Vera then saw her intoxicated husband being supported by two people. Two other people approached and greeted Shawn.

One of the men's peculiar walk caught Vera's attention.

"Uncle Shawn, we're all here to celebrate Patrick's marriage. He didn't tell us he got married," Scott said.

Vera just heard this voice, so she knew the speaker was Scott Fisher.

Vera didn't know how to distinguish the remaining three men.

Vera thought, 'One man is named Ewen Moore. One man is named Josh Smith. No, he's called Joshua Smith. What's the name of the other man?' Vera struggled to remember their names.

Ian looked at Vera, who was pondering the names. He lightly bumped Scott's shoulder with his own and winked. He murmured quietly, "Is that girl Patrick's wife?" Scott looked behind Shawn. Scott stared at Vera.

Scott whispered to Ian, "She doesn't really look like Patrick's wife. She should be a student. Students can't get married."

Shawn was close to Scott, so he heard what Scott said and awkwardly coughed. Then, Shawn turned around and kindly said to Vera, "Vera, come over here. Let me introduce them to you." Vera walked forward and obediently stood by Shawn's side.

Shawn was satisfied with Vera's obedient demeanor.
