Vera was busy comforting the still-angry Shawn.

Shawn angrily said, "I will never change my heart for Savannah. As long as I'm alive, she's the only woman for me. Even in death, she's the only one."

Vera nodded in agreement and patted Shawn's back to calm him down. "Dad, Mom knows how much you care for her. Even if you never say it, we all know." Cindy took a glass of water from a servant and handed it to Shawn, "Dad, have some water."

Shawn refused to drink the water and pointed at Vincent and Patrick, emphasizing, "Vincent, Patrick, in this lifetime, you can only have Cindy and Vera!" Vincent and Patrick didn't need his reminder.

"Randall, keep in it your heart too."

Randall sat down, "Shawn, Molly was definitely just teasing you."

The gift list on the table was crumpled in Shawn's hand, he was almost driven mad by Molly earlier.

As Shawn's anger subsided, a car from the Chase family arrived at the Olteran Mansion, delivering gifts.

Molly was pulled back to the Chase family by Ellie, Timothy and Sebastian. On the way, Ellie and Timothy asked Molly, "What exactly did you do to make Shawn so angry?"

Molly innocently replied, "I just suggested enrolling Shawn in a senior community center where he could play cards and dance."

Ellie and Timothy fell silent.

Sebastian was driving, occasionally glancing at Molly in the back through the rearview mirror. The angrier Shawn was today, the happier he was.

This time, he didn't scold Molly, just drove with a smile on his face.

When Molly returned to the Chase family, Zoey and Max curiously asked her, "What happened today? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Ellie pointed at Molly and said, "She was sent back by the Olteran family."

Molly pouted and didn't dare to say a word.

In the afternoon, strangers arrived in the living room of the Olteran Mansion.

They wore white gloves and carried precious gold and silver antiques, diamonds and jewelry.

Someone even brought a safe, opening it in front of the Olteran family to let them inspect the treasures inside.

The Chase family had sent many gifts, filling the living room of the Olteran Mansion.

Shawn stood up, his eyes fixed on the room full of gifts.

Randall and Vera leaned on the railing in the living room, one at the bottom of the stairs while the other at the top. "Randall, have you noticed that the Chase family is quietly getting rich? Look at all these gifts for Molly." Randall curiously asked, "How many gifts did Patrick give you back then?"

Patrick, holding Theodore in the living room, heard Randall's question. He looked down at the sleepy Theodore in his arms and remained silent.

Vera shook her head, "I didn't check. Patrick didn't even show up back then."

At the Chase family, in Molly's bedroom.

Molly was holding her phone, watching the live broadcast sent by Vera and Randall from the Olteran family. Her room was full of gifts. "Did Shawn accept them?" Molly asked.

Vera replied, "He did."

Molly fell silent. She wasn't stupid, she knew what it meant for Shawn to accept the gifts. Molly put down her phone and threw herself onto the bed in frustration.

Sebastian pushed open the door, smiling as he looked at Molly lying on the bed, and walked in.

"Molly, you should come with me to thank Vera another day," Sebastian reminded.

Molly suddenly remembered that Shawn accepting the gifts had a lot to do with Vera's words!

"Well. Vera is in trouble again," Molly sighed.

At the Olteran family.

Shawn, annoyed by the gifts, returned to his bedroom. Vera, holding the sleeping Theodore, was pulled back to the bedroom by Patrick. "Vera, it's you again!"

Vera bit her lip and pretended not to understand, "I don't know what you're talking about."

No matter how rational Patrick was, he couldn't make Shawn calm down, because that Vera's words stimulated Shawn a lot.

He advised Shawn to stay calm, while Vera encouraged Shawn to act impulsively.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, she helped Molly and Sebastian get through a difficult situation.

"The lesson I gave you last time wasn't enough. Now that you're out of bed, you're disobeying me again! Shawn accepting the gifts is partly your fault."

Vera, holding the sleeping Theodore, gritted her teeth, "Honey, I don't understand."

Patrick's face darkened. His brows furrowed with a stern look and his expression was sharp, as if he was scolding a misbehaving child. He had returned to the way he used to reprimand Vera. "Stop pretending. I didn't want Shawn to accept the gifts, so why did you provoke him? You really think you can do whatever you want because I can't do anything to you. You're just being reckless!"

Before becoming a mother, Vera was overly lively, acting like a child who never grew up, full of energy and mischief.

But since becoming a mother, Vera had noticeably become more gentle.

Patrick also realized that Vera, like him, was an equal individual, not someone of lower status or younger age that he could treat as a child who never grew up.

Previously, when Vera did something that annoyed him, he would scold her, punish her and intimidate her according to his own ideas. Now, he rarely repeated those again, as he couldn't always impose his standards on her.

Moreover, he had recently felt that Vera had changed significantly since becoming a mother. She had become more gentle, more patient and less energetic.

During the day, when Theodore cried, he was at work and Vera was the one taking care of the child at home.

At night, when he had sexual needs, Vera was usually asleep by the middle of the night.

He was changing himself, being patient with Theodore and not just spoiling Vera. But still, when he and Vera had disagreements, he couldn't help but scold her, "Molly's marriage is not something that can be decided in a moment of Shawn's impulsiveness. You're a mother now and you're still so immature."

No one would be in a good mood after being scolded. The smile on Vera's face gradually disappeared, "Patrick, get this straight. It was Shawn who called Sebastian to come. Even if he didn't want the gifts, he wanted Molly to go to the Chase family! Indeed, I admit I deliberately provoked Shawn today, but he's an old man in his seventies. Is he really so dull that he can be manipulated by someone in their twenties?

"If you have the ability, from now on, I won't interfere in family matters. I'll just take care of myself and Theodore, and you can handle everything else," Vera said angrily.

With that, Vera, holding the sleeping Theodore, angrily left the bedroom.

Patrick was left alone in the bedroom. He had always been high and mighty and no one dared to give him a hard time, except Vera.

Realizing that Vera had left in anger, Patrick softened his tone and called out to her back, "Where are you going?"
