The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 313 Vincent's Protection

Sebastian thought of Patrick, whom he often saw, and Patrick's family, Vera.

He said, "The deeper the love, the deeper the anger."

However, Vera was pregnant, so Patrick could rest for a few months.

Men loved to talk business at the dinner table. Timothy reminded Sebastian, "Sebastian, be more cautious in the future. You never know when someone might be plotting against you behind your back."

Ellie immediately looked at Timothy with concern. "What happened to Sebastian?"

Timothy said, "A few days ago, the higher-ups sent someone down to re-investigate Gerald's case. After all, Gerald was Jerry's student, and he secretly reported Sebastian. Vincent and I intercepted the person that day, and Vincent vouched for Sebastian with his position."

Timothy was Sebastian's father, so they had to avoid suspicion. However, Vincent and Sebastian were not related, and others didn't know about the relationship between the two families, so Vincent managed to intercept the matter. They only investigated Gerald and did not suspend Sebastian.

Sebastian had also heard about this. He said to Timothy, "As a policeman, it's inevitable to offend people. I'll personally go to the Olteran family to thank Vincent for his kindness another day."

Timothy replied, "Don't go. Everyone's watching you lately. If you go and get discovered, you'll inevitably be investigated."

Sebastian listened to Timothy. "Then I'll send him a message to thank him."

"Yes, that way, even if someone comes to investigate, the message won't be a problem," Timothy said.

At the dinner table, Timothy taught Sebastian some things about political work, hoping it would be useful to him.

Sebastian also told Timothy and Ellie about the events of the Olteran family fifteen years ago, letting them know what happened to Molly.

After hearing this, Timothy frowned, "So, fifteen years ago, Jerry was also a suspect."

Sebastian said, "He had no motive."

The adult world was complex and chaotic. The world of students was simple and fun.

Vera, Molly, and Randall always sat in the front row in class.

It wasn't because the three loved studying; it was because the back row required climbing steps.

Molly, who was well-read in various novels, fantasized. "Vera, what if a girl in our class likes Patrick, and then she finds out you're pregnant? She might secretly pour water on the steps, and if you step on it and slip, losing the baby, what would you do?" Vera looked at Molly's head, speechless.

Randall poured a glass of water on the steps, and Vera stepped on it, even rubbing her foot. "Turns out, water isn't slippery."

Molly said, "What about oil?"

Randall asked, "Who would bring oil to class?"

Molly pondered and replied, "No, it's still safer to sit in the front row."

Later, the three of them sat in the corner of the front row.

Very few people knew about Vera's pregnancy since she wasn't showing yet; it was just discovered early. The Olteran family wouldn't publicly announce her pregnancy; they were very low-key. With many courses, Vera found it very challenging to keep up.

Fortunately, being pregnant allowed her to fall asleep quickly.

When she returned to the apartment at noon, she ate a few bites of food and then went to sleep. When she woke up, the servant had already prepared new food for her to eat.

Patrick deliberately reduced his social engagements. He told Sophia and Jack, "Vera is pregnant. If I come home drunk, I won't be able to accompany her."

Sophia exclaimed, "Mr. Olteran, congratulations."

Jack also happily said, "Mr. Olteran, you're finally going to be a dad. Congratulations, congratulations."

"Thank you." Patrick accepted the congratulations and added, "No unnecessary social engagements after 8 PM. Vera has many courses, and I need to pick her up a few days each week. I need to take care of her emotions and not let her feel neglected because she's pregnant."

Sophia looked at Patrick, who had learned to be the perfect husband, and said, "Mr. Olteran, you've finally learned to be an excellent husband."

Shortly after their marriage, Patrick frequently made Vera angry and had to consult Sophia on how to appease her.

Now, Patrick no longer needed Sophia's advice; he could be a good husband on his own.

Jack jokingly asked Sophia, "Sophia, doesn't your husband do the same at home?"

Sophia thought of her husband and complained, "When I was pregnant, he prayed day and night for a daughter. Now, he prays day and night for my daughter to turn into a boy."

Patrick curiously asked, "Why?"

Sophia replied, "My daughter's school assignments often require parental help. I handed over the task of tutoring her to him. He gets so angry tutoring her that he feels like he's losing ten years of his life, but because she's a girl, he can't bear to scold her."

Everyone in the office laughed at Sophia's husband.

When picking up Vera, Patrick told her this amusing story.

Vera quickly said, "Honey, let's agree on this first. I'm only responsible for giving birth." She didn't want to make so much effort to raise her child.

Patrick drove with one hand, holding Vera's left hand with his right, and said dotingly, "Alright, I'll handle the education. You just be happy and be yourself."

Vera smiled, knowing that she would definitely help Patrick raise their child in the future. But hearing Patrick say she didn't need to worry made her feel especially happy. When Patrick and Vera went to bed at night, Patrick placed his hand on Vera's lower abdomen, and the couple tried to figure out. "Which night did the baby come?" Vera said, "Stop thinking about it. We hardly ever took a night off. It's really difficult to say when the baby came."

Patrick's friends suddenly found out that Vera was pregnant!

"She's carrying Patrick's child, right?" Scott asked.

Patrick said, "Yes!"

The one who spilled the beans was Ian, who loved to gossip at Zandonick!

Ian had asked Patrick out yesterday to discuss something. When they opened a bottle of wine, Patrick didn't drink. Ian complained, "If I don't get you drunk, you won't help me with this." Patrick replied, "Just get to the point. I have to pick up Vera later. She's pregnant, and I promised to pick her up today."

"What?" Ian found out that Patrick was going to be a dad, and soon all his friends knew that, too!

For someone destined to be single, getting a wife was already a big deal, and now his wife was pregnant.

Since Vera married Patrick, good things kept happening around him.

He found love, found Molly, reunited his family, and now they were going to have a child.

Owen said, "Patrick, do you think Vera marrying you brought good luck to your family?"

Patrick smiled and said, "That might actually be the case."

Everyone wanted to go to Zandonick to see Patrick's pregnant wife, but Patrick kept Vera well hidden. "She's only three months along, not showing yet. If you all come, it might disturb Vera and the baby." Owen was surprised. "Wow, Patrick, you're already being protective?"

Patrick replied, "When you have kids, you'll understand." He was already feeling proud.

In the early stages of her pregnancy, Vera became very sleepy. Sometimes, in the morning, it was hard to wake her up. Thinking about a full day of classes, she regretted choosing so many. Although she occasionally complained, she still got up.
