The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 464: Molly and Randall Inquire for Information

Patrick explained, "When I first got a call from Mr. Morales, you were right next to me, and I had no idea what was going on."

"When I picked up Susan, I found her in pajamas with injuries on her body. I took her back to the hotel first, and just as I was checking in, you called. There were hotel staff around me at that time."

Patrick added, "The second time you called, I had just brought her back from the hospital to the hotel. Susan was there both times. Was I supposed to explain all of Susan's gossip to you over the phone in front of her and the staff?" Vera sobbed, realizing it hadn't been the right time to explain.

"Why didn't you take me with you? Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea about your relationship.

Patrick sighed. "It was already past ten; you needed to rest. Plus, who knows what the situation was like at the school? What if there was a scene and you ended up getting hurt?"

Vera stopped crying. "Does Susan know you have a wife?"

Patrick laughed. "Of course she knows. She was at our wedding."

Vera did not remember her.

Patrick added, "She also asked me to send her regards to you and the kids."

Vera no longer felt like crying. After all, Susan even knew she was pregnant.

"Honey, if you couldn't have told me anythingover the phone, you should have at least texted me. I could have gotten the wrong idea. You know I'm prone to jealousy and sensitive during pregnancy. I was so worried." Patrick hugged the frightened Vera. "I didn't think it through."

"Honey, I do trust you. But I'm still a little scared," she said.

Patrick held her hand. "It's okay, time will make you believe in me."

Vera felt a bit guilty for being jealous again, which was embarrassing.

Back in the bedroom, Patrick lay beside her, and Vera finally fell asleep peacefully.

The next day at school, Molly and Randall heard a terrible rumor.

"Patrick was seen outside the women's dormitory last night, and he took a female student away!"

Molly and Randall exchanged glances. Molly grabbed the girl who was spreading the gossip and asked, "Did you just say Patrick was at the school last night?"

"Yeah, a lot of people saw him waiting for a girl downstairs. Then he took her away with her luggage. I heard she was a freshman."

Molly lost her appetite, and so did Randall.

Molly said, "Around 10:30 last night, I was on the phone with Vera. She said Patrick got a call and left the house."

Randall added, "Around 1 AM, Vera woke me up and made me drive her to the hotel to find Patrick."

Molly and Randall were at a loss for words.

It seemed like trouble was brewing at home!

Molly went to investigate. "Do you know who was picked up last night?"

A student at the table replied, "No, I just know she was a freshman."

Randall asked, "Do you know which dorm she lived in?"

The girl blushed. "I heard it was Building 7."

Randall and Molly stood up simultaneously and left the cafeteria.

They arrived at Building 7.

"Mia, you go inside and ask around. I'll wait outside." Randall couldn't enter the women's dormitory.

Molly nodded and went to see the resident advisor. "Hi, I'm from the Student Government Association. I heard a girl moved out last night. Who was she, and which room was she in?" The resident advisor looked at Molly, "Her name is Susan, she lives on the second floor in room 240."

Molly asked, "Do you know her situation?"

The resident advisor shook her head. "You'd have to ask her roommates."

Molly thanked her and went to the second floor to gather information. Since she was a senior, she easily mingled with the freshmen.

Molly said, "I heard Patrick picked up a girl named Susan last night. Who is she, and what happened?"

One student started gossiping. "It seems like Susan is a homewrecker. She seduced a roommate's boyfriend and got into a fight last night. Then she was kicked out of the dorm." Another student added, "I heard she called her dad crying, and not long after, Patrick came to pick her up. Her family knows Patrick!"

Molly frowned. "What does she look like?"

"She's almost as pretty as you, Molly." Molly was happy, yet somewhat discontent.

Molly asked, "What's she like usually?"

"Her roommates say she's a homewrecker."

Molly asked again to confirm, "Are you sure she really is a homewrecker, or is someone slandering her?"

"That's what her roommates said. During the freshman party, she was always surrounded by guys."

Molly stood with her arms crossed, biting her finger, lost in thought.

Downstairs, Randall was waiting in the car. Molly got into Randall's sports car.

Randall asked, "How's it going?"

"She has a bad reputation. I heard she has several boyfriends."

Randall tapped the steering wheel, looking puzzled. "This doesn't add up. If she's two-faced, Patrick would have seen through it."

Molly rested her arm on the car window. "I don't think Patrick wouldn't misjudge someone either. Should we tell Vera?"

Randall thought for a moment and nodded. "We should tell Vera so she can her ask Patrick about it. I don't think Patrick would be interested in a freshman. There must have been a misunderstanding." Molly nodded and called Vera.

Since Vera was late into her pregnancy, shehad notified the hospital and was making regular visits. She had also prepared the baby's blankets and clothes.

At that moment, she was folding the baby's blanket in the bedroom when Molly calledn.

She answered, put the phone on speaker, and continued folding the baby's clothes.

"Molly, what's up?"

"Vera, I have something to tell you. Stay calm and trust in Patrick's love and commitment to the family. You need to talk to Patrick about this."

Vera placed the folded clothes aside. "Go ahead," She said casually.

Molly said, "Patrick picked up a freshman girl at Evergreen University last night."

"I know."

"What? You knew?" Molly exclaimed, puzzled. "Did you know she's a homewrecker?"

Vera finished folding a small stack of clothes, got up, put them in her closet, and explained the misunderstanding to Molly. "What do you mean she's a homewrecker? She's Mr. Morales's daughter."
