The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 504 She Is My Sister

Vera got busy and shared her notes with Molly and Susan: [Save these tips for when you're moms! Free now, but after the party, I'll charge for advice!] Molly: [You think I can't afford your advice?]

Vera sent a screenshot of a recent transfer from Patrick. [You think you can afford it? Of course, you're welcome to consult me.]

Molly replied instantly: [Saved it.]

Susan quickly followed: [Saved it too.]

Randall asked Susan, "You're only eighteen, why the rush?"

Susan thought for a moment and said, "Oh right, I'm only eighteen, not even old enough to legally marry. Why am I in a hurry?" Then she deleted the photo. But then she reconsidered. "Wait, Randall, what if I need it in the future?"

She saved Vera's photo from the group chat again.

Randall said, "By the time you're a mom, your phone will have been replaced several times over."

Susan thought Randall made sense and got caught up in the dilemma of whether to save the photo or not.

Randall eventually saved Vera's notes and said to Susan, "You eat, I'll save it for you."

"Okay," Susan responded.

Randall always had a suggestion or made a decision for Susan whenever she was indecisive.

"This afternoon I have something to do, I'll take you home first," Randall said.

"Randall, wherever you go, I'm with you," Susan, the little tagalong, said eagerly.

Randall said, "I'm going to a discussion meeting. You probably wouldn't be interested in computers."

"No problem, I can wait in the car," Susan said.

Randall thought to himself, 'How did I not notice before that Susan is so clingy?'

"It's too boring. The meeting is all men. If you don't want to go home, I'll drop you off at Vera's and you can play with Teddy," Randall said.

Susan understood that Randall didn't want to take her along, so she sensibly didn't insist. "Okay, Randall, but don't forget to pick me up tonight."

Randall replied, "Alright, now hurry up and eat."

After school in the afternoon, Randall was about to take Susan to Cherry Villa. On the way, he noticed it was a bit quiet. He glanced at the silent Susan and asked, "Do you still want to go to the meeting with me?" Susan said, "I'm curious."

Randall looked at her again, didn't say anything, and drove past the turn to Cherry Villa.

Susan reminded him, "Randall, you missed the turn."

Randall said, "When we get to the meeting, find a sofa to sit on and don't share your phone or computer information with anyone there."

Susan looked at Randall in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Randall, are you taking me with you?"

She sat up happily, a flood of questions coming to her mind and she asked, "Randall, what are you going to do there? What's it about?"

Randall said, "Don't ask too much, and don't tell anyone at home about this."

Susan asked again, "Can Vera and Molly know?"

Randall replied, "They can't know either."

Susan got excited again, which Randall didn't understand. "Randall, is this a secret only I know?" she asked.

Randall asked, "What, are you planning to blackmail me into doing your homework?"

At a villa in the suburbs, Randall parked the car and registered his information at the guest entrance, holding Susan's hand as she looked around curiously and led her inside. "Randall, your meeting's in a villa?" Susan asked, wide-eyed.

"Yup," Randall replied, leading her into the living room.

The place was already buzzing with people, and they all noticed Randall bringing Susan along.

"Randall, why'd you bring your girlfriend today?" someone teased.

"She's not my girlfriend, she's my sister," Randall corrected.

"Your sister? She's pretty," the guy said, giving Susan a once-over.

Susan looked around and saw it was a total dude fest, no women in sight. She clung to Randall's hand, feeling a bit out of place.

Seeing her discomfort, someone quickly made room for her on the sofa.

Randall didn't hesitate and led Susan to sit down.

"Randall, since you're here, take a look at this computer," someone called out.

Randall left Susan on the sofa and joined the group, diving into some tech stuff. Susan looked around, bored out of her mind.

After a bit, someone handed her a glass of water. She took it cautiously but didn't drink.

The guy smiled, "Don't worry, I'm a friend of Randall's."

"Thanks, but I'm not thirsty," Susan replied.

Randall overheard and said, "There's still the drink you bought this morning in the car. Don't waste it, drink that first." He tossed her the car keys.

Susan got the hint and didn't touch the water. She went back to the car and found her morning juice, barely touched.

She returned to the villa, handed Randall the car keys, and he said, "Keep the keys in your bag and wait for me over there."

Susan obediently went back to her spot.

Someone teased Randall, "Susan's so well-behaved. Why didn't you bring her to meet us before? I just got married this year. We have plenty of single guys here; you should pick one to be your brother-in-law." Another guy chimed in, "Randall, pick me. I can get divorced if needed, haha."

Randall shot him a look. "Susan's not my biological sister."

"A relative's?"

Randall closed the laptop and glared. "No blood relation."

Seeing Randall's serious face, Susan got a bit scared and called out, "Randall."

Randall glanced at her, his expression softening. "She's young and innocent, some jokes are off-limits."

Noticing Randall's displeasure, the guys quickly tried to lighten the mood. "Just kidding, don't get mad. We're not here to talk about girlfriends. Look at this computer bug, who can fix it?"

Susan pouted and tilted her head, watching Randall. Among the crowd, he was the only one who caught her eye.

'Was Randall jealous just now?' she wondered.

She leaned back on the sofa, feeling a bit down. It would've been nice if Vera and Molly were here.

She stayed with Randall at the villa until seven in the evening, and it was already dark outside.

Randall lost track of time, engrossed in what he loved. Occasionally, he'd glance back at Susan waiting on the sofa.

Susan yawned, tears welling up in her eyes. She rubbed her eyes, but it seemed she had rubbed her eyelashes into them, so she blinked rapidly and rubbed again. Eventually, her eyes hurt. She called out, "Randall."
