The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Molly stood silently beside Randall.

The professor had no idea what was going on. Ever since Patrick arrived, his lectures had been unfocused, and he felt uneasy.

As soon as the class bell rang, the professor greeted Patrick and quickly left with his books.

The students in the classroom looked at Patrick in the front row, too afraid to get up and leave.

When Vera looked up again, her eyes were red. She rushed over and hugged Patrick. Patrick held her with one arm, "It's okay, I'll stay with you in class today. Let's see who dares to say anything." Vera, with a nasal tone and a sob, replied, "Okay."

Molly said, "Patrick, Vera is crying because she's touched by you."

Patrick told Molly, "From now on, report everything about Vera at school to me. If anyone says anything bad, give me their name, class, and student ID."

Molly nodded emphatically. "Don't worry, Patrick. I've got this."

Those who had been secretly warned by Patrick didn't dare to make a sound, their hearts pounding.

After two more classes, there were still two left.

The classroom changed, and Vera stood up. Patrick carried all her books.

His phone rang, and Patrick answered it with one hand while holding the books and keeping an arm around Vera's shoulder.

Seeing this, Randall silently took the books to free up Patrick's hand to hold Vera.

Students were curious about Molly's identity. She wasn't originally Mia Chase, so why did she change her name to Molly Olteran? What was going on?

Patrick deliberately didn't drive. He held Vera's hand and walked with the crowd to the next classroom.

On the way, people frequently looked at Patrick, puzzled as to why he was there.

Patrick had a car but didn't use it. He walked hand in hand with Vera on campus, deliberately letting everyone see that he was accompanying her to class.

Two little followers trailed behind Vera and Patrick. Molly, with her hands in her pockets, said to Randall, who was holding three books, "When I find a boyfriend, I want someone like Patrick." Randall replied, "Well, I definitely won't find a girlfriend like you or Vera."

On the way, Patrick arranged some company matters. Sophia asked, "Mr. Olteran, is everything okay at home?"

Patrick replied, "Everything's fine. I'm just at school with Vera."

After hanging up, Patrick accompanied Vera up the steps.

That day, Patrick indeed stayed by Vera's side.

By noon, the whole school knew.

The students began to gossip again. "I heard that during their accounting class, the book used financial data from the Olteran Group from five years ago, and the data was wrong. Patrick noticed it and corrected it on the spot. It was hilarious." "Really, I was in that class. The data was wrong, so the final result was wrong. Our teacher had to recalculate the annual net income in front of Patrick. I could feel the teacher's nervousness."

"Patrick really dotes on Vera. He said he'd accompany her to class, and he really did."

"I heard Vera has a full schedule in the afternoon too. Her classmates are lucky to sit in the same classroom as Patrick."

"I feel sorry for the afternoon teachers."

In the afternoon, Patrick indeed sat in the classroom with Vera.

The teacher taught under immense pressure.

After class, he took Vera for a walk.

Molly and Randall wanted to buy ice cream, and Vera wanted to go to the store with them. Patrick held her back outside, "Let them eat and get a stomachache. We won't eat." "Honey, I won't eat. I just want to look." Vera leaned towards the store entrance, and Patrick scooped her up into his arms.

Holding her waist, Patrick restricted her movements. "Be good. I'll show you something better. Let's not look at this."

Vera's eyes were glued to the ice cream freezer at the store entrance.

"Honey, just one look. I want to smell it."

"Smelling it will make you nauseous. There's something better ahead. I'll take you there." Patrick coaxed her like a child, half-hugging her as they left.

Vera turned to look at Randall and Molly eating at the entrance. She pointed and said, "Honey, I'll buy it for Shawn. I won't eat it."

"He can't eat it either. He's old and not in good health." Patrick turned and scolded Molly and Randall, "Turn around and eat. Don't let Vera see." Randall and Molly turned their backs in unison as they ate.

Vera watched the ice cream disappear from her sight with longing eyes.

"When we get home, I'm going to tell Shawn that you wouldn't let me buy him anything."

Patrick held Vera as they returned to the classroom.

A rumor quickly spread that Vera loved ice cream, but Patrick wouldn't let her eat it.

However, everyone still firmly believed that Patrick loved Vera and was just showing his love in a way that was good for her.

After Randall and Molly finished their ice cream, Patrick sternly criticized them to make Vera feel better.

Only then did Vera feel at ease.

Patrick opened Vera's calcium bottle, took out two pills, and handed them to her, "Take these."

Vera immediately chewed them and washed them down with water.

Patrick's presence in class had one downside: he would confiscate phones.

In front of the "parent" were three confiscated phones, and the three "kids" beside him obediently held their pens, looking at their books and listening to the teacher.

If Vera got distracted, Patrick would tap her hand. If Vera tried to sleep, Patrick would pinch her cheek.

"Honey, you should go. The whole school knows you love me, spoil me, and treat me well. That's enough. Go make money to support me." Vera started to shoo Patrick away. Patrick said he'd stay for a day, and he did, until the last class ended. When it was over, he stood up, his back aching.

Patrick realized that Vera didn't have it easy either.

After a short evening class, the four of them returned to the Olteran family home.

As soon as they entered, Patrick pulled Vera back to the bedroom and began clumsily massaging her waist. "Why didn't you tell me your back was sore before?" Vera pouted. "I've been through worse. This is nothing."

"What's worse?"

Vera bit her lip and gave Patrick a meaningful look.

Patrick understood.

Downstairs, Shawn heard about Patrick's actions today and was very pleased. "Patrick seems to have learned a thing or two," Shawn remarked with a pleased expression.

Molly then relayed the gossip from the classroom to Shawn. "Dad, you have no idea. They all wish our family treated Vera badly. Their words were more sour than the lemon you drank last time." Randall patted Molly. "Molly, why are you bringing that up again?" Shawn hadn't found a chance to scold him for that incident yet, and Molly was bringing it up again.

Seeing that Randall had been behaving lately, Molly generously said, "Alright, I won't mention the lemon juice incident."
