The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 308 Honey, be careful

The Olteran family was finally expecting a new member after twenty years.

When he got home, he told Savannah's photo about Vera's pregnancy.

Savannah had passed away, so Brianna took on the responsibility of caring for Vera.

Vera was discharged from the hospital after a week of observation.

The Olteran family came to pick her up, and Cindy said she had free time and could take care of Vera.

Later, Vera refused, saying she felt more comfortable with Brianna around, and Noah would be leaving in a few days, so she wanted to spend more time with him.

Mentioning Noah, the Olteran family knew what was going on, so they let Vera go back.

Because Noah couldn't accept the fact that Vera was already married, Patrick didn't disturb them either. He dropped Vera off at the Linister family's door, made an excuse about going to the company, and drove away. The one who felt sorry for Patrick was Vera. Watching him leave with an excuse, Vera felt bad and stood at the door, watching the car drive away.

Vera asked, "Mom, Dad, do you think I'm too harsh on Patrick?"

Patrick always made concessions for her every single time. She couldn't remember doing anything for Patrick, and she couldn't remember doing anything for Patrick; it seemed like she was always causing trouble. Warren and Brianna noticed Vera's low mood but didn't say anything.

Back home, Noah saw only Warren, Brianna, and Vera, but not Patrick. He asked, "Doesn't he even want to step inside?"

"It's because you don't accept Patrick. He respects your feelings and doesn't come in."

Noah scoffed and carried Vera's luggage upstairs.

Since Noah found out about Patrick's identity, Vera no longer hid when she answered his calls; she took them directly into the living room.

Sometimes, when she missed Patrick, she would call him directly, even showing their affection in front of Noah multiple times.

Patrick would drive nearby in the evening, and after dinner, Vera would run out to meet him. "Honey."

When she ran, Patrick's heart would tighten with worry!

He complained, "Vera, can you listen to the doctor?"

"I can. The doctor told me not to get angry, and I'm not. If I get angry, I vent it immediately, and no one dares to upset a pregnant woman, especially your wife." Patrick added, "The doctor also told you not to jump around at home."

Vera was about to deny jumping around but then remembered how she had just run. She stuck out her tongue, realizing she had been hopping left and right instead. Patrick asked, "Shall I take you to school on Monday?"

"Sure, honey, I haven't kissed you in days. Let me kiss you."

Patrick picked up Vera, lowered his head, and Vera quickly kissed him on the lips.

Noah, spying from the shadows, murmured, "How disgusting."

Patrick, knowing it was time for their walk, took Vera back. He glanced at the corner, his eyes falling on a shadow on the ground.

He pretended not to see Noah following him and turned to leave.

Every time Vera and Patrick went on a date, Noah would follow them secretly.

He wanted to see if Patrick treated Vera well. Not only did Patrick notice, but Warren did, too.

One day, Warren called Noah into the study and talked with him for a long time.

He told Noah, "Noah, no matter how dissatisfied you are with Patrick, he is still Vera's husband and the father of her child." Warren continued, "You are still young and might not understand everything. Why does Patrick come to our door every day but not come in? Because he loves Vera and doesn't want to make things difficult for her."

"If he comes in, you will be unhappy. If you're unhappy, your sister will feel bad. So, he never comes in, just drops her off at the door and leaves. But think about it, does Vera feel good when he leaves every time?" Noah was silent.

Warren continued, "Noah, I know you care about Vera, just like you told us not to impose our idea of what's good on you. You should also reflect on whether you're imposing your idea of true love on Vera." "She is not a child anymore; she can discern. If Patrick didn't love her or wasn't good to her, why would she be so happy every day during her pregnancy?"

"I don't know what the future holds, but right now, I know who your sister loves. Noah, don't underestimate a woman's decision to have a child with a man. It's because of love that she's willing to create a new life with him."

"Don't let your anger cloud your judgment. What you think is true love is just your opinion. What your sister has, whether it's a passionate romance or a peaceful life, is what she likes. What she likes, you might not." Perhaps Warren's words struck a chord with him, and Noah began to reflect on his behavior.

He saw that when Vera and Patrick were together, things didn't happen as he had imagined, but both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

Patrick was calm, and Vera was lively. He was bothered by Vera's initiative and sometimes wondered why Patrick wasn't more proactive.

Warren said one last thing, "Patrick is still the man you admired, only his role has changed from the president of the Olteran Group to your sister's husband. And you, still the same admirer, have now become the brother of his wife." Noah left the study and went straight to his bedroom.

He lay on the bed, contemplating Warren's words.

The next day, Noah went out alone.

When he returned, he was carrying a lot of pork.

Brianna said Noah bought too much meat, more than they could eat. But Noah took the meat to the kitchen and started chopping it by hand instead of using a meat grinder.

He chopped the meat as if he wanted to break the cutting board.

Vera peeked at Noah's large knife and the pitiful meat on the table from the doorway.

At that moment, Noah stopped chopping.

He turned to look at Vera at the door, and for a moment, Vera felt like she was the meat on the cutting board, about to be chopped by Noah.

Noah said, "Tell him to come over for dinner."

Vera knew "him" and referred to Patrick.

She shook her head and replied, "I don't dare."

Noah chopped the board forcefully again, and Vera's shoulders shrank in fear. "I'll go call him right now."

Patrick was about to leave to accompany Vera for a walk with the Linister family when he got a call from Vera. "Honey, I need to tell you something. Be prepared."

"Okay, as long as it's not you getting into a fight, I can handle anything."

Vera glanced towards the kitchen, "Noah went out today and bought a lot of pork to chop. He told me to call you for dinner. I didn't dare, so he threatened me with a knife." She started to whine and complain. Patrick, sitting in his car, replied, "Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."

Vera said, "Honey, remember to bring a weapon for self-defense. I can't protect you while I'm pregnant."

Patrick chuckled, replaceing Vera adorable. "I am your protector. It's always my job to protect you two. You should never have to stand in front of me to protect me."

Vera pursed her lips. "Then be careful on your way over."
