The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Vera held her phone and quickly typed in the number.

Noah's eyelids lowered slightly. For someone as lazy as Vera, she hadn't even memorized her number, but she remembered that man's number! Vera put the phone to her ear. After three rings, the call connected.

Patrick answered, "Hello?"

Under Noah's watchful eyes, Vera whispered, "Honey, I'm really in trouble this time."

When Patrick heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He dreaded hearing her soft voice tell him she was in trouble again.

"This time, you're in trouble too. The big troublemaker has been educated, and now the little one is reporting in."

Patrick wondered what she meant. Who was the little troublemaker? Where?

Noah couldn't stand it anymore. "Tell him to get over here right now."

Vera kept it brief and told Patrick, "City Hospital, Emergency Room. You need to come and sign as my family member."

Before Patrick could respond, Noah snatched the phone from Vera and hung up.

Pointing a finger at Vera, Noah warned through gritted teeth, "This isn't over!"

Noah had been home for almost half a month and was supposed to return to school the day after tomorrow, but now this had happened.

The teacher had already called, and Noah spoke directly with the teacher from the hospital room, "I need to extend my leave."

In less than half an hour, Patrick's car was parked at the hospital's emergency room. He got out and entered the emergency hall.

His appearance stunned the patients and staff in the emergency room. Why was Patrick here?

Patrick walked in and asked a nurse, "Excuse me, where is Vera?"

"Who?" The nurse didn't react immediately, but then she remembered the pretty but delusional pregnant woman who always dreamed she was Patrick's wife and wasn't lucid. Then she replied, "She's in Ward No.6." Patrick walked into the room, with nurses and doctors secretly watching him.

Patrick pushed open the door and saw Vera half-lying on the bed.

"Honey." As soon as Vera spoke, everyone was shocked!

The nurses and doctors at the door were stunned. Was she telling the truth? Was Patrick really her husband? Was the baby in her belly Patrick's? Had Patrick's child almost been lost?

Noah looked at the man he once admired and heard Vera call out again.

In that instant, a bomb went off in Noah's mind.

He asked, "Patrick, didn't you two not know each other?"

On the bed, Vera began to hand over her mess to Patrick. Patrick turned to look at the furious Noah. "Your sister likes to act, and I act along with her."

Noah's fists clenched. He looked at Patrick's face, holding back the urge to punch him.

He looked at Vera on the bed and said, "Vera, well done!" Then he stormed out in anger.

Patrick walked over to the bed, looking at Vera's hand with the IV, and asked displeasedly, "Aren't you usually the one putting others in the hospital? How did you get hurt this time? Did you forget my rule? You can fight, but you must win." Patrick frowned and began to check Vera's body. Her arms were fine, no injuries on her neck, face, legs, or feet. He asked coldly, "Where are you hurt?"

Vera pitifully pointed to her lower abdomen and replied, "He's hurt."

Patrick didn't understand what Vera meant.

Moreover, Vera's words were vague, and he thought she had injured an internal organ.

Then he said, "Whatever's hurt, eat more to recover when we get home."

Outside, Noah started calling Warren and Brianna, "Did you know my sister got married?"

Inside the room, a nurse entered hesitantly with a form. "Patrick, this is Mrs. Olteran's form. We need you to sign as her family member so we can transfer her to another room." Patrick took the form, but Vera quickly covered the content with her hands.

The form listed her condition, and Patrick would know she was pregnant if he read it. Such an important matter, she wanted to tell Patrick herself.

"Honey, are you ready?"

"What?"

Vera looked into Patrick's eyes and said, "Are you ready to support a big troublemaker mom and a little troublemaker son?"

A huge wave seemed to crash over Patrick. Though he was sitting, he felt like he was being knocked back by the "wave."

Patrick's hand couldn't grip the pen. When emotions peak, fingers lose strength, making it impossible to write. Patrick was in that state now, unable to hold anything. His voice was hoarse. "Vera, what did you just say?"

Seeing Patrick's overwhelming joy, Vera repeated, "There are two troublemakers. One is me, and the other is our kid. Can you handle it?"

Patrick couldn't speak for a long time. Looking at Vera on the bed, he felt a tremor for the first time. "Of course I can. Even ten, I can handle!"

"Let's not go for ten. Just educate the two you have first," Vera said.

Vera removed her hands from the form. "The nurse said the child's father needs to sign. Honey, make sure your signature looks good. This is your first time signing for us." So, Patrick carefully signed his name, Patrick Olteran, in the family member section.

In the relationship section, he clearly wrote: Husband.

It was the most serious he had ever been about writing, not sloppy or cursive, but neatly his name.

After handing it to the nurse, Patrick turned to look at the youthful Vera.

She was still a child. How could she be carrying his child?

He asked, "Vera, how did you end up in the hospital?"

Vera avoided his gaze and said, "Honey, you don't want to know. I'm afraid if I tell you, you'll be so angry no one will take care of us."

Outside, during the conversation, Warren and Brianna from the Linister family arrived.

Brianna grabbed the agitated Noah. "What did you say on the phone? Vera is pregnant?"

Noah complained, "Two months, Mom, two months! In eight months, I'll be an uncle. My sister got married, and I didn't even know!" No one could understand Noah's anger.

Warren knew they were wrong. Every night, he and his wife discussed how to tell Noah, but they never expected him to find out like this. Warren said, "Noah, calm down. Vera just found out she's pregnant. Don't scare her."

"Scare her? Do you think I'm that capable of scaring her?" Clearly, Noah was the one scared.

To care for Vera's emotions, the family calmed each other down outside and tried to enter with a pleasant demeanor.

However, as soon as they entered, they saw Vera clinging to Patrick's neck, refusing to let go. "Honey, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it." Patrick was very angry.
