The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 332 Vera Seriously Counts the Days

Molly nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to Randall."

She ended up ignoring the Facebook friend request.

At Vertex Innovations Group, Alan stared at the friend request he had sent, but there was still no response.

He messaged the woman who gave him the Facebook number: [Ms. Powell, is this really Molly's Facebook account?]

Clara Powell replied: [I even gave you her phone number. Why would I lie? I'll ask Molly if she sees it. Alan, if you win Molly over, you better thank me properly.] Alan texted back: [Definitely.]

During class, Molly's phone buzzed again. She glanced at it and saw a Facebook message from Clara, someone she hadn't talked to in a while.

Clara: [Molly, you there?]

Molly put down her pen, staring at Clara's message, lost in thought.

After class, Molly told Vera and Randall, "I know who leaked my info."

Vera looked at Molly's phone and said, "This might happen again. Molly, you should get a private number."

Molly frowned, putting down her phone. "Shouldn't she have asked me before giving out my number and Facebook?"

Randall added, "Molly, be careful. If you don't meet him today, he might show up at school soon. You're the campus belle; it won't be hard to find you."

Molly and Vera thought it was unlikely. Molly had said she was busy, so he definitely wouldn't come.

After school, Molly saw Alan standing outside the gate and was stunned. "Randall, you were right."

Randall guessed who it was from Molly's tone and said, "Men understand men."

Alan walked over to the three with a smile. "Molly, done with school?"

Molly looked at the uninvited guest, annoyed. "School's out, but I have other things to do. Alan, why are you here?"

Alan sensed Molly's hostility and knew what had upset her. He said, "A classmate of mine teaches here. I came to see him and thought of you, so I decided to see if I could run into you."

Randall sneered, "Quite a coincidence. You guessed Molly's number, came to see a classmate, and still managed to run into her."

Alan's smile faded as he looked at Randall, who looked hostile at the moment. "Are you Molly's friend?"

Alan sized up Randall, who looked quite good. He thought, 'Could he be Molly's boyfriend?' Vera said, "He's my nephew."

Alan looked at Vera, noticing her pregnant belly first, then asked curiously, "And you are?"

"Vera, Patrick Olteran's wife," Vera replied.

Alan looked at her in disbelief. She was Patrick's wife! "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Olteran. I didn't expect to meet you here today. Seems like fate. I'm Alan Miller, manager at Vertex Innovations Group. Just got back from overseas after finishing my PhD last year. Hope to work with Patrick in the future."

Vera replied, "Please don't be fated with me. If Patrick hears about this, he'll get angry."

All three had a bit of hostility toward Alan. He smiled awkwardly but was determined to achieve his goal. He turned to Molly and asked, "Molly, can I add you on Facebook?"

Randall took out his phone. "Add me instead. I'm their assistant. If you need anything, just contact me."

Vera and Molly exchanged glances, both silently awarding Randall the Best Nephew certificate in their minds.

Alan gave Molly one last look, reluctantly added Randall on Facebook, and asked in a hostile tone, "What's your name?"

Randall, unfazed by Alan's hostility, casually replied, "Just note me as Patrick's nephew."

Alan had underestimated Randall, thinking he was just Molly and Vera's sidekick. But hearing his introduction, Alan's hand paused.

He thought, 'So Randall is also part of the Olteran family?'

After adding Randall on Facebook, the three left.

Once in the car, Randall put down his phone, "Molly, does he still not know you're part of the Olteran family?"

Molly nodded. "Only my family knows my true identity. Others still think I'm part of the Chase family. My classmates only know I changed my name but don't know about my relationship with you."

From the earlier interaction, Randall didn't think highly of Alan. He was cautious and advised Molly, "Molly, don't tell him too much. I'm afraid you'll run into someone difficult to shake off."

In matters like this, Vera and Molly always listened to Randall. "Okay, I won't say anything."

Vera sat in the back seat, silent for a while, then sent a message to Noah on her phone.

Vera: [Noah, help me check on Alan from Vertex Innovations Group.]

Noah looked at the message on his phone and quickly replied: [Am I omnipotent?]

Vera: [Don't make me mad. I'm pregnant now.]

Noah quickly replied: [Alright. I'll get you the results in three days. Take care of my future nephew.]

Back at the Olteran family, Randall also started investigating Alan.

After dropping off Molly and Vera, he drove to another place.

Watching the car disappear, Vera said, "Molly, haven't you noticed your future boyfriend is going to have a hard time?"

She had two fathers, three brothers, a nephew, and two sisters-in-law. If even one person disagreed, the relationship wouldn't work out, especially Sebastian. Molly said, "Actually, I'm quite worried. What if you have three kids and I'm still single?"

Vera looked at her protruding belly and replied, "It's okay. Patrick will definitely let you pick one of our kids."

Molly asked, "Are you really planning to have three kids?"

Talking about this, Vera felt like she had missed something. "Molly, wait for me to do some math. I think the timing of my pregnancy is off."

She had originally planned to get pregnant in her senior year and have Patrick write her thesis. But the baby came early!

She needed to calculate the time.

When Patrick came home from work, he saw Vera diligently studying, counting on her fingers and muttering, "July, August, September." Patrick saw the scribbles on the paper, with no apparent pattern.

He asked, "What are you counting?"

Vera frowned. "Honey, I think I have to get pregnant with the second child less than six months after the first."

Patrick was puzzled. "Why the rush?"

He hadn't pressured Vera to keep having kids.

Vera said, "If I don't, you won't write my thesis for me."

Then, he affectionately pinched Vera's nose. "Vera, you're so lazy. If you hadn't married me, wouldn't you still have to write your thesis yourself?" Vera replied, "No, I could still leave it to Randall or Noah."
