The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 468: Vera Finds a Girlfriend for Randall

Vera remarked, "No, Molly isn't quite there yet. They're still feeling each other out."

Randall pressed, "So Sebastian is into Molly, right? I'm sure he senses Molly's interest. Why's he acting like nothing's going on?"

Vera pondered, "Maybe it's not the right moment to speak up."

Randall stated bluntly, "So it's all up in the air."

Vera nodded in agreement. "Molly prefers it that way. Plus, Sebastian probably has his reasons."

Randall said, "That's right. If Sebastian spills everything, he'll struggle to explain it to his family and maintain a comfortable dynamic with Molly. And chances are, our family wouldn't be too keen on having Molly live in the Chase Manor." Vera reclined in her chair once more, shut her eyes, and relaxed. "Let's just watch this unfold slowly. Once Sebastian sets his sights on Molly, she won't slip away easily."

Randall asked, "Why are you so certain?"

"Call it a married woman's intuition."

Just then, Susan approached them from behind. "Vera, Randall, what are you talking about?"

Randall turned his head. "Grown-up talk, kiddo. Best not to pry."

Vera chuckled and glanced at Randall, "Randall, you're really embracing this whole 'adult' thing, huh?"

Randall quipped, "Well, you're stepping into motherhood, so that makes you an adult too, right?"

With that, he rose from his seat and headed back inside, citing the heat as his reason.

Vera gestured toward the empty chair beside her. "Susan, come join me for a chat."

A little while later, Molly, who had caught Sebastian's eye, made her way to the backyard and remarked to Vera, "Vera, are you feeling the heat too?"

Vera replied, "Well, you haven't experienced motherhood yet, so I'll forgive your lack of understanding."

Five minutes later, Vera got up, and Susan helped her back to the living room.

Patrick received a call from Jack; they had found a place for Susan.

Cindy curiously asked, "Susan. Why do you want to move out from the dormitory?"

A simple question left Susan at a loss for how to answer. If she said she had gotten into a fight, it would leave a bad impression. If she lied, what should she say?

Vera noticed Susan's dilemma and casually said, "That small dorm is crowded with many people, there's no privacy at all. If she has the means to move out, why shouldn't she?" Susan looked at Vera gratefully.

After ending the call, Patrick turned to Susan and said, "Hey Susan, there's a two-bedroom apartment available, it's just a 20-minute walk from Evergreen University. What do you think?"

Before Susan could answer, Randall, who was lying on the sofa, said, "A two bedroom place is too small. It wouldn't be safe for her to live alone. She should have a servant to take care of her and a study room, so she needs at least three bedrooms."

After saying that, Randall got up and sat next to Patrick, curiously asking, "Patrick, which neighborhood is the house in? A 20-minute walk? Let me see. The neighborhoods are quite chaotic now. It wouldn't be safe for her to live alone. A high- end neighborhood would be better."

Vera raised an eyebrow, noting that Randall seemed quite concerned about Suan.

Vera suddenly said to Cindy, "Cindy, I want some milk." Cindy got up. "I'll get it."

"I'll go with you."

Vera called Cindy away. On the way out, she said to Cindy, "Cindy, what do you think of Susan?"

Cindy praised her. "Susan is amazing. She's beautiful, a great cook, has a wonderful personality, and is obedient and sensible. She excels in her studies! "

Vera thought to herself, 'If Susan doesn't study hard, she won't be able to get into Evergreen University.'

Vera asked, "How old is Randall?"

Cindy replied, "He's 21."

Vera smiled. "And how old will he be in three years?"

Cindy said, "He'll be 24."

Vera inquired, "What should he be doing at 24?"

Cindy found herself speechless.

She looked at Vera, who was scheming, and smiled, holding Vera's hand excitedly. "Vera, I just love you!"

Vera smiled and said, "I just found out that Susan doesn't have a boyfriend."

Randall still acted like a kid at home; he was not mature at all. If he had a girl he liked, it could be a catalyst for his growth and understanding of responsibility, which wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Patrick had already investigated the rumors at school. If Susan were not a good person, Patrick wouldn't have brought her home for dinner. Vera trusted Patrick's judgment.

Also, after hanging out with Susan today, she appeared unlike other rich girls-very laid-back, which meant she really clicked with Randall.

Besides, Vera thought that Susan seemed to have feelings for Randall.

Cindy left for a while and then reappeared in the living room. "Patrick, Susan doesn't need to move out. Our house is big enough; she can stay here."

Patrick and Vincent looked at Cindy in astonishment. Randall was also stunned. "Mom, what did you say?"

Even Susan was puzzled and looked at Cindy innocently.

Cindy said to Patrick, "Mr. Morales only has one daughter. If you let her move out, we wouldn't be at ease, even if we hired a servant for her. Who knows what kind of person the servant would be? What if someone bullies her?

"We have a big house, and Vera, Molly, and Randall cab keep her company. Besides, they all attend the same school and can commute together every day, right?" Cindy added, "If she moves out, we'll have to worry, and it would be difficult for her."

Patrick's gaze was fixed on Vera, who was sitting there holding a cup of hot milk. Puckering her lips, she gently blew on the milk before taking a cautious sip to prevent burning herself.

Vera's adorable antics tugged at Patrick's heartstrings, even though she was being a little mischievous.

Randall said, "I disagree. I'm finally free from being Vera's driver, and now you want me to be Susan's driver? If you want to do it, go ahead."

Susan said, "Cindy, thank you, but I believe I should move out."

Cindy inquired, "Susan, what if you face danger living on your own? Can your place be as secure as it is here? With the rise in crime these days-stalking, break-ins, even murder and arson-you can't be too careful. If something were to happen. to you, how would Patrick explain it to Ulysses?

"Do you know how to drive? Do you have friends nearby? If you need to go somewhere, how will you manage? If you feel lonely, who will keep you company? Depression affects many people these days, and it's a frightening condition. I'm not trying to scare you; I genuinely care about you and want you to stay."

Even though Randall was childish, he understood the key point. Cindy's intention was to keep Susan here so she would be his wife.
