Chapter 9 Finding Faults
"I'm not leaving. I want to be with you. Patrick, let's run away. Let's leave this place! Why? Why did you marry her?"
Emma cried herself to exhaustion in the end.
When the Tooker family arrived, she didn't want to leave. In the end, Patrick carried her out and handed her over to the Tooker family. "Take good care of her."
This night gave Patrick a headache.
He went to the study, flipping through the information he had received from Shawn page by page.
Patrick didn't know if marrying a girl he didn't know for information was right or wrong.
He thought, ‘We are just using each other.’
With this thought, he wasn't as conflicted anymore.
The next morning, when Vera got up and sat at the dining table, someone handed her a basin of water.
She didn't understand what this meant.
Cindy mocked, "Different families have different upbringing. You don't even know about this? Even if you don't know, your family should have a television, right? Or is it that your family looks down on even watching television?"
Seeing someone mocking her, Vera clenched her fists and told herself, "You have to endure it."
Then, Vera watched Cindy's actions and slowly imitated her movements.
Cindy looked down on her and muttered, "You are so inferior compared to Emma. How did they end up choosing a woman like you?"
Vincent coughed on the side and reminded Cindy, "Since Vera doesn't know, you can teach her. Why do you have to bring up others?"
"I just want to compare them. Can't I?" Cindy sneered at Vera across from her. "If anyone introduces such a woman to my son in the future, I'll die in front of that person."
"Enough!" Vincent wasn't a fool and could understand Cindy's words.
Cindy was criticizing him and Shawn for finding a bad wife for Patrick.
"You have no right to be involved in Patrick's marriage." It was still morning, but Vincent was already very angry.
Shawn slowly approached. "What are you arguing about?"
After a good sleep, his mood improved a lot and he wasn't angry about what had happened with Vera last night.
After sitting down, Shawn noticed that there was no one next to Vera. He asked, "Vera, where's Patrick? Go call him down for breakfast."
Vera looked at the empty seat next to her and didn't know how to say that Patrick wasn't home.
Tom understood Vera's dilemma, so he directly said, "Mr. Patrick wasn't home last night. He should have gone to the office."
"What? He went to the office on his wedding night? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on him? Why didn't anyone tell me about this last night? What are you trying to do?" Shawn was very angry.
Cindy interrupted, "He doesn't like the woman lying next to him, so he definitely wants to stay away from her."
Vincent angrily said, "Shut up."
This was the second day of Vera and Patrick's marriage. She had been bullied to such an extent without saying a word.
Vincent couldn't stand Cindy's behavior, so he grabbed her and left the dining table.
Shawn angrily slammed the table and said, "Go bring Patrick back for me. He's gone too far."
"Yes, Sir."
After returning to the bedroom, Vincent let go of Cindy's hand. He pointed at her and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're dissatisfied and unsatisfied. But you're just Patrick's sister-in-law and have no right to interfere in Patrick's marriage! And don't think I don't know about your plans for Randall. Whatever Randall wants to do in the future, that's Randall's business, and you can't choose his path in life for him."
"What do you mean by this? Explain yourself clearly. What plans do I have? Vincent, I've been married to you for twenty years and still don't compare to Vera, who only became part of your family yesterday! Vera is the woman you love, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Vincent gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and almost hit Cindy in the face.
