The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

"Yes, it's her," Glen replied.

The old man on the sofa laughed. "A little girl can make you so angry? I'm curious about her now."

Glen felt embarrassed. He hesitated, unsure how to explain the annoying skills of the girl his boss mentioned.

Glen wasn't there to talk about Vera; he wanted the boss to help him through a tough situation. "Boss, how do we solve the Tooker Group's predicament?"

"In five days, Mr. Roberts is hosting a birthday party. That's an opportunity."

Glen stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your help, boss."

However, he hadn't slept all day.

Vera, on the other hand, had slept all day and woke up in the afternoon.

Vera lay in bed, wrapped in a satin quilt. Her fair arms were exposed, and she groped around on the bed until she found her phone. She picked it up and glanced at the time. It was 3:00 PM.

Vera sighed, tossed the phone on the bed, and pulled the quilt over her face. Under the covers, she couldn't stop cursing Patrick, wishing she could beat him up.

Patrick was at the company, having finished a meeting. He guessed that Vera should be awake by now at home.

So, Patrick called Vera.

The first call was hung up, and the second call went straight to voicemail.

Patrick looked at his phone and said indulgently, "So young, yet such a bad temper."

Patrick wasn't angry. He put down his phone and aimed to get home early to be with Vera.

He looked at the evening engagements and pushed aside the unnecessary ones.

By 6:00 PM, Patrick had left the company.

At home.

Vera was sitting on the sofa, her legs curled up, her hair messy, and she looked like she had just woken up.

When Patrick came back, Vera just glanced at him.

Patrick sat next to Vera, and she got up and sat next to Shawn.

Shawn's eyes darted between Vera and Patrick.

Shawn was curious, thinking, 'What's going on with them now?'

To avoid trouble, Shawn got up and sat next to Randall.

Patrick got up and sat where Shawn had been before.

Vera got up again and moved to sit next to Shawn and Randall.

Shawn and Randall sensed something was off.

Randall, feeling a sense of crisis, called out to Shawn, "Shawn, let's go."

Shawn and Randall both got up and left the living room.

Now, only Patrick and Vera were left.

Patrick moved next to Vera again, and before she could get up, he wrapped her in his arms. He asked indulgently, "Vera, are you mad again?" Vera replied, "Isn't it obvious?"

Patrick laughed and ruffled Vera's hair, saying, "I specifically pushed aside engagements to come back and be with you today."

"As a husband, this is your duty. Do you want me to praise you for it? If you don't want to be with me, I can go marry another man." Patrick replied, "Nonsense."

Patrick held Vera and asked, "What time did you get up?"

"I woke up at three in the afternoon, got up at four, went out at five, and it's not even six now."

Vera's tone was full of coquettishness, and she couldn't help but complain to Patrick: "When I went out just now, everyone was looking at me. I had no face at all."

Patrick took the opportunity to promote his Cherry Villa. "How about moving out? At Cherry Villa, no one will see you even if you don't go out for a day. Plus, Cherry Villa is our home. The scenery is better, the air is fresher, life is more convenient, and it's closer to your parents' house."

Vera shook her head, unmoved.

Patrick continued, "How about I take you to see it first and then decide?"

Vera shook her head again. "No."

Vera was sulking, and she wouldn't listen to anything Patrick said.

Patrick gave up trying to persuade her.

During dinner, Patrick lightly mentioned his plan to move back to Cherry Villa.

As a result, the whole family, except for Randall, refused to let them move back to Cherry Villa.

Shawn said, "If you want to go, you go. Vera stays."

Cindy asked, "We're living well here. Why move out?"

Vincent also said, "Christmas is coming soon. It's inconvenient to move back and forth. Let's stay home."

Cindy added, "Now that Molly is back, and she's good friends with Vera, if Vera doesn't live here, Molly won't either." Shawn nodded in agreement.

Patrick said, "Molly also has Randall as a friend."

Cindy glanced at Randall and shook her head in disdain.

Randall was confused. "Mom, what do you mean? You look at me and then shake your head. Just say what you want to say." Cindy replied, "I don't want to hurt your feelings."

Before Vera could say anything, the whole family said that they didn't want her to leave. She was so popular in Patrick's family. Patrick had to think of another way.

In the evening, Shawn suddenly received a voice message from Jackson. "I'm having a birthday party on Friday. Bring all your family members with you, especially Patrick's wife, who is good at games."

Shawn also sent a voice message. He held his phone up to his face, pressed the voice button on Facebook, and brought the phone to his lips, saying, "Patrick's wife's name is Vera. Don't just remember that she is great at games." Jackson sent another voice message to chat with Shawn. "I'm really curious about Vera. You have to bring her on Friday."

Shawn agreed.

Shawn went out to find Vera to talk about it.

Patrick and Vera were about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Vera looked at Patrick, asking, "Patrick, who is it?"

Vera was still wearing a camisole nightgown, which exposed her skin a lot, so it wasn't convenient for her to go out.

Patrick didn't let Vera go out. "I'll get the door."

Patrick closed his book, placed it on the bed, and got up to open the door.

When he opened the door, Shawn was waiting outside. "Where's Vera?"

Patrick replied, "She's asleep. If you have something to say, tell me."

Shawn said, "Well, Jackson is having a party on Friday. Let Vera know. If we have time, the whole family will go."

Patrick nodded. "I'll ask her."

Shawn left, muttering as he went, "Slept until the afternoon and went to bed before nine at night. Do young people these days get tired so easily?" Patrick closed the door.

He went to the bedside and looked at Vera, whose eyes were wide open. "Did you hear that?"

Vera nodded.

Patrick asked, "Are you going?"

Vera shook her head. "I don't really want to go."

Patrick didn't force Vera. "I'll tell my dad tomorrow."

The next day, when Shawn found out Vera didn't want to go, he got anxious.

If Vera didn't go, how could Shawn show off to his old friends?

No, Vera had to go.

While Patrick was at work, Shawn found Vera and asked, "Vera, why don't you go to the party with me?"

Vera said, "I've never been to one. I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself." In Vera's family, Warren always took Brianna to parties, never her.

Vera had never been to a single party.

Shawn found Vera's honesty adorable. "It's okay. I will take you. We won't embarrass ourselves."

Vera still shook her head.

Later, Shawn tricked Vera, saying, "Your rival in love will be there too."
