The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

Vera asked, "Is it because your wife is picking you up?"

Patrick nodded, looking at the road ahead. "Yes, my 'kitty' has learned to drive and will be picking up her tipsy husband from now on." Vera felt a surge of anticipation.

"Honey, if you know you're going to drink, just send me the address, and I'll come get you."

"Okay."

Throughout the journey, Vera drove very steadily.

Diligently learning something, even without talent, effort wouldn't not disappoint.

They arrived at the restaurant Vera mentioned.

She was ready to find a parallel parking spot.

But it was precisely the afternoon, and being a Saturday, many people had come, and all the parking spots were taken.

She dreaded reverse parking the most, and there were five spots, all requiring reverse parking.

She frowned.

Patrick, seeing Vera's expression, knew this was challenging for her.

"Vera, park the car. I'll reverse it for you."

Vera's brows instantly relaxed as she looked at Patrick.

For some reason, Patrick's words just now felt like the sweetest confession, even better than "I love you."

She smiled, parked the car, and got out.

The hotel staff were stunned. Were they not parking?

Vera smiled and said, "I can't park it. I'll let my husband do it."

The staff thought, 'Being married is great for having a man to rely on.'

Vera felt that having a husband was wonderful.

Her husband being Patrick was the best thing in the world.

Patrick got into the car, one hand controlling the gear shift, the other on the steering wheel. He glanced at the side mirrors and smoothly reversed the car into the spot.

Vera clapped in admiration. "Honey, you're amazing."

Patrick laughed out loud. Was he really that amazing for such a small task?

He got out of the car, taking Vera's bag from the armrest.

He locked the door with one hand and carried Vera's bag with the other.

Vera clung to him.

"Honey, can you teach me to park at home?"

Patrick pinched her cheek. "I'll get enough benefits from you, and I'll teach you everything without reservation."

During the meal, Patrick's phone rang frequently.

Vera muttered, "Why can't employees rest on weekends? What a lousy company!"

Patrick said, "Vera, the company is mine."

Vera replied frankly,  "I was deliberately complaining about you."

Patrick realized Vera was jealous. In her plans, today was their perfect date.

However, he was always tied up with work.

So, Patrick, being a doting husband, informed his employees in the work group.

Patrick: [During weekends, unless it's a major event, no one is allowed to work overtime.]

Then, Patrick posted a News Feed: [On a date, no work interruptions.]

The picture was a beautiful shot of Vera.

The first to like it was Shawn.

He was always the first to respond to News Feeds.

He didn't forget to comment.

Shawn commented: [This photo of Vera is very skillfully taken. She's so beautiful.]

Randall commented: [Uncle Patrick, how many levels of beauty filter did you use?]

Ian commented: [Don't be overjoyed. In a few days, if your wife goes missing, don't ask me to find her.]

Scott commented: [Your wife looks gentle and cute in the picture, but you still can't fight back when such a girl hits you!]

Owen commented: [Showing off your love will lead to a quick breakup. Waiting for the day you get kicked.]

Reliable Joshua came online.

Joshua commented: [Too many people are showing off. Coffins prices are up, 3,000 dollars each, no cash accepted, only bank transfers, DM for account details.] Patrick glanced at the News Feed, put down his phone, and said to Vera, "Vera, do you feel like hitting someone?" "What?"

Patrick complained, "Some people are not blessing us."

"Who?" Vera was so angry she wanted to hit someone right now.

Patrick calmly read out three names, "Ian, Scott, Owen."

Vera asked Patrick, "Honey, who is more important, your friends or your lover?"

Patrick looked at her. "You are."

Vera smiled and said, "Then I won't hold back."

Patrick shook his head with a smile.

After dinner, Patrick took her to stroll around the nearby mall, and later, when the time came, they went to the cinema.

"Honey, there are a lot of people in the cinema, so don't kiss me, okay?" Vera said in advance.

Patrick asked, "What movie are we watching?"

Vera looked at him with her innocent eyes, not daring to reveal the tickets.

When they arrived, Patrick saw from the trailer that it was a fantasy romance movie with many intimate scenes.

He turned to look at the embarrassed Vera.

Vera said, "I checked online, and this had the highest rating. It's also recommended for newlyweds. The reviews said that men watching this movie would have their adrenaline surge and couldn't help but kiss their girlfriends, so I'm giving you a heads-up."

Patrick said nothing and didn't agree.

He went to the counter and bought popcorn and drinks, placing them in Vera's arms.

Vera, being held, entered the ticket-checking area, found their seats, and they sat down.

Before the movie even started, the greedy little kitty was already grabbing popcorn to eat.

While eating, she chatted with Patrick, "Honey, I think you bought too little. This isn't enough for me."

"Eat less. Tonight, I'm taking you to Rustic Hearth Cafe. If you fill up on popcorn, will your stomach have room for dinner?"

Hearing they were going to Rustic Hearth Cafe, Vera immediately picked up the popcorn and fed it to Patrick. "Honey, help me eat some, or I won't be able to resist finishing it." Patrick shook his head; he wasn't used to eating these.

After two failed attempts to feed him popcorn, Vera didn't hide her complaint. "You don't even help me share the burden."

Patrick listened quietly, not retorting.

People gradually filled the seats.

Less than an hour into the movie, someone suddenly leaned on Patrick's shoulder, very naturally.

He turned to look and found Vera had fallen asleep.

She had finished the popcorn and the orange juice.

She wasn't watching the movie; she was just going through the motions and then started sleeping on his shoulder!

Patrick looked at her and inexplicably smiled.

She was like a sprinkle of sugar in his ordinary days.

Then, she made his life sweet.

Seeing her made him want to smile uncontrollably, unable to suppress the joy in his heart.

He didn't wake her up, and he had no interest in watching the movie anymore.

As a result, when the movie ended and the lights came on, Vera woke up amidst the commotion. "Is it over? I just closed my eyes for a moment."

Patrick said, "You closed your eyes for an hour."

Vera looked around and regretfully said, "It's all because I video-called you until midnight last night, and woke up before dawn this morning. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so sleepy." People around them were leaving.

They remained seated.
