The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

After more than a year, Noah had grown taller. When Vera saw him again, she had to look up to him. When Vera and Noah met, there were no excited hugs or tears of joy.

Instead, Vera chased after Noah and hit him!

Vera said angrily, "Why did you come back?"

Noah dodged. "Vera, you must have been hitting Randall a lot at home. Your skills have improved."

From a distance, Patrick watched Vera hitting Noah and helplessly rubbed his forehead-such a temper.

Vera angrily grabbed Noah's suitcase, clenching her small fists in anger. "Go home!"

On the way home, the taxi Vera and Noah were in brushed past a Rolls-Royce.

In the car, Vera exchanged a glance with Patrick and guiltily lowered her head.

Meanwhile, Warren and Brianna of the Linister family walked out of the meeting room after a meeting and saw the missed calls from Vera and Noah on their phones. Warren called Vera first, "Vera, did you need something when you called us?"

Vera replied, "Yes! Noah is back."

Warren was shocked. Noah was back?

He asked, "Where is he now?"

Vera glanced toward Noah's bedroom. "He took an overnight flight and just went to take a shower."

Knowing Noah was home, Warren and Brianna went straight home without even stopping by the office.

After his shower, Noah looked around the familiar house. "Vera, when does your school start?"

Vera replied, "The day after tomorrow."

"I'll take you."

Vera asked Noah, "How many days are you staying?"

Noah replied, "I took two weeks off from school."

Vera tried to shoo him away. "Two days is enough."

"I need to stay home and find out who the guy calling you 'Vera' last night was. I'll stay for two weeks, picking you up and dropping you off every day. I don't believe I won't catch him," Noah said. Vera stayed at home for two days, and the Olteran family didn't send anyone to ask.

Just because she had a doting husband, Patrick, who went home and told his family that he and Vera were going to stay at Cherry Villa for a few days, Shawn happily agreed.

These days, Vera stayed at the Linister family home. But she missed Patrick terribly.

So, one evening, while everyone at home was asleep, she quietly left the house.

At Cherry Villa, Patrick saw Vera in the living room.

Patrick asked, "Why are you back?"

"I missed you." After saying that, Vera pounced on Patrick and kissed him.

Patrick wrapped one arm around Vera's waist and used the other to hold the back of her head, pressing her onto the sofa and kissing her fiercely, making up for the days they had missed. At least she had a conscience, knowing she still had a husband.

That night, Vera stayed at Cherry Villa.

The next morning, she returned home secretly, covering the love marks on her neck.

On the day school started, Noah personally took Vera.

Randall and Molly stood side by side, with "watching the show" written on their foreheads.

When Noah asked Randall and Molly about Vera, they both said in unison, "I don't know."

Sometimes, when Vera had no classes in the afternoon, she would sneak off to see Patrick. Then, she would sneak back home on time.

They acted like they were having an affair.

Patrick was in a bad mood all week, and Jack had the misfortune of getting scolded.

Jack and Sophia privately discussed their boss, "Mrs. Olteran must not be giving Mr. Olteran a good time."

But Vera frequently visiting the company to meet Patrick in private made everyone think otherwise. Everyone was curious but didn't dare to ask.

"Vera, when are you going to come clean? I'm running out of patience," Patrick asked in a hoarse voice, pressing down on Vera, who was driving him crazy.

Vera blushed, her breathing irregular. Every time she was intimate with Patrick, her mind couldn't hold any thoughts, only Patrick.

"I don't know either," Vera stammered.

She managed to use her body to appease Patrick every time he was on the verge of anger, buying time. It had been a week already; if she could hold on for another week, Noah would leave, and she would be free. Patrick got angry and deliberately made it so she couldn't get out of bed twice.

After making love, Vera cried, saying her legs hurt. Patrick said, "I did it on purpose."

Once, Vera almost got caught. She carelessly left her phone in Patrick's lounge!

So, when Patrick came to return the phone, he met Noah for the first time.

Vera went out to get her phone, urging Patrick, "Honey, you should leave." "Vera, who is it?" Noah came out.

Seeing Patrick, Noah clearly recognized him.

How could Patrick be with the very foolish Vera?

Vera was extremely nervous and quickly explained, "I don't know him."

Patrick looked at the stubborn Vera. An hour ago, she was still under him, begging for mercy, crying and saying she loved him, and now she didn't know him.

Noah walked over to Vera and Patrick, his eyes probing. "What were you talking about just now?"

Vera replied, "He was asking for directions."

Noah looked at the untouchable Patrick, then at Vera, and pointed at Patrick. "Vera, do you know who he is?"

Vera's heart was pounding so fast it felt like it would land her in the ICU.

She stubbornly shook her head. "I don't know."

"Are you an idiot? You study economics, and you don't know he's Patrick?" Even people overseas knew Patrick, and Vera was so dumb she didn't recognize the man holding the economic lifeline. What were her teachers teaching her? Patrick looked at Noah, seemingly satisfied with Noah's recognition of his identity.

It wasn't in vain that he stole Vera's phone and used it as an excuse to scare her.

Vera couldn't lift her head, wanting to beg Patrick to leave quickly.

Patrick's tone was unhurried as he asked Noah, "You know me?"

Noah replied, "Who wouldn't know you?"

Patrick glanced at Vera.

Noah also pointed at Vera and said, "She's an exception. Patrick, what were you doing just now?"

With Vera's heart in her throat, Patrick slowly said, "Asking for directions."

It had been a week, and Vera exhausted Patrick's patience.

He started using his methods to force Vera to come clean.

In the following days, Vera's phone rang frequently, and she would return to her room to take calls late at night. This made Noah suspicious. "Are you in a relationship? You're 20 now. I understand if you have emotional needs." Vera blurted out, "I'm married."

"You're kidding me," Noah thought she was joking.

Vera bravely said, "I'm really married. My husband is Patrick. If you don't believe me, ask our parents."

Noah looked at the hopeless Vera. "Do you know how a loser is made?"

Vera didn't understand. How did this relate to being a loser?

She shook her head. "No."

Noah looked at her and replied, "Daydreaming all the time."
