The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 15 Agreement

"What did you say to my dad?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing. What did you tell your dad? Why did he ask you to apologize to me?" Vera couldn't lift her head, but her grip on Patrick's wrist was strong. Neither of them felt comfortable.

In the midst of their standoff, Vera said, "If you agree to my two requests from this morning, I won't call you 'Uncle Patrick' anymore. Can we peacefully coexist?" Patrick remained silent.

In an effort to show sincerity, Vera released her grip. "I won't pinch you anymore. If you let go of me, it means you agree," she said.

Patrick squinted his eyes, looking at the girl he had been bullying, and sneered, "You're smart."

She was trying to find a way to make him agree to her request.

She knew he couldn't hold her like this forever. As long as he let go, it meant he agreed to her request.

Patrick never expected to be played by a 20-year-old girl.

He released Vera.

This indicated that he agreed to Vera's request.

Vera had achieved her goal. She stood up straight and stretched her neck. She glanced at his wrist, the nail marks making his hand look rather pitiful.

Vera massaged her neck with one hand and kindly suggested, "Your wrist will scab tomorrow. It's best to wear your watch on that wrist to cover it up." The day Vera and Patrick returned to the Linister Villa arrived.

In the morning, Vera got up from the couch. She had been ready and waiting for Patrick.

Upon seeing Patrick, Vera couldn't help but remind him, "Remember what you promised me."

Patrick ignored her and simply placed all the prepared gifts in the trunk of the Rolls-Royce Ghost.

The Linister family lived in the Royce Community in Zandonick.

It was not close to the Olteran Manor, it took over an hour to drive there.

On the way, Vera tried her best to behave properly, hoping to make Patrick a little happier and not embarrass her later.

Patrick glanced at the girl next to him while driving. She was quiet, like a normal person.

"Patrick, why did you glance at me?" Vera asked.

Patrick replied, "It's disgusting."

Vera smiled and didn't get angry.

An hour later, the Rolls-Royce Ghost drove into the Royce Community.

They quickly arrived at the Linister Villa along the main road.

Vera immediately saw her parents waiting for them at the gate.

Vera suddenly became nervous.

She looked at the man beside her, unsure if he could keep his promise.

After the car stopped, Patrick unfastened his seatbelt to get out and retrieve their belongings from the trunk.

Vera reached out to grab Patrick's clothes but ended up placing her hand in his palm. "Patrick, remember our promise."

Patrick didn't pay attention to her cold hand. He turned to look into her bright eyes, squinting and asking, "Am I really that untrustworthy?" He was almost thirty years old, but for the first time, someone doubted his reliability.

Although he didn't like her, he wouldn't embarrass her in front of others. And since he had promised her, he would definitely follow through. Vera bit her lip and explained, "I was afraid you would forget."

Patrick didn't want to expose her, but he finally noticed her soft, fleshy hand. Although it seemed soft, it was also cold.

Vera became aware of her hand in his palm. She wanted to pull her hand away, but Patrick instinctively tightened his grip and quickly let go. Vera clearly felt his strangeness.

She got out of the car with confusion.
