The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 51 Teasing Vera

She pressed her ear against the door and asked, "Patrick, are you taking a shower?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel dizzy? Do you need me to find someone to help you?"

Patrick replied, "I don't feel dizzy."

Vera politely said, "Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."

"Should I call you to help me take a shower?" Patrick teased Vera.

Then, Vera kicked the bathroom door. It seemed like she wanted to kick Patrick. "I should call our dad to help you take a shower." She sat on the sofa and fell into deep thoughts.

Did this man black out and forget what happened just now?

If he forgot, then he wouldn't know about the kiss between them.

But if he didn't forget, it would be awkward when they meet later.

Vera sighed and said, "My first kiss is gone."

Not long after, Patrick indeed called her, "Vera."

"What's wrong? You're not actually asking me to help you take a shower, right?"

Patrick asked, "Where is the towel in the bathroom?"

"I took it away because I thought we were leaving tonight. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Vera ran to the dressing room. After finding the white towel she had put away, she held it in her arms and hurried to the bathroom door.

She knocked on the door, "Open the door a little, and I'll hand the towel to you."

Patrick's Adam's apple rolled. He realized that he didn't have a towel or pajamas while taking a shower!

Now, he had to rely on her for help.

Patrick unlocked the door and opened it a little.

As he was about to take the towel, he saw Vera closing her eyes through the crack of the door.

He couldn't help but smile.

After wrapping the towel around him, Patrick walked out of the bathroom directly.

Vera stayed where she was.

He only had a towel wrapped around him, and Vera could clearly see the abs on his body.

She also saw the hair on his abdomen.

Her face gradually turned red.

Patrick dried his hair and enjoyed seeing Vera's changing expression.

"Now that you're shy, why don't you turn around?" he asked.

Vera stubbornly said, "I'm not shy. When I go swimming, those guys wear even less than you."

"Then why are your ears so red?"

"That's because I'm hot!"

Vera blinked her eyes. Then, she found an excuse to turn around and leave.

She didn't look at Patrick again.

Patrick smirked. Then, he went to the dressing room to change into pajamas.

As Vera left, she placed the dinner she had prepared for him on the table.

"Dinner is cold, but you can just eat a little. At this hour, the servants are all asleep, so no one can cook for you."

Patrick sat on the couch.

Vera handed him a fork and said, "You eat. I haven't touched the food I left for you."

Patrick looked at her and deliberately asked, "How did you eat?"

"I also ate in the bedroom. But I only ate what was on my plate. I didn't touch the food on your plate," Vera replied.

Patrick asked again, "How did I come back?"

"You don't know?" Vera looked curious and investigative.

Patrick pretended to have a headache and said, "I forgot."

Vera thought to herself, 'Great, he doesn't remember.'

She showed a strange smile and then said, "I don't know how you came back. But after you got drunk, you insisted on singing songs from Zootopia in the living room. You even made us be your audience, and after you finished singing, we had to applaud you."

Patrick was speechless.

Thinking that Patrick didn't believe her, Vera emphasized, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dad. After you finished singing, you even politely bowed to us."

Patrick smiled and asked, "What song did I sing?"

"It was the song 'Try Everything.' I messed up tonight, I lost another fight. I still mess up but I'll just start again." Vera sang a part of it and then suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked surprised and asked, "You haven't heard this song before?"

"I haven't," Patrick replied.

Vera didn't believe him. She clenched her small fist and punched Patrick's shoulder, saying, "Stop pretending. That animated movie was really popular back then."

"We are eight years apart, so we're not from the same generation. Even if it was popular, I wouldn't know about it. Since I don't know about this animated movie, how could I know the songs in it?" Patrick raised an eyebrow with a playful skepticism in his tone, making Vera feel a little embarrassed.

Her face turned red again.

He didn't know about this animated movie, so how could he sing this song? Her lie was exposed directly.

"Are you lying to me?" Patrick asked back.

Vera stuck her tongue out. She awkwardly blinked and immediately withdrew her fist from his shoulder. "Uh, you must be thirsty after eating. I'll get you some water. I'm afraid you'll choke."

He had just started eating, not even three minutes had passed. Patrick looked at her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly, laughing.

When Vera arrived in the living room, she saw Cindy and stopped in her tracks.

Cindy also froze when she saw Vera.

Both of them were afraid of arguing with each other.

However, they had the same destination.

The two of them stood silently by the water dispenser, each getting water.

The atmosphere was quiet, with only the sound of water flowing from the dispenser.

"When are you moving out tomorrow?" Cindy looked at the faucet, her voice slightly hoarse. She wasn't as arrogant as she was during the day. Perhaps it was because it was night now and she was tired, so she appeared much gentler. Vera replied, "It depends on when Patrick wakes up from his hangover."

After Cindy finished fetching the water and closed the bottle cap, she said to Vera, "Once you leave, don't ever come back. The Olteran family will give Patrick his share of assets. But there can only be one lady of the Olteran Manor, and that's me. You are not qualified to compete with me. We can coexist peacefully. Even if we don't like each other, at least we can maintain superficial harmony. If you dare to greedily take over the Olteran Group, I won't let you off easily." "I have to interrupt you, what are you talking about?" Vera looked bewildered. She didn't understand Cindy's meaning at all.

"You don't understand?" Cindy sarcastically laughed, "Didn't you want to compete for the position of the lady of Olteran Manor? Aren't you and your husband trying to take over the Olteran Group?"

Holding Patrick's water cup, Vera looked at Cindy candidly. "I never wanted to snatch the title of the lady of Olteran Manor from you. Don't slander me. Also, the Olteran Group belongs to the Olteran family, and it has nothing to do with me. I have never thought about competing with you for anything. Don't imagine things all the time."

"Vera, have you forgotten what you said when you bullied Emma?"

"I bullied her?" Vera pointed at herself in surprise.

Cindy said, "I know Patrick is outstanding, so all you girls like him. You bullied Emma and claimed that you would snatch the position of the lady of Olteran Manor in front of her. Now, in front of me, you deny it?"

Vera couldn't accept being misunderstood. She had to explain this matter clearly. Therefore, she pulled Cindy and said, "I have to explain this matter clearly. Now I finally understand why you always bothered me before. Someone was instigating trouble between us."

Although Vera was young, she was not afraid. She said firmly, "I can swear to you that I never said I wanted to be the lady of the Olteran Manor. I never said I wanted to take over the Olteran Group. I haven't even mocked Ms. Tooker. If I lie, I'll be unlucky for the rest of my life. Cindy, please tell me, how did Ms. Tooker tell you these things?"
