The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 52 Patrick Made an Explanation Personally

Cindy looked at Vera with a serious expression on her face. One's micro expressions could not deceive others. Cindy could see Vera's sincerity from her face.

She suddenly thought of that night at the hotel when Vincent told her Emma had deceived her, but she didn't believe him.

Vera also mentioned someone instigating their relationship.

"That day, you returned to the Linister Villa," Cindy asked Vera, "What did you say to Emma outside that afternoon? Why did she cry?"

"That day it was I who went to find her," Patrick walked out from behind.

He had already finished eating in the house while Vera hadn't returned yet.

Patrick went out to look for her. However, he saw the two of them talking in the living room as soon as he left.

He was a bit worried, so he immediately went downstairs.

When he was approaching, he also overheard their conversation.

Instead of appearing directly, Patrick hid in the shadows.

Gradually, he understood their conversation.

When Cindy questioned Vera, he walked out of the shadows and said to Cindy, "Cindy, Vera has only met with Ms. Tooker three times. I was present every time they met. She has never argued with Ms. Tooker. When she returned to the Linister Villa that day, I was actually having a conversation with Ms. Tooker."

Cindy looked up at Patrick and asked, "How can that be you?"

"Yes, it was me. Cindy, you also know how Vera feels about me. But I am already married, I am Vera's husband. That day, I was persuading Ms. Tooker not to waste time on someone who would never reciprocate her feelings."

Vera looked up at Patrick beside her and said, "He's telling the truth. I remember that day when Dad asked me to deal with her. I managed to coax Dad away and let the two of you be alone."

Cindy couldn't believe it, she blinked rapidly and said, "Is it true?"

Patrick replied, "Why would I lie to you? I also heard much of the conversation you just had. Cindy, I know the question you've been most worried about all along. Tonight, I can clearly tell you that my wife will not want the title of the lady of the Olteran Manor. I will never touch the part of the Olteran Group that belongs to Randall."

When Vera realized that Patrick had no relationship with Emma, her shock was no less than Cindy's.

She poked Patrick's waist and asked, "So you don't like Ms. Tooker?"

Patrick retorted, "If I liked her, do you think I would have married someone else?"

She was the "someone else".

Vera pondered for a moment, then looked at Patrick's expression. After that, she shook her head.

If Patrick had someone he loved, he would never have married Vera.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I secretly cursed you before," Vera said.

Vera didn't understand why she had spoken out her inner thoughts. After she finished speaking, she still appeared slightly shocked. Patrick laughed and asked, "What did you curse me about?"

Even though he was smiling, Vera felt a bit scared.

She had mistakenly believed that Patrick and Emma liked each other, so she had cursed him in her heart, "Since you have a girlfriend, why are you marrying me? You're such a jerk." Vera couldn't even accept the recent kiss anymore.

It turned out that there was no connection between Patrick and Emma.

All of this was due to Cindy's misleading and Vera's imagination.

Vera and Patrick exchanged glances, and she immediately averted her gaze in panic. Then, she said to Cindy, "You should go back and think if someone deliberately manipulated you." Patrick held Vera's hand and asked, "Did you get the water?"

"Yes," Vera obediently replied, raising the water bottle in her hand for Patrick to see.

"Then let's go back and rest."

Patrick led Vera past Cindy.

Cindy was left alone in the living room reflecting on herself.

After they arrived in the bedroom, Patrick continued to ask, "What did you secretly curse about me in your heart?"

Vera suddenly bit her tongue. She smiled at Patrick and said, "It's better if you don't know. I'm afraid you'll strangle me."

Patrick sneered, "If you don't tell the truth, we won't move tomorrow."

"You have a bad personality."

Patrick looked speechless, "Anything else?"

"You're a coward."

After Vera finished speaking, she bit her lower lip and lowered her head, indicating that she was wrong. During that time, she secretly looked up at the man with a dark expression, who was staring at the top of her head. "Don't look anymore. If you keep looking, I will lose all my dandruff."

Patrick asked, "Continue speaking, what else did you curse me about?"

Vera shook her head, afraid to say more. "My brain capacity is limited, so the curse words I know are also limited. So, I really didn't curse anything else."

Patrick snorted, "I see you have a big head."

"My head is the same size as yours."

He couldn't converse too much with Vera, or else he would be driven mad by her.

Patrick reached over and took the water cup from Vera's hand. He moved away from her and sat on the sofa. "Why did you curse me?"

"This is a misunderstanding. I didn't know at the time that you had no relationship with Ms. Tooker. And I never imagined that woman could be so despicable. I previously thought she was your girlfriend, and I ended up marrying you. I felt guilty for breaking you two apart. Now I know. She is so scheming." Vera brought up the issue, and she was angry. So, she unintentionally said more.

After she finished speaking, Vera noticed Patrick looking at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me again?" "Why are you so talkative?"

Vera replied, "You are being too much. Wasn't that your question?"

Patrick didn't know how to refute her.

So, he chose to keep quiet.

However, after he stayed silent, Vera took the initiative to ask, "Do you think Cindy will reflect on this matter?" "Go ask her."

"You're mocking me!" Vera glared at Patrick in anger.

Patrick laughed. Seeing him laugh, Vera couldn't help but laugh too. However, she was laughing because of anger.

She pushed Patrick somewhat impolitely. Then, she smilingly said, "Move over. Don't sit on my couch. I want to sleep now."

Vera also had no intention of understanding what Cindy might think.

She had already explained, even Patrick personally explained. If Cindy still didn't believe them, then there's nothing they can do. Anyway, Vera didn't care about Cindy's opinion. Vera also understood Patrick's sarcasm towards her. He must have thought the same way.

After Cindy returned to the other bedroom, she woke up the drowsy Vincent and asked, "Honey, you said I was deceived by Emma last time. Why did you say that?"

Vincent picked up his glasses from the bedside and put them on. He propped himself up with his arm and asked, "It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Cindy anxiously asked, "Honey, wake up quickly. Explain to me why you said I was deceived by Emma."

Vincent couldn't stand Cindy's continuous questioning. So, he sat up and looked at Cindy. "It's been so long, and you still haven't figured it out? Emma likes Patrick, but he married Vera. Isn't Vera her love rival then? The Olteran Manor has made it clear that they don't welcome her here. Since she can't come here, she can only cause trouble for Vera through you. Once you two become hostile towards each other and we no longer like Vera, then she will have an opportunity. Don't you love reading those stories about love entanglements in the newspapers? How can you not see through this information?"
