The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 69 Her Husband's Spending

Vera foolishly whispered, "I used to eat the ice cream he bought for me all the time."

"You dare mention the past to me?!" Patrick pinched her cheek. "Who is your husband?"

"You." Vera slapped away the hand on her face. "Patrick, you're abusing me!"

Patrick's Adam's apple bobbed, and his grip gradually loosened.

Vera rubbed her cheek and immediately moved away from him.

Patrick pointed at the hidden Vera and warned, "You are not allowed to spend other men's money."

With that, he took out a bank card from his jacket and placed it on the table, pointing with his index finger. "This is your pocket money, one million dollars a month. If it's not enough, ask me for more. If I catch you spending another man's money, I won't spare you."

Fearful, Vera nodded, but she didn't touch the bank card on the table.

Shortly after, Jack brought a box of ice cream.

Vera followed him out and saw the various flavors inside, instantly delighted. "Trading one ice cream for a whole box of ice cream, worth it!"

She immediately took one out and started eating.

Jack said, "Madam, this belongs to Mrs. Vera."

With cream sticking to her lips, Vera replied incoherently, "That's right, I am Mrs. Vera."

Jack stared at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

His boss had married such a young woman! Where was his conscience?

Patrick himself wiped her mouth! What about her cleanliness?

Patrick didn't dare argue back with her! What about his temper?

He was truly shocked.

In a fit of pique, Vera ate ice cream while holding the box and left the living room.

Patrick was left ignored.

Jack felt embarrassed for him.

"Mr. Olteran, do you have any further instructions?" Jack asked.

"No, you can go back," Patrick replied.

As Vera left the room, she turned into a sharing enthusiast.

She went around offering the ice cream Patrick bought her to everyone, bending down to let Shawn and Tom take some. "Shawn, this is so delicious, try it."

Shawn hesitated at first but couldn't resist Vera's enthusiasm. He took a bite of the ice cream.

"It tastes good," Shawn said, trying this snack for the first time, having previously scorned it as unhealthy.

Vera then offered some to Tom before going to find Cindy with the box.

Coincidentally, Cindy was in the study looking at the Olteran family's expenses for the quarter.

Vera shouted from outside, "Cindy, are you there? I'm coming in."

"I'm here; just come in," Cindy replied.

Vera handed her a box of ice cream, saying, "Patrick bought this. Summer and ice cream are a perfect match."

Cindy smiled and declined. "I don't want any; you have it."

"I've already had one," Vera said, placing the ice cream on Cindy's desk. "I have plenty more."

She glanced at Cindy's busy work and said, "I can't understand anything, Cindy, you're busy, I'll leave."

Cindy watched her leave with a smile.

Since their heart-to-heart conversation, their relationship had improved significantly. Perhaps it was because of the mistakes she had made before that now seeing Vera filled her with guilt.

This feeling made her more patient and understanding toward Vera.

Soon, Cindy realized that Vera was straightforward, lively, and much better than Emma, who only knew how to take advantage of people.

Smiling, she picked up the ice cream on the table and tasted it. "It's very sweet."

After sharing a round, all the household staff had one, except for Patrick.

Back in the bedroom, he asked, "Where's mine?"

"I ate yours for you," Vera said, feeling unsatisfied after eating one, so she decisively ate Patrick's ice cream, claiming he didn't like it. Patrick looked at Vera, squinting, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Then what am I supposed to eat?"

"You don't have to eat," Vera said, biting her lip nervously.

Patrick approached her, lifted her chin, and gazed at her lips. "I bought it; it would be a waste if I didn't have a bite, right?"

With that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Vera was shocked! She ate one of his ice creams, why was he kissing her!

"Patrick."

As soon as Vera opened her mouth, she gave him an opportunity, her mouth filled with his taste.

He kissed her again!

She couldn't explain their current relationship.

Since when had he started taking advantage of her everywhere?

Patrick once again tasted the sweetness on her lips, a taste he was addicted to.

The lingering fragrance, the softness on her tongue, still carrying the sweetness of the ice cream they had just eaten.

He kissed her more deeply, even forgetting that she was his nephew's "ex-girlfriend."

Vera was left dazed by the kiss, her mind a mess.

Suddenly, her phone rang in her pocket.

The ringtone woke them up completely.

Vera's eyes, previously unfocused, cleared instantly. She pushed Patrick away, who was kissing her passionately.

Patrick's eyes also showed affection as he looked down at Vera in his arms.

Her cheeks flushed unnaturally, her breathing quickened, and her gaze was evasive. The redness on her lips was the best evidence of their recent kiss. Patrick's Adam's apple bobbed. "You should answer the call first." Vera picked up her phone and saw that Mia was calling.

She went to the window, steadied her breathing, and answered the call.

"Hello, Mia, what's up?"

Mia exclaimed, "Great news!"

"What? What great news could happen to me?" Vera asked, puzzled.

Patrick, sitting on the sofa, kept his eyes on Vera, his gaze becoming increasingly confused.

What scent on her was captivating him?

Mia excitedly said, "You forgot that you came to me last time about changing your major. I had my brother help you with it, and it's done now. After the break, you and I will be classmates."

Vera had almost forgotten about this matter.

Forced into marriage, threatened by Patrick, she had impulsively decided to study business, with ambitious plans to acquire the Olteran Group in the future!

And now, it had all worked out.

Excitedly, she asked, "Really? Did I successfully transfer to the business school?"
