The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 81 Summer and Ice Cream Are a Better Match

Vera didn't know when her status in the Olteran family rose.

Patrick rarely stayed home with his family on weekends, so everyone knew he was there to accompany Vera this time.

Vera didn't take it seriously. On this hot afternoon, Vera fanned herself and asked, "Honey, it's so hot in the summer, how do you usually cool off?"

Patrick thought she wanted to go somewhere to cool off, so he asked, "Should I buy you a vacation villa?"

Vera replied, "Buying a vacation villa is unnecessary, but you can buy something else."

Like ice cream!

Seeing Vera's charming smile, Patrick couldn't help but immerse himself in her charm. Under her smile, Patrick didn't think before speaking, directly agreeing to her request. In fact, Patrick was driving, looking at the scenery on both sides while humming. Vera, sitting in the front passenger seat, was puzzled. "Honey, why are you smiling?" "I'm taking a child to buy ice cream in bulk." This was something he never expected. Vera stuck out her tongue. "I'm not a child."

Patrick glanced at her, controlling the steering wheel with one hand and reaching out to Vera's head with the other. "You're not a child? Children love to eat ice cream in the summer the most." 'So you're saying you married a child.' If she were a child, how could he kiss her and hug her at night? Vera felt too embarrassed to say the last sentence out loud, just thinking about it in her mind. Patrick chuckled again. "You're an adult child."

"I don't understand," Vera muttered softly, then looked out the window.

When they arrived at the designated location, as soon as they got out of the car, Vera became familiar with the boss. "Uncle Nathan, do you still have my favorite crispy rolls?"

The man came out and secretly said to Vera with a smile, "I know you love them, so I specially ordered 50 more this year, just for you."

He opened the fridge for Vera to choose from.

Seeing the cold air in the fridge, Vera felt like diving in.

Patrick also noticed Vera's excitement and quickly grabbed her arm. "Do you want to jump in?"

Vera looked at him eagerly nodding.

Patrick tapped her on the head. "Do you dare to do that?"

Vera stuck out her tongue, clinging to Patrick's arm and coquettishly said, "I'm not stupid, just thinking about it. Besides, I can't fit in that fridge even if I jump in."

Patrick looked inside the fridge and saw that it was basically full, indeed not enough space for her. Patrick felt briefly relieved.

Nathan Brooks saw Vera standing with a stranger, still clinging to his arm, and curiously asked, "Vera, who is this guy?"

Vera quickly glanced at Patrick, and indeed, he was clearly unhappy.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Nathan asked Vera.

Patrick's chest rose slightly; he reached out to shake hands with him. "Nice to meet you. I'm Patrick from the Olteran Group, Vera's husband."

"Husband?" Nathan was very puzzled. "Vera, you're married?"

Vera nodded quickly, her eyes blinking rapidly. "I'm married; we got married in the summer. It was a hasty wedding. I forgot to inform you."

Nathan looked at Patrick, pondering,' Why does that name sound so familiar?'

Vera pointed to the TV broadcasting financial news, where Patrick was being interviewed, discussing the future economic trends of Donnicia in the next five years. "The man on TV is Patrick." Nathan turned to look at the TV, and his expression changed.

"Yes, I recall now, Patrick is the corporate titan."

Vera nodded. "Yes, he's my husband."

Only then did Nathan realize how offensive his previous address to Patrick had been.

However, he was also excited about Patrick's visit, as it was the first time his small shop had welcomed such an esteemed guest.

Nathan excitedly shook hands with Patrick again.

"Vera is great; you should be good to her. I wish you a happy marriage and have your own child soon."

Patrick accepted Nathan's good wishes with a smile. "Thank you for your kind words. You didn't come to the wedding, but when we have a child, we'll definitely invite you." Vera, who was indulging in eating ice cream, choked when she heard this.

Having a child? Her and Patrick having a child? Impossible.

It wasn't until one day later when their son was born, a chubby little baby lying in Vera's arms, that she had an expression of disbelief. "I actually gave birth to a chubby little boy." Of course, that would only happen in the future.

After wholesaling 50 ice creams at the ice cream shop, as they were leaving, Nathan secretly slipped a small gift into Vera's bag, which she discovered on the way home.

Holding the gift, Vera looked at Patrick who was driving. "Honey, what should I do?"

Patrick glanced at her. "Keep it, it's a blessing for us. When you get home, send a message to Nathan to show your gratitude."

Following Patrick's advice, Vera put the gift back in her bag.

On the way, Patrick asked her, "Are you very familiar with him?"

Vera nodded. "Very familiar. Randall knows about our relationship."

After speaking, Vera suddenly thought that Patrick might be angry again, so she quickly looked at him, only to find him expressionless while driving. Vera didn't know whether he was really angry, so she explained proactively, "When I was a child, I lived next door to Uncle Nathan. I was very young at the time; my parents were in the early stages of their business, coming home late every day. The nanny who took care of me and Noah left when it got late, and I was scared. Noah kept crying with no one to take care of us, so Uncle Nathan took us to his house."

"He ran a small shop, and I often went to his house to buy snacks. Later, as my parents' business grew, we moved, but every summer, at the beginning of the summer vacation, my parents would drive me and Noah to his shop to wholesale ice cream and buy snacks."

"Randall and Mia also knew about this place, after all, Randall couldn't help me with my homework in front of my parents, or they would scold me, so I took them to Uncle Nathan' store. I treated him to ice cream, and he helped me with my homework."

"I was just about to wholesale some ice cream when your dad suddenly came and asked me to marry you, which made me lose my appetite for ice cream and didn't buy any."

"A summer without ice cream is incomplete. I always feel like something is missing, so I brought you here to buy some today!" Vera kept saying.
