The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride

She wasn't really too lazy to look for him; she was afraid of actually finding him.

When she knocked on the door earlier, she heard someone inside, and she was so angry she was trembling.

What if she went to the hotel and really ran into him?

Vera gave up searching.

Randall had no choice but to drive her home.

As soon as they got home, Cindy came out.

"Vera, I was just looking for you."

Vera asked listlessly, "Cindy, do you need something from me?"

"No, Patrick was worried you'd be bored at home this afternoon, so he asked me to take you shopping for new clothes. It's going to get colder soon." Cindy treated Vera both as Patrick's wife and as her own daughter. She glanced at Vera's dress, saying, "It's already autumn, wearing a dress will make you cold. You need to buy something thicker to keep warm."

Vera shook her head and said weakly, "Cindy, you go ahead. I'm going back."

After saying that, Vera went upstairs, looking dejected.

She returned to her bedroom, locked the door, and lay on the bed, crying in grievance.

Her tears soaked a patch of the quilt.

By evening, Patrick still hadn't come back.

Later, Randall pulled her out to watch TV in the living room.

Cindy noticed something was off with Vera and reminded Randall to bring her out so she wouldn't stay cooped up.

Vera kept looking at the door. Vincent had already come back, but Patrick's car was still nowhere to be seen. "Randall, help me move a table."

Vera got up and led Randall to the storage room, where they found an old table and carried it out.

Randall asked, "Where do you want to put it?"

"I'm going to use it to block the door."

Vera used a long table to block the entrance of the Olteran Manor.

She disappeared for a while and came back with a spray bottle.

"What's this?" Randall was puzzled.

After setting it down, Vera went to the bathroom.

When she came out, she was holding toilet cleaner.

She disappeared again and reappeared with bleach.

Cindy was confused, Randall was shocked, and Vincent, who was helping Shawn add friends, was also very curious about what Vera was up to. What on earth was going on at home?

It wasn't until 8.00 p.m., when Patrick came home, that everyone realized how angry Vera was.

As soon as he got to the door, he found it blocked and couldn't get in.

Vera started spraying him with the spray bottle as soon as she saw him.

"Vera, why are you spraying alcohol on me?"

Patrick blocked his face and asked her when he smelled the scent.

Vera said coldly, "Disinfecting."

Just when Patrick thought the alcohol was finished, she started squeezing toilet cleaner onto him.

"Vera, enough, what are you doing?"

Vera said, "The first was disinfecting. This is for sterilizing."

It wasn't over yet.

There was still bleach on the table.

Seeing that something was wrong, Randall and Cindy quickly stopped the angry Vera, took the toilet cleaner from her hands, and asked, "Vera, tell me, what happened to make you so angry?" Randall quickly moved the table aside to let Patrick in.

He whispered to Patrick, "Uncle Patrick, you're in trouble. She was looking for you all afternoon."

Patrick walked inside, ready to scold Vera, but when he saw the grievance and tears in her eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

"Vera, come here."

Vera broke free from Cindy's embrace, quickly went to the table, and picked up the bleach, ready to pour it on Patrick.

Randall quickly took the bleach from her.

"Don't be impulsive. This can hurt him."

At this moment, Shawn, who had been playing on his phone, finally noticed the commotion in the living room.

"What's going on?" he asked.

No one answered.

"Why is Vera crying? Who upset her?" he asked again.

Still, no one answered.

Shawn looked around and saw that there was a tense atmosphere in the room.

He quickly figured out that the person who made Vera cry was Patrick.

"Patrick! Did you make Vera cry again? You bastard, it's one thing to piss me off all the time, but now you're upsetting your wife? Vera is so good to you, and you made her cry? Do you need a beating?" Shawn started looking for his cane.

Finally, he found it and was ready to swing it at Patrick.

Vincent hurriedly stopped Shawn. ;"Dad, don't be impulsive. Let's hear Patrick and Vera explain first."

"What's there to explain? Can't you see? Patrick made Vera cry, so of course, I have to beat him!"

Saying this, Shawn waved his cane, ready to hit.

Vincent quickly stopped him again.

After all, Vincent was a middle-aged man with more strength, so it wasn't hard for him to restrain the elderly Shawn.

Randall, worried that Vera might start a fight with Patrick in the living room, dropped the bleach and tightly held Vera's hand, urging her to hold back and not lose her temper in front of the whole family. In the living room, Patrick stood alone without anyone to defend him.

Everyone looked at them, waiting for an explanation.

Patrick stepped forward, pushed Randall's hand away from Vera, and then held her hand.

Vera forcefully shook his hand off. "Did you have enough fun outside and finally decided to come home?"

Patrick, being misunderstood as a "scumbag," was very frustrated.

"Come with me; I'll explain."

"You probably already thought of a good lie before coming back, right?"

Patrick asked, "Would I lie to you?"

"That's not certain."

Cindy looked at them, asking, "Patrick, Vera, what exactly is going on?"

Vera pointed at Patrick and said, "He cheated."

Shawn, seeing Patrick remain silent, was about to scold him when he suddenly turned to Vera and said, "Vera, could this be a misunderstanding? Patrick wouldn't cheat."

He didn't believe Patrick would cheat.

Cindy also looked at the dignified Patrick. After all, she had watched him grow up and knew him well. "Vera, could it really be a misunderstanding?"

Someone like Patrick, if he were to cheat, would divorce first before having a relationship with someone else. His upbringing, values, and morals wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. Vincent also believed in Patrick. He believed Patrick might go out drinking but not that he would cheat.

Seeing that no one believed her, Vera recounted the misleading things Patrick had said to her at noon.

"Besides, Randall and I went to his office and the places he usually goes this afternoon, but we didn't see him."

Everyone turned their eyes to Patrick, waiting for his explanation.

It had to be said, based on Vera's words, Patrick did seem suspicious.

So, on a cool autumn evening, the entire Olteran family sat on the living room sofa to resolve the relationship issues between the newlyweds, Vera and Patrick.

"In the afternoon, I received a call from Uncle Roberts and went to the development site in the west. A piece of equipment malfunctioned and was found to be radioactive. There were a few women around, and I asked how many women were there. Then I went to the site and spent the entire afternoon there waiting for the results and letting the experts handle it," Patrick explained.

Of course, in the afternoon, he did have an intention to make Vera jealous and realize her feelings for him.

As a result, he didn't handle it well, leading to the current situation.
