The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 159 The Clingy One

Randall just asked him a question.

"Uncle Patrick, how do you know about Shadow Syndicate United?"

Mia knew that Sebastian was very controlling and would investigate her whereabouts periodically. So, all the identity information she used to go to Shadow Syndicate United was fake, just to prevent him from replaceing her.

The hotel rooms they booked were actually a cover; it was just for registering their competition identities. Even if Patrick could replace out that he and Vera booked a room at the hotel, they should have appeared in room 312, not in the underground competition area.

Information about Shadow Syndicate United was unknown to outsiders, yet Patrick discovered it immediately. There was only one possibility Patrick was also a mid-to-high-level competitor in Shadow Syndicate United. Otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to enter the high-level events.

Because entering requires swiping a card to read the color information.

"Uncle Patrick, I have a blue card. Do you have a black card?" Randall thought that only a black card could match Patrick's noble status.

Patrick was speechless.

Would someone like him bound by others' rules?

A black card, after all, was still on someone else's area, following their rules to become number one step by step.

However, he was the one who makes the rules, would he care about a black card?

He was the one who issued the black cards!

Moreover, he was the mastermind behind Shadow Syndicate United!

If the person with the black card was the king of Shadow Syndicate United, then he was the god who created kings.

Patrick glanced at the clueless Randall and told him to get lost.

He began to face Vera alone.

"Vera, don't go to that place again."

Vera bit her lips and said nothing.

Patrick said, "If you don't want Shadow Syndicate United to disband, stay home and behave."

Vera was stunned.

Patrick said it so lightly, could he easily make Shadow Syndicate United disband? Those nine levels, thousands of competitors, and decades of development, how could it just disappear? She thought Patrick was being arrogant.

Patrick said, "I'm serious."

If Shadow Syndicate United's existence affected Vera, disbanding it would be fine.

Vera remained silent.

Inside the room, Patrick talked to her for a long time, giving her many examples of the downsides of boxing.

Vera acted very convincingly, appearing to listen intently.

In fact, she kept hypnotizing herself, thinking, 'Say whatever you want, I'm not listening.'

"Vera, what did I just say?"

Vera, who was self-hypnotizing, was stunned. He didn't say there would be a test! She didn't hear anything!

Patrick saw her expression and understood completely.

Everything he just said went in vain.

Shawn thought to himself, now that Patrick was back, it was time to settle accounts.

The first person to stand up for Vera was always Shawn.

He slammed the table and pointed at Patrick. "You heartless man, how dare you make such a good girl like Vera cry. If you drive her away, you can get lost too." Patrick frowned and coldly said, "I've already made up with her."

Shawn had a lot of things prepared to scold Patrick, but he was suddenly stopped.

"So quickly?" Shawn was very puzzled.

He looked at Vera standing next to Patrick.

Vera nodded to him. "Shawn, he really made up with me."

Shawn was a bit disappointed.

He hadn't even started scolding, and they had already made up. It was so fast, not even 24 hours had passed.

He pouted, clearly unhappy.

He thought to himself, 'Fine, I'll replace another chance to scold him next time. I don't believe Patrick won't make another mistake.'

Not long after Shawn left, Cindy came in.

Vera thought she was going to plead for Randall to cancel his punishment.

Instead, Cindy started with. "Patrick, Vera is still young. What happened last night? You left her crying at the door after driving away?"

Patrick frowned and turned to Vera, asking, "Did you cry again after I left yesterday?"

Vera tugged at Patrick's sleeve and nodded. "I felt sad because you ignored me."

Patrick didn't know about what happened yesterday. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have left.

"You are her husband. Be nicer to Vera and don't make her cry all the time. For a long-lasting relationship, you need to be steady and reliable." Cindy mistakenly thought that Patrick had upset Vera again yesterday and made her cry.

She said, "You need to cherish Vera. If you drive her away, where will you replace such a good wife?"

Patrick looked at his "good wife."

Vera lowered her head guiltily. She knew she was partly at fault this time.

However, she didn't know exactly what she did wrong.

"Cindy, Patrick and I have made up," Vera said.

Cindy glanced at Vera, who was snuggling up to Patrick, looking like a victim.

In fact, she was a fake victim.

Whenever she cried, even if she was in the wrong, her family would side with her and make her seem right.

"He just hugged and kissed me."

Patrick instantly felt embarrassed.

The elderly Cindy also felt a bit awkward, thinking, 'Young people are so open.'

She left as well.

Vera was puzzled. Wasn't Cindy here to plead for Randall? Why did she leave?

After a while, Vincent came in.

He opened the door to Patrick's study a crack, ready to enter, but suddenly saw Vera on Patrick's lap.

Vera quickly stood up from Patrick's lap, feeling shy.

"Have you made up?" Vincent asked directly.

Patrick nodded. "I made up with her."

Making up referred to resolving the conflict between him and Vera.

Making up also meant he had made Vera upset.

So, Vincent didn't disturb them and closed the door, even thoughtfully locking it.

No one would disturb them, no matter what they did.

The meticulous Vincent instructed the household staff, "No one is allowed to disturb Mr. Patrick Olteran's 'work' on the third floor."

Inside the study.

Vera sat back on Patrick's lap.

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Honey, we've been misunderstood."

Patrick said, "It would be abnormal if they didn't misunderstand."

Vera stuck out her tongue and snuggled into his arms.

"Honey, I've realized something. The servants are right. I'm your clingy one, your little shadow. When you're not home, I always want to replace you. If I can't replace you, I want to go to places where you are. Do you think I'm annoying?" Patrick was delighted, so how could he replace her annoying?

He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

At the moment, he couldn't fulfill his desire to make love to her, so he could only kiss her to ease his inner longing.

After a light kiss, Patrick didn't leave her lips.

His mouth opened and closed, and his warm breath fell on Vera's lips.

"Vera, you have to cling to me for a lifetime, be my little shadow for a lifetime, do you hear me?"

After saying that, he kissed her tender lips again.

Vera complained, "My lips are almost chapped from your kisses."

So, Patrick switched to exploring her tongue.
