The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 109 No Clear Position Set

Randall's mouth also tasted like spicy potato chips. After sitting down, they opened a bottle and started drinking and eating. Randall asked Shawn, "Grandpa, Am I filial?"

"You guys are too filial, much better than Patrick. He wants to control everything. Not only is he busy managing a company, but he also has the leisure to control us eating ice cream; it's infuriating." After Shawn finished speaking, he took another piece of spicy potato chips to eat.

Randall also took one, saying, "Uncle Patrick probably never expected that he could control you guys from eating ice cream but not from eating spicy potato chips. I think he's met his match with Vera, she's so disobedient, he'll have a hard time dealing with her in the future."

Patrick remained silent, standing behind a pillar, listening to their accusations indoors.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood behind the pillar for five minutes before deciding to show himself.

At that moment, Vera said, "Before he comes back, let's quickly clean up the trash on the table so he doesn't catch us. Otherwise, we won't have anything good to eat tomorrow."

Randall, while eating, said, "Vera, you're quite bold, why are you so timid in front of Uncle Patrick? Show him the dominance you had before, challenge him, make him submit to you and call you boss from now on."

Patrick chuckled, realizing Randall didn't want his upcoming days to be easy.

"I dare not. If I beat him, your uncle might think I'm not gentle enough, and what if he starts seeing other women in the future? If he can beat me, then I'll be even more miserable if I face domestic violence." The eavesdropping Patrick felt helpless.

Shawn also commented on Patrick, "Vera, rest assured, I guarantee you, Patrick will never stray. A man like him, if he were to stray, he wouldn't still be single at twenty-eight, and I wouldn't be worrying about finding him a wife. As for domestic violence, I don't think so."

"Why?" Unconsciously, Vera opened another pack of spicy potato chips and shared them with everyone.

Shawn said, "He treats you like a pet cat. Have you ever seen someone hit their beloved pet?"

Vera replied, "Shawn, even you know he treats me as a cat?"

Shawn nodded. "Of course, when I'm at home, I chat with Tom; I know all the gossip at home and in the company. I also heard that because of a word you said, he even cooperated with the Harrison Group he used to look down upon." "That's because he was joking with me," Vera said.

"Why doesn't he involve us, just you? Isn't it all about spoiling you?" Shawn asked a question that made everyone reflect.

Vera's enjoyment of the spicy potato chips had diminished, she began to ponder Shawn's words.

Could it be...

"Patrick, what are you doing standing here?"

The servant's question made Shawn, Randall, and Vera, who were sneaking snacks in the living room, froze. They all looked in one direction.

Then, Patrick behind the pillar slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

Shawn, Randall, and Vera, who were sneaking snacks, were stunned.

Patrick seemed to be smiling, but his eyes carried a sense of oppression.

"You're enjoying your snacks." he said.

They were dumbfounded.

Then, in unison, they said,

"Uncle Patrick, these were bought by Vera."

"Darling, I didn't buy these."

"Patrick, I only had a couple of bites."

After speaking, they all glanced at each other.

They ate and drank recklessly together. However, when they were caught, they started shifting the blame.

Patrick sat on the sofa, picked up the package of spicy potato chips on the floor, "Who initiated this?"

Randall and Shawn unhesitatingly pointed to Vera on the side. Vera looked at her hands, opened her mouth, wanting to bite them.

Patrick stood up from the sofa. "Come with me to the study."

Vera said to Randall, "You go; your uncle is calling you." Unexpectedly, her arm was suddenly grabbed by Patrick.

"Darling, why are you grabbing me? I can walk on my own."

Patrick took the disobedient Vera to the study.

As soon as Vera entered, she proactively praised Patrick's study. "Wow, darling, your study is all black, so cool." Even though she didn't like black at all.

"Wow, darling, you have so many books on your bookshelf; you're so knowledgeable."

Patrick sat in a chair, leaning back, one hand casually placed on the table, watching her awkward compliments.

"Go on."

Vera bit her lip, lowering her head.

She knew she couldn't avoid his criticism.

"I'm sorry, darling, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong? Say it." Patrick treated Vera as if she were a subordinate, questioning her with pressure.

The petite Vera had never experienced such a moment of weakness; she faltered.

"I shouldn't have angered you, shouldn't have deliberately bought spicy potato chips during my period, shouldn't have eaten them with Shawn shortly after he was discharged. But darling, I really paid attention, I kept watching him to make sure he only ate a little, it didn't matter."

Patrick asked her, "Anything else?"

She said, "That's it."

Patrick said, "Do you want me to say it?"

Vera thought for a moment, then nodded. "Go ahead; I think I did nothing wrong."

Suddenly, she didn't seem afraid of Patrick anymore.

"Did you have ice cream today?"

Vera shook her head.

Patrick asked again, "Really didn't have any?"

Vera shook her head again.

Patrick asked her for the third time, "Do you need me to present evidence for you to admit it?"

Vera frowned, she hadn't eaten any, of course she wouldn't lie. "Darling, eating spicy potato chips was my mistake, but don't slander me. Although I really wanted to eat ice cream today, I leaned on the freezer at the supermarket entrance for ten minutes, I didn't eat any, I wouldn't lie about this. Since I promised you, I will definitely keep my promise, even if I'm tempted, I won't eat."

Patrick had just scared Vera a bit; after all, he was worried she wouldn't listen to him at school.

Unexpectedly, she was actually so obedient, she didn't eat the ice cream.

Instead, because of his lack of trust, it made her angry.

Clearly, she was in the wrong at first.

However, later on, he somehow felt guilty.

"Alright, you didn't eat, I accused you wrongly."

"Apologize!" she said..

Vera, emboldened, perhaps due to Patrick's favor, became even more temperamental.

Patrick touched his nose, his tone softened. "I shouldn't have distrusted you; I was wrong."

"Even if you apologize, I won't forgive you."

With that, Vera haughtily turned and left Patrick's study.

Left behind, Patrick felt helpless; their positions seemed to have reversed.

Wasn't he supposed to discipline Vera at first?

After leaving, Randall pulled her aside and asked, "How were you criticized?"

Shawn also curiously leaned into Vera to listen to the gossip.

Vera said, "I just apologized; after all, we're a couple; we can't really fight."
