The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 440 Top Up

"Honey, my breasts have gotten bigger. Do you want to feel them?"

Vera's question caught Patrick's off guard.

"I don't want to!"

Vera glanced up at Patrick, pouting, "If you're not going to, fine. I even asked you first."

Patrick asked, "What, are you planning to ask someone else?"

Vera was startled, realizing she had misspoken. "No, I only want my husband to feel them, just you." She got up, pounced on Patrick, and gave him a kiss to appease him. After a while, she said again, "Honey, my bra is too small now. I need to buy a new one."

Patrick smiled. "Do you want me to buy it for you?"

Vera lay in Patrick's arms, her legs draped over his. She shook her head, thinking it was better not to send Patrick to a lingerie store. "You just give me the money." "Don't think you can change the subject."

Vera's cheeks were squished as she looked up at Patrick's face and asked, "Honey, do you think my breasts will shrink after I have a baby?"

"Vera!"

Vera covered her ears, burrowed under the blanket, and muffled her head. From under the covers, she said, "I am asleep."

Patrick shook his head in exasperation.

A little while later, Vera popped her head out from under the covers and planted several enthusiastic kisses on Patrick's face. "Honey, I love you. No matter what I say, you're always my favorite." Hearing the "I love you" instantly lifted Patrick's mood. "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?"

Vera pecked Patrick's lips again with a smile. "I am sleepwalking."

After saying that, she burrowed back under the blanket and went to sleep.

After a while, Vera suddenly threw off the blanket, taking Patrick's blanket with her.

Patrick hugged Vera and asked indulgently, "Are you sleepwalking again?"

"Honey, don't forget to give me the money tomorrow."

After saying that, she covered herself with the blanket and went to sleep for real.

Patrick always found Vera amusing, especially when she slept so peacefully, prompting him to close his eyes with a smile dancing on his lips.

In the still of the night, Patrick gently lifted Vera from under the covers, holding her tenderly as he did so.

Her sleeping face was peaceful, and for Patrick, seeing her brought an overwhelming sense of calm to the entire world.

The next day, Patrick got up and went to work before Vera woke up.

He left a new bank card on Vera's bedside table before leaving.

The weather was getting hotter, edging into the sweltering heat of summer.

Vera was craving chilled watermelon more and more.

One day, everyone at home was eating watermelon to cool off, and when Patrick came home, he saw Vera's pitiful eyes. He sat next to Vera, picked up half a watermelon from the table, and fed it directly to Vera. Vera took a small bite.

Cindy wanted to stop them because Savannah had developed diabetes from eating too much watermelon while pregnant with Molly, and she was worried Vera might too.

Vera was still young, and diabetes could be very harmful to her in the future.

Cindy said, "Patrick."

Patrick's focus was solely on Vera. He didn't glance at Cindy, simply responded with a stern, "I'm aware."

Under Patrick's tender care, Vera finally got to enjoy the icy watermelon she had been craving.

Molly returned to the Chase Manor after staying at the Olteran Manor for a few days and continued her internship at the MS Group.

Randall was still getting beaten up at the taekwondo gym.

Once, Vera went to the taekwondo gym and saw Randall being thrown hard onto the mat. She couldn't bear to watch and left.

In the evening, Randall came home and saw a special ointment for bruises on his desk. He looked at the packaging and smiled. "So ugly, it must be Vera's taste. Just like her taste in choosing a husband!" During her maternity leave, Vera loved to tease Shawn at home.

"Dad, do you want to hear my son's heartbeat?"

Shawn excitedly said, "Yes."

Vera held out her hand. "Since you're the grandpa, I'll charge you $998."

Upon hearing this, Shawn remarked to Vera, "You're too sneaky."

Vera advised, "Dad, you really don't know how to negotiate. You could have haggled with me."

So, Shawn began to haggle with Vera, "Can you offer a lower price?"

"National fixed price, no haggling," Vera replied with a smile.

Shawn was irritated. "Then why did you suggest bargaining?"

Vera proceeded to explain once more. "I said you could negotiate, but I didn't promise to lower the price."

Frustrated and out of options, Shawn gave up trying to play along. It was clear he couldn't outwit Vera. He sat in the backyard, sulking.

Later, Vera got too bored and went to the backyard to appease Shawn. "Dad, I see you're really eager to hear the heartbeat. How about I make it $558 instead?"

Cindy heard their conversation and laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.

At dinner, Shawn kept complaining about Vera.

Shawn remarked, "Since God sent Vera my way, my heart has grown stronger."

"Vera is always so energetic. Anyone who sees her feels invigorated," Vincent also praised.

Randall shrugged. "But doesn't she lose all her energy when she makes a mistake?"

Vincent was at a loss for words.

Cindy, who now liked Vera the most, said, "Since Vera came into our home, it's been much livelier. Our house is always filled with joy." Randall nodded. "Sure, and let's not forget that she even got into a fight with you when she first arrived talk about lively!" Cindy was also speechless.

Vera looked at Randall. "Randall, the fact that you're still alive is one of the top ten miracles in the world."

After dinner, Randall went to stay at a hotel.

Everyone was puzzled.

Vera immediately swore to Patrick, "Honey, I swear, I've been very good. I didn't hit him."

Patrick smiled. "I did. I thought he was bothering you."

Vera was surprised.

Before bed, Shawn secretly came to Patrick's study. Patrick assumed Shawn had something important to discuss.

Unexpectedly, Shawn asked, "Patrick, did you get a VIP card for listening to the baby's heartbeat from Vera and top up $8888?"
