The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 86 Cindy's Sincerity

Vera turned her head to see Vera's palm resting on her shoulder. Instead of refusing, she asked him, "Darling, do you know you have a habit when holding hands with me?"

"What?"

Vera grabbed his hand with her left hand on his right arm, intertwining their fingers. When she suddenly pulled her hand back, Patrick's hand quickly tightened and then loosened. Looking at him, Vera said, "Darling, every time we hold hands, you subconsciously tighten your grip when letting go. Why is that?"

Patrick opened his hand and remembered a long time ago when not holding someone's hand tightly led to losing her.

It turned out that now, when holding hands, he subconsciously tightened his grip.

Patrick cleared his throat, saying, "Anything else?"

Vera gathered courage and asked him, "Darling, why do you have this habit?"

Patrick placed both hands on her shoulders, laid her down, and continued to embrace her. Letting her be like a little cat, nestled in his arms. "I just discovered this habit too, do you have more to say?" "Yes, there's more..."

As Vera continued, Patrick's phone rang.

They both glanced at the bedside table.

"Darling, your phone is ringing."

Patrick's phone had the most old-fashioned ringtone, the default one.

Vera's phone, on the other hand, had frequently changed, melodious tunes.

Upon hearing the dull ringtone, she immediately knew it was Patrick's phone.

Patrick reached out with his long arm, picked up the phone, and saw the caller ID. "It's Cindy."
