The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 171 Waiting for the Beloved

The man who had struck up a conversation stood in astonishment, staring at Vera, who had claimed she was married. Upon learning his intentions, Vera paid no heed to his expression and moved to a quieter spot to continue waiting for Patrick. The process of waiting was tedious, but when waiting for one's beloved, her heart was filled with anticipation.

She waited until nearly everyone had left, yet Patrick had not appeared.

In the parking lot, Randall felt as though he had forgotten something.

Suddenly, he remembered. "Could Vera be waiting at the regular arrival gate?"

Patrick must have exited through the VIP passage. If Vera was waiting at the regular exit, she would certainly miss him.

What Randall had just realized, Patrick had already guessed.

After he appeared, the Vera who was supposed to surprise him was nowhere to be seen.

He turned and walked toward the regular exit of the airport.

Sure enough, the woman standing on tiptoe, craning her neck to look inside, was Vera.

At a glance, Patrick knew Vera had not met him.

He walked up and stood behind Vera, clearing his throat.

Vera turned her head left and right but saw no one. Finally, she turned around and looked up, meeting a pair of familiar eyes.

He looked down, smiling at the Vera who was searching for him.

"Honey!" Vera shouted, then threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly.

The people who had been eyeing Vera earlier now turned their attention to the man.

Patrick let go of his suitcase and embraced Vera.

He lowered his head, and Vera, standing on tiptoe, brought her face up to kiss Patrick. "Well done," Patrick said, smiling at Vera.
