The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 174 The Gift

When most of the people around had left, Vera stretched and was about to leave.

Patrick, however, had no intention of leaving so early; his gaze remained fixed on Vera.

"Honey, why are you staring at me? Haven't you seen enough of me at home? You come out and still keep looking at me. If you keep this up, your eyes..."

As Vera was speaking, Patrick suddenly leaned in and kissed her on her lips in the cinema.

Perhaps it was because she had just eaten sweet popcorn, making her lips taste sweet.

Patrick didn't like eating sweets, but he loved Vera's sweetness.

Their lips intertwined, and Vera closed her eyes.

"The movie is over." The staff came to clean up.

Seeing them kissing, he couldn't help but remind them.

Vera's eyes suddenly opened wide. She and Patrick were caught kissing by a stranger.

She was extremely embarrassed, covering her face with her hands, not daring to face anyone.

Patrick's ears turned slightly red with embarrassment as well.

He remained composed, stood up, took Vera's hand, and left the cinema with her bag.

Vera hid behind Patrick as they left, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

It wasn't until they got into the car that she felt more at ease.

Vera complained, "I told you not to kiss me. Why couldn't you wait until we got home?"

Patrick remembered clearly that Vera had responded to his kiss just now.

Vera, thick-skinned, said, "I responded because you bewitched me; otherwise, I wouldn't have closed my eyes."

Patrick raised an eyebrow, surprised that Vera knew what he was thinking.

Perhaps they hadn't realized that, unknowingly, Patrick could guess Vera's thoughts with just a glance.
