The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 209 Randall is a Genius

Patrick set down the bowl and rose to his feet. He went to the bedroom and returned with the candy he had bought for Vera last time. He dropped the candy into the Fire Cider and stirred it. Patrick pushed the candy aside with a spoon and tasted the mixture on his lips for Vera.

It wasn't as awful as before.

So, he picked up the bowl and placed it in front of her. "Don't worry, it's not spicy this time. Open your mouth and drink it."

Seeing his gentle gesture, Vera gave in.

She was now willing to drink the Fire Cider.

She held the bowl with both hands, brought it to her lips, and tilted her head back, drinking it down.

Though he had added sugar, it still tasted unpleasant.

She grimaced and stuck out her tongue.

Patrick smoothed her hair and leaned in to kiss her pink lips right there in the dining room.

The kiss was brief. "Go back."

Indoors, he could do as he pleased.

Vera, lost in his tenderness, gradually fell into his trap.

That night, Patrick tormented Vera beneath him. "You want to find a young man to make me jealous?"

Vera cried, begging for mercy, promising she wouldn't do it again.

She had been so happy when she joked about it, but now she regretted it deeply.

After a "thorough lesson," Vera lay in bed and made a firm vow to Patrick that she would never say such words to anger him again.

"You'll be my good little kitten from now on."

Sweating all over, Vera nodded. "I'll be your good little kitten."

This time, Patrick was much gentler with her.
