The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 301 The Sharp-Tongued Noah

"What did you say?" Vera jolted up from the bed, her hair a mess. Patrick, who had been awake for a while, silently helped her smooth her hair. Noah repeated, "It's me, your brother, Noah Linister. I'm back in the country! Did you hear me?"

A teenager, about 6 feet tall, emerged from the international arrivals gate at the airport. He was wearing a gray cotton jacket, pushing a black suitcase, and wearing a pair of black wireless headphones while making a call at the airport entrance. He was Vera's younger brother, Noah.

Noah looked at the passing vehicles, feeling the joy of returning home. He hadn't been back for over a year. Seeing people with the same skin color as him sparked his emotions. He was slender but very tall.

Noah was always a troublemaker. When Vera got a perfect score on a test as a child, she happily brought it home to show off. Noah would mock her, "The full score is 110, and you only got 100. If I got 110, should I throw a celebration?" Later, Vera hit him.

When Vera bought a necklace as she grew older, she came home excitedly asking if it looked good. Noah started again. "What's so good about a dog collar?" He got hit again.

When Vera changed her hairstyle, he commented, "Starting anew from the 'head.""

He continued to get hit.

Many times, Noah used his intelligence to mock Vera.

Vera often couldn't tell if he was insulting her, but she knew Noah never said anything nice. So, every time Noah said something, she would hit him.

Their home was lively when they were kids, with Vera and Noah fighting, and Warren and Brianna having to intervene.

Despite the fights and arguments, Vera and Noah had a deep bond.

Noah went abroad before he turned 15. Warren and Brianna of the Linister family wanted to toughen him up, so they sent him overseas alone.
