The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 310 Separate Rooms

Patrick thought for a long time and then nodded. "You have a point."

Noah wasn't shocked or angry. If Patrick denied his words, that wouldn't be Patrick.

Patrick thought of Vera at home and said, "If it weren't for the forced marriage, I wouldn't have met Vera. If we're talking about matching status, I should marry a woman with a similar background, career-driven, and with the same personality. A lazybones and troublemaker like her is completely different from who I should marry."

"Not only do you think this way, but many people do. It's not surprising. People habitually think that two people are compatible if everything about them is similar-background, career, and thoughts. Only then will they have common ground, and the marriage can be maintained."

"But I know very well that for people like me, we can only be partners, never companions. Two people who only have work and no family coming together will only result in a cold home and cold people. So, what's the point of such a union? To find a competitor in marriage? Aren't there enough competitors in real life?"

Noah didn't speak; he continued to listen to Patrick.

Patrick continued, "I'm a successful person, and Vera is a homemaker. I don't need her help in my career, and I don't need her to manage the household."

Having children is a blessing for me. Even if she can't take care of them, I'll do it myself. Marriage is about equality. For me, meeting Vera, even if the marriage isn't equal, I'm willing.

"I can't keep her young and beautiful forever, but I can ensure she's happy every day. She's bad-tempered and loves causing trouble, but she doesn't cause senseless trouble. Her bad temper is only for others; she's good to me, and that's enough."

"Being too disciplined needs someone to adjust to life, and being too lazy needs a disciplined person to pull them up. Her goodness can't be seen with the eyes, only felt with the heart."

The person who understands Patrick the most was probably only Vera.

And the one who could influence his heart was probably only her as well.

Noah then said, "There will be more girls prettier and better than her. When she no longer attracts you, she'll be the wife you don't want. If you meet someone else later and dump Vera, she'll have nothing."

Patrick replied, "All worries are fears of the future. What you worry about won't happen. Vera already owns half of my shares. Even if we can't live together in the future and get divorced, she can take away billions in assets from me."
