The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 418 Tricked by Patrick

In Vera's room, the bed wasn't as big as the Olteran family's, and the five-foot bed was just barely wide enough for two people, especially with Vera's pregnant belly taking up so much space. When Vera returned to the room at night, she looked at her small bed and said, "Honey, you should sleep in the guest room."

Patrick said, "I can just sleep on a small corner of the bed."

Whether Patrick intentionally made himself sound pitiful or not, Vera felt sorry for him after hearing his words.

Vera said, "No, I want to lie in your arms at night; this bed is enough for us."

She was the one who wanted him to leave, and now she was the one who wanted him to stay.

Once nestled in Patrick's arms, Vera thought for a moment, then turned to face him and asked with a teasing look, "Honey, were you just trying to make yourself sound pitiful so I'd feel sorry for you?" Patrick asked back, "What are you feeling sorry for me about?"

This question left Vera puzzled. She thought, 'Do I overthink it?'

Patrick shifted closer, his voice a low murmur above her head in the dark. "Tell me, what are you feeling sorry for?"

"Nothing."

Vera was used to sleeping face-to-face with Patrick, and as she lay in his arms, her thoughts began to drift.

As she lost herself in her musings, her leg ended up draped over Patrick's, and his embrace seemed to have a magical effect.

Before long, she was sound asleep, her worries about being deceived by Patrick forgotten.

Seeing her asleep, her chubby cheeks resting against his arm, Patrick gently brushed his hand over her face with a look of fondness in his eyes. "You're hard to placate, so I had to resort to a little deception."

Without the deception, he would have been sent out to sleep elsewhere tonight.
