The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride
Chapter 295 The Reason for Hair Loss

Vera pretended to be deaf. Whenever Cherry Villa was mentioned, she selectively lost her hearing. Patrick leaned in close to Vera, whispering in her ear, "Stop pretending."

Vera pouted, acted cute, and pleaded for mercy.

Patrick lifted Vera's chin and said, "Pretending to be weak only makes me want to bully you more."

Vera miscalculated!

She hadn't even showered yet, and he had already slept with her.

Afterwards, they showered together.

Two hours later, Vera finally left the bathroom. Patrick, with a towel wrapped around his waist, went to find some pajamas while drying his hair.

Vera had a towel wrapped under her arms and another around her head.

She went to sit at the vanity.

Her body still had a pink hue. Every time she was intimate with Patrick, she would blush for a long time. Even though they had been married for so long.

Patrick changed into pajamas and handed Vera a new set of pajamas at the vanity. "Put these on."

Vera's face turned red, and she placed the pajamas aside.

Patrick stood behind her, looking at her exposed shoulders through the mirror. He chuckled, his deep voice resonating above Vera's head, "Still shy? After all this time, you should be used to it." Vera replied, "Honey, I think you have a problem."

Patrick was puzzled. "What problem?"

Vera looked at Patrick in the mirror and said, "You're so addicted to sex. I think you should find time to see a doctor."

Patrick was speechless. Was he sick because he loved her too much?

He scooped Vera up and took her to the bed.

"Look, I wasn't wrong. You're addicted. You're going to do it again!" Vera kicked her legs, trying to keep Patrick away.

Patrick felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were about to have a heart attack.

He said, "Vera, I'm really afraid one day you'll die under me, so I've been holding back, okay?"

Hearing this, Vera was shocked!

"Honey, can't you be like other husbands, busy with work all day, never coming home, and we only see each other once a week?" Vera asked.

Patrick said, "They're in the prime of their careers. The Olteran Group is already at its peak."

Vera bit her lip and muttered to herself, 'Marrying someone too successful has its troubles.'

"Other husbands often go on business trips, sometimes for ten days or half a month. But since we got married, I've never seen you go on a business trip. Are you slacking off?" Vera asked again. Patrick replied, "Most people need to come to Zandonick to see me if they want to work with me. Besides, my subordinates aren't useless. If a business trip is needed, they go."

Vera asked, "What about the minority?"

"That minority isn't qualified to work with me."

Vera thought Patrick was starting to be shameless.

To divert Patrick's attention, Vera sat up and moved to the head of the bed, away from the dangerous Patrick. "Honey, someone visited Shawn today. His name is Dennis Turner, but Shawn and Cindy didn't let me talk to him much. Do you know why?"

"Dennis Turner?" Sure enough, Patrick's attention was diverted.

Vera nodded and continued, "Not long after he arrived, Cindy sent me away. Who is this guy? I looked him up on my phone this afternoon. He's just a government official who was hired as a teacher after retirement. Does he have any connection to our family?"

Patrick frowned and sat at the foot of the bed. "Listen to my dad and Cindy. Stay away from him in the future."

Vera curiously probed Patrick for information, "Honey, I'm your wife. I need to know who our enemies and friends are, right? Tell me this little secret. What if one day I mistake an enemy for a friend, and they sell me out while I still think they're a good person?"

Patrick glanced at Vera, who would say anything to know the inside story.

Sell her out? It would be good enough if she didn't beat them up.

"Honey, please, tell me." Vera started to scratch at Patrick's heart again.

Patrick always retreated when it came to Vera. He thought for a moment and then spoke, "My dad and he were originally classmates. Later, they worked together in the government, but they weren't friends. Their political stances were different, and they were old rivals."

Later, my dad resigned, and he got promoted. When Vincent entered the government, he kept Vincent down, only allowing him to be a minor official and not letting him rise. It was only when Vincent seized an opportunity that he broke free from his oppression.

"Although he has retired over the years, he still has many students working in the government, making Vincent's job as mayor not very easy."

Shawn and Cindy knew Dennis's character well, so they didn't want Vera to know too much.

In the eyes of her family, she was still a child, just like Randall and Molly.

However, Patrick felt that it was okay to tell Vera about this. Since Dennis hadn't done anything to provoke Vera, telling her wouldn't cause any trouble.

Unconsciously, Vera had moved from the head of the bed to the foot, sitting next to Patrick with a towel wrapped around her. She was small and soft, perfect for holding.

Patrick's hand wrapped around Vera's waist, and she was lifted onto Patrick's lap.

Vera said, "Honey, if you're really bored, why don't you take care of me?"

So, the bored Patrick started blow-drying Vera's hair. The hairdryer blew away his desires. "Vera, why are you losing so much hair?"

"Because of you."

Patrick grabbed a handful. "Is this a problem?"

Vera tricked Patrick, "Before I got married, I didn't lose any hair. Ever since I married you, my hair has been falling out in handfuls. Do you know why married women age faster? It's because of men. Before marriage, I had a head of beautiful hair. After marriage, I'm almost as bald as Shawn."

Patrick looked at Vera in the mirror. Could it really be because of men that women lose hair?

Patrick, deep in thought, finished blow-drying Vera's hair and left the bedroom with his phone. Vera snuggled into the bed, comfortably chatting on her phone.

Austin sent her a picture of him dressed as a ghost.

Austin: [Mrs. Olteran, the ghost is in business. Remember my look, and please spare me when we fight.]

Vera replied: [Okay.]

Noah also messaged her: [Vera, where the hell are you? Mom and Dad are here to see me. Where are you?] Vera: [At home.]
