Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1036

After leaving Ocean Villa,

Sam drove home by himself. While he was driving, he suddenly received a text from Olivia.

"Mr. Sorrento, is your boss satisfied with the information?"

When Sam read the message, he did not think too much and quickly gave a short reply.

"Somewhat."

After replying to Olivia's message, Sam subconsciously clicked into his contact list and saw a familiar name.

Vera Zais.

Ever since they came back from overseas, they had not seen each other nor contacted each other. What Vera said that day made Sam feel that if he bothered her again, it would mean that he truly wasn't a nobleman.

Therefore, he refrained from looking for Vera.

He wondered how she was doing all this while.

In the end, Sam gave up on the idea of calling her and continued to drive.

Unknowingly, Sam found himself at the building where Vera used to work.

There was no one in the company today as it was a weekend. Sam simply parked the car and lowered the window to look at the entrance of the building.

He motionlessly stared at the building and found himself picturing how Vera looked when she arrived for work.

Before returning to the country, Vera must have been very happy to go to work. He pictured her wearing a dress and carrying a bag as she rushed into the building. If she ran too fast, the things in her hands might fall out.

Then, Vera had to bend down to pick up her things. Because of this, it might cause the other things in her hand to fall as well.

Anyway, she would look like a scatterbrain. In the past, Sam did not fancy this kind of woman. However, if this woman was Vera, he would replace her very adorable.

As expected, love could make a person irrational.

Suddenly, Sam thought of a saying.

Those who fell in love first were the dumbest.

Not only did he not dare to contact Vera, he even ended up at an empty office building. How much dumber could he get?

After a while, Sam started the car and drove away.

Time flew by.

Vera visited the hospital every day to take care of her father. During this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zais also saw her earnestness, and Mabie would always sing praises about Vera to David behind her back. "David, don't you think your daughter has matured a lot ever since she came back? She hasn't complained at all and she doesn't look like she's tired or angry at all, right?"

When David heard this, he also nodded in agreement. He said, "You're right. She's much more mature now. I didn't think we would be this close after having not seen each other for five years."

"Don't be silly. She's your daughter after all. As long as you stop being stubborn, there is no way you two would fall out."

"Stubborn?" David subconsciously frowned when he heard the word. He asked, "How am I stubborn?"

"How are you not? Your daughter is a grown-up, but you had to go and interfere with her life. You even told her that if she resigned, you would not acknowledge her as your daughter anymore. Are you planning on controlling her life forever?"

It had never crossed David's mind, but now that

Mabie had put it that way, he found himself at a loss for words.

After a moment, he said helplessly, "I never thought about controlling her life. It's just that it was a job that was hard to come by. Because she did not cherish it, it upset me a lot.

Whats more, if this was how you

felt, why didn't you mention it at that time? Why are you reviving old quarrels?"

Mabie peeled an orange and made sure to remove the orange pith before stuffing a piece into her mouth. David watched her with eager eyes. However, Mabie did not give him any.

In the end, he could not help but say to her, "Why do you have to peel off the orange pith?"

Upon hearing this, Mabie lowered her head and glanced at the oranges. "This is how I've always eaten it. Why? Do you have a problem with that after all these years?"

"Besides, listen to what you just said. What do you mean by reviving old quarrels? Am I reviving old quarrels? You were so insistent back then. Do you think I dared to say anything, lest you break off your relationship with your daughter then divorce me?"

David was speechless.

"Do you think I'm such a horrible person? We've been married for so many years. Don't you know what kind of a person I am? Do you think I would even mention divorce?"

Mabie did not take his words

seriously. She continued to eat her oranges and said, "Yes, we've been married for so many years and I know your character very well. It's because know you so well that when you decided to end your

the

know what I was thinking? How hell have you become like this? I have never seen you act like that; you were like a stranger at that moment. Do you think I would dare to say anything? I was afraid that you would divorce me if I did. If it happenes, then our family will fall apart. Do you know I've been the pillar of the family all these years?"

David thought for a moment and said, "In the end, you just want to take credit, right?"

"Well, don't I deserve it? I'm sure you

are aware of your relationship with

your daughter during these past five years, right? was the one who called her during the holidays. If I

Ket

were as stubborn as you, Vera would have probably run away with someone and never come back. Take this time for example, if I

hadn't called your daughter and

begged her to come after your

accident, do you think she would be

taking care of you right now?"

Mabie became a little emotional as she spoke.

"Are you trying to burn bridges right now?"

David felt that if they continued, they would end up quarreling again. Ever since Vera left, they had quarreled quite often. However, each time after quarreling, Mabie would hide in her room and wipe her tears while David would be angry and regretful, and his heart would even ache.

However, his pride stopped him from comforting her.

Now that he had experienced a near-death situation, he was much more open-minded now.

At his age, there was no need to be so calculative, especially with family. There was no need to exaggerate such a small problem, was there?

Just like this instance, if it were in the past, David would've thought that Mabie was being unreasonable, and he would definitely argue with her. He would then ask why she was being so capricious or something hurtful like that.

However, these were not important to David anymore.

Life is so short. As for someone like him, who had lived through almost half his lifetime, there wouldn't be a lot of years left.

At the thought of this, David sighed and said softly, "Mabie, I never thought of burning bridges. You have done a lot for our family. I admit I was stubborn. I should have thought it through before saying anything."
