Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1053

Vera froze and it felt as if her heart had stopped beating. Her mind went blank and she sat in a daze.

She watched as Quill was guided into the room by the waiter.

It has been a long time since they last saw each other. There didn't seem to be any change in his appearance. He had a tall, broad figure and a cool handsome face as usual. He looked clean and neat in his suit and tie. The buttons on his suit were well fastened. You could tell right away that he was an uptight person based on his appearance.

Beanie was laughing sneakily at the side.

Quill walked into the room without any expression on his face. Then, he noticed something from the corner of his eyes and his footstep paused.

However, it was only for a moment and he casually joined the table.

"Mr. Hanover, here it is." The waiter pointed.

"Uncle Quill!"

Beanie called out as he glanced at Vera with the corner of his eyes.

She lowered her head as her fringe draped and covered all the emotions in her eyes. She looked like she was embarrassed and tried to hide her face.

Only she herself knew how overwhelmed she was feeling on the inside.

Her hands that were under the table were shaking uncontrollably. She resisted the urge to stand up and leave. She sat there as she forced herself to contain her emotions.

Why?

She spent so much time trying to forget about this person. She was busy recently and the times she had thought about him became lesser and lesser. She thought that a little while more and she would be able to completely forget about this man.

However... Here he was, right in front of her.

Then, her heart fumbled violently.

She didn't realize that this was Beanie's plan all along. "No wonder Beanie was busy on his phone earlier and he suggested coming to this restaurant for their steamed fish all of a sudden," she thought to herself.

When Beanie contacted her before this, he clearly told her that he wanted to have her cooking.

Something must have happened for him to change his mind out of the blue.

She was truly naive. She didn't suspect a thing and followed him here without much thought.

"What is he thinking right now?"

"What will he think about me now?" Vera wondered.

He must have found her annoying since he had already made himself clear about their relationship but she still showed up here in front of him.

She felt dizzy as she thought about it. She was lucky to be sitting down because if she was standing on her feet, she would have collapsed to the ground.

She didn't understand why she was so weak about it but she couldn't control her emotions.

She thought that she had almost gotten over him but seeing him in person now, she felt helpless all over again.

"Uncle Quill, I've ordered your portion as well. You don't have to order anymore."

As Beanie's voice filled the room, Vera slowly came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm herself down.

"Alright," Quill replied with a cold tone. "What time did you reach the airport? Why didn't you inform me? I could have picked you up." His tone softened as he spoke to his nephew.

"It's okay, Uncle Quill. Mommy said that you're busy so I didn't inform you. Mommy worries about you too. You must take good care of yourself, Uncle Quill!" Beanie replied. "Okay, I will."

As the two of them were having a conversation, Beanie realized that Vera was oddly quiet. He glanced at her once again and realized that her head was still lowered. "Auntie Vera, why aren't you talking?" He couldn't help but ask.

She took a deep breath and slowly lifted her head up as she was being called. She smiled faintly at Quill.

"Hello... Mr. Hanover."

His gaze swept across the stiff smile on her face and he nodded faintly, "Hello."

They were distant like strangers.

Vera's hands clenched together under the table and she bit her lips lightly.

They shouldn't need to be so formal with each other, but they had become like strangers again.

All of this was caused by her one sided feelings.

It wouldn't have become like that if she wasn't so proactive towards him before this.

At least, her relationship with him would not have become so rigid.

"No!"

She shook her head violently in her heart.

"Vera, why are you still thinking about that now? You've already decided to forget about this man! What are you still doing here? Are you still planning to have a

relationship with him?"

"Do you still want to be involved in such a complicated relationship? Or do you still want to go back to becoming that annoying Vera with no principles?"

"No!"

She couldn't let it go on like this. She had to get out of here.

After giving herself a pep talk, she decided to leave. "I... I've just realized that I made an appointment with someone today and I am about to be late. Mr. Hanover, since you're here, please send Beanie home later so his mom won't worry about him. Thave to go," she said as she pretended that she had an urgent meeting to attend to.

Then, she stood up from her chair instantly. Her movement was so aggressive that the chair behind her toppled over.

Her expression changed instantly and she quickly fumbled to pick up the chair.

Beanie realized that something was off as he wrinkled his little nose.

What was going on?

Did his kindness turn out wrongly?

"I'm sorry about that... You two enjoy your meal. I'll leave first."

She placed the chair back in place and picked up her handbag. Then, she walked hurriedly towards the door and fled the scene.

"Auntie Vera..." Beanie exclaimed.

However, Vera didn't seem to hear him call out to her as she disappeared from the room.

After what happened, he felt moody. His attention then fell onto Quill.

"Uncle Quill..."

Quill smiled faintly and said, "Since she has something to attend to, you should eat well. I'll send you home after our meal."

After that, he reached out his arm and poured the child a glass of water.

Beanie kept quiet.

He wasn't sure if he was overthinking but he realized that Quill seemed gloomy all of a sudden.

He planned this because he promised Vera that he would help her. Therefore, he invited Quill to meet them here so he could create an opportunity for the both of them. However, something went wrong based on their reactions.

Could something have happened during the period of time when he was with his greatgrandfather?

He had so many questions on his mind but he didn't dare to ask Quill for answers.

On the other hand, Vera stopped after walking hurriedly to a distance away from the room. She realized that her legs were feeling too numb to walk any further. She then quickly asked for directions from a waiter who was walking towards her.

"Excuse me, where is the washroom?"
