Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 1054
After entering the washroom, Vera went into one of the bathroom cubicles, pulled the toilet seat cover down, and sat down to compose herself. Her heart was beating furiously and her tears started flowing out of her eyes.
She desperately resisted the impulse to cry and raised her head to prevent her tears from flowing down her face.
"He's just a man. I don't need him." She felt miserable as she wiped her tears with her hand.
However, the more she wiped her tears, the more tears flowed out from her eyes. She couldn't hold it in any longer and started bawling.
She covered her face with her hands and cried like a baby.
Even though she tried so hard to make herself forget about Quill...
She couldn't understand why she still reacted this way upon seeing him. She was frustrated with herself.
She couldn't let it go on like this. She must try harder to forget about him completely.
She could not let herself fall into the hands of this one man for the rest of her life.
"Yes, I am going to open up my shop and get busy. As long as I return to a busy life without seeing him, I will no longer think about him," she thought to herself.
She took out tissue paper from her bag and wiped her tears and nose. Then, she walked out of the cubicle.
As she walked out, a lady came out from the bathroom cubicle beside hers.
The lady must have heard her when she broke down earlier.
The lady looked at Vera's red-rimmed eyes with concern.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Vera shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm fine, thank you."
The woman kept quiet.
Then, Vera rinsed her face at the basin and redid her makeup. She made sure her face looked as usual before she left the washroom.
After leaving the restaurant, she took a taxi home.
She sat in front of the mirror and looked at her slightly swollen eyes. She wrapped some ice cubes in a towel and placed them on her eyes to reduce the swelling. She was living with her parents, and she didn't want them to notice that anything was wrong.
Furthermore, she had already decided what she was going to do and she must be determined about it.
Quill...
"I guess I'll keep this love locked up forever."
"He will just be a stranger to me the next time I see him."
Beanie felt moody throughout the meal.
He didn't really want to have the fish dish from this restaurant. What he really wanted was to have Auntie Vera's cooking, but he came up with this plan for the sake of her happiness. It was all to create an opportunity for her and Uncle Quill to spend some time alone.
He didn't expect for things to turn out this way.
He felt a little depressed and didn't have the appetite to eat.
Let alone Quill, who was not keen on the food in the first place. He was only here because Beanie invited him here all of a sudden.
He had no idea that this was part of the boy's plan.
Furthermore, Vera was petrified by his presence and fled the scene. She seemed to be afraid of meeting him and didn't want to see him at all.
It caused him to feel like a weight was in his heart.
As Beanie was eating, Quill barely touched the food.
After some time, Beanie stopped eating and looked at him with wide eyes.
"You're done eating?" Quill asked.
Beanie took a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. As he looked at the variety of dishes in front of him, he tentatively said, "Auntie Vera told me not to waste food but she didn't even have any before she left. Some of these dishes were even ordered by her. How could she be so wasteful?"
He observed Quill's expression as he spoke.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Quill's expression remained the same and Beanie couldn't tell what he was thinking.
After a while, Quill seemed to think of something and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to waste any food, take away all those untouched dishes."
Beanie asked, "For who?"
Quill glanced at him and said in a soft voice, "Bring it to the office."
The dishes here were above average standard and it would be a treat for the staff members at the office.
"Uncle Quill, aren't you hungry?"
Beanie then suddenly asked, with his hands on his cheeks, "Uncle Quill, do you not have the appetite to eat because Auntie Vera left?"
Quill asked the waiter to pack the food. After hearing what Beanie said, he glanced at him and replied in a cold tone.
"Don't bother doing such meaningless things anymore in the future."
"Hmph! You're blaming me? I won't invite you out for a meal anymore in the future then!"
Upon hearing this, Quill felt that he was too harsh with his words. He then patted Beanie's shoulder and said in a soft voice.
"I am not blaming you but what you did will put Auntie Vera in a bad spot. You also saw how she had reacted earlier." Finally, they got to the point. Beanie seized the opportunity to grab Quill's hand and wanted to get some answers out of him. "Uncle Quill, did you offend Auntie Vera? Maybe that's why she ran away as soon as she saw you!" Offend her?
Before this, she wanted to see Quill
but he didn't allow her to. Not to
mention, what he did to her when they were overseas, she had probably already lost all her feelings towards him.
This was a good thing.
Quill's expression didn't look great but he managed to force a faint smile on his face.
"Maybe. I'm not sure either, but
Beanie, please don't do this again in
the future. You can spend time with
Auntie Vera but don't invite me along, alright?"
Beanie replied, "Why? Don't you like Auntie Vera? I wish that she could be my aunt."
Hearing the word 'aunt', Quill frowned subconsciously and yelled, "Don't talk nonsense anymore or I'll be angry."
Beanie kept quiet.
He didn't expect that Quill would be so angry with him. He was shocked and he dared not speak for a moment.
Quill also realized that he lost control of his temper. Beanie was just a child and there was no reason for him to be so upset with him.
Moreover, Beanie didn't know the reason behind all of this.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. Have you had enough food? If not, how about I take you to eat something that you like?" Beanie pretended to be angry and deliberately said, "Then you should send me to Auntie Vera's home. I want to eat the dishes made by her." Quill was speechless.
"If you're unwilling to send me there, then forget about it. I don't want to go home anymore. I'll go look for Auntie Vera myself."
After saying that, Beanie turned and ran outside.
Quill was frustrated by the boy's attitude but he knew that if he left him alone, Beanie would try to replace Vera on his own.
He was just a child and it's too dangerous for him to be out alone by himself.
Quill could only stop him. "Wait a minute, I'll take you to meet Auntie Vera once the food is done being packed."
Beanie then stopped and waited in place.
After that, Quill walked to his car in the basement while carrying the food, and sent Beanie to Vera's house.
When they arrived at the destination,
Beanie looked at the familiar
building in front of him and said,
"Uncle Quill, how did you know this is
where Auntie Vera lives? I've only been here twice including when she brought me here just now."
