Vera was taken aback by a split second. Before she could react, Ko by had already thrown itself into her arms. She was stunned for a few seconds and then hugged Ko by tightly for fear that it would fall. Ko by turned around and rubbed itself against her arm, then gently nestled in her arms.

It was so cute and adorkable.

Vera was elated. She held the ragdoll and got up, looking at Quill in embarrassment.

"It can stay with you tonight if you'd like."

"Is that okay?" Vera asked with uncertainty. Actually, she wanted to ask if she really had to sleep here.

"Yeah." Quill walked forward. "It's getting late. I'll take you back to your room. You should rest early."

Vera held Ko by and followed behind him as they entered the room together. Quill took her to the bedroom and said, "You can sleep here tonight. I am just next door. If you need anything, you can call my phone or call me directly."

He really made her stay here.

Vera held Ko by, nodded at a loss, and whispered a

hum.

"Then I'll be going."

Before leaving, Quill stopped and looked at her. Vera suddenly became nervous. "What's wrong?"

"Don't think too much. I will... solve the matter. Have a good rest," Quill said.

After that, he couldn't help but put his hand on Vera's head and gently rubbed it.

Vera was astonished.

It was not until she heard the sound of the door closing that she came back to her senses. Just now... Quill had actually rubbed her head? And she was stunned on the spot and forgot to react. "Meow!" Suddenly, Ko by struggled in her arms. Vera lowered her head and asked, "What is it, Ko by?"

"Meow!" Ko by jumped out of her arms, onto the bed, slipped into the quilt, and laid down. Then it looked at Vera as if it was inviting her to bed.

Vera did not react.

She felt as if the cat was behaving like a human.

After thinking for a while, Vera also got into bed. Ko by quickly moved to her side and meowed once. Vera took the opportunity to touch its head for a while and lay down. Too many things had happened that night.

However, the most unforgettable thing for her was Quill's kiss. It happened so suddenly that she had no time to react. Vera had no idea how she managed to interact with him after that. She reached out her hand and touched her lips gently with her fingertips. Her heart was burning with heat.

Why... Why did he kiss her?

Was it what she was thinking? Vera closed her eyes and didn't dare to think further. She was afraid that she might think too much and end up disappointed again.

She petted Koby's head and went closer to it to ask in a low voice.

"Koby, why do you think... he did that all of a sudden?"

"Meow?" Ko by turned its head and stared at her with its beady eyes.

"Alas, you're just a cat. What would you know? Let's sleep." Vera tucked the two of them in and closed her eyes, preparing to sleep.

She had thought that once she closed her eyes, she would see the images of Sheridan trying to humiliate her. However, who would've thought all she saw was Quill. His eyebrows, his eyes, his lips...

Vera shook her head, trying to shake Quill's face off her mind. Then she turned over and went back to sleep.

But even so, Quill still kept her mind occupied.

Vera opened her eyes and looked at the snow-white ceiling. At this moment, she felt that she would never be able to love anyone else but Quill for the rest of her life.

If he didn't want her, then... she wouldn't be able to get married, and she'll be lonely until the end of her time.

After tossing and turning, Vera finally fell asleep in exhaustion at about four or five in the morning.

In her dream, Quill gently lifted her face, lowered his head to kiss her. He kissed her again and again...

The whole night, Vera dreamed of kissing.

When she opened her eyes the next day, she found that she had actually drooled. She was so scared that she quickly jumped up and wiped her mouth. Whereas, Ko by who accompanied her last night, was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, it had run out as the bedroom door was slightly opened.

Vera sat in a daze for a few seconds before she got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. She also washed the pillow cover she used last night. After sleeping for the whole night, she realized that Quill's shirt had become so wrinkled that it was hideous. However, she did not have any new clothes. While she was thinking, there was a sound of meow from outside the bathroom.

"Meow..."

"Koby?" As soon as Vera came out of the bathroom, she saw Koby sitting on the carpet obediently. It had a bag in front of him which looked like there was something in it. "What is this?" Vera went forward and squatted down to check, only to replace that there were girl's clothes in the bag. She felt a little strange, "Why would you suddenly..."

In the middle of her words, Vera thought of something and was enlightened and stunned.

How could she be so stupid? Obviously, it was Quill who prepared the clothes.

There was no one else here since she came last night; there were only two people and a cat.

She didn't expect that he would ask the cat to send her clothes.

"Meow?" Koby's task has been completed.

The ragdoll turned around and ran away.

Vera took the clothes and went back to the bathroom. When she opened the bag, she found that there were even

ders in there. Whe

Vera changed into the new undergarments, her face was burning. Because it fitted perfectly,

she wondered how he guessed her

sizing so accurately.

She rarely wore a dress, but Quill bought her a sweet white dress with small blue flowers. It looked good on her, but it felt... strange.

Maybe because she was not used to it?

Vera scratched her head, tied up her hair, and then went out of the room.

Vera thought there was no one else here; she didn't expect to meet a middle-aged woman as soon as she got out of the room. As their eyes met, the woman smiled first.

"It's Miss Zais, right? I'm a servant hired by Mr. Quill to clean up the place. He said that you could go downstairs to have breakfast after you wake up."

"Eh?" There was actually a servant cleaning up here?

Of course. The house was spotless

when they came last night.

en

Moreover, Quill didn't usually live here, so there must be someone who would come to clean up once in a while. Otherwise, it would be dirty after some time.

She smiled shyly at her and asked, "Hello, how do I address you?" "Miss Zais, you're too polite. You can just call me Florence." "Thank you, Florence. Then I'll... head down first?"

"Go ahead, Miss Zais. Be careful as you walk down the stairs."

After saying goodbye to Florence, Vera went downstairs. Although she had changed her clothes, she was still wearing Quill's slippers, so it was

a little difficult to walk down the

stairs.

Halfway down the stairs, she suddenly heard a voice coming from downstairs.

"Stay there, don't move."

Huh?

Vera turned around and met with Quill's eyes.
