Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1158

In the Zais family home.

"How is it? Did Vivy tell you when she would be coming back?"

Actually, Mabie got up bright and early to cook some porridge. The couple didn't sleep all night because they were too worried about their daughter, so Mabie got up to cook first thing in the morning so that Vera could eat some porridge as soon as she got back.

Who would've thought that she hadn't come back after a long wait; she didn't even give them a call.

Therefore, they called her instead. After hearing that Vivy was coming back soon, Mabie urged David to quickly finish his bowl of porridge and eat a little more.

"Didn't she say that she would be coming back soon? Why are you urging me? Eat up."

David said, "I didn't sleep all night because I was worried about her. I haven't seen her yet; how could I eat?"

"Don't eat if you don't want to. You better have the energy to talk to Vera when she comes back. Don't eat like mad in front of her."

David wanted to roll his eyes at Mabie's scolding. "How can you speak like this, Mabie? Don't tell me you're not worried about Vera. How could you have such good appetite?"

Mabie was so angry with him that she took away the bowl in front of David. "If you don't want to eat, just leave it and go. Not only won't my conscience hurt, but I'm also doing very well. Can't you think for one second why I'm asking you to eat up? If you got angry about what Vera would say later, how would you have the energy to teach that b*stard a lesson? I think Sheridan probably did something to Vera last night, or else why would he end up in the hospital?"

Hearing that, David instantly came to his senses.

"I see! Then I have to hurry up and eat more. If Sheridan really dared to bully Vera, I swear I'll beat him to a pulp!"

After saying that, David was going to take back the bowl in Mabie's hand. Mabie sneered. "Get your own food; don't you have any hands?"

David didn't answer.

He had no choice as he refuted Mabie earlier, so she scolded him back. David did not dare to say a word; he could only go into the kitchen and get some porridge himself. Quill sent Vera back to her place. Vera unbuckled her seat belt and turned to look at Quill.

"Thank you for sending me home, and... last night as well... thank you."

As she said that, Vera saw Quill unfastened his seat belt.

She was dumbfounded and asked blankly, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go with you to explain the situation."

Vera was totally dumbstruck.

How could she let that happen? If Quill went up, Mabie would definitely misunderstand. Thinking of this, Vera quickly stopped him.

"It's already nine. Don't you have to go to work?"

"I've pushed back my schedule. I am free in the morning."

"But, you're the president of a company. Won't it be bad if you don't go to work?"

Just when Vera was still trying hard to persuade him, Quill suddenly stopped his actions and turned his head to look at her in silence.

She was attempting to persuade him just now, but now that he was staring at her with his cold gaze, she felt nervous and didn't dare to speak further.

"No rush." He looked at Vera and said word by word. "We should deal with your affairs first."

Vera didn't know how to respond to that.

Vera bit her lower lip, feeling a little conflicted inside. She felt that he didn't have to help her deal with it. He had already beaten Sheridan to the point of staying in the hospital; he surely wouldn't do anything to her.

"Really..."

Vera still wanted to say something else, but Quill had already opened the door and got out of the car while she remained in her seat, staring into space. She realized that she could not persuade him otherwise once he had made up his mind; she could only follow him.

So be it; they would just go with the flow.

When they were about to go upstairs together, a sharp voice suddenly came from not far behind.

"Oh my, hadn't I said that Vera was

already seeing someone. She still had the nerve to say that she's single. I was kind enough to

introduce her to a blind date who would've thought that she already

has a boyfriend. If I had known

earlier, I wouldn't have wasted

everyone's time."

Amelia's words could be heard from afar.

The entire block could hear her.

Several neighbors were at the door. Some of them were playing with their children, and some were chatting in groups. This was a common scene in Vera's neighborhood. Amelia's shout was merely to let others hear her.

Was Amelia trying to defile her to save her own reputation?

Since when was she dating anyone? Just because Quill was standing beside her? If it weren't for Quill last night, she might have been...

Thinking of this, the hostility in Vera's heart became greater, and the hands by her side were also clenched into fists.

She quietly waited for Amelia to come.

Although Amelia was quite old, she was quite fast. Soon, she stood in front of Vera. She initially wanted to rush straight to Vera, but when she saw the tall man standing beside Vera, she eliminated those thoughts and kept a distance.

"Vera, what's wrong with you? Why

did you ask me to introduce you to a man when you already have a boyfriend? Sheridan is a genuine person, and he helps you out in your restaurant every day after work, He is so honest and modest; he is also sincere to you. Even if you don't like him, you should make it clear to him. Why did you get your boyfriend to beat him up to the point of being sent to the hospital? Now he is lying in the hospital. His injuries are so severe. I heard the doctor say that he had dozens of broken bones."

Amelia's accusations rendered Vera speechless. The corner of her mouth twitched as she thought, "Continue making stories up. Can he still be alive if dozens of his bones were broken? It's not that he would be dead; it's just that he would be half dead."

In fact, Vera hated Sheridan to the core after his despicable actions the night before. If Quill had not appeared, what would await her? What could she do in the future?

Thinking of this, Vera's eyes became colder. She raised her chin and looked at Amelia fearlessly.

"Madam Amelia, you kept saying that my boyfriend was the one who beat him up so badly that he ended up in the hospital. Did you witness it with your own eyes?" Her voice was not soft, but it was enough for gossipers to hear.

At the same time, the neighbors also sensed that something was going on, so they slowly surrounded them.

Vera knew that if she didn't make things clear on the spot, the neighbors would surely talk behind her back in the future. She didn't care much about whatever they had to say.

However, she could not allow these people to criticize her parents freely.

Amelia was stunned for a bit. She didn't expect vera to talk back. After a while, she said, "Sure, I didn't witness it with my own eyes. I'm just an old woman who stays at home all day. How could I have witnessed it? But today, Sheridan called me and told me that he was injured. I went to the hospital to visit him, and his injuries were severe!"
