Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1163

In the end, Quill stroked her head again and asked her to go upstairs. Vera turned around and left with a blushing face.

When she went back inside, she was still spacing out.

After all, what happened was too illusory. Did Quill seem to be a lot more gentle to her? Although his tone was still as indifferent as before, it was no longer as cold and unapproachable. Was it because of that kiss?

Thinking of that, Vera's cheeks started to heat up.

Swoosh...

The door opened, and Mabie poked her head out.

"What are you doing? Why are you giggling by the door?"

Vera immediately stopped smiling and snorted as she went back to her room.

In the Ocean Villa.

On the wooden patio by the sea, Minerva sat down with difficulty while supporting her belly. She tried to put her feet into the cold waters. Then, a faint voice rang out from behind. "Mommy, Daddy will be upset if he sees that."

As she heard that, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Beanie, who followed behind her. She looked a little awkward.

"He's not here, isn't he? I'll do it secretly; he won't catch me."

Beanie blinked innocently and said, "But Mommy, Daddy asked me to keep an eye on you before he went out."

Minerva was speechless.

"Beanie, I am your mommy. Are you sure you want to bully me along with your daddy?"

Beanie walked to Minerva's side, pulled on her sleeve, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"But Mommy, you're going to have a baby soon. The water is so cold at this hour; it's not good for your health..."

"The weather is getting warmer; it's no big deal for me to have some fun, is it?"

As she was due very soon, Maddox kept an even tighter eye on her; she wasn't allowed to go anywhere. He was so protective of her as if she was a precious jewel, afraid that anything might happen to her. Minerva didn't know to be sad or happy about it.

It was because Maddox was never with her when she delivered. He felt that he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband during her first pregnancy. Therefore, he wanted to make sure that he accompanied her this time.

Who would have thought that he would be so strict after he read the precautions during pregnancy?

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice but to leave that day, but he couldn't bring her along with him, Minerva thought he might even put her in her pocket and take her along.

It was only when Minerva promised that she would obediently stay in her room until he came back that Maddox left. But even so, he still got someone to keep an eye on her.

Yes, it was Beanie.

"Beanie, your Daddy has no experience in giving birth, but I do. When I was pregnant with you, I wasn't as restricted as now; I even went to work then. In short, I did a lot of things I should not have done during pregnancy. You still ended up fine, didn't you?"

"Humph, it's not the same. I am a boy, but Mommy is pregnant with a little girl now. A girl must be well protected..."

Minerva was rendered speechless.

What Beanie said sounded so reasonable that she couldn't refute his words.

"Mommy, get up quickly. Daddy will be back soon, and if he sees that you left the room, he will watch you even more closely in the future.

His words reminded Minerva. That's right. If Maddox found out about this, or if something happened to her, he would definitely watch her even more closely.

She probably wouldn't even have the chance to walk around freely like now...

These words struck Minerva as she stared right at Beanie. "You've convinced me."

"Mommy, let's go back then. I'll keep you company today."

"Okay."

Minerva got up with some difficulty, and Beanie went forward to help her up. Then, the two of them held hands and walked back to the room.

Sheridan had to lay in the hospital

for a few days before he could

move. Deep down, he was filled with

hatred. He wanted to take revenge

on Vera, yet he was afraid of Quill.

His gaze looked like Hades that

night. It was not an exaggeration to

say that he wanted to kill him.

As for why he was able to keep his life, it was probably because the heavens had decided to give him a chance to let him get his revenge on Vera after he could leave.

Actually, the police had already

come a few days ago. But at that time, the doctor said that Sheridan's injuries were severe, so he could not be discharged for the time being. The police had sent someone to stand guard at the hospital, They planned to take Sheridan away when his injuries were better.

However, Sheridan's injuries were so severe that he laid unconscious most of the time, so he didn't know about it at all.

Vera had been staying at home all this while. Mr. and Mrs. Zais were afraid that she would be frightened, so they did not let her go out, let alone the restaurant. They said that she needed a good rest and shouldn't be out and about.

How could Vera not know? The two of them were just afraid that Sheridan would come to get his revenge if she had gone out.

"Mom, Dad, don't lock me up anymore. I'll become moldy if I continue to stay at home. I want to go out for a bit. At least let me go to the restaurant to help out. It's my restaurant; how can I let you two work so hard for me?"

"No way." Mabie refused her request without hesitation.

Vera looked all depressed.

"Mom, aren't you just worried that that person will cause me trouble when I go out? Actually, he won't be able to. He's too seriously injured. He's probably lying in the hospital, unable to get up. There's no chance that he can do anything to me."

Vera guessed Mabie's thoughts, and Mabie narrowed her eyes.

"How did you know that he was seriously injured? That night..."

Vera nodded. "Mm."

"Did he beat him up that badly?"

She recalled how Quill looked when he beat Sheridan up that night. If she hadn't stopped him, Quill would have beaten him to death. She didn't expect that he, who had always seemed indifferent, would have had such a big reaction.

"Mom, it's not that. It was just that Sheridan went too far that night, and I also helped. I hit him as well.

Vera's eye darted a little when she

said the last part. She obviously wasn't confident when she said

those words. How could Mabie not know that her daughter was just trying to defend that man? As she thought about it, she held her daughter's hand and asked, "Are you

serious about him? Is it that you wouldn't want to marry anyone else but

him?"

Vera's face turned red. "Mom, why would you suddenly ask this? Weren't we talking about me going out?"

"Answer me first, and then I'll think about whether I should let you out."

After thinking about it, Vera felt that it was better that she speak the truth. She felt that Quill was the only one for her anyway; she might as well put it out there bluntly.

"Yeah." She nodded and admitted it. "Mom, do you know the feeling of when you can't see anyone else except for that one person?"

Mabie's heart shuddered when she heard Vera's words. Then, she heard Vera continue speaking.

"When I first met him, I didn't like him at all. But when I started falling for him, I couldn't see anyone else anymore, no matter how outstanding others were."

Mabie calmed herself a bit. "I understand. If you really think so, then I'll support you, but... How does he feel about you?"
