Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1173

It was true that she had been squatting there for too long, moreover, came over without having breakfast, and she didn't sleep well the night before. Since there was insufficient blood supply to her brain after squatting for a long time, and her blood sugar was low, she felt parched and uncomfortable as soon as she got up.

She leaned against him for a while, then tugged her lips into a faint smile with difficulty. "I'm fine. My feet just became numb. You don't have to worry."

Quill lowered his head and stared at her.

"W-what is it?" She stammered. Vera was stupefied by his burning gaze.

The next second, Vera thought she heard a barely audible sigh coming from his throat, then Quill said, "Give me your phone."

Vera didn't know what he was going to do, but she still handed him her phone. After Quill took it, he kept it in his pocket and carried her in his arms.

"Ah..." Before Vera could react, her arms had already reflexively draped over his neck as she cried out in surprise.

"What is it?"

Vera smelt a faint minty fragrance on his body when she got close. Had he just got up? So did he brush his teeth after reading the text, or the other way around?

It was as if Quill could read her thoughts; he reminded her, "Call me first before you come next time. I can pick you up as well. You came over so recklessly without giving me a call beforehand. If I had something else in hand, how long do you intend to wait?"

"I... It's not like that. I just waited for a few minutes."

"A few minutes? You sent the text more than ten minutes ago. Or do you think I'm gullible?"

Vera became flustered when she saw that Quill was inexplicably annoyed and he sounded serious. They just started dating the day before, and he was already upset.

"I'm sorry. I won't do this again. Don't be angry..." After saying that, Vera quickly tightened her arms around his neck as she buried her face in it, and muffled, "I was just afraid of disturbing you because I planned to come over in the afternoon. But... I came ahead of time. I was afraid that you would still be asleep, so... But you don't have to worry, it's shady here. It's really fine for me to wait for over ten minutes." Quill's heart softened, and his gaze became more gentle when Vera rubbed her head against his neck as she spoke softly.

"Just call me right away next time. You don't have to be so cautious since we're a couple now."

After that, Quill walked forward while carrying her in his arms. It was then Vera realized that they were not far from his villa. She just didn't know which one it was, so she didn't dare to enter hastily. Being held in Quill's arms made her feel like everything was like a dream again. It seemed that she was among the clouds once again.

It was only when Quill put her down on the sofa, and Vera felt the texture, that she felt a sense of reality.

But soon, Vera realized she still had her shoes on, so she quickly took them off and put them on the shoe rack. When she stood straight after bending down, she still felt a little dizzy.

If possible, she should sleep earlier next time and also get up early to have her breakfast.

She didn't expect her own body to be so weak.

While she was deep in thought, Quill's voice traveled to her ears.

"Come here."

Vera came back to her senses. She rubbed her temples, then turned around and walked over.

"Let's have breakfast," Quill said.

"It's fine... I already ate before coming." Vera declined.

She was too embarrassed to tell him that she didn't have her breakfast, nor did she sleep well last night because she couldn't wait to see him. She was afraid that Quill might make fun of her. However, she couldn't hide her condition as it was written all over her face. After a moment of silence, Quill rephrased his words.

"Then, why don't you accompany me and have a little more."

Vera didn't know what to say.

It seemed that it wasn't a bad idea. She blinked, then nodded, and went over to have breakfast with Quill.

Quill prepared breakfast himself.

Vera wanted to help, but he wouldn't

allow her to enter the kitchen. She

could only wait obediently at the dining table. She looked at the man

in the kitchen through the glass

QUMS

door.

Quill had put on an apron. Although it was grey, it still gave him a domestic feel. Vera suddenly felt that she was a little closer to him.

The Quill in his office, dressed in a suit, gave her a powerful and distant feeling.

However, his domestic look was completely different.

Vera couldn't resist the urge to take a picture of Quill with her phone. However, when she tried to look for it, she realized that her phone was still in his pocket.

She became a little depressed. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have given him the phone. If she had it with her, she could secretly take a few pictures at this time.

She didn't know how long she

waited before breakfast was finally

ready. Vera didn't expect that he

would actually cook for her. She was rather embarrassed; her cheeks

were flushed even when she was drinking milk.

Quill spoke unintentionally, "Have you told Minerva about us?"

"Huh?"

Vera was taken aback. She didn't expect him to ask such a question so suddenly. She couldn't react for a moment.

"Right, we just confirmed our relationship yesterday. You wouldn't be able to tell her so soon even if you wanted to." Hearing this, Vera unconsciously held the cup in her hand a little tighter and bit her lower lip in hesitation.

In fact, she didn't think to tell

Minerva about them so soon. After all, she still did not know if Quill was dating her because he liked her. Perhaps he did like her a little, but she still hadn't a clue as to how long they would last.

Thinking of it, Vera said softly. "About that... I was thinking that it's better to not tell Minerva for the time being."

"Huh?"

Quill stopped in his actions and looked at Vera.

Vera explained awkwardly, "Minerva is your sister and my best friend, after all. She had always hoped that we would get together. I'm sure she would be happy if we told her now, but what if, in the future..." Vera didn't finish the rest of her thoughts, and she paused for a while before continuing.

"If something happens... I am afraid that she will feel sad for us."

Quill didn't speak.

He understood what she meant. He then narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Vera.

His sharp gaze made Vera's back go stiff. She bit her lip lightly and drank the milk at a loss.

Because she was too nervous, she drank the milk too quickly, and she accidentally spilled the milk on her shirt.

"Ah..." Vera exclaimed and stood up directly. As a result, she accidentally knocked the juice beside and spilled both the milk and juice on herself.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Being drenched in milk and juice, she suddenly became chaotic.

How could she... have done such a stupid thing?

Quill strode over and took a napkin to wipe for her, but it was still too late. The milk had already soaked her white T-shirt, and her slightly wet shirt stuck against her torso, revealing her beautiful curves.
