Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1181

Vera then turned around and ran into the kitchen.

After Quill was done talking to Ernest, he turned back and found that Vera had already run into the kitchen, leaving Mabie standing there alone.

He paused for a while and then regained his calm demeanor. After bidding goodbye to Mabie, he left with Ernest.

Vera stayed in the kitchen for a long time, and Mabie went in.

"Mom, have they left?"

"They've left. Why didn't you stay out there if you're that curious about it?"

Vera didn't answer her. She thought that she had just met Quill earlier that morning. What if he got tired of her because she was too clingy? After she started dating, she didn't care much about the businesses anymore. That wasn't a good thing. She should allocate her time well.

Time flew by, and soon it was the end of the month. There were only two days until Minerva was due.

Maddox kept an even tighter watch on her, rarely leaving her side. In Beanie's words, his father had gone completely mad. He guarded his mother like a madman and controlled her in every aspect. Beanie felt exasperated. A man in love...

As Minerva was due soon, Maddox was still keeping watch at the side when Minerva called her over, and it made Vera feel extremely uncomfortable. She did not even have the chance to tell Minerva her

secrets.

She could only keep her voice low as she complained to Minerva.

"Why isn't Mr. Yardley leaving? I feel so uncomfortable when he's here staring at us like that."

Although Vera knew that Maddox's attention was fully on Minerva, she was still there as well. She felt that the atmosphere was tense when Maddox was in the room.

Minerva was peeling and eating an orange, and she gave Maddox a glance once she heard Vera's words. She found him sitting there with his hands crossed, staring at them all the while.

Minerva couldn't help but sigh. She turned to Vera and said, "To tell you the truth, I feel like he has gone mad lately. I don't know if he'll be better after the baby's born. He has been keeping watch as if I'm a prisoner."

Vera replied, "That sounds a little scary."

After saying that, Vera suddenly thought of her future with Quill. If she was pregnant, would Quill keep an eye on her like how Mr. Yardley would?

It seemed... that it wasn't too annoying either.

Thinking of that, Vera suddenly understood Maddox's actions. Perhaps it was because he really loved her that he was acting that way.

"Actually, maybe Mr. Yardley cares too much about you."

Minerva wasn't displeased with how Maddox was acting either. She just felt that he would exhaust himself. After all, he kept a watchful eye on her even when she was resting. When she woke up, he still wouldn't take a rest.

What would happen after the baby was born?

"I mean it. But I'm still a big coward; I don't want to stay with him in the same space, or... should I head back first?" Vera whispered to Minerva to express her dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing that, Minerva glanced at her with a complaining look in her eyes.

"You barely come and accompany me. How can you already leave when you just got here? Are we not best friends anymore?"

Vera was rendered speechless.

She wanted to stay as well, but the atmosphere was too terrifying.

"Why don't you ask Quill to come over?"

Vera was dumbstruck at once.

Vera knew that she couldn't hide the fact that she was in a relationship with Quill. Although she didn't mean to conceal it, she didn't bring it up as well. Yet there was a big mouth in the restaurant; it was Beanie. How could Beanie hide that secret from his mommy?

Vera felt defeated and asked, "Perhaps he's busy?"

Minerva waved her arms and said, "Isn't his girlfriend more important than his job?"

Vera didn't know what to say.

"Send him a message. Ask him to come over to get Maddox to leave. I also feel weird being stared at like this by him."

Since Minerva had already said so, Vera could only take out her phone and send Quill a text.

After sending the text, she didn't

receive any replies for a while. Vera

guessed that Quill was probably

dealing with his work in the

company at that hour, so hecouldn't

reply to her texts.

"He's probably quite busy. I don't know if he'll reply or not, but I already sent him the text."

As soon as she finished her words, her phone beeped.

Vera looked at it; Quill had responded to her text.

"Are you free right now?" was her text. Quill replied, "What's the matter?"

When Vera read the text, Minerva also leaned over and looked at it. She then urged Vera when she saw the reply, "Ask him to come over quickly."

Vera was at a loss for words, "I don't think that's a good idea. Why don't we forget about it?"

"Why are you so afraid? He's your boyfriend, not your enemy. All you have to do is to ask; it's up to him whether to come or not."

Minerva probably succeeded in persuading Vera, so Vera asked Quill if he could come over, but she said it in a quite euphemistic way. "Umm... I'm with Minerva right now. Do you want to come over?"

After finishing her words, she was afraid Quill would think that her tone was too much, so she quickly followed with a cute emoji. Minerva, who was sitting at the side, witnessed the whole process and blinked.

"Do you two usually talk this way?"

Vera nodded, "Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

Minerva smiled and said, "None at all. Let's wait

for him."

As long as she was happy with it. Such a way of getting along together was not bad as well.

"Well, he's at work now, so he probably won't be able to come."

As soon as she said that, Quill replied her text.

"Wait for me."

Vera didn't expect that he would really agree to it, so her heart started pounding rapidly. She took her phone and stuffed it into the bag.

"I told you he'd come, didn't I?" Minerva winked at her and smiled.

"He must have agreed after hearing that I'm here with you. After all, you're his sister. He'll definitely come."

"Is that so?" Minerva lifted her eyebrows and wasn't bothered by it.

Soon, Quill arrived. When he arrived there, he realized that Maddox was also in the room. Maddox's attitude was not too enthusiastic when facing his brother-in-law, but not too cold as well.

Both men just nodded their heads as a greeting.

Quill then walked over to Vera's side. He asked Minerva about her current situation first before turning to Vera.

"Why did you ask me to come over?"

Vera immediately felt embarrassed and mumbled, "No, it's nothing... It's just...'

"Quill." Minerva interrupted them, "Is she not allowed to ask you to come over if there's nothing? Don't just focus on work. You should spend more time with your girlfriend." Vera didn't know what to say.

She secretly tugged at Minerva's shirt, but Quill didn't answer. He gave Minerva a glance and seemed to agree with her words. Then he nodded and said, "Alright."

A few minutes later.

Vera and Minerva stared blankly at the two men sitting side by side, who had the same cold aura. They looked at each other for a long time. Minerva sighed.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have called him over."

Minerva initially thought that Quill

would bring Maddox away when he came over and she could have a

nice chat with her best friend. Who knew that he would sit side by side with Maddox there? Was that his so-called "accompany his girlfriend"?
