Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1195

Jelly Bean was lying on the princess-like cradle, dressed in pink. When Maddox picked her up, she instantly stopped crying and looked at Maddox curiously with her pure eyes. Seeing Jelly Bean like that, the gloom in Maddox's heart faded.

He stretched out his finger and tapped Jelly Bean's fair and tender forehead lightly, whispering, "You little fool. Don't cry at any time in the future. You're bothering us."

Maybe it was because of the telepathy between father and daughter; Jelly Bean started giggling again when she was being tapped.

When she smiled, the last bit of gloom that remained in Maddox's heart completely disappeared. However, he still had a dark expression on his face. It was just that the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He reached out again and poked Jelly Bean's cheek, teasing her with his fingers. Jelly Bean giggled.

She looked cute no matter how.

When Minerva saw that, she shook her head helplessly.

She was more and more worried about Jelly Bean. How could she laugh so happily at his father's gloomy face? What the hell was she giggling at?

The business in the pasta restaurant was average that day, so Vera texted Quill on her phone. After a while, Quill said that he had to go for a meeting and asked her to wait for him. Vera agreed obediently and grinned with her phone in her hand.

In fact, when Quill went to work, Vera didn't dare text him. After all, who knew if he would have a business to deal with in the next second. When he said that he came after receiving her message the last time, Vera would not take the initiative to message him when he was at work.

But Quill probably considered other factors; he would occasionally send her messages when he was free. So they agreed on texting only when they were free, and if there was something important, they would attend to it immediately.

As for Vera, if there were customers in the restaurant, she would not even have time to reply to Quill's message. By the time she was free to check her phone, it might be a few hours later. However, the beginning of a relationship was always sweet. They would always make use of every second and minute to chat and send messages.

As soon as she put the phone down, Vera was ready to get up when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the restaurant.

Just one glance, Vera started to avoid his gaze as it was none other than Sam, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

After the last time he came to bid farewell to her, although Vera felt somewhat sorrowful, she soon forgot about that man.

This showed how much Sam meant in her heart. It was also true that love couldn't be forced.

However, Vera felt sad thinking about everything Sam had done for her. If possible, she wished Sam had never liked her. That way, he would not stay single up till now, and she would not have to feel so guilty. When their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on Sam's face.

Although there was a scar on his face, it didn't affect his appearance at all since he was already rather good-looking. It was too unfair for Sam, who was so sincere, not to be able to replace someone who would treat him well.

Sam didn't know that Quill and Vera were already together. He had just finished his work and had come back from abroad. The first thing he did after returning was to look for Vera and see how she had been doing.

Just as he wished, Vera looked to be much better than before. Her face was rosy, and the most important thing was that her eyes were bright.

Seeing Vera like that, he was relieved, but at the same time, his heart was in suspense, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

Before he left, he had a vague feeling that his trip would change many things. Perhaps... he truly was too late.

When Sam walked up to Vera, she had already smiled at him.

"Are you... finished with your work?"

She really didn't know how to treat Sam. She was afraid that if she warmed up to him, he would misunderstand. If she was cold toward him, she was scared that she would hurt his feelings. Although the two of them couldn't be lovers, they were still friends after getting to know each other for so long.

There was a saying that there were no pure friends of the opposite sex. The only exception was if one played dumb and the other didn't say a thing.

She couldn't play dumb, and neither could Sam keep silent. So were they destined not to even be

friends?

Thinking of that, Vera only felt sorry in her heart, but soon she became firm. If staying friends would give Sam a glimmer of hope, she'd as well lay it all out. "Yeah." Sam nodded with a smile and looked around the restaurant, "Why are there so few people today? Have you been slacking off recently?"

There was a trace of affection in his voice. Vera noticed that there were dark circles under his eyes. He probably did not have a good rest Moreover, after not seeing him for a while, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Vera could only explain, "It's Monday today. Maybe everyone has to go to work. It'll be better at noon."

After chatting for a while, Sam put his hand into his pocket. He brought a gift for Vera on this trip. He didn't go anywhere else after he got off the plane and just wanted to visit her to see if there was a chance to give her the gift.

Just as Sam was about to take out the gift and give it to Vera as if it was nothing, Mabie suddenly came out.

"Eh? Sam, you're back?"

With that, Sam's hand paused. He withdrew it as if nothing had happened and nodded to Mabie.

"Madam, long time no see."

Mabie was obviously delighted to see Sam. She quickly stepped forward and brought him in for tea. Sam followed her with a helpless smile on his face. Vera looked at Sam, who was being pulled in, and felt somewhat annoyed with her mother.

She and Sam were destined not to be together.

In addition, she was with Quill.

Although she didn't know if it would last long, she had decided that she would not be with anyone except for him in her lifetime. Mabie was so enthusiastic towards Sam. What if he misunderstood?

In reality, Mabie also had her own thoughts. Of course, she liked Sam. Compared to Quill, as a mother, she was more inclined toward Sam.

Sam and her daughter were quite close to each other, but her daughter had no feelings for him, so it was difficult for them to be together.

It was a pity since Sam was such a decent young man. Mabie decided to settle things as soon as possible for her daughter.

"You must be tired from all the work, aren't you? You've lost a lot of weight."
