Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1345

Thus when she went to replace Quill, she fell asleep on the sofa waiting for him to finish his meeting.

Vera didn't even notice when he came in.

She was sleeping like a log.

Quill didn't wake her but went to the lounge and got a blanket to cover her, preventing her from catching a cold before he went back to work.

He thought she would wake up midway.

However, she was still dead asleep when he finished work.

Quill finally realized that something was amiss. Somewhat worried, he went to her only to replace her breathing steady and her face rosy.

However, the dark circles beneath her eyes were obvious on her pale face.

Was that why she had slept for so long that day?

What had his girl been doing lately?

Thinking of this, Quill knelt in front of the sofa and slowly reached out.

His warm fingertips fell extremely lightly around Vera's eyes, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.

The door to his office was ajar, so Yulia happened to see it when she was about to knock on it.

She was dumbfounded for a while.

She was surprised to see Quill, who was usually cold and restrained, looking so gentle; kneeling in front of Vera, touching her eyes oh-so-carefully.

There was also a sense of deep longing and heartache other than affection in his eyes.

Yulia felt as if her heart was being stabbed by needles.

Why did she have to witness this scene?

Yulia knew that she could not continue to stay there, but she couldn't move. She stood rooted to the ground, watching the man she liked looking at another woman with a gaze full of affection. She felt as if she was swallowing needles.

Just as Yulia forced herself to leave, Quill seemed to have noticed something and looked in her direction.

They happened to meet each other's eyes.

Taken aback, Yulia looked away. Like a cat caught stealing, she took a few steps back and froze outside the door, not making a sound.

Quill pursed his lips and covered Vera with the blanket before stepping out.

He naturally closed the door after he came out, trying to block the outside sound, so that Vera wouldn't be disturbed.

"What's up?"

Hearing this, Yulia looked up at him.

Quill no longer had any affection in his eyes. His gaze at her was normal, like he was looking at anyone else.

She didn't expect that after knowing him for so many years, she still wasn't special in his eyes.

It seemed that he poured all his emotions into that woman.

Though bitter in her heart, Yulia looked indifferent on the surface. She mumbled, "I just came to thank you, that's all. Since you're still busy, I'll leave you be."

Unexpectedly, Quill stopped Yulia. With indifference in his tone, he said, "Let's have a get-together with Ernest some time."

Hearing that he wanted the three of them to have a get-together, Yulia could help spacing out.

The scene of them having fun together appeared before her eyes. The three of them often got together when they were young. Yulia was the youngest and the only girl among the three, so she received the most care.

At first, she thought it would last for a long time, but she did not expect things to turn out like this.

Yulia put on a faint smile as she spoke with indifference.

"I don't think that's necessary. After all, you and Ernest are very busy, and I also have to work. Although you

reassigned me to a more ge

position, I still can't neglect my responsibilities. After all, I am no longer the young lady of the Maxwell family, and I can't be as frivolous as before."

Quill stared at her as he said, "You should know if you're willing, you can..."

Before he finished his words, Yulia

took a step back. Alerted, she stared at Quill and d said, "No, I'm already thankful that you reassigned my position. Besides, the Maxwell family and the Hanover family were close; there is no special relationship between us. So, you'd overstep the boundary if you help me too much. You have a girlfriend now. As a single woman, I'd better not accept too much of your help. Otherwise..."

Speaking of this, Yulia glanced at the door behind Quill and smiled slightly. "I can't afford to bear the responsibility of making your girlfriend misunderstand."

Quill frowned and answered subconsciously, "Vivy won't misunderstand me."

Taken aback, she said. "She won't? Are you so sure? She trusts you that much?"

Of course. In Quill's heart, she was exceptionally reliant and trustworthy.

Although he did not make it clear, his expression spoke volumes. Yulia felt that there was no need to ask anymore. If she did, it would just deepen the pain in her heart.

"Fine, I'll take it as she won't misunderstand. She's very kind. She even brought food for me when I was in the hospital. Then, just take it as I'm worried about people misunderstanding. See ya."

Quill watched as she left, pondering. The door behind him opened, and he turned around to see Vera rubbing her eyes, standing there. "Are you done with your meeting? Why do I feel like I've slept for a long time? Did you just come back?"

Hearing her words, Quill was sure she didn't hear their conversation. She probably woke up on her own. Thus, he ruffled her hair and said, "Yes, I just finished my meeting. How was your sleep?"

Hearing his question, Vera felt a little

embarrassed as she felt she had

slept for a long time. Looking at Quill, she thought for a moment before embracing him in a daze, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I've slept for too long, haven't I?

What time is it?"

"Indeed," Quill thought, "You've slept from the moment you came." But Quill felt that it was better not to tell her. He ruffled the back of her head. "Are you hungry? Let's eat out, shall we?"

Eat out?

Stumped, Vera couldn't believe they were going to eat as soon as she woke up. She wasn't a pig. How could she do that?!

However, Quill's question awoke her appetite. She was starving.

She blinked, looking at Quill.

"I'm a little hungry. I wonder what time it is. Let me check..."

Bleary-eyed and being in his arms, Quill, who was initially indifferent, became rather turned on by her actions.

So when Vera wanted to take a look at the time, he pinched her chin lightly and leaned in to kiss her.
