Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1348

Put herself in a lower position?

It had never crossed Vera's mind.

Shaking her head, she answered, "I don't think so. I don't think it is necessary to stress on who pays more effort in a relationship.' That was what she thought.

The other staff members also nodded. "Yeah, as long as a couple is truly in love with each other, who cares who pays more effort?" "Yeah, it's the thought that counts."

The novice staff didn't quite agree with the crowd. However, seeing how happy Vera was, they thought they should just keep quiet. Everyone ecstatically finished the preparations for Vera.

Seeing the staff was wrapping up, Vera decided to go to Quill's company.

She planned to visit Quill as per usual and wait for him to finish work. Then she'd suggest eating at the restaurant she booked to surprise him. Thus, she went to the office as usual.

When she was heading upstairs, she bumped into

Yulia.

She was heading out to get some documents done. Seeing Vera, she recalled what day it was and immediately understood why she was there.

"Are you going to celebrate his birthday today? Everything ready?" Yulia asked casually.

Vera nodded. "Yup, everything is ready."

"That's good."

"Oh, right, do you want to join us tonight?"

Join them?

Hearing that, Yulia became a little absent-minded. To put it nicely, she'd be there to celebrate his birthday, but in fact, she'd only be there to see the man she liked being with another woman. She'd only be torturing herself if she went.

Thinking of this, Yulia shook her head. "No, thanks. I have something going on tonight."

Seeing she wasn't in the mood, Vera did not insist. "All right. I'll go look for him first."

"Hold up." Looking at her back, Yulia couldn't help stopping her.

"What's up?"

Vera turned her head and looked at her in confusion.

Looking at Vera, Yulia hesitated to speak. In fact, she was conflicted. She wanted to know badly if Quill had really broken his habit of not celebrating his birthdays. But she was afraid of not receiving the answer she wanted. By then...

At that thought, Yulia took a deep breath and walked to Vera to fix her hair.

"Your hair's a little messy."

In the end, she did not say it out loud.

"Ah, thanks." Vera did not notice anything fishy but even thanked her.

"Go on. All the best."

Yulia stood unmoved as her gaze grew colder, watching Vera leave.

She had wanted to hint at Vera, but what did it have to do with her? So what if she knew he never celebrated his birthdays? As his girlfriend, if Vera wasn't aware of this, then it had nothing to do with her.

No matter what, her hands were clean from the beginning to the end. Even if something really happened between them, she would not be held accountable.

Thus, she couldn't be considered despicable. She merely kept herself out of the affair.

With that thought, Yulia left with satisfaction.

However, she did not notice Jennifer had seen everything. She was fearful as she knew Yulia wasn't someone easy to deal with. Her gaze that day had given Jennifer the fright of her life; she even had a nightmare that night. . Narugi.com

From then onward, she dared not actively provoke Yulia anymore.

When Jennifer saw how friendly she was with Vera and even fixing her hair with a gentle smile on her face, Jennifer felt the hair on the back of her neck stand, recalling Yulia's gaze. What a phenomenon it was to see the fiancee and the girlfriend being so chummy.

Jennifer even doubted if Vera knew of Yulia's identity as Quill's fiancee. Flustered, she had wanted to stand by Yulia, but she dared not get close to her after that day.

Upon seeing Vera foolishly standing in front of Yulia, talking and laughing, she actually felt sorry for Vera.

After all, the pasta at her restaurant was delectable. If she lost to Yulia, would she decide not to run her pasta restaurant out of misery?

After some thought, Jennifer suddenly wondered if she should tell Vera about this.

However, when she wanted to go to Vera, she had already gone up to Quill's office. So Jennifer could only wait for her to come down to tell her about Yulia's past engagement with Quill.

To Jennifer's dismay, Vera came down with Quill that day, so she had zero chances of taking to Vera.

And Vera also wouldn't notice it as she left with Quill.

Jennifer decided to leave things be when she still didn't get the chance to talk to Vera in private after waiting for a day. After all, there would be other opportunities; she'd just have to wait for the next day.

ver, that day would nev

come.

Of course, that was a story for later.

After leaving the building with Quill, Vera sneaked a peek at him when they got in his car.

She wondered if she had imagined it, but Quill was in a terrible mood that day.

Vera was not sure if she was reading too much into it, so she took the initiative to ask him.

"Are you upset?"

Quill was instantly in a better mood when he heard Vera's question. Moreover, she was looking at him with a careful gaze, worried that he was actually upset. He reached out to ruffle her hair. "What are you thinking about? I'm not upset, just thinking about something."

"Oh." Vera rest assured after confirming he wasn't upset.

It was Quill's birthday that day. If he was upset, she would have to consider her questions. However, seeing the affection and gentleness in his eyes, Vera felt that she must have overthought. After all, she had cried when she woke up that morning, so her mood was badly affected. In the end, she had to readjust herself.

"You refused when I asked you out for dinner the other day. Why now?" Quill asked casually.

Vera replied with a smile, "We haven't eaten together for a long time, haven't we? So I want to spend some time with you."

As she leaned against his shoulder, Quill noticed Vera's dark circles were very obvious lately, and she didn't look so good.

"What have you been doing

recently?" His sudden question startled her. She thought he had found out her plan, so she hurriedly explained, "Nothing, really. It's just that I've been staying up a little later than usual." "To do what?"
