Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1356

Vera sat idle in her restaurant the entire day.

That was because she kept screwing up. She'd either taken the wrong order or delivered the wrong food; she always ended up messing things up.

The staff couldn't stand it anymore, so they ushered her off to the private room on the second floor and let her rest.

After Vera sat down, she laid on the table as she spaced out.

She would touch her belly from time to time.

Why did something like this happen now?

If only she'd known earlier, she wouldn't be in such a mess right then.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She couldn't keep her eyes open as she hadn't slept all night, but wasn't sleepy at all. Jennifer's words echoed in her mind whenever she closed her eyes.

Yulia was Quill's fiancee while she was the homewrecker.

Hence, Vera didn't dare sleep, but due to her pregnancy and the countless late nights, her body eventually gave in.

In the end, Vera fell asleep laying on the table.

However, she had a nightmare.

In the dream, Yulia drove her to a corner and shouted sternly.

"I'm his fiancee. I should be the one by his side. You're nothing but a sl*t. Do you actually think that you can compete with me?"

Then, the employees of the Hanover Corporation mocked her mercilessly.

"Oh my God, how shameless. I can't believe she's a homewrecker. What's so great about being a mistress? How shameless."

"Yeah. Did she think she could win the president's heart by bringing food to him every day? She's basically useless; she'd be tossed aside sooner or later."

"That's why she's the mistress. Mistresses never have a happy ending."

"Ugh, you disgusting sl*t. Never come to the company! You make me sick."

In her dream, people who she'd met and never had accused her continuously with disgust.

Vera was forced backward by the vile comments, and she bumped into someone by accident.

Then, she looked up and happened to meet Quill's cold eyes.

He gazed at her viciously as he said the most ruthless words.

"Never cling to me ever again."

No, that was never her intention.

She wouldn't have done it at all if she knew he had a fiancee.

Vera shook her head in denial as she continued to retreat. Then, she slipped and tumbled down the stairs.

"Ahhh!"

Vera screamed as she awoke from her dream, her heart pounding like a jackhammer.

At the end of her dream, blood gushed out from between her legs, and her stomach ached terribly.

The dream was so vivid that she could feel her stomach aching.

Large amounts of sweat poured from her forehead and dripped onto the table. The door behind her opened as Vera was still trying to gather herself.

Then, Mabie ran up to her nervously and crouched down beside her.

"Vivy, what's wrong?"

Seeing her mother, Vera immediately withdrew her hand from her belly.

She took a few deep breaths before shaking her head as she said, "Mom, I'm fine..."

"You're telling me you're fine when you were screaming so loudly? Look at how much you're sweating..." Heartbroken, Mabie wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue. "I'm really okay," Vera said as she pushed her mother's hand away and laid back down on the table. "I just had a nightmare. Otherwise, I wouldn't have shouted at all."

After that, Vera took another deep breath and said, "Mom, I'm gonna head out."

Hearing that, Mabie immediately said, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Then, Vera shook her head. "I'm going somewhere far away. I want to... take a trip alone to gather my thoughts."

She couldn't stay here any longer. The entire city reminded her of Quill, so she wanted to leave for another city for a while. Perhaps she would be able to heal doing so.

"Are you planning to go out of town?" Mabie wasn't too keen on letting Vera leave. "Do you think I'd let you leave on your own looking like this?" "Why not?" Vera pulled her lips upwards into a weak smile. "I'm an adult now; I won't do anything stupid or get conned. I just want to get a breath of fresh air. So, don't worry. I'll be back once I'm no longer troubled. It's just that... I'll have to trouble you and Dad to help me take care of the restaurant. If you think it's troublesome, just close it temporarily."

She really did not have the energy to manage the restaurant.

Vera didn't really care if she failed to live up to Ernest's expectations. It didn't matter to her if he thought she was irresponsible.

Then, Vera closed her tired eyes.

She was decisive, so she immediately initiated her plan that day.

Hence, she started packing the moment she got home. However, to her surprise, Quill's car was outside of her house.

She had no idea how long Quill had waited for her.

However, she tried to run back home before he could notice her.

She didn't want to see nor speak to him at the moment.

However, Quill was faster than she ever could be. He managed to catch up with her and blocked her path.

Upset, Vera said, "Move. I don't want to talk to you."

Seeing how livid she was, he walked to her helplessly as he said with a gentle voice, "Can't we talk with equanimity?"

Talk?

About what?

Vera felt that Quill's words were ridiculous.

About how to be a mistress? Vera was extremely sensitive about the topic right then, and she felt nauseous upon thinking that she was the last person to know Yulia was Quill's fiancee.

"Mister, I made it very clear last night, didn't I? We're over, and there's no way we can be friends either. We're basically strangers, so why are you standing in my way? Please leave, or I'll call the police." Quill's eyebrows knitted into a deep frown.

He didn't expect Vera to be so ruthless. How deeply had he hurt Vera for her to act this way?

"Yesterday..."

"Stop; I don't want to hear it!" Vera covered her ears and shook her head. "No matter what you say, I don't want to hear it. Leave!"

She could still feel the contempt the people in her nightmare had for her, and their gaze suffocated her. Vera was certain she wouldn't be able to withstand the torment.

Agitated, Vera once again felt a jabbing pain in her belly, and she could only lean against the wall helplessly as her face turned pale.
