Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1385

Yulia was despondent when she left Quill's office.

With the proposal in her hand, she didn't even look where she was going. She didn't even realize how many times the elevator had climbed or opened and closed as all that was in her mind was Quill's invitation to his wedding.

Why? Why so soon?

She had already promised to revive the Maxwell family. Couldn't he give her some time? Hadn't they been dating for only a short while? How had he already proposed?

Yulia's mind was in a mess. Recalling the hostility in Vera's eyes that day, she felt suffocated. How did it come to this?

What was she to do if they actually got married? What was there left for her to hope for?

Lately, the employees in Vera's restaurant had been envious of her love life when they saw the diamond ring on her finger.

Moreover, the guests who often patronized the restaurant couldn't help asking when they saw the diamond ring on her finger as she served them.

And she couldn't help blushing and giggling every time.

A few of the employees were laughing and discussing among themselves.

"Did you guys notice? Ever since Vera wore the diamond ring, she had become more and more beautiful. It's said that love can nourish a woman and make her more beautiful. I didn't believe it before, but I do now! Vera has been glowing recently."

"Oh, the diamond ring is so big and sparkly. I'm so jealous. Not only that, her boyfriend is a dreamboat. I heard he's the president of a company. She's so lucky!"

"Well, stop it. I'm jealous too. Call me the green-eyed monster."

"If you guys keep this up, I'll dock your wages."

When Vera came in, she heard them discussing her love life, so she deliberately deepened her voice and scolded them to scare them.

However, they had been working in the restaurant for a long time, so they knew Vera was easy-going, and she wouldn't actually dock their wages.

So they were not afraid of Vera but even teased her.

"Vera, a woman in love, shouldn't have such a bad temper. Besides, are you willing to actually dock our wages? We all wish you the very best." "Yeah. By the way, Vera, since you already have the ring, your wedding would be just around the corner, wouldn't it? When is it? Can we all take a break and attend?"

Well, although they hadn't had plans for the wedding, Vera still nodded and said, "Of course. I'll let you guys know when the date is set. I'll give you guys three days off and an invitation to the wedding. How about that?"

"Hooray!"

"Thank you, Vera!"

They cheered, then worked even harder.

It wasn't until a few days later that Minerva learned Vera had been proposed to. She had gone to her restaurant as she had been worried about what happened the last time, and Vera hadn't contacted her in a while.

When she saw Minerva, Vera immediately felt guilty.

However, Minerva continued to narrow her eyes as she saw the diamond ring in her hand.

"Fine, keep me in the dark. Am I, a sister and a best friend, not allowed to know at all?"

Vera quickly grabbed her hand and tried to say something to make up for it.

"No, no. I just didn't get a chance to tell you. I forgot."

"Oh." Minerva said, stony-faced, "Is this what they call forsaking one's friends after they have a lover? You're going to cast me aside after you managed to capture my brother's heart?" "Minerva!" Vera called to her hurriedly, "Stop it. Besides, you'd constantly neglect me when you were dating Mr. Yardley."

Hearing that, Minerva raised her eyebrows. "So you're deliberately retaliating?"

Vera didn't know what to say. Minerva smiled and stopped teasing her when she saw how anxious Vera was.

"Alright, I'm just joking. Is this necessary? How did you become like this? Has Quill been spoiling you?"

Blushed, Vera did not answer.

Rather, Jelly Bean, who was in Minerva's arms, giggled and waved her little hands around wildly.

With that, Vera's attention was now all on Jelly Bean. She was already several months old. With her brilliant eyes on Vera, she started giggling for no apparent reason after a while. en.swhovels.net

"This child." Minerva shook her head helplessly. "I keep having the feeling that Beanie had taken all the intelligence to himself, leaving his baby sister

a fool."

Vera took Jelly Bean into her arms,

and the baby girl behaved like an angel too. She hit Vera's chest with her fair little fists, and Vera's heart instantly melted into a puddle. en.swhovels.net

How could she be so cute? She'd love to have a daughter too.

But then again, Beanie was adorable as well. Hence, she also wanted to have a son.

After some thought, Vera wanted to be like Minerva. She wanted to have a son first and then a daughter so that the older brother could look after his sister. She thought it was a wonderful idea.

Vera had decided so. However, she had completely forgotten the gender of the baby was something beyond her control.

When Minerva noticed how motherly Vera looked while holding Jelly Bean, she couldn't help teasing.

"Since you like Jelly Bean so much, marry my brother ASAP and have a child of your own."

Surprised, Vera coughed a few times and said, "I'll play it by ear. I'm still expecting anyway, so let me hold your Jelly Bean." "If you keep stalling, it'll be too late."

Minerva looked at her in amusement and reminded her.

After all, Vera was already pregnant when she accompanied her to the hospital, and more than half a

month had passed since then. If she didn't hold a wedding soon, he belly

would be obvious under the wedding gown.

Vera blushed and said, "Say no more, either way, I'll play it by ear. If I really can't fit into a wedding gown, then worse comes to worst, I don't hold a wedding." "Don't tell me you haven't told him about your pregnancy."

Vera nodded.

"Why not?"

"1-1 haven't found the right time."

"It's already been so long, yet you haven't found the right time? When do you think will be a good time then?"

Vera was a little anxious. She wanted to know too. She had wanted to tell Quill on his birthday, but who would've thought he never celebrated his birthdays. Moreover, there hadn't been a right timing lately, and she had become mawkish for some reason.

She had wanted to tell him during the special occasion, but it ended with a failure, and now, she suddenly found it weird to say it.

"Alas, you should have told him the day you got the results instead of dragging until now. You replace it hard to tell him, don't you? Do you want me to tell him instead?"

"No, don't!" Vera stopped her. "You can't do that. I'll replace a chance to tell him myself."

"Then hurry up. Have you guys decided on a wedding date yet?"
