Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1387

They still had that bit of friendship from their childhood in the beginning.

However, since the fiancee incident, their friendship vanished along with it.

Quill did not want her to be close to him.

As the thought crossed her mind, Yulia closed her eyes in pain, but her tone was flat. "You're right. I didn't think it through. Sorry for bothering you."

The call ended, and Quill put his phone away.

As he walked over, Vera took a subconscious glance at him.

"Who was it?"

"Yulia."

Vera was stunned. Yulia? Why did she call him?

Could it be that she hadn't given up yet? Was she planning on doing something?

Seeing his girl stare at him with a quizzical look, he couldn't help smiling as he ruffled her hair.

"Just ask if you want to."

Vera swatted his hand away discontentedly. "I'm sorry, shouldn't you report to me of your own accord?"

Report?

Taken aback, it was the first time he heard her say so, and he suddenly felt as if he was being watched over. However, it wasn't repulsive but warm and secure.

As if he finally had a family of his own.

With that thought, Quill took a few steps forward and wrapped his arms around her neck.

Vera was startled by his sudden approach and stared at him, wide-eyed.

She could feel Quill's warm hand gently rubbing the back of her neck. He leaned his forehead close to hers and said in a hoarse voice, "She called to say something had happened in her company. I told her to sort it out herself."

Hearing that, Vera blinked and suddenly realized he was actually reporting to her.

She was at a loss for words for a moment before she finally said, "I-1 was just saying... Why are you..."

Quill chuckled and said, "Didn't you ask me to report to you? Why don't you just agree to my proposal already? That way, you have a valid reason to keep a watchful eye on me. Hmm?"

"Who wants to do that?! Dream on!" Vera shoved him aside and walked further in.

It was then that the manager finally came to them.

The manager immediately greeted Quill when they saw him.

"Mr. Hanover."

"Mm."

The manager followed Quill's gaze to replace a young lady looking at the wedding dresses, then they flashed a bright smile and said, "This must be Mrs. Hanover."

Mrs. Hanover...

Vera's face flushed at the manager's address and felt buzzing.

Never in her life had she thought she would one day become Mrs. Hanover.

Quill's woman.

Vera was already on cloud nine, but she didn't let it show.

Quill nodded and said, "Please show us some of your couture dresses."

"

"Of course, Mr. Hanover. They're all inside; if you'll please follow me, Mr. and Mrs. Hanover."

As they followed the manager in, the word "Mrs. Hanover" kept echoing in Vera's mind.

Demitri from the travel agency had addressed her so before, but it was significantly different this

time.

Hence her mindset was completely different in these two instances.

As she walked, she asked, "Are we not going to choose from the designs outside? I think they're already quite good."

Quill took her hand and said with doting eyes, "Silly girl, you'll love these even more."

"Oh."

It was only after she saw the couture wedding gowns that she realized Quill was right. Although the gowns outside were already lovely, the couture dresses were even more stunning. The wedding-gown-filled room felt exquisitely dreamy, and Vera found it surreal.

To make sure she wasn't dreaming, she pinched herself, and the pain made her grimace.

It was all real.

"Mrs. Hanover, these are all our

couture wedding dresses, but they're

fel

just muslins. You can have a look first, and we'll get our designer to tailor the style of your choice, or you can work with our designers to design one."

There were already muslins?

All Vera heard was how expensive the dresses were. Then again, she would only ever get married once, so it didn't matter if it was expensive.

Hence, she took her time choosing while Quill stayed by her side.

However, Quill's phone rang again not too long after.

This time, his brows knitted together after answering the call.

Vera wanted to ask for his opinion on a style she was fond of when she noticed he was frowning with his phone in his hand.

She could immediately tell something was amiss, so she walked over to him and asked.

"What is it?"

Quill pursed his lips and stared at her for a long time before he said, "I may need to go to the hospital."

"Huh?" Vera was at a loss for a moment but said hurriedly after some thought, "Are you not feeling well? Why do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No," Quill denied. "It was a call from Yulia. Something went wrong at her company, then people started fighting and even got hurt."

Vera was shocked by the sudden

news and understood Quill's intention from his gaze. Although she felt a little bitter, she still smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go! I'll be..."

Before she could finish her words, Quill held her by her waist.

"Come with me."

Stunned, she looked at him and thought, "Go with him?"

"Should I really?"

She asked suspiciously.

"You're soon-to-be Mrs. Hanover. What's wrong with you following?"

"But..." Vera was a little hesitant.

"Can you rest assured if you stay here? That woman covets your man, and you're okay with me going alone?"

Speechless, Vera didn't expect him

to say such a thing. But she realized something from his words; how had things come to this when it was fine before? She was the daughter of a prestigious family; no way she was unable to handle such a situation.

Was she planning to ask for Quill's help if she couldn't sort out the situation herself every single time?

As the thought crossed her mind, Vera realized perhaps Yulia still hadn't given up on him.

She wasn't surprised. There was no way anyone would give up so willingly.

She should've known from the time Yulia flaunted at her as in the front passenger seat.

Thinking of this, Vera nodded hard and said, "You are right. I can't let others covet you. Then I'll follow you and keep an eye on you."

"Alright."

"Then the dress..."

"We'll come back after we've settled the issue. We still have time."

"Okay."

Originally, Vera thought he would leave her alone in the boutique, but to her surprise, he asked her to follow him, and with that, she didn't refuse.

Then she could have a look at Yulia's injury and if she was truly able to be ruthless to herself.

As reality had it, Yulia was truly capable of doing so.

Because she was badly injured.
