Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Her dark circles were obvious? Embarrassed at her question, Vera subconsciously touched her eyelids. "Is it that bad?" Yulia leaned in to take a closer look and said, "Yeah. Are you having trouble sleeping? Or is something bothering you?" Vera actually hadn't planned to tell anyone about it but seeing that Yulia was also a girl and that she knew Quill since they were young, she thought it wouldn't be a big deal to tell her. Thus, Vera let Yulia in on the plan.

Dumbfounded for a long time, Yulia finally questioned, "You... You want to celebrate Quill's birthday?" "Yeah." Vera nodded. "Originally, I wanted to get him something, but he already has everything. So I thought, why not I make him something significant." "Then do you know..." He never celebrated his birthday.

She almost blurted out, but just as she was about to say it, Yulia stopped.

Because the scene in the office surfaced in her mind.

The man she liked was kneeling in front of another woman with an affectionate gaze. It was unprecedented, let alone gazing at her like that! "Do I know what?" Yulia's pause piqued Vera's interest.

Yulia cto her senses and smiled at her. She played dumb and asked, "Ah, I mean, have you told anybody else this? "No..." "That's good." Yulia smiled and said, "It's your surprise for him after all. I was worried it would be ruined if you told too many people." "It won't. You are the only person who knows this. Oh, right, I also asked Ernest! I heard he grew up with you and Quill, right?" "E-Ernest? Lowell?" Hearing his name, Yulia grew uncertain. She hadn't expected Vera to tell him that. On the other hand, based on his friendship with Quill, how could he and Vera not have any interaction? However, she wondered why Ernest didn't tell Vera about the fact.

By right, he would definitely know Quill never celebrated his birthday.

"Yeah." "You already asked him?" "Yeah, is there a problem?" "No." Yulia cto her senses as she smiled, her eyes a little dim.

What was she thinking? How could she think Vera wouldn't know it? Although it was surprising for Vera to know, it was impossible Ernest didn't. If he also agreed to Vera's gesture to celebrate Quill's birthday, maybe she had cured his habit of not celebrating it.

After all, she was his love. That was right...

What on earth was she fantasizing about? Yulia felt that she had changed into a terrible person. She actually thought of using Vera's ignorance to provoke Quill and lead them to break up.

By then... She could....

At that, Yulia quickly shooed her thoughts away.

"I understand how much you want to celebrate his birthday, but you need to look after yourself too. It would be terrible if you fall sick before his birthday." Yulia poured Vera a drink as she said gently, "Your dark circles are bad. You must be exhausted. Isn't Quill concerned?" "Oh, I'm good. I've managed to make it up with a long nap in his office in the afternoon. You're close with him, aren't you? Please keep this a secret for me." Yulia eyes showed a hint of helplessness as she nodded.

"There's no way I can tell him, can I?" "Thank you!" The girls bid farewell and left after their meal.

After Vera got into the car, Yulia stood rooted to the ground and looked thoughtfully in the direction Vera left.

If Quill was really willing to celebrate his birthday for Vera, then... her chance of being with him would be fruitless.

Thinking of this, Yulia closed her eyes.

Give up; just give up.

"You would already have long been with him if it was possible. Why wait until now? He never liked you in the past, let alone now." She thought.

"Yulia Maxwell, what are you daydreaming about? Wake up, wake up!" Suddenly, Yulia opened her eyes. However, there was still no clarity in them.

Perhaps she would never be able to move on from this ever.

Tflew, and Vera was done folding all the paper cranes, just in tfor Quill's birthday the next day.

Not not only had she managed to velget the gift ready, but she also managed to get her maternity check-up done so that she could surprise him with it the new 9 She wondered how he would react.

Vera went to bed with unlimited excitement.

That night, she had a dream.

In her dream, Quill proposed to her right after seeing the report. Vera was so happy that she shed tears and said yes.

When she woke up, the corners of her eyes were wet.

However, for sreason, Vera suddenly felt very sad.

She sat up and wiped away the tears.

It was such a beautiful dream; Quill even proposed to her, but why was e stre so sad? Vera didn't know what was wrong with her. It took her a long tbefore she managed to compose herself. After that, she slipped out of bed and got changed. It was only until she saw the presents and report on the table that she felt a hint of warmth.

Maybe she had let her imaginations run wild the previous night, which caused her to feel so sad.

Vera took a deep breath and got dressed up before leaving.

She had booked a table at a restaurant and even got a cake, red wine, candles, and everything she could think of.

Although the guys would do it traditionally, Vera did not care about it. Since they were already fogether, it didn't matter who did it. What mattered the most was who and what she was doing with. Vera booked a small private room. By the tshe got there, the staff told her the room was ready.

"Miss lais, your boyfriend is so lucky.

I've been working here for so long but this is is the first tI've seen a girlfriend take the initiative prepare a surprise for her boyfriend." Another staff member said, "Yeah, Miss lais, your boyfriend is so lucky to find such a caring girlfriend like you."

"But..." A novice staff member said with shesitation, "Miss-laism won't you be putting yourself in a lower position by doing this?" X
