Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera spent half an hour in the shower before she finally felt she was clean.

When she cout from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Mabie was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone while wiping her tears.

"I didn't expect this to happen either. David is really unfortunate. He's still in the ICU. The doctor said he has to be hospitalized for 48 hours for observation..." Mabie cried as she spoke. When she saw Vera cout of the bathroom in the corner of her eyes, she said in a hurry, "Alright, I need to go. I'm going to hang up now." Then, she hung up the phone, wiped her tears away, and walked towards Vera. She stood in front of her and scrutinized her.

Her sadness had completely disappeared from her face.

Vera did not find it strange nor did she think that her mother was not concerned about her father. She cried because she was genuinely sad but now, she did not want to ruin the mood when spending her twith Vera.

Her mother had always been clear about what to love or hate.

One moment she could be gloomy, the next moment, she could be cheerful.

Mabie had taught this to Vera from a very young age. She did not expect that... she would fall for a man deeply in the end.

Of course, Vera did not dare to tell these things to her mother. If she told her, she was sure that she would laugh at her.

"You look much better. What was that just now? The old gatekeeper downstairs would think that I was kind enough to let a beggar into my house." Vera felt helpless hearing her mother's words. "Mom, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you please stop insultingnow that I'm here?" Mabie blinked innocently. "What? I've never said anything hurtful to you over the phone. We haven't seen each other in so many years. Are you upset because I criticized you for a bit?" "Not at all!" Vera made her way back to her old room. When she opened the closet to pick out sclothes to wear, she nearly fainted when she saw the selection.

The clothes that she thought were fashionable and beautiful five years ago now all looked extremely childish. Vera was speechless in an instant. She slammed the closet shut.

When Mabie saw this scene, she could not help but roast her daughter, "What are you doing? Why aren't you putting on sclothes? Are you planning on walking out of this house naked?" After finishing her words, Mabie realised that her daughter was staring right at her. She felt a little uneasy and asked, "Why are you staring at me?" "Mom, I think your clothes look better than my old clothes. Can I borrow your clothes to wear?" "What is wrong with you? Why would you want to wear an old lady's clothes?" "What do you mean by an old lady?" Vera was at a loss for words and rolled her eyes. Her mother wasn't as old as she said. Instead, she looked ageless and liked to pretend that she was young. Therefore, her clothes were rather fashionable, though it was a little different from Vera's usual style.

Nevertheless, Vera felt that her mother's clothes were a much better option compared to what she had in the closet.

Moreover, she had already decided that she was going to turn over a new leaf from that day onwards. She would no longer get upset over a man nor even shed a single drop of tear.

If she ever got upset or cried over a man again, she would be the ugliest and fattest pig in the entire world! The first step she was going to take was to change the way she dressed. She had to abandon all her childish clothing. She wanted to be a woman with both a mature mind and a mature appearance! "Mom, can you please lendsof your clothes? I don't want to wear my old clothes." After that, Vera held Mabie's arm and tried to use her charm to persuade her.

"Fine, go. You're going to look much older when you wear my clothes. People would think that you're already married. How are you suppose to find a man to marry in the future?" Mabie suddenly thought of something when the topic of marriage cup. She looked at her daughter, who was holding her arms, with suspicion and asked, "By the way, you've been abroad for five years. When did you cback? How long have you been back? Why didn't you tell me? You must have a boyfriend, don't you? What does he look like? When are you going to introduce him to me?" When her mother brought up her love life, the emotions under Vera's eyes stirred. Then she avoided Mabie's gaze and said with a chuckle, "Mom, you have too questions. I don't know where y start. I'm going to put on sclothes now, I'll tell you about what happened towhen I'm free." Vera was her daughter after all, how could Mabie not see through her thoughts? Her daughter looked as if she was hiding something from her, not to mention her bedraggled appearance when she first showed up. Mabie felt that she discovered a secret.

She looked at her daughter and asked, "Vera, were you dumped?" As soon as she finished her words, Vera immediately jumped up as if she had been caught, and cried out, "Mom, what are you talking about? Who was dumped? You have such a beautiful daughter. Who would possibly dump me?" Mabie knew Vera very well. So when she saw how strongly she reacted, she said, "You have definitely been dumped." "Mom! I wasn't dumped!" "What does he look like? Is he good-looking? How long have you two been together? Why did you break up?" "Mom!"

Mabie's gaze fixed at her and they stared at each other for a long tbefore Vera finally gave in. She sat down on the bed dejectedly and said, "hte's handsome. We never got together, let alone breaking up. "Hmm?" Mabie quickly processed her words and walked over to Vera. She sat down beside her and asked, "You failed to capture his heart? Then why are you so dejected?" Vera's expression was gloomy. It was clear that she did not want to talk about it.

"Mom, please don't force me. I have already decided not to talk about this matter. From now on, will forget that person. I'm going to turn over a new leaf." When Mabie saw the determination in her daughter's eyes, she knew that she would be rubbing salt in her wound if she kept pursuing this matter. So she only nodded and ne said, Alright then. It's fine if you don't want to tell me. I'll let you sort out this matter on your own. You can tellwhenever you're ready." After hearing Mabie's words, Vera looked at her as if she was looking at a monster. She muttered, "I'm really not used to you being so gentle." "You d*mned girl! I am the one who is not used to seeing you like this!" Mabie slapped the back of Vera's head as she said this. Vera rubbed her head and howled, "Mom, can you stop hitting my head like this? What happens if you givebrain damage?"

"It's better that way. I've been asking you to chfor so many years yet you always refused. Feels like we've raised a good-for-nothing for En so many years..." "Alright, alright. I'm hnow, aren't I? Don't worry. When Dad wakes up, I'll kneel in front of his bed and apologize, okay?" There was no way she would actually apologize, let alone kneel to her father.

|| However, she really hoped that her father could wake up, otherwise... she would definitely hate herself! For so many years, she had never gave in, not once.
