Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"It's still early. You can sleep a little longer if you're still feeling sleepy." Quill said.

Vera was indeed sleepy; she was so sleepy that she was in no mood to think about anything else. So she nodded and mumbled to herself before she laid back down after hearing his words.

"That's weird... I clearly heard someone knocking. Was I dreaming?" Quill didn't say anything.

When he turned around to glance at Vera, he was rendered speechless.

She was still talking to herself a second ago, but she had fallen asleep the next second.

Honestly, this girl...

Quill shook his head helplessly and tucked her in. There was not a trace of coldness which was in his eyes when he was facing Lauren earlier.

Quill knew she was single-minded, but little did he expect her to be so innocent as well. That woman...

As Vera had only fallen asleep in the wee hours, she fell back asleep as soon as her eyes closed; this slumber lasted until noon. In the meantime, Dimitri cknocking on the door; Quill left after telling him to postpone the activities.

When Vera woke up, she suddenly remembered she had slept in the sbed with Quill last night.

The room was quiet at that moment. She was the only one in the room.

Vera rubbed her eyes and fished for her phone in a daze.

Was it possible that Quill had booked another room while she was asleep, just like he did before? Vera checked to see if Quill had sent her any messages. But there was none.

He wasn't in the room, nor had he left any messages. Where had he gone? Vera suddenly thought of something. She quickly got out of bed without tidying herself up and ran next door barefoot.

She anxiously knocked on the door, and soon, Lauren opened it. She was surprised to see Vera. "Vera, you're awake?" Vera didn't say anything.

Lauren looked at her, panting, unable to speak.

She smiled softly. "Why are you in such a hurry?" Hearing her words, Vera was stunned. Yeah, why was she in such a hurry? Nothing seemed to have happened. However, Quill was not in the room, and he didn't leave a message. For sreason, the scene from last night replayed in Vera's mind. She didn't know if Lauren had done it on purpose; probably not. But she thought of it inexplicably.

Vera felt that she really liked to be jealous.

She shook her head and panted as she replied. "Nothing. I just suddenly thought about you as soon as I woke up Lauren, have you had breakfast?" Vera naturally started to walk into the room. Seeing that, Lauren deliberately blocked her way.

"Lauren?" Vera raised her head and looked at Lauren, confused.

Lauren's lips were red, and she looked at her, flushed. "Didn't you just wake up? Why don't you go and get ready? Aren't you guys going out later?" Vera was even more confused. "How did you know..." Lauren smiled embarrassingly as shyness arose on her face; she said, "Mr. Hanover told me." Vera didn't know what to say.

Vera felt as if she had been hit in the head harshly. She looked behind Lauren, but she moved, completely blocking her view, and held her shoulder, pushing her out. "Alright, what are you thinking about? Go and get ready quickly." Before Vera could react, Lauren had already closed the door.

After that, she leaned against the door and smiled coldly. Vera sure was stupid. Not only had she gone. to Lauren herself, but she was even fooled by her little trick and a few words.

What was so good about a young girl who didnt know anything? Maybe men liked them in the beginning, but gradually they would get bored. When Quill realized Ker true colors, he would naturally abandon her.

But before that, she naturally had to create more misunderstandings.

Lauren's smile widened at that thought. She was on cloud nine; she had completely forgotten who had saved her from her abusive husband and took her to the hospital later.

She was so used to biting the hand that fed her that she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Vera was baffled that Lauren had shut the door on her.

She didn't think much of it at first, but the more Lauren tried to cover it up, the more suspicious she became. She didn't know if it was imagining things, but she felt Lauren was behaving as if Quill was in her room. She also said... Quill told her they were going out later Was it true? She didn't dare to overthink, nor did she dare to jump to conclusions as she didn't want to wrongly blanyone.

Thus, Vera needed to stay and confirm something.

She didn't leave. Instead, she squatted by the door and messaged Quill.

"I'm awake. Where are you?" After sending the message, Vera waited patiently.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Half an hour had passed.

Normally, half an hour wasn't that long, but for Vera, it seemed like an entire century.

However, Vera wasn't anxious. She still squatted there quietly, waiting.

She didn't receive his messages, nor had he appeared. Her legs were starting to get a little numb afterm squatting for so long, so Vera decided to change into a different position. Just then, the sound of steady footsteps traveled in the corridor. Vera looked toward the direction of the sound.

With one glance, she saw the person whom she had missed so much.

Quill was carrying a bag in his hand. He saw a familiar figure squatting in the corridon only getting a better glimpse as he got closer. Vera's eyes lit up when she saw him. She didn't care if her legs were numb. She jumped up and ran toward him.

"You... Where have you been?" Vera glanced over his shoulder and asked, "Where did you cback from?"

She looked very nervous, and her questions were also strange. Quith was glanced at where she was squatting and thought of her questions. He soon figured out what had happened. "I went downstairs to buy something, and then I took the lift up. Did you think I was going to take the stairs?" He spoke with a hint of tease, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

Vera shook her head embarrassingly. "No, I was just... a little worried about you. You didn't even reply to my message." It had been half an hour! She had squatted outside for half an hour, but Vera was not in the least bit upset. Instead, she was elated! Because he confirmed her guess! X
