Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1179

"Accompanying Mr. Lowell?" There was a slight change in Quill's eyes. It seemed that Ernest was bored to death; he deliberately came over and waited for so long just to have a meal. Not only that, he even called him over as well.

"Do you want me to bring you upstairs?"

Mabie's words pulled Quill back to reality. He smiled politely and said faintly, "Thank you for the offer, Auntie. I can go up by myself. I rushed over today, so I didn't prepare anything. I'll visit you some other time."

His tone was indifferent, but Mabie did not think there was anything wrong at all. After all, he was an outstanding man, yet he was willing to come over to look for her daughter again and again. Although Vera ignored him for an entire day, he remained his cool.

He also did not try to flatter Mabie only because she was Vera's mother, and Mabie was indeed satisfied with that.

She didn't care how good the man's attitude was toward herself and David, as long as he treated their daughter sincerely.

"What are you talking about? It's good enough that you're here. You don't have to visit us purposely. Alright, why don't you head up first."

Quill smiled faintly and said gently, "Thank you, Auntie."

After Quill went upstairs, Mabie kept thinking that something was amiss. It took her a long time to finally realize what the problem was.

When she said that Vera was with Mr. Lowell upstairs, she unconsciously blurted it out. However, Quill did not ask who Mr. Lowell was. Could it be that he knew who he was? Did the two of them actually know each other?

Vera would have just brought Ernest his pasta and left at ordinary times. But she felt a little embarrassed at the fact that he waited for her for so long, and they were on a first-name basis after, so Vera felt that they weren't that distant anymore.

At least they were slightly closer now, so she just sat there and accompanied Ernest for his meal.

Seeing Vera sitting upright in front of him, Ernest recalled the times his wife was still alive. She was around his age, so when she passed, they were around Vera's age.

However, his wife was not as well-behaved as Vera. She was always playful and mischievous, and she couldn't sit still even when they were having a meal. She would always fool around with him, sometimes asking him to feed her, and she would feed him as well. They were always clingy after they confirmed their relationship.

Ernest knew that others gossiped that they wouldn't last long as they were too clingy, but they never broke up. Later on, they got married, and their relationship became even better after marriage, unfortunately...

Fate was indeed fair.

Probably because they had used up all the clinginess in that life in advance, that was why God decided to bring his beautiful wife back.

"Ernest?"

Ernest thought he heard someone calling him. When he came to his senses, he saw Vera's palm waving in front of him. Realizing he was lost in thought, Ernest smiled and said, "Sorry, I would subconsciously think of my wife every time I sit here."

Vera's hand stopped her action. It took her a while before she slowly withdrew it. She said nervously, "S-sorry..."

He thought of his wife again. He was probably dejected, wasn't he? When Vera saw that he sat motionlessly and his eyes were empty as if he had fallen into his memories, she called out to him as she got worried.

"It's alright." Ernest lowered his head and took a mouthful. The bitter taste instantly spread from the end of his tongue and filled his entire mouth; it felt the same as when he thought of his wife in the middle of the night.

"I'm used to living such a life."

Vera really didn't know how to comfort others, nor did she have much experience with it. She could only stammer as she said, "Ernest, don't be sad. Since you're my older brother now, feel free to come over whenever you miss your wife. I'll cook for you. I'll never allow other customers to enter this room either; I'll leave it only for you."

Her words were so sincere that Ernest couldn't help but laugh.

"I've never expected myself to get a younger sister after Quill dated a girl. Not bad."This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

It would be fine if he didn't say it out loud, but every time he mentioned Quill, Vera still couldn't stop herself from blushing.

Just as she was about to say something, Vera suddenly heard footsteps coming from the outside. She frowned slightly, "Is it that someone wants to come over?"

She had already made it clear that this was not open to other customers. Why would someone still come over? Hearing that, Ernest took a glance at his wristwatch. It seemed that it was almost time; he should arrive.

As he thought about it, he said in a low voice, "It should be someone you know."

Someone she knew?

Vera felt puzzled upon hearing Ernest's words. She was somewhat confused, so she got up and opened the door.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

The moment their eyes met, Vera froze on the spot.

Quill?

Why had he come all of a sudden? They had just parted not long ago. Why did they meet again?

"Hey, you're quite fast. A few minutes earlier than I expected."

Vera still stood there dumbfounded while Ernest, who was behind her, had already spoken as he smiled.

Quill's gaze brushed past Vera and landed on Ernest.

Vera tilted her body slightly. So did

Quill come to look for Ernest? She paused before saying, "You two have something to talk about, don't you? I'll go downstairs first then

After that, Vera passed by Quill. When she was about to leave, Quill suddenly grabbed her wrist, and she lifted her head to look at him in surprise.

"What are you going downstairs for? It's not like you're not allowed to listen."

Ernest looked at whatever was happening before his eyes, as if he was watching an interesting movie, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"But..." Vera still wanted to say something else, but Quill had already pulled her in and made her sit down.

She wanted to leave at first, but now she could only sit beside Quill with her hands placed neatly on her leg, looking obedient.

One looked mature and calm, and the other looked as well-behaved as a schoolgirl.

"Do you have something to tell me that you suddenly come over?" Ernest looked at Quill and asked with a faint smile, his eyes darting back and forth between Vera and Quill.

Vera seemed restricted when she

was with him, he thought that it would be better if Quill came. But now he found that it wasn't the case. Ernest looked at how Vera behaved sitting beside Quill; she looked so nervous that she didn't dare move

an inch.

With that thought, Ernest reminded just in time.

"Say, Quill, do you always put on a straight face when facing her? Why does she look so nervous and afraid in front of you?"

Hearing that, Vera took a deep

breath. Why did he bring that up

again? In fact, she had already changed a lot. She was even more afraid of Quill before that, but since he pressed her against the wall and kissed her, she had started getting used to him.
