Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1182

Minerva felt hopeless.

Vera felt awkward as she didn't know things would end up that way. She was already suffocating from Maddox's presence in the room. Now that Quill was there, Vera felt as if she couldn't breathe at all.

All of a sudden, Minerva spoke.

"Can we make a deal? Can you two leave?"

Maddox didn't speak.

Neither did Quill.

After a while, Quill asked faintly, "What's wrong?"NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Vera met his eyes and quickly shifted her gaze away, pretending that she didn't notice it. She let Minerva answer his question, "We want to chat for a bit. Can't you two go out and talk?"

"No." Before Quill could say anything, Maddox had already rejected Minerva's request. He fixed his gaze on Minerva as if he didn't mind the tiredness in his eyes at all, "I need to keep an eye on you."

The doctor had already warned that the baby could come within these two days, and her family must stay by her side at all times, just in case. Maddox had survived for a long while, so he couldn't slack off these two days.

Vera felt that Maddox would definitely not leave just by listening to their conversation. He would probably stay by Minerva's side until she delivered. After thinking about it, Vera asked tentatively, "Why don't I visit you tomorrow?"

Minerva looked at her resentfully, and Vera suddenly felt guilty. She really wanted to accompany Minerva. If Maddox wasn't there, she could even stay with her for the night. Although she was close with Minerva, she was still quite afraid of Maddox.

Just when Vera was about to say something else, Quill opened his mouth at that time.

"Actually, you don't have to keep such a close eye on Minerva. Giving birth isn't such a horrifying thing. Besides, isn't she only due in another two days? It would still be fine if you stay by her side when she delivers."

Maddox sneered when he heard Quill's words as he didn't agree with him at all.

"Let's see if you can discuss this calmly with me when your wife is due."

All it took was one refute to shut Quill up.

Quill was speechless upon hearing that.

Vera, who was at the side, was speechless as well.

Minerva said in a somewhat despairing voice, "Forget it. You both should head back first."

Vera hurriedly stood up and said, "Alright then, I'll take my leave first. I'll come back to visit you in two days."

"Can't you at least put on a show? I just said it, and you're already so eager to leave. We're not friends anymore!" Minerva looked at Vera and declared in a heart-wrenching tone.

"Alright! We're not friends for these two days. We'll make up after you've given birth!" Vera patted Minerva's cheek with a grin and said softly, "I'll come over after the baby's born."

Vera and Quill then left together. After they left the villa, Vera finally heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Quill; it was obvious that she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare say it out loud.

Finally, she couldn't help saying, "Mr. Yardley is watching over Minerva too closely. He can't even rest assured when I'm there."

"Although it's not his first time being a father, it's his first time facing labor, after all. So, it's quite normal." Quill answered her question faintly.

"Is that normal?" Vera was a little confused and said, "Do all men act like this when they are faced with being a father for the first time or labor?" Quill paused when he heard that. A moment later, he pursed his lips and asked, "Are you asking me?"

Umm...

"In theory, 80% of men would behave like that, but I'm not sure if I'm one of them or if I'd be in the remaining 20. Or, if you want to find out, you can try."

"Try?" Vera asked unconsciously.

After saying that, only then she realized what Quill had meant. Her fair cheeks instantly turned red as she looked at Quill for a long time and said, "Shameless!"

He was actually teasing her!

Quill had already guessed that Vera would give him such a dramatic reaction. The smile on his lips widened, and even his dark eyes were filled with a warm tone.

"How am I shameless? Aren't you the one asking the question? I'm just giving you a practical answer."

What nonsense!

What sort of practical answer was that? He was obviously just trying to tease her!

Vera puffed her cheeks in anger, but she felt slightly sweet deep down. Did that mean that Quill wanted to be with her for long? Did he want to get married and have kids with her?

For some reason, the more she thought about it, the redder her face became, and her ears were getting hotter and hotter. She quickly rolled down the car window to let some wind in.

"You're hot?" However, Quill still wasn't going to stop, and he actually asked again, "Do you want to turn the air conditioner on?"

Vera was speechless, "There's no need, thank you."

Could that man be any more flirty? Honestly! He was too much!

Vera complained loudly in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't dare to make a sound.

After a while, the car stopped in front of a traffic light. The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward, and Vera kept looking out of the window without saying a word.

Quill cast a sidelong glance at her and saw that Vera was leaning against the window with her lips pouted, showing a look like she didn't want to talk to him at all.

He couldn't help but want to tease her even more.

"Who was the one who sent me a message and asked me to go over?"

After hearing his words, Vera was stunned for a moment and secretly looked over at Quill, only to find that Quill was staring right at her.

"Now that I'm here, are you going to ignore me?" Vera said, "Since when did I ignore you? Weren't you driving? I didn't want you to be distracted." "We're now at a red light." Quill reminded her.

Vera nodded, "I know."

It wouldn't take long for the red light.

seconds left. He spoke again. Vera replied, "What can you do in 25 seconds" She looked at Quill quizzically. She didn't understand why he would suddenly remind her of the time. When she raised her head and looked into his eyes, she found that there was a faint smile and other emotions in them.

Not knowing why, Vera's face suddenly went hot again, "You... Don't you even dare!"

"Hmm?"

"You're thinking of doing it in front of a red light? It's too dangerous. No way!"

Quill narrowed his eyes, "Do what?"

He seemed to be a little confused.

After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized what Vera was referring to and could not help but laugh, "You said that you didn't want to distract me when I was driving. I'm just reminding you that there are 25 seconds left for you to talk to me. How did it turn to me wanting to do 'that' with you? Or perhaps, you want it?"

When he said the last few words, Quill deliberately slowed down, and his tone changed. The atmosphere in the car suddenly turned different.

Vera was dumbfounded and looked at him in a daze.

She had shot herself in the foot, hadn't she?

"Mm, it seems that you really want to do it, but it's not convenient now. Let's wait and see if we have the chance later."

Just as he finished his words, the

lights turned green, and Quill was about to continue driving. Vera could only explain hurriedly as she was the one who was misunderstood right then, Since when did I say that wanted it? I didn't even think about that! You were the one who misled me. Why are you pushing the blame on me now?"
