Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1208

"Some?" Quill squinted. He hadn't planned on giving her any; who would've thought that she actually wanted to eat a few pieces.

Vera saw him squinting and immediately corrected herself.

"Two pieces!" She stretched out two fingers. "How about that? I'll eat only two pieces; then I won't eat anymore."

Quill looked at her silently.

Vera coughed and slowly put down one finger. "How about... one piece?"

Quill remained silent.

Vera suddenly became dejected. Although she really wanted to eat cake, if Quill didn't agree, she would bear the pain and give up the idea.

"Forget it then. I won't eat it."

Vera became downcast. Just as she dropped her head, Quill patted the back of her head helplessly. He gave her the piece of cake he was holding. "Go ahead."

Seeing so, Vera's eyes lit up immediately. She looked up at Quill as if she was asking for his permission.

"Really? You won't be angry?"

"This is the last piece." Quill moved his hand from the back of her head to her cheek and pushed back a few strands of loose hair gently.

"Mhm!" Vera replied enthusiastically.

Minerva's eyes sparkled as she watched them. She didn't know if she was feeling glad or lament. In the past, Quill had told her he wasn't going to get married and even wanted her to give birth to a few more children on his behalf. Who would've thought... It sure was a slap in the face.

Not only was he in love with Vera, but he was also spoiling her thoroughly.

Minerva was undoubtedly happy that her best friend and brother were happy together. However, Vera still had no self-confidence. Perhaps she should think of a way to help improve their relationship?

Minerva put her hand on her chin and looked at them thoughtfully.

Got it!

The corners of Minerva's lips curved into a smile. She was going to do just that.

Vera and Quill had no idea what Minerva was up to.

After that, Minerva went to find Maddox and shared her plans with him.

Hearing that, Maddox frowned slightly. He looked at her, slightly displeased.

Minerva was surprised. She stared at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." He wanted to say that she shouldn't spend her energy on others, but Minerva's brother was her only family. He was afraid that she would be upset if he said that.

So, in the end, he denied it.

But how could Minerva not see through him? She could also see that Maddox was suppressing his emotions. She took his hand and asked, "Could it be that you're jealous?"

Maddox's face darkened. Although he didn't say anything, she could tell that she was right.

"C'mon, Quill is my brother, and Vera is my best friend. It wasn't easy for them to be together. There's no harm in helping them," Minerva explained. Maddox's expression was still dark. It was obvious that he still wasn't happy.

"Alright," Minerva moved closer to him. "When Quill was single, he spent all his energy on me. Now that he has a girlfriend, why can't we just help them? When he gets married, he won't have time to take care of me. By then, I'm yours completely,

aren't I?"

Her last sentence moved Maddox. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her as he held her chin. He said in a hoarse voice, "You have always been mine, completely."

He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Minerva's eyes were filled with smiles. She closed them and kissed him back.

Jelly Bean laid in her cot as she bit her hand, unaware of what was happening.

Three days later.

Upon receiving Minerva's message, Vera's mind went blank.

Minerva had said that she couldn't go to the couple travel package she and Maddox had booked. In order not to waste money, she had given the spot to Quill and Vera.

"You should go. I paid a lot of money for it," Minerva said.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Can't you get a refund? There's still time. You should be able to get a refund." Vera suggested.

"I can't. I booked it long ago, but then I suddenly gave birth. How can I leave Jelly Bean now?"

She had booked it a long time ago? She had suddenly given birth? Vera felt that it sounded strange. Just as she was about to clarify, Minerva asked again, "Are you sure you don't want a free trip to spend time with your Prince Charming?"

Vera was a little moved by Minerva's words.

"But..."

"Perhaps there's a chance for you two to take your relationship a step further? Maybe... sleep with him?"

Vera's face turned red from embarrassment. She was flustered from Minerva's comment and interrupted her. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not that kind of person!"

"Really?" Minerva smiled. "Who was the one who swore to me that she would definitely get together with Quill before they got together? She had even said she was going to sleep with him..."

Vera was flabbergasted, remembering her own words. Back then, she was fearless, but she had become cautious after being hurt thoroughly. She didn't expect to change so much either. Was it because the pain had made her mature?

She seemed to have grown up overnight.

Vera came to her senses and

coughed twice. "I was young and

el

ignorant back then. How dare I say that now?" "Tsk." Minerva laughed at her. "You used to say it so confidently, but now that you're with him, you've become weak instead?"

Vera didn't let it bother her. She said weakly, "I think it's better if we don't go. Quill is very busy with his work, besides..."

"Don't worry; I've already told him."

"You've told him?" Vera was a little surprised. Would Quill agree to go with her?

"I sure did," Minerva replied giddily.

"Did he agree..." Vera held her breath; she was a little uncertain.

"Of course he did." Minerva smiled and comforted her softly, "You're already a couple. Have a little confidence in yourself, okay?"

Speaking of that, Minerva sighed

heavily in her heart. Vera was so

confident in the past, but now she had become so cautious and didn't

have any confidence in hersendet

Although Quill was so gentle with her she still hadn't recovered from the blow she had suffered.

Arranging this trip for them seemed like the right decision.

Sometimes you needed someone else to give you a push.

"Anyway, that's that. Arrange everything you have to do in the next few days. You and Quill will leave

in three days."

After saying that, Minerva hung up directly.
