Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1376

Yulia accepted his help to revive the Maxwell family.

Quill did not expect she would have it figured out so quickly. However, he merely slightly glanced at her before he answered the call.

Then Yulia watched as Quill turned into a different person before her eyes. His tone wasn't exactly what one would call gentle, but it was filled with affection and tolerance.

For someone who was usually calm and reserved, Quill seemed to have turned into an adolescent. He'd also have an emotional side to him facing the girl he adored.

"Yes, I'm off work. I'll go over later."

"All right."

After hanging up the call and putting his phone away, Quill grabbed his car keys and stood up, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll have someone get down to it soon. You know Maxwell Group the best, so I hope you can write me a proposal as soon as possible."

Yulia stood up too, suppressing all the grievances in her heart, and said, "Alright, I'll get it done and give it to you as soon as possible."

Quill nodded indifferently and prepared to leave.

"Quill," Yulia stopped him. She put on a faint smile when he turned around, "I should explain the whole fiancee thing. I was influenced by my elders at that time. Plus, I really liked you, so I always thought we'd be together in the future. When I first came to you, the receptionist was not willing to let me in. At that time, I only said I was your friend and not your fiancee. However, she thought it was impossible, so she asked me some radical questions. I didn't know that you had a girlfriend at that time, and I was out of options when I came looking for you then, so I just answered simply. I didn't think it'd caused such a huge misunderstanding. Please apologize to your girlfriend for me. I really like you, but since you said there was never an engagement between us, it's high time I wake up."

"I should focus on reviving the Maxwell family now. At least, you're still willing to help me out, for my father's sake. Thank you."

Quill stared at her with a hint of questioning, guessing how truthful she was.

Yulia had probably also guessed his thoughts. She forced a smile and said, "You don't have to look at me like this. I am sad, of course, but I will never force you to like me even if there's no Vera."

This was true. For so many years, she never said anything but loved him silently.

Quill didn't reply to her but just dipped his head and left.

Yulia stopped him again. "You're going home, aren't you? Do you mind giving me a ride? My house is not far away."

Quill pursed his lips for a moment before he said, "Hop in."

Vera went grocery shopping that day, so she asked Quill to pick her up so that she could put the items at his villa.

After she called Quill, she bought two cups of milkshake and sat by a bench at the roadside as she'd had to wait for him a while.

She took a glance at the milkshake by her side after she had drunk half a cup and thought Quill definitely wouldn't like such sweet drinks.

But she wanted to be willful and ask him to drink with her.

After waiting for some time, Vera saw Quill's car pull up.

Quill noticed she had bought a lot of things when he came over to help her carry them. "Why did you buy so many things?"

Vera snorted and said, "Your fridge is empty. There weren't even any fruits or beverages, so I bought some. Oh, and some fresh fruits and vegetables too."

After that, Vera pointed to the bag next to her feet, showing off.

"See how much I cared about you?"

Seeing how triumphant she looked, Quill couldn't help tapping her nose. Suddenly, he deepened his voice and asked, "Are you planning to stay there permanently then?"

Hearing this, Vera was stunned.

However, Quill added, "Is it a yes then?"

Vera's ears turned rosy, "I'm still thinking. What's the rush?"

"Didn't I say not to let me wait too long? It's already been a few days. Hmm?"

"Oh, get a move on. Take these things to your place first."

After that, Vera walked directly to the other side of the car with the milkshakes in her hands. She didn't wantto continue this topic with Quill as she'd only blush.

Hence, Vera opened the door to the front passenger seat.

But she was stunned when she saw that it was occupied.

Yulia?

Why was she here?

Their eyes met. Yulia nodded at her with a smile, "Vera."

Looking at her, Vera froze, unable to react for a while.

Quill didn't expect that she would open the door so quickly, so he explained, "When I got off work, she asked me to give her a ride home."

Yulia's expression changed when she heard what he said. She did not expect him to say it so directly.

The joy in Vera's eyes immediately dimmed. She looked at Yulia in silence, but to her surprise, Yulia said, "Vera, you wouldn't mind me sitting here, would you?"

Vera pursed her lips and thought of the message Yulia sent when she left that night.

"You've heard about it, haven't you? Don't overthink it. Although we had an engagement, he's yours now, after all. He'll shoulder the responsibility."

She was disturbed when she saw it.

She even thought Yulia did it on purpose, deliberately saying she had misunderstood her.

She had to say something.

Just like now, she was sitting in Quill's car, the front passenger seat at that.

Therefore, Vera replied directly, "I do mind. If you don't, can you move to the back?"

It was Yulia's turn to be stunned.

She did not expect Vera to be so straightforward.

Seeing that she did not move, Vera thought for a moment and said, "Do you like sitting in the front passenger seat?"

Yulia explained awkwardly, "No, it's just that I get carsick easily, so I didn't think twice before sitting."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
