Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1386

"I-I haven't agreed to his proposal."

"Tsk." Minerva looked mockingly at the diamond ring. "You've already put on the ring, yet you're here being all mawkish. I thought you loved Quill?"

"I do, but... he was engaged to another woman! It was already good enough that I can forgive him."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Hearing that, the smile on Minerva's face faded.

"You've found out."

Vera looked at her in shock.

"What do you mean, Minerva? Don't tell me you knew about this long ago. Why didn't you tell me?"

"The reason I didn't tell you is very simple. Quill only has eyes for you, so I didn't think it was necessary to tell you about it and let you worry for nothing. Besides, when I talked to Yulia, she had come to terms that he has a girlfriend, so I thought she wouldn't make a move. But it seems I was wrong.'

Minerva didn't think Yulia was someone wicked.

However, based on her attitude when the two of them chatted that day, Minerva could tell she was probably not one to be kind when it came to relationships.

A lot of people had high moral grounds and worldviews.

But it'd be easy for them to lose their minds when it had anything to do with relationships. Because it was something that could overwhelm their every logic.

But as long as they did not harm others, they could do whatever they wanted.

No one had the right to point fingers at them. It was the most basic respect.

However, Quill had a girlfriend, and Yulia clearly knew about it. If she chose to harm their relationship, it would be a matter of morality.

"Oh, right." Vera remembered an important point and said, "The day I left, she sent me a message."

"Huh? What message?"

"She said although she was engaged to Quill, he had chosen me, so he'd shoulder the responsibility."

Minerva was at a loss for words.

What a pretentious b*tch.

Minerva didn't think Yulia would do this. Her impression of Yulia the first time she met her was completely different from that day. Good and evil within a moment's thought, huh?

Minerva began to ponder.

"Minerva, I don't know if I'm petty, but I keep having the feeling that she has ulterior motives. Not only that, she even sat in the front passenger seat of your brother's car the other day. I know her family used to be close to yours, but I really don't like her, and I don't want to be friends with her either."

"You don't have to force yourself to do either. If she deliberately upsets you, then just do the same to her. An eye for an eye."

"As long as you don't criticize me for it. I'm just worried if the relationship between your families turns sour because of me, then I'll..." Vera didn't finish her sentence, but Minerva understood what she meant.

She patted Vera's cheek lightly and said, "Relax. If anything does happen, I have your back. Besides, it's our parents who had close ties, not us. We're just family friends, and not that we owe her family anything. As long as she doesn't do anything bad, the two families will not have any bad blood."

Only then Vera nodded.

The next day, Quill took Vera to choose a wedding gown.

He didn't say anything at first; it wasn't until after she got in the car and asked that Quill told her about the plan.

Then she immediately blushed. "1-1 haven't even said yes. Why are you already taking me to choose a wedding gown?"

"I don't see a difference." Quill looked at her with a faint smile. "We're not in a rush anyway. We can get your measurements and choose a design first. You can take your time considering my proposal."

Vera was rendered speechless.

He had said not to make him wait too long before, but a few days later, he changed his mind.

Humph, men.

How could he go back on his words so easily, even more so than a woman!

"Alright." Vera shrugged without care and said, "Since you're in no rush, I'll take my time then. How long will it take for the wedding gown to be ready? Maybe I'll only let you know by then."

In fact, she was somewhat upset, and Quill could tell. So happened there was a traffic light not far ahead.

As the car stopped and while they were waiting at the red light, Quill leaned toward her.

"You're upset? Aren't you the one who said to take your time to consider?"

Vera was shocked when he

suddenly approached her. She glanced at the red light only to find there were still more than fifty

seconds left. What was he goil. ne

do? Did he want to clear it upwith her?

UMS

But before she could answer, Quill inched closer.

"Why not you just agree now?"

to

Vera pouted and said, "You just said you are not in a hurry and told me to think about it. Now you want me to agree? You wish." "You're going to marry me sooner or later, so there's no point in thinking about it."

Vera felt a little embarrassed under his stare. She snorted and said haughtily, "Who's going to marry you? How shameless of you." Seeing Quill's face getting closer, Vera blinked her eyes and reminded him, "Green light."

Quill looked at the traffic light; sure enough, it was turning green.

He then reluctantly sat back down and drove.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the bridal boutique.

They had originally planned to see some custom designs, but Vera was captivated by the various designs available as soon as they stepped in. Then she stopped and stood there looking at it for a while.

Quill leaned in and whispered into her ear, "You can't even take another step seeing these dresses. Do you want to continue to say you don't want to marry me?"

Vera was taken aback by his words and almost choked.

She looked up at Quill and replied, "Just because I like wedding gowns doesn't mean I want to marry you."

After that, she didn't look at the wedding gowns anymore but walked inside, leaving him alone.

Just as he wanted to catch up to the

upset girl, his phone rang. When he realized who the caller was, the

gentleness in his eyes disappeared. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment before answering the

phone.

"Hello?"

"I'm sorry, Quill. I didn't want to disturb you at this time, but I'm facing some problems with the company's liaising here, so..."

Yulia sounded embarrassed and helpless.

Hearing that, Quill frowned slightly. "I'm busy at the moment. I'll call you back."

He wanted to hang up immediately, but he heard people quarreling loudly on Yulia's end.

Yulia sighed and said, "I've tried stopping them for a long time, but they wouldn't stop arguing.

Probably because I have no backing and the only surviving member of the Maxwell family that they don't see me as an authority."

Looking at Vera, Quill pursed his lips and finally said in a cold voice, "If you can't take care of something this small with your capability, more trouble will only await you."

Yulia's heart nearly shattered at Quill's unsympathetic words. However, she quickly forced a helpless smile.

She should've known, shouldn't she? He had always been cold toward her, not an ounce of warmth.
