Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1546

Time for dinner.

Vera found that there was another person at the dining table, who was Mashauva Taylor, Beanie's playmate.

She was the precious daughter of the Taylor Group.

Looking at her round face, Vera couldn't help breaking into a smile, "Mashauva, it's been a long time. Why has your face gotten rounder?"

The little girl blinked. Her skin had turned fairer. Sitting next to the tall and thin Beanie, she seemed like a white cotton ball.

She didn't understand that Vera was teasing her, so she could only grin at her in a silly manner.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

That smile...

Vera was stunned before her gaze fell on Jelly Bean, who was sitting next to her. Jelly Bean also had a silly grin on her face.

The corners of Vera's mouth suddenly twitched.

When she had seen Mashauva previously, her smile had been pure and lovely, but how could it turn silly so soon after she spent time with Jelly Bean? Was silliness contagious?

Time flew. Jelly Bean had been a tiny infant whom one could hold only with one arm, but in the blink of an eye, she could already sit up by herself. Minerva waited for Maddox to set the dishes on the table before removing her coat and taking her seat.

"Quill, Vera, I cooked all these tonight, so you all should eat more."

As Minerva and Vera were intimates before, she called Vera by her name.

Maddox grumbled, displeased, "You usually aren't this initiative, but your brother came, and you even personally cooked."

Vera blinked. Without waiting for Minerva's reply, she rushed to say, "Maddox, Quill isn't an outsider. He's Minerva's older brother. Why are you even jealous of it?"

Hearing that, Maddox's face darkened. With his eyes squinted, he glared at her, but Vera was not afraid at all. If it was in the past, she would never dare to provoke him. However, she was, right then, Quill's wife. What was there to be afraid of?

Sure enough, Maddox gave her a fierce look before withdrawing his gaze without saying anything.

"All right, stop talking. Let's eat."

Beanie sat beside Jelly Bean and Mashauva and took care of them both at the same time, placing food in their bowls. Mashauva grasped the opportunity to put the crispy meat Beanie had given her into Jelly Bean's bowl and said in a childish voice, "Jelly Bean, this is for you."

With her eyes blinking and her eyelashes that were long like brushes fluttering, Jelly Bean held a shatter-proof bowl that was specially bought for her with cartoon animals painted on it, whispering, "Thank you, Mashauva."

"You're welcome, just enjoy it."

The three of them got along exceptionally well.

After dinner, Vera went to the kitchen to help Minerva with the cleaning and she asked, "What were you thinking about Mashauva? Are you going to train Mashauva into Beanie's future fiancee?"

Hearing her words, Minerva cast her a strange glance.

"How's that possible? She's still so young. The children are just fooling around, and I do like her very much too."

"I know that, but didn't I hear that Maddox called her over to be Beanie's girlfriend in the beginning?"

"Well, that was how it started, but they're still young, so I won't meddle with all this stuff. Anyway, you know that love can't be forced by adults. If they're destined to be a couple in the future, I surely won't oppose it, but if the children don't have any feelings for each other, I can't force them to be together. So, I won't say anything, and it's up to them after they've grown up."

Minerva turned on the tap, and the water gushed out. Vera then placed the cleaned plate under the running water.

"You're right. However, Mashauva is beyond control when she eats. It's bad for her health if she gets obese."

"Mhm." Minerva nodded in agreement, "I also feel that it's harmful to one's health. I reminded her several times, and each time, the little girl would promise me that she would control her eating, but once she saw food, she would forget about her promises and leave all the warnings I gave her behind."

"I guess it's because she's too young. When she grows up, she should be able to control herself. If she can't control her appetite, when she visits your house, don't put too much food in front of her."

"Well, that's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind."

The two chatted with each other in the kitchen.

All of a sudden, the kitchen door opened, followed by Quill and Maddox striding into the kitchen.

"Why are you guys here?" Minerva asked in confusion when she saw the two of them had their blazers taken off, wearing only their white shirts underneath.

With foam still on her hands, Vera stared at the two men in bewilderment as well.

Maddox pulled up his sleeves and took the dirty plates over from è Minerva's hands as he walked over, "We've finished cleaning the dining table. You can leave and take a rest outside. Leave everything to me."

While speaking, Quill held Vera's hands and helped her wash them clean as she stood by the sink, saying softly, "The servants served some fruits outside. Go out first and try some. We'll head home in a bit."

Just like that, two women were driven out of the kitchen by the two men as soon as they began to work in the kitchen.

After the door was closed, Vera and Minerva exchanged glances in puzzlement.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. Why did it seem as if he suddenly turned into another person, and even wanted to wash the dishes?"

"Does he usually wash dishes at home?"

"No. The servants do all of it."

"It's the same in our family."

After saying that, they fell silent. What was wrong with the two men that day? Was it because it was the ladies who was washing the dishes, so the two men decided to lend a helping hand and wash them by themselves?

At the thought of that, Minerva pursed her red lips and said, "Forget it. If they want to wash the dishes, let them do it. We're free. Let's go and accompany the children."

"Sure."

What they didn't know was that after the two men closed the kitchen door, Maddox sneered.

"I'm here to wash dishes for my wife. What the hell are you doing here?"

Upon hearing that, Quill cast him a cold glance and reminded him, "Your wife is here, and so is mine, plus, your wife is my sister."

Maddox chuckled, "So what? A brother can never match up to her husband."

"Also, be more polite to Vera in the future."

Maddox was perplexed.

"Otherwise, I'll find an excuse to have Minerva stay over at our house."

Maddox wanted to give him a good beating. His smile turned slightly sinister, but after a moment, he tried to compose himself.

"You know that Vera loves Beanie, don't you?"

Quill lifted his brows.

"After all, before she had children, she lived with Beanie for so many years. Shall I suggest for Beanie to live in your house with Mashauva? What do you think about that?"

The corners of Quill's eyes twitched, and he squinted at Maddox. The piercing gazes of the two that shot daggers instantly charged back and forth. After a brief while, the two men shifted their gazes away at the same time. The battle ended!
