Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

There was silence on the other end of the line. Ernest smiled faintly as he said, "Why? Did I hit the nail on the head? You have nothing else to say?" After a moment of silence, Quill's voice finally returned to its usual aloofness.

"She is a friend of my sister's."

"Oh?"

Ernest chuckled and said, "She's your sister's friend. Are you trying to go for someone much younger than you? That's good. She's young and energetic. She's perfect for an old man like you." Ernest pretended that he did not understand the meaning of his words.

In fact, according to his understanding of Quill, he knew that he meant that Vera was just Minerva's friend and nothing more. He had helped her because she was her friend.

But who was Ernest? Why would he believe him?

He had to misinterpret Quill's intentions.

Anyway, he couldn't do anything to him.

Sure enough, Quill just sighed and did not even bother to explain. He just said, "You can interpret it as you wish. My meeting is about to begin."

Ernest said, "Go ahead. Remember that you owe me a favor."

After that, he hung up the phone. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

All of a sudden, he became a completely different person compared to the one who was joking with Quill earlier.

His wife had passed away for many years. He had long since known how to control his emotions. Although he felt bitter on the inside, he was still able to talk cheerfully and humorously with his friends. His smile might not be sincere and did not reach his eyes, but did it matter?

In this world, the only person who could understand his pain and felt sorry for him, was dead...

He had already... lost her forever.

He closed his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his pale lips.

Minerva was a little surprised when she received the news that Vera was going to open a restaurant. However, after the initial shock, it turned into joy.
