Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Sure enough, after these words, the bunch of employees who were gossiping turned silent. They looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

One of them even bowed to Mabie. "We're sorry, Mrs. Zais. We were just curious. We don't mean any harm. We won't gossip about it anymore after hearing your explanation."

Mabie glanced at her. It was the new girl who joined the restaurant recently, and she was a hard worker. Mabie shook her hand and said, "Forget it. I'm not trying to blame you guys, but this is about my daughter's reputation, and it is disrespectful to Mr. Lowell's late wife. It is better that I explain it clearly so you would know about it."

"I see, Mrs. Zais, it won't happen again."

The others also nodded.

Mabie cleared the misunderstanding just like that.

In the private room upstairs, Vera served the pasta to Ernest. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Thank you."

Vera returned a smile and said, "I'll leave you to it then."

It was Ernest's first visit to the restaurant since its grand opening. He looked like he was hesitating when he entered the restaurant earlier. Perhaps this place had too many memories for him, memories between him and his wife. Therefore, he was struggling between wanting and not wanting to come.

Of course, these were merely Vera's guesses. In fact, she just assumed that Ernest was the kind of man who wouldn't want anyone else's company other than his late wife. Although she wanted to entertain him, she felt that it was better to give him his privacy.

Ten minutes later.

The delivery truck was here, and there were plenty of boxes in various sizes. Vera carried them into the restaurant by herself. Although other people were helping her, Vera was still the quickest. After a while, Vera saw an extra figure among the crew. Ernest had come down from the second floor. She was shocked and asked, "Mr. Lowell, why are you down here?"

Ernest was a strong man. Vera could only carry one box at a time, and she had to do a few trips, whereas Ernest could easily pick up a few boxes in one go.
