Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Ah! Why didn't he return my phone to me?

If her memory served her right, he placed the bag of medicine into the same pocket where he kept her phone. Why did he return the medicine but not her phone?

Thinking about it, Vera felt miserable, but she had no other options since he was already gone. She could only call Mabie with the landline.

When Mabie heard that Vera had returned home early, she realized that something was wrong.

"What's the matter? Why did you go home so early? Are you feeling unwell, Vivy?"

"No, Mom, I'm fine. I'm just tired from the shopping, and the restaurant is too noisy, so I sneaked back home to take a nap. You don't mind, do you?"

While speaking, Vera stuck her tongue out and made a face at the phone.

In doing so, she pulled on her wound by accident, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Vivy, what's wrong?" Mabie heard her wince.

Vera quickly covered up.

"It's nothing; I'm fine. I accidentally kicked the table, and it hurt." "You brat, you're already an adult, and yet you are still so careless! Only a child would accidentally hurt themselves like that." Mabie nagged her daughter over the phone.

"Oh, Mom, it was an accident, alright? You have to stop nagging me; my ears are ringing. All right, I'm really exhausted; I'm going to sleep now. I'm hanging up."

"Fine, all you do is slack off now that you've opened a restaurant, you brat. Thank God that your father and I can still handle this work. If we were older, we wouldn't be able to handle this at all."

"Hehe. Mom, you and Dad are the best. I love you two. I'm going now, bye."

After that, Vera quickly hung up and breathed a sigh of relief before she limped back to her room.

She changed her clothes and laid down to rest.

She closed her eyes, but her mind was full of images of what happened in the private room at the nightclub.
