Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

In the antechamber, it was silent as the door was pushed open. The sun was warm on the winter day as it shone in from the window into the room. Vera rested quietly on the sofa with her down jacket over her body. She was probably freezing as she rolled herself into a ball.

This was the scene Quill saw when he walked in.

His legs had always been too long for the sofa, but it fit Vera's height well; it made her seem even tinier than she was.

Quill didn't expect that she would fall asleep in the antechamber.

Before he came, he thought that Vera would've left due to impatience. After all, he was already surprised she would suddenly visit his office.

Because after he sent Vera home the other night, it was clear that she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

He had always been a cold person. So, even though he had felt something for her, he was able to control his emotions very well. Especially after she told him that she was going to give up on him. If staying far away from him would make her happy, he would be okay with it.

This was because many of his emotions were beyond his expectations.

Unconsciously, Quill moved closer and closer toward Vera. He ended up squatting down in front of her and observed her sleeping face. There was something different in his gaze this time.

Just as Vera was in a deep sleep, she suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at her. It felt intense, and she instinctively opened her eyes.

Quill had moved toward her unknowingly, and now that she suddenly opened her eyes, he had no time to diverge. Moreover, if he did, it would seem like he was hiding something. Therefore he chose to stay in place.

Their eyes met almost in an instant. As Vera had just woken up, her gaze was still blurry. When she saw Quill's face in front of her, her heart skipped a beat, and she became wide awake. She sat up from the sofa; her jacket fell onto the ground.

"You... You... Why are you here?"

Due to her nervousness, she started stammering. She blushed as she looked at Quill. She adjusted her hair frantically and said, "I... I think I overslept."

She had only wanted to take a short nap, but she didn't expect to fall into a deep sleep.
