Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera ran back to the room in one breath; she was still panting when she closed the door. She bit her lower lip in annoyance and held her cheeks. Why was she so agitated? She should have just answered those questions calmly and pretended that nothing had happened.

She had done it. She showed such a huge reaction in front of Quill; he would probably think that she cared about this greatly.

She was really timid and embarrassing.

How should she go downstairs later? And what did he mean about the incident the night before? Perhaps... would it be better for her to pretend that nothing happened?

As she thought about this, Vera wanted to give herself a big thumbs-up for being quick-witted.

As long as she pretended that nothing had happened and acted normal, everything would be fine.

After taking a deep breath, Vera silently encouraged herself and opened the door. When she was about to go downstairs, she saw Quill standing right in front of her.

She jumped in fright and widened her eyes as she

took a few steps backwards.

"W-why are you here?"

Shouldn't he be talking with Juliette downstairs? Why did he come up only after such a short while?

"Are you really going to eat this little?" It bothered him that she didn't eat much earlier, so Quill asked her the moment he saw her. Vera was stunned for a moment, then she nodded blankly. "I... I'm full. I can't eat anymore."

"Have a little more; I'll take you home after that."

Her parents must have been distressed about her since she hadn't gone home all night. Quill should have sent her to the hospital, then her home after the incident.

But she probably didn't want her parents to worry too much, so she asked him to take her to a hotel.

How could he leave a young lady in a hotel alone? What's more, she was still...

Thinking of that, Quill's gaze fell on the wound on her face. Although he had applied some ointment onto the wound, there was still a mark after one night.
