Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Aware of his actions, Vera felt even more embarrassed. She could only lie in Quill's arms and close her eyes; she was too ashamed to face anyone. Quill was not wearing a life jacket, so his chest was broad. When she leaned on his chest, it was not only warm, but she could also hear his heartbeat. At first, Vera heard a rapid heartbeat.

She thought it was hers, so she mocked herself for being such a wuss.

But after a while, she found out the heartbeat didn't seem to belong to her. Who else could it belong to?

Vera couldn't help but look up at Quill. He looked calm. He lowered his head just as she looked up; their eyes met.

Unknown emotions surged beneath those eyes; it was impossible to tell he was very emotional when he kissed her just now.

If it weren't for the fact that she was close enough to him, Vera really wouldn't have known...

On the surface, the man looked calm, but his heart was beating so fast.

It turned out that... she was not the only wuss.

Thinking of this, Vera suddenly became happy. She smiled at Quill happily and poked his chest with her finger.

"Your heart is beating so fast."

Her tone was full of schadenfreude as if she was deliberately making fun of Quill.

Quill was quite thick-skinned, so he was not afraid of Vera's ridicule at all. Instead, he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. In a low voice, Quill said, "Yeah, all because of you."

Her small fair palm rested on where his heart would be. Vera could feel that his heartbeat was very lively, softly hitting her palm again and again.

It was a powerful force.

Vera blinked; her originally calm heartbeat now answered his. She had only wanted to ridicule him; who would've thought she would be teased in return. The heat on her cheeks that hadn't fully faded burned again.

In the end, she just laid in his arms without saying a word.

And on the other side?
