Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

What had she done? Vera blinked. There was no way she was telling him.

Noticing her silence, Quill looked over and grabbed her wrist. "Hmm?"

Vera replied in a mysterious tone, "It's a secret."

"You'll know when the time comes!"

Seeing Vera being all mysterious, Quill naturally did not press on. Furthermore, he was in a bad mood that day, so the atmosphere in the car fell silent very quickly.

Vera could sense his bad mood as soon as he quieted down. She kept feeling something was amiss.

Because she had been focusing on the surprise, she hadn't wished him a happy birthday nor gave him a present.

Thus, she began assuming if he was upset because of this.

But she could only keep it to herself and wait until they got to the restaurant. By then, he wouldn't be in such a bad mood anymore.

However, if Vera had known what would happen later, she definitely would not have thought about surprising him, nor would she have wanted to celebrate his birthday.

In the restaurant.

When the group of staff saw Vera bring Quill in, they couldn't help sighing and whispering to each other.

"My God, Miss Zais's boyfriend is so freaking hot. No wonder she's willing to prepare such a surprise for him. If I have such a hunk for a boyfriend, I'd be absolutely willing to prepare a surprise for him every single day!"

"D*mn right!"

"His boyfriend sure is a dreamboat, but Miss Zais seems very ordinary. Moreover, she's the one preparing the surprise in this relationship. It feels... Umm..."

Although she did not finish the rest of her sentence, everyone present knew what it entailed.

Their manager interrupted them.
