Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

He thought she was kicking up a fuss?

Vera had not expected Quill to sweep her frustrations under the carpet.

Meanwhile, Vera met her eavesdropping parents' gaze.

The three of them lapsed into an impromptu staring contest.

After some time, David scratched his nose in embarrassment and chuckled. "Vivy, it's absolutely normal for lovers to quarrel. You can be mad, but there's no need to be so harsh to him." Vera stood stiffly in place, her expression as grim as the dead.

David continued, "Your mother and I heard your conversation with Quill. We think you sounded commanding, but..."

"Mom, Dad."
