Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"What is this?"

Mabie had never seen such a big diamond before, so she was rather dazed when she grabbed Vera's hand, "Vivy?"

Somewhat shy, Vera mumbled, "Mom, don't ask."

"Did Quill give it to you?"

Vera nodded.

"He proposed?"

Vera nodded again.

Mabie's breathing became rather irregular, "And you said yes?"

Hearing this, Vera's face turned bright red, and her gaze flitted left to right, "I... I'm still considering it."

"You're still considering?" Mabie couldn't help raising her eyebrows and teased her, "Yo, when have you learned to be reserved? Why hadn't you given a second thought when you pursued him back then? And now you want to think about it when he has proposed to you?"

Vera snorted and pouted; what was she to do when he had proposed out of the blue. Even though she wasn't the type to care about rituals, he shouldn't have put the ring on her so hastily. No way she'd say yes so simply.

"Of course I have to think about it. If I said yes without a second thought, then wouldn't he have gotten off lightly?"

Vera realized Quill was much more patient with her than she'd imagined after the experience on the train. Hence she wanted to be petulant and feel what it'd be like to be spoiled. Just thinking about it was enough to elate her.

"Silly girl. Just follow your heart. No matter what, as long as you are happy, so will we."

Vera smiled and hugged Mabie by the shoulder, "Thank you for understanding. I love you guys."

"Alright, that's enough." Mabie patted her hand. Although she acted displeased, her heart was filled with warmth and smiles.

Nearly a week had passed by the time Quill returned to the company.
