Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Yulia accepted his help to revive the Maxwell family.

Quill did not expect she would have it figured out so quickly. However, he merely slightly glanced at her before he answered the call.

Then Yulia watched as Quill turned into a different person before her eyes. His tone wasn't exactly what one would call gentle, but it was filled with affection and tolerance. For someone who was usually calm and reserved, Quill seemed to have turned into an adolescent. He'd also have an emotional side to him facing the girl he adored.

"Yes, I'm off work. I'll go over later."

"All right."

After hanging up the call and putting his phone away, Quill grabbed his car keys and stood up, "Since you've made up your mind, I'll have someone get down to it soon. You know Maxwell Group the best, so I hope you can write me a proposal as soon as possible."

Yulia stood up too, suppressing all the grievances in her heart, and said, "Alright, I'll get it done and give it to you as soon as possible."

Quill nodded indifferently and prepared to leave.

"Quill," Yulia stopped him. She put on a faint smile when he turned around, "I should explain the whole fiancee thing. I was influenced by my elders at that time. Plus, I really liked you, so I always thought we'd be together in the future. When I first came to you, the receptionist was not willing to let me in. At that time, I only said I was your friend and not your fiancee. However, she thought it was impossible, so she asked me some radical questions. I didn't know that you had a girlfriend at that time, and I was out of options when I came looking for you then, so I just answered simply. I didn't think it'd caused such a huge misunderstanding. Please apologize to your girlfriend for me. I really like you, but since you said there was never an engagement between us, it's high time I wake up."

"I should focus on reviving the Maxwell family now. At least, you're still willing to help me out, for my father's sake. Thank you."

Quill stared at her with a hint of questioning, guessing how truthful she was.

Yulia had probably also guessed his thoughts. She forced a smile and said, "You don't have to look at me like this. I am sad, of course, but I will never force you to like me even if there's no Vera." This was true. For so many years, she never said anything but loved him silently.

Quill didn't reply to her but just dipped his head and left.

Yulia stopped him again. "You're going home, aren't you? Do you mind giving me a ride? My house is not far away."

Quill pursed his lips for a moment before he said, "Hop in."

Vera went grocery shopping that day, so she asked Quill to pick her up so that she could put the items at his villa.
