"The Maxwell family had moved abroad by the tI grew up. We haven't been in contact for these years, let alone becmy fiancee." It was the first tVera listened calmly to Quill's explanation after their breakup.
According to his explanation, there wasn't anything special between them, but why did Yulia say that she was his fiancee? "Are you sure you two aren't engaged? She really isn't your fiancee?" "An engagement isn't something trifle. If we are really engaged, do you think I won't keep that in mind?" Suddenly, Vera was at a loss for words. Then, realizing something, she asked, "Then when I asked you why you didn't tellthis when you cto my place, you said you didn't know how to tell me. Weren't you talking about this?" Quill broke into laughter after recalling their fight, "I thought you were asking why I don't celebrate my birthdays." Vera was rendered speechless at that.
So her anger was all for nothing?! They had misunderstood each other.
"Can you make your questions more specific next time? You were so vague then; how would I know what you were referring to?" Hearing a hint of blin his tone, Vera blinked and asked, "So you're saying I'm petulant, aren't you? Why would she say you two are engaged if it isn't real? Are you sure you haven't forgotten something?" "She said it?" Quill asked in astonishment, "She said she's my fiancee?" "Something like that," Vera pursed her lips and said unhappily. "But she didn't intend to tellin the beginning. She only admitted it after one of your employees told me." Quill was level-headed, so he could guess what Vera had been through from her words.
Vera thought she was the only one kept in the dark about their engagement. Moreover, she was already upset about being dumped during the birthday celebration. Unable to accept the double whammy, she questioned him but ended up having misunderstood him.
Thus the breakup happened.

Not to mention the amount of love Vera had for him. Quill's heart ached when he thought of the tears Vera had shed in the past few days. He put a hand on the back of her head as he pulled her into his arms. "There is nothing between us. Have you forgotten you're the one who messed within the first place? I've already told you, you're my one and only, and that's never going to change." Tears suddenly welled up in Vera's eyes as she laid in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat.
It turned out that she had been angry for nothing. He would never lie to her, and his denial confirmed the fake engagement.
But... What was going on? Why would Yulia and the people in Hanover Corporation say she was his fiancee? "I know what you're thinking. I'll get to the bottom of this and give you an answer." "Humph!" Vera snorted and snuggled into his arms, "Who cares..." "You don't? Shall we just ignore it then?" "I dare you to say that again!" Vera shouted at him subconsciously but was taken aback for a second.
Quill stared at her with intense emotions in his eyes. He caressed the corner of her eyes as he murmured, "I'd be good if you're always like this." "Huh?" "I want you to continue to be like this. Don't test the waters. You can be as petulant as you want in front of me." Vera didn't know what to say.
Thinking back, she was impeccably petulant, but he embraced it all and even chased her all the way here. Moreover, anyone with an ego would have been put off by her harsh words. But he hadn't lost his temper, not even once.
If she hadn't let slip about his fiancee, would that truly be the end of them? As the thought crossed her mind, Vera wanted to apologize, but she felt awkward. Hence, she snorted lightly.
"I don't need you to teachwhat to do. I do what I want." "Mm, so be it." There was a moment of silence between the two of them.
After a while, Quill spoke again.
"Do you know why I don't celebrate my birthdays?" Hearing this, Vera's heart skipped a beat. She blinked nervously. Was he going to tell her about it? Generally speaking, everyone liked to celebrate their birthdays.
Even if it wasn't done deliberately, anyone would be happy if someone were to plan a celebration forthem.
He must've gone through something traumatic for him not to celebrate his birthday.
Vera suddenly recalled the painful look on his face when she asked him to blow out the candles that day, so she immediately said, "No." She shook her head and snuggled deeper into his arms as she said T don't want to know the reason behind it at all. If you don't want to celebrate your birthday, then so be it. I won't celebrate my birthday either."
Quill's heart melted into a puddle at Vera's heartfelt words; he was no e longer in a grim mood He smiled and said, "You really don't want to know? Are you sure you don't want to listen when I'm willing to tell? This is your last chance." "I don't want to! No!" Vera shook her head vigorously in his arms, "I won't listen no matter what you say. I don't want to know." What a joke! A cake alone had already caused him so much pain. How torturous it would be for him to tell her his trauma.

Here, here's my scar and wound.
Her heart wrenched just thinking about it.
"I'm not upset by this at all but the fact that you have a fiancee that I didn't know about. Now that it's all out in the open, I'm not mad anymore." "And you won't break up withanymore?" "Mm." Vera nodded and said, "I won't." "Then do you still want your purse and ID back?" "No." "Then will you go back withtoday?" Vera suddenly looked up at him.
To her surprise, Quill held her chin and kissed her just as she raised her head. Before she dould make sense of things, his tongue had already invaded her mouth.
"Mmph," Vera murmured lightly but did not resist. Quill's words had long melted heart into a puddle. Shèm responded to his kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. After stime, Quill backed away and asked her in a low voice again. "Are you coming back with me?" Disoriented, Vera nodded, "Yes!" Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men!
