Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva would misunderstand...

This sentence repeatedly appeared in Vera's mind.

She couldn't think of anything else.

How could it be possible? She must have been mistaken.

She was trying her best to comfort herself, but Quill had observed that her face had turned pale as if she had heard something devastating.

In the past when he rejected her, she did not look as upset as she was now.

As he remembered what had happened, he realized that it was very likely that she had misunderstood what he had just said.

Regardless of whether it was necessary for him to know, he still asked her with a frown, "What are you thinking?" Clearly, it would have been better if he hadn't asked. His question made Vera feel guilty. She bit her lower lip and tried to suppress the tumbling emotions in her heart.

"You... said just now that... Minerva will... misunderstand. What do you mean by that?" Vera stuttered.

She bit her lower lip nervously.

Upon hearing this, Quill frowned.

She had indeed misunderstood what he meant.

Fortunately, he tried to clarify what he meant.

Quill shifted the bag in his hand to his other side and said indifferently, "Minerva is my only family member. If there is any progress in my love life, she would definitely be the one who will care about it the most. Since you're her good friend, I don't want her to misunderstand that there's something between us, or even think of a way to set us up." With this explanation, she would definitely be able to understand, wouldn't she? After listening to him, Vera breathed a sigh of relief, but at the stime, she felt as if there was a huge hole in her heart.

Fortunately, things were not as she expected.

It's just that... Quill really didn't have any feelings for her at all. He was afraid that Minerva would try to set them up again.

She lowered her eyes slowly, and she felt as if all her energy had left her.

"Alright, I understand. I'll go buy a coat now, and I'll return this back to you." After that, she quickly turned around and walked away.

This time, she walked very fast. When she saw a women's clothing store, she quickly went into it.

Just like how she waited outside for Quill, he did the sthing. He stood outside the store while carrying his bag.

A few moments passed.

A female shop assistant cout with a black coat in her hand. She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Quill as if she was trying to confirm something.

He noticed that she was holding his coat, so he walked over to her.

"What's the problem?" "Sir, is this your coat?" He nodded and said, "Yes. Has she bought anything yet?" The shop assistant smiled with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"The thing is, that lady asked us to help her give the coat back to you." Quill was silent for a while, then reached out to take the coat.

"Please wait a moment, I'll take a bag for you to put your coat in," she offered as she felt that it was inconvenient for him to hold his coat in his arms.

He didn't refuse. She took a bag and finished packing the coat for him, but Vera had not cout yet. The shop assistant's face seemed to be a little hesitant. Quill glanced at her and saw that she wanted to say something to him.

"Sir, the lady inside said that she wants to hang out here a little longer. She also said that... you should go back first." He contemplated for a moment what he had just heard, then he nodded and said, "Alright." After thinking for a while longer, he said, "Tell her to go back early, or her friends will worry about her." "Okay, sir. I'll pass on the message to that lady." Soon after, he left with his bag without looking back.

When the shop assistant cback, Vera was sitting on a stool in the fitting room in a daze, wearing a newly bought coat. When she saw the shop assistant coming back, Vera looked expectantly at her. The shop assistant told her with an embarrassed expression.

"Miss, the gentleman had already left." The shop assistant saw the light in Vera's eyes disappear.

In an instant, the atmosphere becheavy. The shop assistant had not encountered such a thing before, so she was a little helpless. She didn't know how to comfort Vera, let alone know whether she would buy this coat or not.

However, she couldn't believe what kind of man she had just met. She told him to go back first, and he actually did.

"Are the two of you a couple?" Hearing the shop assistant's voice, Vera cback to her senses. She shook her head with a wry smile and said, "No." The shop assistant suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

If they weren't a couple, then... she had no right to comment anything about the man.

"I'm the one who likes him, but he doesn't like me." After that, Vera took off her coat and handed it to the shop assistant.

The shop assistant's face beca little annoyed, but she did not say anything. Her guest was already downhearted, so she might not be in the mood to buy any clothes.

"I would like to purchase this." The shop assistant was very surprised at her response, but she still managed to give a little nod.

"Okay, please wait a moment." After paying, Vera got ready to leave with her clothes.

The shop assistant followed her to the door. Seeing her lifeless look, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, the weather is very cold. You'd better put on your coat. I can help you cut off the price tag." Hearing this, Vera paused for a moment and then gave a friendly smile to her.

"It's alright, I'm not cold." "Miss, you're not feeling cold now because you're inside the mall. You won't be feeling warm anymore once you've gone outside." "I know. I'll wear it when I get out of the mall. Now... I still want to check out other stores." The shop assistant stopped persuading Vera since she was so persistent. She just nodded and watched her leave.

Vera grabbed the coat in her hand and went out of the mall.

Sure enough, just as what the shop assistant said, Vera no longer felt warm after stepping out of the m shopping mal. Although the cold air blew cruelly against her body, she did not feel as cold as before. She didn't even feel like wearing the coat that she was carrying with her hands. Perhaps, the chilly wind would be able to wake her up a little? Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth broke into a little smile.

Hopefully she would be able to suppress her feelings for Quill once she was more clearheaded Even o though she had liked him for so long, and her feelings for him were very deep, it wasn't impossible for her to not like him either. Vera walked aimlessly forward, her body was frozen to the point that it was almost numb.

Since she was young, everything had been smoothsailing for her. No matter what difficulties she faced, she would be able to resolve them without issue. The only thing that she wasn't able to handle was her feelings. An unrequited, one-way love.

It was really painful.

So, so painful.

If she could have things her way, she really hoped that she could let go of her feelings. If Quill didn't like her, then she could like someone else. It wasn't like no one else was interested in her.

She laughed to herself and at the stime, tears were rolling down her face. Passers-by looked at her as if she was crazy.

She remained in this condition for a very long time. Suddenly, a figure blocked her way. She stopped in her tracks.

When she saw a pair of familiar shoes, her heart jumped.

Could it be that Quill had returned to look for her? Raising her head, she saw Sam standing in front of her with a frown.

When he saw the tear stains on her face, his frown deepened.

"Sam?" When she realized it was him, Vera laughed at herself for being such a fool.
