Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Vera took a deep breath and gathered all her courage to look up at Quill.

"Don't worry, I don't know what happened just now, and I won't tell anyone about it," Vera reassured.

Quill stared at her silently.

"Is that all you have to say?" Vera blinked and looked at Quill in confusion.

What else was she supposed to say? Vera thought carefully for a moment and suddenly understood.

Helen and Quill had made their hearts clear. Moreover, Quill had discovered her presence and thought that her feelings for him would have been reignited upon listening to his conversation with Helen. Did he want her to stay so that she would promise him that she wouldn't pester him anymore? Was he that afraid? Although she had decided to give up, her heart was still extremely uncomfortable when she saw Quill in his current state.

Although Vera didn't feel comfortable, she eventually clenched her teeth and raised her hands to make a solemn swear.

"I promise that I won't tell anyone about what happened today. I just unintentionally passed by and didn't notice anything. Also... what you are worried about won't happen either, so don't worry." Vera reaffirmed her promise.

Quill frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of emotions. He stepped forward until he was only one step away from Vera. His masculine scent suddenly surrounded her. Vera, who had raised her hand to make a promise, was stunned in place from Quill's sudden approach.

"What am I worried about?" His voice was cold. Under the corridor lights, his features looked charming. There was a faint light in his eyes as he stared at her like staring at a target.

Vera stared at him for a long time. For a brief moment, she saw a different emotion in his eyes.

She instantly lowered her head and stared at her toes with an uneasy feeling.

"Aren't you worried that I'll pester you?" Vera asked.

It was probably a mistake, or she was probably possessed. Otherwise... why would she have seen a trace of warmth in Quill's eyes? And...

As for the rest, Vera didn't dare to think about it any further.

It would all just be her wishful thinking! She should stop overestimating herself! "Don't worry. I remember what you toldin the past. I used to like you, and I even stepped on my dignity for you..." Vera spoke.

Quill's gaze paused. The young girl in front of her spoke with her head hung low, looking as if she had been wronged. He subconsciously raised his hand and directed it at the back of her head.

"But now I've thought it through, and I won't pester you anymore. I won't like you anymore either." Vera continued.

The words "I won't like you anymore" caused Quill's hand to pause in mid-air. He didn't continue any further. Instead, he tightly pressed his lips together and frowned as he looked at her.

Vera still didn't raise her head. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She spoke her mind in one go.

"Since I've decided not to like you anymore, I definitely won't pester you in the future. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about. The reason you toldto stay is to hearsay these words, isn't it? Now that I'm done speaking, can I... go now?" Vera said.

After that, Vera quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, she could say anything when she didn't look at him. If she looked into his eyes, she wouldn't have said it so smoothly.

When Vera looked up again, Quill's face had already turned cold, and he had already kept his hand.

It was as if everything just now had not happened at all.

Since Vera had said all that, what else could he say? Vera wanted to leave, but he did not agree. Therefore she dared not leave. At that moment, a bunch of girls cto the bathroom as they chatted and laughed. Vera's expression changed upon hearing their voice. Before she managed to get a response from Quill, she said, "I'll make my move first." and immediately ran off.

She was so panicked as if she was afraid of other people seeing her with Quill.

Quill watched as she staggered off. It wasn't until a long while that he retracted his gaze.

When Vera returned to the party, she was out of breath and becparticularly skittish. She got herself a glass of juice and nestled in the corner.

As soon as she took a sip of the juice, Helen cover.

When she said hello to Vera, Vera jumped and almost spat out the juice from her mouth. However, she held it back and ended up choking herself. Then, she coughed violently. "Cough, cough..." Helen passed her a couple of napkins as she laughed in amusement.

Vera grabbed it and wiped the corner of her mouth. She was coughing so terribly that she had tears coming out of her eyes. As soon as she recovered, she thanked Helen after she wiped the corner of her eyes.

There was a strange smile on Helen's lips when she looked at her.

"Why... Why are you looking atlike that?" Vera asked.

Vera's scalp tingled under Helen's stare. She looked away in guilt, probably because she had just witnessed Helen's confession earlier. She didn't dare to look her in the eye.

"I can't believe you hid it so well," Vera was baffled.

Hid it so well? What did she mean? She looked at Helen with a face full of confusion and hoped that she would explain herself.

Helen quietly squeezed her way over to Vera and whispered.

"You're with Quill, and you never talked about it. How does this not count as hiding well?" Helen teased.

Vera's throat turned itchy from all the coughing earlier. As she was about to take a sip of juice to help soothe it, she didn't expect Helen to say something like that. She was so startled that she spit oute mouthful of juice from her mouth.

"Pfft..." Helen hurriedly avoided her and helplessly looked at her.

"Can you calm down?" Helen said.

"I'm sorry..." Vera was embarrassed, and her face turned blood red. She m had lost her composure. Compared with the beautiful and noble Helen, ΝΟ she looked so vulgar. All of a sudden, she felt miserable.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you. I just want you to stop freaking out. If you keep spitting when talk to you, this party wil run out of juice... Back to the topic. Con, tell me, how long have you guys been together?" Helen asked again. Vera grabbed stissue and tried to clean up the mess she made. She let out a bitter smile as she finally cleaned herself up.

"You're mistaken. I'm not with him." Vera said.

Perhaps it was because she eavesdropped on their conversation, and Quill had asked her to stay. Maybe that's why Helen had misunderstood the situation.

"Mistaken?" Helen raised her eyebrows in surprise and said. "Aren't you two a couple? You're not lying to me, are you?" Vera really didn't know why a celebrity like her would be so gossipy about it. At that moment, Vera firmly shook her head.

"What benefit would I get from lying.

to you? I'm curious, on the other hand... Aren't you usually acting? How would you..." Vera couldn't bring herself to finish her sentene She blushed as she wanted to ask Helen why she fell for Quill

Upon seeing her like this, Helen couldn't help but pinch her red cheeks and said, "Just ask if youm want to What are you so nervous about? Plus, we've known each other for such a long time." After pinching her cheeks, Helen smiled and explained in a whisper. "You think I like him, don't you?" Helen teased.

Vera opened her lips and asked, "Isn't that the case?" If Helen didn't like Quill, why would she confess her love to him?
