Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1036

After leaving Ocean Villa,

Sam drove home by himself. While he was driving, he suddenly received a text from Olivia.

"Mr. Sorrento, is your boss satisfied with the information?"

When Sam read the message, he did not think too much and quickly gave a short reply.

"Somewhat."

After replying to Olivia's message, Sam subconsciously clicked into his contact list and saw a familiar name.

Vera Zais.

Ever since they came back from overseas, they had not seen each other nor contacted each other. What Vera said that day made Sam feel that if he bothered her again, it would mean that he truly wasn't a nobleman.

Therefore, he refrained from looking for Vera.

He wondered how she was doing all this while.

In the end, Sam gave up on the idea of calling her and continued to drive.

Unknowingly, Sam found himself at the building where Vera used to work.

There was no one in the company today as it was a weekend. Sam simply parked the car and lowered the window to look at the entrance of the building.

He motionlessly stared at the building and found himself picturing how Vera looked when she arrived for work.

Before returning to the country, Vera must have been very happy to go to work. He pictured her wearing a dress and carrying a bag as she rushed into the building. If she ran too fast, the things in her hands might fall out.

Then, Vera had to bend down to pick up her things. Because of this, it might cause the other things in her hand to fall as well.

Anyway, she would look like a scatterbrain. In the past, Sam did not fancy this kind of woman. However, if this woman was Vera, he would find her very adorable.

As expected, love could make a person irrational.

Suddenly, Sam thought of a saying.

Those who fell in love first were the dumbest.

Not only did he not dare to contact Vera, he even ended up at an empty office building. How much dumber could he get?

After a while, Sam started the car and drove away.

Time flew by.

Vera visited the hospital every day to take care of her father. During this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zais also saw her earnestness, and Mabie would always sing praises about Vera to David behind her back.

"David, don't you think your daughter has matured a lot ever since she came back? She hasn't complained at all and she doesn't look like she's tired or angry at all, right?"

David thought for a moment and said, "In the end, you just want to take credit, right?"

"Well, don't I deserve it? I'm sure you are aware of your relationship with your daughter during these past five years, right? I was the one who called her during the holidays. If I were as stubborn as you, Vera would have probably run away with someone and never come back. Take this time for example, if I hadn't called your daughter and begged her to come after your accident, do you think she would be taking care of you right now?"

Mabie became a little emotional as she spoke.

"Are you trying to burn bridges right now?"

David felt that if they continued, they would end up quarreling again. Ever since Vera left, they had quarreled quite often. However, each time after quarreling, Mabie would hide in her room and wipe her tears while David would be angry and regretful, and his heart would even ache.

However, his pride stopped him from comforting her.

Now that he had experienced a near- death situation, he was much more open-minded now.

At his age, there was no need to be so calculative, especially with family. There was no need to exaggerate such a small problem, was there?

Just like this instance, if it were in the past, David would've thought that Mabie was being unreasonable, and he would definitely argue with her. He would then ask why she was being so capricious or something hurtful like that.

However, these were not important to David anymore.

Life is so short. As for someone like him, who had lived through almost half his lifetime, there wouldn't be a lot of years left.

At the thought of this, David sighed and said softly, "Mabie, I never thought of burning bridges. You have done a lot for our family. I admit I was stubborn. I should have thought it through before saying anything."
