Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1133

The light wind parted Vera's fringe slightly. Her eyes were filled with determination, but other than that, she was expressionless.

"I've already said what I wanted to say. If there's nothing else, please leave, President Hanover."

The tall figure stood firmly before her and stared at her without giving any response.

He had no intention of leaving. She waited for a while, but he still didn't leave. She simply turned around and went back to the restaurant without looking at him.

When she entered, Mabie was watching them not far away. She watched her daughter conversing with the young man by the door.

Although he wasn't very close, Mabie still saw the man's appearance clearly. He looked like a successful man. He remained expressionless from the beginning, not giving away anything. No wonder he could make Vera so heartbroken.

When Mabie saw her daughter heading back, she wanted to stop her but failed. She ended up following her to the kitchen.

"How did it go? Did you do as I told you? Did you two talk it out?"

"Yeah, we did."

Vera, who was initially so energetic, replied weakly after she met with Quill. She looked like a puppet with broken strings, lying there lifeless and uninterested.

"Since you both talked it out, what's the outcome? Why do you look so weak? Did you not reach an agreement?"

"Mom, don't be so nosy." Vera turned and put her head on the table.

Mabie began talking again.

"I am just concerned about my daughter's love life. How is that being nosy? It's not like I'm putting my nose into other people's matters. I saw that handsome man from afar. He's been waiting for you for the whole day. Whatever it is, don't just get upset."

"I wasn't simply upset. He waited for me regarding other matters. I have already clarified things with him and we will not stay in contact."

Vera seemed to have lost all her might after saying that, and buried her face in her palms.

Mabie was speechless.

Since her daughter had said so, she didn't know what to say anymore.

The man remained standing outside till the restaurant closed. Several employees even quietly commented as they left work together.

"Ah, he is so handsome. He seems to be more handsome than the man who came to find Vera last time. He has been waiting for Vera the whole day, hasn't he? Why did she ignore him?"

"I don't know. Maybe Vera doesn't like him, and that's why she doesn't want to talk to him?"

"She's so picky. She doesn't even like such a refined man."

"Vera must have some hidden talents. She owns a pasta restaurant, but there seem to be many men who drive luxurious cars to come looking for her. Is she so attractive?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't our boss' mother already explain about Mr. Lowell the last time? He rented the restaurant to Vera. Plus, he has a wife and is infatuated with her."

"How many men can be infatuated with their wives? They only say it verbally. Who knows if they'll end up together?"

"Respect the deceased. Don't talk nonsense. Let's go."

They left in a group.

Mabie packed up her things and was about to leave. Who would have thought that Quill was still standing there? She couldn't help but go up to say something.

"Sir, why don't you go back first? You've been waiting for a whole day, and you haven't eaten anything."

Quill's eyes shifted when he saw Mabie. "Nice to meet you, Madam."

"Hello, I'm Vera's mother." Mabie introduced herself and then said, "Don't wait up anymore. It's better for you to leave soon. Don't torture your stomach."

The corner of his lips twitched, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. I'll wait for a little while more."

She saw that he was insistent. He was very well mannered, but was rather aloof and distant. She was surprised that he didn't beg her, as Vera's mother, to speak for him. This gave her a different impression of him.

She then went back into the kitchen and tugged on Vera's collar.

"Wake up. How long are you going to rest? Are you going home or not?"

"You're not going to talk to him anyway. Are you afraid to walk past him?"

In the end, she dragged Vera around Quill's side.

As she passed by him, Vera heard his cold voice.

"I have something to tell you."

He had something to say to her? What did he have to say? She sneered in her heart. She did not answer and picked up her pace instead.

He frowned slightly. He couldn't help but step forward to block their way and gave Mabie an apologetic look.

"I'm very sorry, Madam. I'll delay you for just a few minutes."

She replied, "You young people should solve your own problems. I'll go wait over there. Vera, have a good talk."

Vera wanted to leave with her, "Mom..."

It was late; many of the shops on the street were closed. Under the street lights, there were two long shadows.

Quill seemed to look a little haggard after a long day. He did not look as refined as usual.

Vera felt a little happy inside looking at him, now that he had a taste of what she had felt.

That was how she starved for the whole day.

It would have been fine if she got what she wanted in the end.

Unfortunately, she didn't. She got heartbroken instead.

She then said coldly.

"You have something to say to me? Anyway, I have nothing to say to you."
