Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1163

In the end, Quill stroked her head again and asked her to go upstairs. Vera turned around and left with a blushing face.

When she went back inside, she was still spacing out.

After all, what happened was too illusory. Did Quill seem to be a lot more gentle to her? Although his tone was still as indifferent as before, it was no longer as cold and unapproachable.

Was it because of that kiss?

Thinking of that, Vera's cheeks started to heat up.

Swoosh...

The door opened, and Mabie poked her head out.

"What are you doing? Why are you giggling by the door?"

Vera immediately stopped smiling and snorted as she went back to her room.

In the Ocean Villa.

On the wooden patio by the sea, Minerva sat down with difficulty while supporting her belly. She tried to put her feet into the cold waters. Then, a faint voice rang out from behind.

"Mommy, Daddy will be upset if he sees that."

As she heard that, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Beanie, who followed behind her. She looked a little awkward.

"He's not here, isn't he? I'll do it secretly; he won't catch me."

Beanie blinked innocently and said, "But Mommy, Daddy asked me to keep an eye on you before he went out."

Minerva was speechless.

"Beanie, I am your mommy. Are you sure you want to bully me along with your daddy?"

Beanie walked to Minerva's side, pulled on her sleeve, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"But Mommy, you're going to have a baby soon. The water is so cold at this hour; it's not good for your health..."

"The weather is getting warmer; it's no big deal for me to have some fun, is it?"

As she was due very soon, Maddox kept an even tighter eye on her; she wasn't allowed to go anywhere. He was so protective of her as if she was a precious jewel, afraid that anything might happen to her.

Minerva didn't know to be sad or happy about it.

It was because Maddox was never with her when she delivered. He felt that he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband during her first pregnancy. Therefore, he wanted to make sure that he accompanied her this time.

Who would have thought that he would be so strict after he read the precautions during pregnancy?

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no choice but to leave that day, but he couldn't bring her along with him, Minerva thought he might even put her in her pocket and take her along.

It was only when Minerva promised that she would obediently stay in her room until he came back that Maddox left. But even so, he still got someone to keep an eye on her.

Yes, it was Beanie.

"Beanie, your Daddy has no experience in giving birth, but I do. When I was pregnant with you, I wasn't as restricted as now; I even went to work then. In short, I did a lot of things I should not have done during pregnancy. You still ended up fine, didn't you?"

"Humph, it's not the same. I am a boy, but Mommy is pregnant with a little girl now. A girl must be well protected..."

Minerva was rendered speechless.

What Beanie said sounded so reasonable that she couldn't refute his words.

Vera guessed Mabie's thoughts, and Mabie narrowed her eyes.

"How did you know that he was seriously injured? That night...”

Vera nodded. "Mm."

"Did he beat him up that badly?"

She recalled how Quill looked when he beat Sheridan up that night. If she hadn't stopped him, Quill would have beaten him to death. She didn't expect that he, who had always seemed indifferent, would have had such a big reaction.

"Mom, it's not that. It was just that Sheridan went too far that night, and I also helped. I hit him as well.

Vera's eye darted a little when she said the last part. She obviously wasn't confident when she said those words. How could Mabie not know that her daughter was just trying to defend that man? As she thought about it, she held her daughter's hand and asked, "Are you serious about him? Is it that you wouldn't want to marry anyone else but

him?"

Vera's face turned red. "Mom, why would you suddenly ask this? Weren't we talking about me going out?"

"Answer me first, and then I'll think about whether I should let you out."

After thinking about it, Vera felt that it was better that she speak the truth. She felt that Quill was the only one for her anyway; she might as well put it out there bluntly.

"Yeah." She nodded and admitted it. "Mom, do you know the feeling of when you can't see anyone else except for that one person?"

Mabie's heart shuddered when she heard Vera's words. Then, she heard Vera continue speaking.

"When I first met him, I didn't like him at all. But when I started falling for him, I couldn't see anyone else anymore, no matter how outstanding others were."

Mabie calmed herself a bit. "I understand. If you really think so, then I'll support you, but... How does he feel about you?"
