Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1178

Vera even got mad that time.

Thinking about it now, she felt awkward and embarrassed. After all, to her, although he was Quill's friend, she didn't know him that well.

Vera didn't know how to respond to his sudden ridicule.

Ernest put down the teacup and said to her leisurely with a smile.

"What's wrong? It's a good thing for you to be dating. What's with that look?"

Seeing the faint smile on Ernest's face, Vera finally understood that Ernest came on purpose after hearing about this matter.

Although Vera didn't know their relationship and why he cared so much about Quill's love life, she didn't have the guts to ask so directly.

However, Ernest was also a smart person. He quickly guessed what was on Vera's mind and asked lightly, "You're wondering why am I here?"

Umm...

Vera did not answer, but her face said it all.

"Honestly, I just find it interesting. Do you remember the person I wanted to introduce you to

before?"

Hearing what he said, Vera was stunned for a moment, but she understood almost immediately. "Don't tell me the person you talked about was Quill."

Ernest smiled and nodded.

Vera was at a loss for words.

"He has been single for years; there has never been a girl that he took a fancy to. The first time he came to me was about your matter. I was astonished to hear another girl's name apart from his sister, so I became curious. Weren't you mad when you were at the police station the last time? In fact, you don't have to think so. The fact that he would request from others for you could only prove one thing."

Vera didn't quite understand why Ernest was there that day. Could it be that he was trying to put in a good word for Quill? However, in Vera's eyes, Quill was already the best among the bests.

"Although it's unnecessary for me to say these things now, I should still put in a good word or two for my friend, don't I?" Ernest smiled faintly as if he was just joking.

Vera couldn't help but show a smile.

"No matter what, I should really thank you, Mr.

Lowell."

"Oh?" Ernest raised his eyebrows when he heard her words. "Thank me? What for? I wanted to introduce you to him, but you didn't agree to it."

"It's not that." Vera said awkwardly, "I was referring to when you called him to the police station. If it weren't for that, perhaps... we wouldn't have any more interactions."

Ernest was a little upset.

For some reason, hearing her being so formal with him made him somewhat uncomfortable. Although he was much older than the young girl in front of him, he was the same age as Quill. She and Quill were dating, yet she was being so formal with him as if he was her elder.

"You're being too polite. It's fate that brought you two together. I just gave you two a push. Even if that didn't happen, you two would still be destined to be together."

That was what his wife often said when she was alive because their encounter was extraordinarily marvelous. After they got married, he would always wonder if he hadn't gone to that banquet that day, would he have met her? His wife would pinch his face and question his wild guesses every time. Fate brought them together. If they did not meet that day or the day after, they would eventually meet someday.

Once they have met, they would not be able to escape the fate that tied them together.

Therefore, when Quill came to talk to Ernest about Vera's matter for the first time, he had already confirmed one thing.

Quill wouldn't be able to escape.

It wasn't that Vera needed Quill, but he needed her.

But then again, Ernest coughed softly and said seriously, "If you insist on thanking me, you just have to speak to me like you usually do. You don't have to be formal with me. After all, Quill and I are the same age."

Vera was at a loss for words.

She was stunned for a while before she could understand what Ernest meant. It turned out that he felt that she was regarding him as an elderly person. What he said was true, though. Since she was dating Quill, it would be weird for her to regard him formally as if he was her elder.

"Can't I just be happy for you? You finally have someone by your side, so I'm happy for you."

Quill felt that something was wrong with Ernest's tone. He took a glance at the calendar and asked, "Where are you right now?"

"Where am I?" Ernest glanced around and said with a faint smile, "Where do you think? It sure is hard for me to get a plate of pasta; I've waited for almost half an hour."

Quill didn't speak.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Give me 15 minutes."

Beep...

After hanging up the phone, Quill hung the shirt up. Looking at the shirt Vera wore hanging among his white shirts, his heart inexplicably fluttered.

At first, he wondered if it would be very troublesome to have a woman by his side. But he thought everything that had happened so far was rather nice; he even looked forward to this kind of

life.

Soon enough, he grabbed his car keys and went out.

15 minutes later, he arrived at the pasta restaurant.

When Quill got there, all he saw was Mabie as Vera was accompanying Ernest. That was why he couldn't find her downstairs.

Mabie was stunned for a moment when she saw him. Then she saw Quill greeting her.

"Hello, Auntie."

Mabie asked, "Are you here for Vera?"

Quill nodded slightly.

"She's upstairs with Mr. Lowell."
