Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1346

"Mmph."

Vera's vision went dark as she felt Quill's lips on hers.

Dazed and lost, she subconsciously grabbed Quill's collar, leaning against him as her knees went weak.

After God-knew-how-long, Quill finally retreated.

During the kiss, he moved his hand from her chin to both sides of her cheeks, transforming into a careful kiss as he cupped her face.

Then it deepened. After stepping back, Quill's thumb moved along her soft cheeks to her mouth, gently caressing it.

Sh*t! Vera's face flushed. They'd gone overboard!

Her gaze flew around, not daring to look at him.

"Are you hungry now?"

Vera nodded blindly and said, "Yes!"

"Let's go then."

"No, no..." Vera shook her head. "I have to go back to the restaurant. Maybe next time?"

In truth, she wanted to go back and continue folding the paper cranes. She had to get it done as soon as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get it done in time!

Quill did not expect Vera to reject him. Helpless, he pinched her nose. "You don't even have time for dinner?"

Embarrassed, just when Vera was thinking about how to answer his question, Quill sighed helplessly and said, "Some other day then. Let me drive you home."

"No, I'll go back myself. It won't take long!"

After that, Vera broke free from his arms and ran away. After a certain distance, she waved at Quill and said, "Go back to work. I can go back by myself."

Seeing how energetic she looked as she waved her hands at him, Quill couldn't help smiling.

Then, he also waved her goodbye.

"Stay safe."

"Alright!"

After receiving his affirmation, Vera went into the elevator, assured.

As the elevator reached the lobby, Vera bumped into Yulia, who was in a daze, just as she came out.

She stood in front of the elevator with a blank look in her eyes, looking like she was lost. She didn't even notice Vera when she came out of the elevator.

Because of the bond Vera formed with Yulia in the hospital, she took the initiative to greet her.

Hearing a voice, Yulia came back to her senses. She then became a little absent- minded again when she saw Vera smiling brightly.

However, instantaneously, she focused her gaze on Vera, looking at her in disbelief.

Because at that moment, Vera's lips were glowing, and her gaze was soft and charming; She looked incredibly beautiful. While she rode the elevator multiple times in a daze, they were...

She felt a dull throbbing in her heart. As if tens of thousands of arrows were piercing through it.

Within a split second, Yulia's face became ghastly pale. Even her steps were a little unstable, nearly forward.

"Huh?"

Seeing Yulia in a daze as she came out of the elevator, Vera wondered what was troubling her. Then her face suddenly became pale as her body fell forward; Vera subconsciously supported her and asked, "Are you all right? You don't look so good. Are you not feeling well?"

After learning her story from Quill, Vera assumed Yulia's current financial situation should be quite tough. But even so, she still insisted on treating her.

She could tell Yulia had a strong sense of self-esteem. So, Vera thought they could just find a food truck. That way, Yulia wouldn't have to spend so much, and she hoped to take some pressure off Yulia.

So when Vera suggested eating barbecue, Yulia froze. Then, she looked at the girl who was smiling happily.

"Are you saving money for my sake? Don't worry; I can still afford to treat you to dinner. You don't have to do that."

"But..."

"If you refuse even this, then I feel insincere."

Finally, they went to a restaurant. When Vera looked at the menu, Yulia told her softly, "Order whatever you want. No need to worry."

Although Yulia had said so, Vera still only ordered a main and handed the menu to Yulia.

"I know what I'm getting. What about you?"

Yulia took it and looked at it a few times before simply ordering her main as well as a few appetizers. Vera wanted to stop her but decided to swallow back her words in the end.

Forget it. After all, it was Yulia's goodwill.

It was not good for Vera to refuse her all the time.

After that, Yulia looked at her red lips, masking the pain in her heart as she asked, "By the way, do you come to visit Quill every day?"

"Yeah." Vera nodded and said, "He is too busy with work, so he tends to neglect his health. So I'll bring him something to eat whenever I have the time."

"I see." Yulia nodded. "He's very focused when he works, sometimes to the point of forgetting to eat. He is really blessed to have a girlfriend like you."

Then, Yulia stared at her again and said, "You're not looking as well as before, and your dark circles are obvious. Is everything alright?"
