Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1366

"You're actually awake?!"

Vera asked in surprise and the answer of the affirmative.

"I've been awake the whole time."

Vera was dumbfounded.

"Then why didn't you move an inch when I've been searching high and low."

Then, Quill let out a low grunt. "I didn't have the heart to disturb you seeing how much fun you're having." His voice was hoarse from sleep.

His words were mockery in her ears, and she suddenly pounced on him, beating him out of anger.

"How could you?! You were wide awake, yet you didn't say a thing. You must be entertained seeing me rummaging around like some sort of thief, right? It's bad enough you took my ID and purse for yourself, but you're even poking fun at me. You're enjoying all of this, aren't you?"

Quill had a triumphant smirk in the beginning, but it gradually faded after Vera lost her temper.

"Not at all. If possible, I wouldn't want to confiscate your ID and purse. But if I don't, you'd run away the next second. What am I to do then?"

What would he do then?

For a moment, Vera was swayed by his words. Would he be affected by Vera's absence?

Did Quill need her?

However, she still couldn't give up the moral high ground no matter how much Quill needed her. It was fine if she remained blissfully unaware, but if she continued the relationship after finding out, then what would that make her?

With that thought in mind, Vera clenched her jaw as she retorted.

"That's your business. You can always find another woman to warm your bed."

Quill's gaze darkened after hearing her words, and he tightened his grip on her wrist. "You want me to look for another woman?"

"Yes!" Vera nodded vigorously. "I don't want you anymore, so go and find another one!"

"Do you think you're the only one who has a say in this? If so, then why did you pursue me in the beginning?"

"Oh..." Vera said matter-of-factly, "I was captivated by your looks, but I've gotten bored of it. So, I'm dumping you. Plus, I realized you don't care about your girlfriend at all. All you know is to get your head stuck in your affairs. I visit you and bring you food to your company all the time, but what about you? What have you given me? What have you done when your employees talked about me behind my back? Your fiancee..."

Vera suddenly paused at that.

D*mn it. Why did she mention his fiancee? Wasn't she just digging her own grave?

Realizing something was amiss with her words, Quill narrowed his eyes and asked, "Fiancee?"

Then, Vera faced away and ignored him.

Quill clearly knew what was going on, but he still played dumb. Did he think she was some sort of pushover?

"You obviously know what I'm talking about."

Quill frowned deeply at her words. At first, he thought Vera was mad at him because he'd left the birthday celebration she'd painstakingly organized for him.

Furthermore, he'd said such hurtful words to her. Hence, Quill naturally thought Vera wanted to break up with him because of that.

However, judging from the situation, he seemed to be wrong.

With that though, Quill asked, "So the reason you broke up with me isn't because of my birthday?"

His birthday?

Although he left in a hurry after her painstaking efforts of planning it, she felt a little guilty, thinking she had triggered his trauma when Yulia told her Quill never celebrated his birthdays.

Vera was bewildered.

What was going on? What did he mean by that? Was he denying the fact that he had a fiancee?

Vera could dismiss it as a lie if she'd heard it from other people, but Yulia had personally told her about it. Hell, she even said it in her text.

As the thought crossed her mind, Vera bit her lower lip and said, "Don't lie to me! Are you denying the fact that you have a fiancee?"

Helpless, Quill pleaded guilty. "I've always been single! When have I ever had a fiancee?"

"What about Yulia? Isn't she your fiancee?"

Yulia?

Quill's eyes flashed with confusion at her name. "Yulia? She's just a family friend. I've told you about it. How come she's my fiancee?"

Yulia?

"Liar! You're even calling her name so affectionately!" Vera replied angrily as she gnashed her teeth.

"I'm sure it's not as affectionate as Vivy." Quill lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Vera's. Then, he continued in a hoarse voice, "If you're breaking up with me because of this, then you'd be punishing an innocent man."

"Innocent?"

"Mm." Quill nodded in reply. "Yulia isn't my fiancee. She's just a close childhood friend at most, but there's nothing between us. I don't even see her as a sister."

Vera thought Quill would at least see Yulia as a sister, so she never expected him to deny that.

"I've been looking for my biological sister the whole time. Honestly, Yulia's just someone I used to hang out with when I was a kid."
