Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1421

As the thought crossed her mind, Vera's expression became somewhat nuanced.

As if possessed, she suddenly raised her head to look at Quill and asked, "Um, You have good control over your desires at your age, don't you? Or perhaps you're out of your depths about doing it?"

Quill had just buttoned up his shirt and was about to sit down for dinner when he heard Vera's words. His expression changed instantly.

"Say that again?"

His gaze said it all, and Vera instantly knew she had shot herself in the foot, so she lowered her head and ate at once. "N-Nothing."

She had a look of regret on her face after she lowered her head. Aargh! Why did she not have a filter on her mouth?! Quill was a man; if any man was questioned of his ability, it would definitely hurt his dignity.

Alas, what was wrong with her? Could it be that he had spoiled her rotten that she began to act unscrupulously and dared to say anything and everything?

However, Quill didn't make a move. Vera raised her head awkwardly and pushed the food to his front. "Here, have some."

After that, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Quill's eyes. She was truly digging her own grave just now. She hoped that Quill would not think too much about it.

Fortunately, Quill didn't press on but sat down and ate, looking deadpan. Vera sneaked a peek at him and thought he probably didn't take it to heart, or perhaps he just didn't let it show.

The two finished their meal in silence. During that, Vera couldn't stop thinking about Quill's state of mind, so she had completely lost sight of all that had happened during the day.

After the meal, Vera nestled in her chair and didn't want to move. Quill stood up and stoically cleared the table. Vera originally wanted to help, but she thought she should let him do it to see how tolerant he was of her.

When Quill was throwing the trash, Vera ran directly to the sofa to lie down. After a while, she started feeling sleepy. As her eyelids grew heavy, she could hear Quill's footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, but she was too sleepy to care.

Shocked, she was suddenly in mid- air. Vera opened her eyes in a panic and happened to meet Quill's gaze; she was dumbfounded for a moment. "What are you doing?"

Carrying her in his arms, Quill walked up the stairs without a word.

Before Vera could even figure out what was going on, she was already in his room.

Although they lived together before their marriage, they had always slept in separate rooms. This was the first time Quill carried Vera into his room.

It was only when Vera's head touched the pillow that she gradually realized what Quill was trying to do.

Unfortunately, it was too late now. Quill was already above her, pinning her wrists down, and was about to kiss her.

"H- Hold on!" Vera stopped him in a panic. Nervousness filled her eyes. "Quill, calm down."

"You think I do not have the ability to do it?"

However, Quill spoke as he stared at her with a nuanced expression as well as raised eyebrows as he asked, "Was that night not enough to tell you if I'm out of my depths?"

Vera didn't dare say a thing.

Oh, it was more than enough!

However, although he showed how capable he was that night, the two of them had never done it after that. So it was reasonable for her to have that suspicion.

However, this had to do with a man's dignity, and Vera knew she had accidentally hurt him, so she had to think of something to say to undo what she had done.

While she was deep in her thoughts, Quill had already begun to take her clothes off. Actually, Vera was also looking forward to it. After all, she'd be doing it with her beloved man. But she was currently pregnant, and she was still in her first trimester, so it'd be risky for them to do the deed. As the thought crossed her mind, she held Quill's hands down in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Quill leaned in. His thin lips lightly tapped the tip of her nose. "Are you scared?"

Vera nodded nervously, bit her lower lip, and said, "I-I... It's not a good time."

"Huh?"

"It's, you know... I'm on my period."

What period? She was pregnant. However, it was the only reason Vera thought could stop him from continuing.

She only prayed Quill would take the bait.

Hearing that, Quill, being the simple man he was, actually paused for a moment before he asked,

"When did it start?" "Y-Yesterday," Vera said with an uneasy gaze. "My stomach still hurts a little. All thanks to the period."

Quill stared at her for a long time as if to verify her words. Finally, he pursed his lips, got up, and sat on the edge of the bed.

The atmosphere just now was

instantly obliterated. Vera felt a little cold lying on the bed alone, and she wanted to go under the quilt but sat up the next second, remembering it was Quill's room.

She had only wanted to tell a white lie, but to her surprise, he believed her without a shadow of a doubt. Vera heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that she managed to escape so easily.

"Well, then, shall I go back first? I was drenched in sweat earlier, and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. So I'm going to take a shower."

Hearing that, Quill looked at her sideways. Seeing that she had returned to her normal self, he nodded.

"Alright."

However, he was thinking otherwise, "Just you wait; I'll have you pay back twofold in a few days. By then, you'll know if I'm out of my depths."

Perhaps his control over his desires was too good, so his girl mistakenly thought he wasn't capable.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

However, Quill was not in a hurry. After all, he'd have an entire lifetime for her to know.

After Vera left, Quill stared at the door, deep in thought. After a while, he took out his phone.

Juliette was somewhat speechless when she received the call.

"President, I believe it's way past working hours."

"Help me investigate Vera's whereabouts this past two days."

Hearing that, Juliette raised her eyebrows in bewilderment and asked, "President Hanover, why are you investigating her whereabouts so suddenly? Is everything okay?"

"Send the information to my email once it's ready."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Juliette still found it strange. Why would the president want to know Vera's whereabouts? Wasn't their wedding just around the corner? Could it be that something happened between the two of them?

Juliette didn't dare ponder on it further. After all, it was President Hanover's order. She'd better got to it as soon as possible.

When her husband saw her hanging up the phone, he looked at her resentfully.

"Let me guess. Your boss?"

After Juliette told him the situation, helplessness arose in her husband's face. "I have to admit, your salary in Hanover Corporation is really high but it's also really tiring. Honey, we're not short of money. If you feel burned out, just resign. My income alone is enough to support our family."

Juliette was touched; she thought she had married right. At least, he knew to feel bad for her.

"Alright, I'm still doing fine. There is no need for you to say that. Besides, well have to spend a lot more money as our kids grow up."

"
