Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

The person's back was tall and broad, like a steady pine tree standing in the wind.

It was Quill.

Vera instantly recognized his back. She reflexively stepped back and hid in the corner. Her heart thumped rapidly as she stood close to the wall.

What a disappointment.

Vera scolded herself in her heart.

All of a sudden, a familiar female voice rang.

"Um... I'm sorry, President Hanover. I didn't mean to bother you. It's just that since I have an opportunity to be here today, I wanted to look for you. I've admired you for a long time, and I knew that you've been single. I didn't dare to speak hastily before, but I want to take this opportunity today to ask you to givea chance." Vera's eyes widened incredulously.

If she hadn't heard wrongly, the voice... was clearly Helen's, whom she chatted with earlier.

The famous Helen actually... admired Quill? She stood there in a daze as she found the news extremely surprising. How could this be? However, it made sense as she continued to think about it. Women would throw themselves at someone as outstanding as Quill. A celebrity was also an ordinary person with desires. It's only normal for her to act so too.

What about Quill? Helen was outstanding too. She was beautiful, and she had the best face and body. Compared to her, they were heaven and earth.

He would probably be moved by being confessed by such a beautiful woman.

Vera's heart ached, and her nose felt a little sour as she thought about this.

What was she thinking? Even if Quill liked someone like Helen, it had nothing to do with her.

She had already decided to forget about him, hadn't she? Just Vera's imagination ran wild, a cold, masculine voice rose.

"Since you know that I've always been single, then you probably shouldn't have said these words totoday," Quill spoke.

Helen was stunned for a moment. But she was a celebrity, after all, so she was good at managing her reaction. She gave a faint smile. "Maybe things could be different after today? You've been single for a long time, and I wanted to give myself a chance too. If I didn't give it a try, then I would have nothing." Helen explained. What she said was true. There were many things in life we should take our chances on.

She was fearless.

It was also what Vera had thought before suffering any setbacks. She even thought that as long as you wanted it, you could get it by working hard. However, she had forgotten one thing. He had never belonged to her.

Now, Helen was in the sposition as her.

"Things wouldn't be any different." Quill looked indifferent as his gaze turned cold. This particular goddess, for many people, didn't look special to him at all.

Helen looked at his handsface, and her lips moved slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Quill suddenly interrupted her in a cold voice.

"How long do you plan to keep hiding and eavesdrop on us?" What? Helen initially couldn't comprehend his words, and it took her quite stto react. She instantly becnervous and began to look around.

Could there be paparazzi around? That was impossible. Everyone at the party was acquaintances, and this was the Ocean Villa. None of the paparazzi in the North City would dare to infiltrate this private area. As soon as they were caught, they could get sued for going against the law.

As soon as Vera heard Quill's words, she was so afraid that her whole body instantly tensed up.

What... What did Quill mean by that? "How long do you plan to keep hiding and eavesdrop on us?" Had he realized she was eavesdropping? How could he have noticed her when his back was facing her when she walked out? Could it be that eyes grew on his back? "Are you waiting forto drag you out of there?" There was a hint of threat in his faint voice. A sudden sense ofcoldness suddenly swept over Vera's body.

She dared not waste any more time. Quill seemed to be a calm person and rarely lost his temper. However, it wasn't easy to get along with him at all.

She took a deep breath and braced herself as she walked out.

Upon seeing Vera, Helen was stunned but eventually dropped her worries.

That was great! She thought the paparazzi had cto sneak pictures of her. Fortunately, it was Vera.

Vera walked towards the both of them with a depressed look. She stopped at a distance, and she repeatedly bit her lower lip.

"I... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just happened to be in the bathroom. When I cout, I saw both of you having a conversation. I... I didn't want to interrupt you." Vera explained.

She explained her situation clearly so that Quill wouldn't misunderstand her and thought that she was pestering him.

Quill frowned slightly as his eyes fell on her face.

Vera's scalp tightened. She quickly lowered her eyes to the ground; she dared not look at Quill at all.

"It doesn't matter," Helen said and smiled frankly, without any embarrassment of being rejected. She even cover to hold Vera's shoulder and said, "I heard that someone was eavesdroppin thought it was the paparazzi Fortunately, it's you. But you should've just walked out the next time; you shouldn't feel so nervous." Vera could only nod awkwardly.

An uneasy aura emanated from all around. Although Helen wasn't embarrassed at all, Vera was still extremely embarrassed.

She couldn't be bothered with it had it been someone else confessing to another person. However, the person was Quill. What was she supposed to do? Vera hurriedly spoke as she thought about this.

"Um... you guys should continue your conversation. I... I... I'll excuse myself," Vera said with a blushed face. As a result of her nervousness, Vera couldn't even speak fluently and stuttered like a child learning to speak. After speaking clumsily, Vera turned to Helen and gave a polite smile. Soon after, she was prepared to leave. At that moment, Quill suddenly spoke.

"Hold on." Vera stopped, and her heart trembled. Was he about to blher? Otherwise... He wouldn't have called her out for eavesdropping.

However, after waiting for a long

time, Quill still didn't say anything. Helen didn't know the reason either so she just looked at Quill. When she saw Quill staring at Vera, she blinked, feeling that she suddenly understood something.

"I believe the both of you have something to talk about. I'll excuse myself then." Helen said.

After that, Helen left casually. Her agent was waiting for her not far away. When he saw her coming, he scolded her in a whisper.

"Honestly, how could you say such a afraid of of thing at a place like this? Aren't you being recorded? If this gets onto the internet, you're going to be in big trouble." Helen's agent said.

"Why would I be in trouble? Is it wrong for a woman to pursue a man? This world is really mad. Are only Mad men allowed to pursue women?" Helen rebutted. "You're really drivingcrazy. Let's go!" The agent angrily said.

Before they left, Helen could not help but look back at Vera and Quill with a deep gaze.

Vera saw her gaze and felt numb. None of them said a single word.

Quill had asked her to stay, but he remained silent. Vera only felt a stare from above her head that didn't move away.

She was extremely nervous, so she took the initiative to break the silence.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop," Vera apologized once more.
