Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Ernest, please stop it. I beg you. If you continue, I'll dig a hole and bury myself in it." Vera said.

She really didn't think that she would bump into Ernest on a random trip to the drug store, much less that he would actually deliver the things she had left behind to the restaurant, or even tease her. "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a pregnancy test kit?" Hearing him say that, Vera couldn't stand it anymore. Did he know he was a man? Wouldn't he feel embarrassed at mentioning it so frequently in front of a woman? Vera felt she was really going crazy, but she didn't know how to stop him. However, what she was most worried about was whether Ernest would tell Quill about it.

If Quill found out, he would definitely ask her about it.

Vera felt that she had to make it clear to Ernest no matter what. After thinking for a while, Vera sat down in front of him and said, "Ernest, I'll take your delivery today as a good intention. But I don't wish for a third person to know about what happened today. Do you understand what I mean?" "Why? Don't you want to tell him such an important thing?" Ernest asked.

"It's not that I don't want to tell him, but Ernest, I didn't buy them for myself, but my friend." Vera began to lie. But it was obvious Ernest did not believe her.

"Your friend? Can you tellwho this friend is?" "Oh, Ernest, why are you asking this? If my friend askedto buy it for her, it means she doesn't want others to know. If she wanted others to know, she wouldn't askto buy. Ernest, don't you think that makes sense?" Hearing this, Ernest raised his eyebrows and said, "You seem to be right, but why does it still feel off for sreason?" "What's off? There's nothing off at all. Don't ask anymore, Ernest," Vera said.

Alright, Ernest could see that she didn't want to talk about it deeply anymore, so he changed his line of questioning, "Do you know why your friend doesn't want others to know?" Vera heaved a sigh of relief. Did that mean Ernest believed her? Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked like that. However, Vera had no reason to refuse such an interrogation. She could only say, "Maybe it's because there are uncertain factors, or maybe she has reasons she doesn't want to tell others. I can understand her." However, all in all, what Vera was most concerned about was whether Ernest would tell Quill about it. She would be done for if he couldn't stop himself or if he didn't understand her underlying words. Vera asked, "I can understand her, so can you understand too, Ernest?" Ernest smiled enigmatically and said, "Who knows, maybe I do." His answer made Vera a little anxious. It was a yes or no question. How could he say maybe? "Vera, it seems that you are very concerned about this friend of yours. Don't worry. Seeing how anxious you are, I will keep this secret for your friend," Ernest said.

"Really?" Vera heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally settled the matter on Ernest's side. He shouldn't say anything more. After receiving Ernest's promise, Vera headed downstairs with the bag. When Mabie cover, she had already stuffed it into her bag and continued to work as if nothing had happened.

When Ernest was about to leave, Vera was still worried. She went to see him off and enjoined him repeatedly. Seeing how nervous she was, Ernest couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

"Alright, I won't break my promise. Don't worry. Even if it is you, I would keep it a secret, let alone your friend. Vera blushed and argued in a whisper, "It's not me." "Alright, I know it's not you. Don't worry; just go back." "Then..." "I won't say anything," Ernest said.

Vera only returned to the restaurant after receiving his repeated reassurance, and he finally managed to leave Without any hesitation, he drove out of the pasta restaurant as soon as he got in the car, for fear that Vera would chase him.

This girl was as stubborn as a mule, yet innocent. Did she think he could be easily fooled? In reality, both of them knew all too well. Since Vera wanted to play dumb, he didn't bother to expose her.

However, at the thought that there were even times when that person couldn't control himself, Ernest found it exceptionally amusing.

So he drove directly to the Hanover Corporation.

Although Ernest rarely cto the Hanover Corporation, everyone knew him because of his handsappearance and well-known reputation. They also knew about his relationship with President Hanover. Hence, when Ernest went there, he only needed to inform the receptionist and take the elevator.

He didn't take the exclusive elevator, but the one the staff usually took.

There was a faint smile on Ernest's lips because he was thinking about what happened earlier. When the elevator door opened, someone walked out.

Ernest took a glance inadvertently and then stopped.

When Yulia walked out with files in her arms, she also looked up inadvertently and made eye contact with the person standing outside.

After looking at each other for about three seconds, Yulia said in surprise, "Ernest?" This voice pulled Ernest's mind back.

At first, he thought he had mistaken her for someone else. But after Yulia called his name, Ernest knew he was right.

"Yulia? Is it really you?" Ernest squinted and sized up Yulia.

It was rare to see her dressed like this, formal and simple. In the past, she was always in a dress, gentle and sweet.

Yulia smiled at him. When she was ready to cout of the elevator, the door was about to close.

Ernest reached out to stop it and then went into the elevator.

"Why are you here? You didn't dress like this to look for Quill, did you? Are Quill, you working here?" Ernest asked as he pressed the floor to the president's office. When Yulia saw the floor number Ernest was pressing, she didn't know how to feel.

When she'd been at work, every tshe took the elevator, she'd wanted to go to his floor to see what he was doing, but.... she dared not. She did not expect that... "Yes, I'm working here," Yulia replied.

"Oh?" Ernest raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "Since when has the daughter of the Maxwell family ended up needing to work at Hanover Corporation? Yulia, you're not here for Quill, are you?" Hearing this, Yulia's expression changed slightly. "Of course not." "Then why are you here?" Ernest asked. X
