Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

With the address Ernest had given her, Yulia went to visit Vera.

When Quill realized that Yulia had come, he immediately tried to get rid of her. "Vivy is pregnant, so it's better if you canother time, Miss Maxwell." After hearing Quill address her so formally, Yulia realized that he no longer had any affection for her. Not only was there no love between them, but Quill also acted as if their families were complete strangers to one another. As the thought crossed her mind, Yulia felt extremely upset.

If Yuria hadn't done all the things she did in the past, or if she didn't cback, then she would still have a place in Quill's heart, right? Unfortunately, it was too late. No one could change the past, just like she couldn't change the fact that her parents were dead.

Seeing that Quill was about to leave, Yulia recalled what Ernest said to her and blocked Quill's path.

"Wait a minute." Quill stopped and looked at her coldly. "What is it?" "I..." There was a lump in Yulia's throat, and she found it hard to speak. She managed to eke out swords after a while. "I'm here to apologize to Vera. I know you don't want to seeright now, but I sincerely want a chance to meet her. Givean opportunity to redeem myself, okay?" Yulia's tone was pleading, and she looked at Quill with a hopeful gaze.

Alas, Quill's tenderness was reserved only for Vera, so he rejected Yulia's suggestion.

"There's no need for an apology. Just take care of your own company and don't bother us in the future. That will be the best thing you could do for us right now." Yulia was rather disappointed upon hearing that.

It seemed that Quill really would not let her see Vera.

Just as Yulia lowered her head in despair, a soft voice cfrom behind Quill.

"Quill, let her in." Hearing this, Yulia raised her head and looked past Quill, only to find Vera standing behind him.

She had more or less recovered recently. She wasn't as pale as before and was starting to get a little color back in her cheeks. A thick shawl was draped over her shoulders and her feet were ensconced in fluffy slippers. She seemed well-taken care of.

Quill's cold gaze softened as he looked at Vera, and he walked over to her quickly.

"Why did you cdownstairs? Didn't I ask you to stay in the room?" Vera felt rather exasperated as Quill cto hold her arm. He had been taking very good care of her, monitoring her diet and attire. He even restricted Vera's movements, and he didn't allow her to leave the house. If Vera needed to go somewhere, then he would follow her.

In short, Quill was traumatized after what happened at the wedding banquet. He was afraid that something would happen to her if she was out of his sight.

On the other hand, Vera couldn't help but think of the twhen Quill didn't love her, comparing it to how he doted on her now. Previously, he was cold to her, and he barely spoke to her too. However, it was different now.

As the saying goes, what goes around, comes around.

"I'm fine. I'm going to be bored to death stuck inside my room. I heard a noise downstairs, so I cto check." Quill recalled what Vera said earlier and his expression turned gloomy. "I'll take you back upstairs." However, Vera stopped him and shook her head.

"I don't want to go back upstairs." Quill curled his lips in displeasure as he said unhappily, "I don't want you to see her." Although he knew that Yulia had no part in what happened, Quill couldn't be sure that Yulia didn't have any ill intentions toward Vera. If Yulia hurt Vera, he would go berserk.

"It'll be fine. She just wants to see me." Vera bit her lip gently, then whispered in his ear, "She saved my life before. Yulia's not a bad person, she won't hurt me." However, Quill wasn't having any of it. "People change. You guys aren't friends." "I know, but she is a Maxwell. I can tell that she means no harm. If she wants to hurt me, she wouldn't have saved me." That was one of the reasons why Vera did not tell Quill about the incident earlier.

She was traumatized by the incident, but Yulia had saved her life then.

Although Vera had no idea that Jasper was behind it, she felt that Yulia wasn't a bad person if she was willing to release Vera.

It was hard to be the villain in this situation.

Yulia was a good person, and she must have had a moral conundrum when she had to do those things.

Vera trusted her own judgment.

"She's already here, and she's begged you for a chance to see me. Just let her cin." Quill fixed Vera with a steady stare as if he was thinking about something. Vera knew that he was still worried, so she said, "I'll be fine, Quill. I can take care of myself." "Do you really have to see her?" Quill asked.

Vera nodded.

In the end, Quill gave in.

Yulia was finally let into the house, and both of them sat on the sofa. At first, Quill wanted to listen in on their conversation, but Vera shooed him away After that, he instructed two servants to keep an eye on the two women and ensure Vera's safety.

After Quill walked away, Yulia smiled bitterly and said, "He really takes care of you, huh?" Hearing this, Vera was slightly stunned, then she said, "It wasn't like this before. I have your friend to thank for making Quill like this." Yulia's friend? Yulia pondered for a moment.

Yulia sucked in a breath. "Do you mean Jasper?"

"Yeah." Vera nodded and continued, "I've been reading up on the news lately, so I know who the real culprit was A little further digging showed that he was once one of your many suitors." Yulia didn't say anything in reply. "He was the one behind the incident at the coffee shop, wasn't he?" Yulia lowered her gaze. "Yeah, it was him. Jasper toldthat he was going to make his move after you went to the bathroom, and that scared me, so..." "So, you cto saveright away?" "That's right." "Thank you." At that, Yulia raised her head suddenly to look at Vera.

"Thank you for stopping him back then. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known what to do." Yulia felt a lump form in her throat as Vera looked at her with sincere gratitude. It took a while for her to speak again.

"You don't blme for what happened?"

"Why should I blyou?" "Jasper was behind the arson incident at the hotel too, l'im surelyou must've thought that I told him to do it, right? Then, he can take the fall for me."

"You're not that kind of person, are O you? Although Thaven't known you for a long time, Loaix see that you like O Quill very much, and yet you've shown a lot of restraint. I don't think I would have fared much better if I were y you. There are sthings I don't like about you, but that's because we are technically enemies."
