Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1022

Vera spent half an hour in the shower before she finally felt she was clean.

When she came out from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, Mabie was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone while wiping her tears.

"I didn't expect this to happen either. David is really unfortunate. He's still in the ICU. The doctor said he has to be hospitalized for 48 hours for observation..."

Mabie cried as she spoke. When she saw Vera come out of the bathroom in the corner of her eyes, she said in a hurry, "Alright, I need to go. I'm going to hang up now."

Then, she hung up the phone, wiped her tears away, and walked towards Vera. She stood in front of her and scrutinized her.

Her sadness had completely disappeared from her face.

Vera did not find it strange nor did she think that her mother was not concerned about her father. She cried because she was genuinely sad but now, she did not want to ruin the mood when spending her time with Vera.

Her mother had always been clear about what to

love or hate.

One moment she could be gloomy, the next moment, she could be cheerful.

Mabie had taught this to Vera from a very young age. She did not expect that... she would fall for a man deeply in the end.

Of course, Vera did not dare to tell these things to her mother. If she told her, she was sure that she would laugh at her.

"You look much better. What was that just now? The old gatekeeper downstairs would think that I was kind enough to let a beggar into my house."

Vera felt helpless hearing her mother's words. "Mom, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you please stop insulting me now that I'm here?"

Mabie blinked innocently. "What? I've never said anything hurtful to you over the phone. We haven't seen each other in so many years. Are you upset because I criticized you for a bit?"

"Not at all!"

Vera made her way back to her old room. When she opened the closet to pick out some clothes to wear, she nearly fainted when she saw the selection.

The clothes that she thought were fashionable and beautiful five years ago now all looked extremely childish.

Vera was speechless in an instant. She slammed the closet shut.

When Mabie saw this scene, she could not help but roast her daughter, "What are you doing? Why aren't you putting on some clothes? Are you planning on walking out of this house naked?"

After finishing her words, Mabie realised that her daughter was staring right at her. She felt a little uneasy and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Mom, I think your clothes look better than my old clothes. Can I borrow your clothes to wear?"

"What is wrong with you? Why would you want to wear an old lady's clothes?"

"What do you mean by an old lady?" Vera was at a loss for words and rolled her eyes. Her mother wasn't as old as she said. Instead, she looked ageless and liked to pretend that she was young. Therefore, her clothes were rather fashionable, though it was a little different from Vera's usual style.

Nevertheless, Vera felt that her mother's clothes were a much better option compared to what she had in the closet.
