Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1220

"Huh? Message?"

Quill pursed his lips and took out his phone. He pressed it a few times. "It's dead."

The phone in his hand was indeed off. Vera took it and said, "I'll charge it for you then. Honestly, why don't you fully charge your phone before you go out? It's not a good habit. Did you bring a power bank? If not, I have two. I can give you one!"

Actually, Quill had all these things. After all, he was an extremely disciplined person. He would charge his phone every night and made sure it would last him the entire day. But... Vera stayed in the same room with him last night, so Quill... had completely forgotten about it.

He seemed to be gradually losing all that he was proud of when he was with her.

This was not good.

Quill reached out and pinched her fair cheeks. "Sure, I'll leave my phone to you in the future."

"Okay!" Vera didn't mind at all. She put the phone into her pocket directly and tried to sneak back into the room. He held her collar when she walked past him.

"Now that the phone issue has been solved, shouldn't we talk about the other problem?"

"The other problem?" Vera asked as Quill still held onto her collar.

What problem?

Vera's eyes widened. "Do you have something to tell me?"

Quill looked at her with a faint smile.

"Where were you squatting?" Quill asked.

Vera remained silent.

Vera felt something was amiss right after hearing his question. She guiltily avoided Quill's gaze and coughed softly. "I... I was just squatting..."

"You were just squatting?"

"Yeah!" Vera nodded vigorously. "You weren't in the room, so I came out to wait for you. There was nowhere else to wait, so I found a random place to squat. I looked a little silly, didn't I? Hahaha, I won't squat like this next time then."

Vera laughed and tried to cover it up.

However, Quill was not easy to fool. As Vera laughed awkwardly, Quill stared at her with a slight smile, causing her to feel rather guilty. She stopped smiling and bit her lower lip awkwardly.

Vera had intended to play dumb until the end. But now that Quill was staring at her with such a gaze, she lost all confidence and could only look at him pitifully.

"Fine, I admit I deliberately squatted there. Happy?" She finally admitted. Her head drooped as she explained, "I didn't see you when I woke up, and you didn't leave me a message. So I went next door to see if you were there. Then..."

Vera paused at that; she looked to be hesitating. Thinking back, she felt something wasn't right with Lauren.

Quill had gone out, but why did Lauren pretend that there was someone else in her room? Had she deliberately wanted Vera to misunderstand? Or...

Vera didn't want to think any further. She suddenly looked at Quill firmly and said, "I want to confirm something. Can you go back to the room and wait for me?"

Vera's eyes were clear. Quill saw that she had made up her mind, so he naturally didn't object. He asked, "You sure you don't need me to stay?"
