After that, Vera didn't move anymore and laid obediently on Quill's body. Quill's voice sounded hoarse and a little tired, probably because he had drunk too much alcohol. She couldn't do anything to help at this time but be as obedient as possible.
Not long after, Vera felt his breathing seemed to have become even.
She blinked and guessed that he had fallen asleep.
No way, she was still laying on him. Had he fallen asleep holding her?
Vera waited for a while longer. As expected, his breathing was still steady.
It seemed that he had really fallen asleep.
At this time, there was a soft knock on the door. Vera was shocked at first and then quickly calmed down. She gently took Quill's hand away from her waist and then walked out.
Mabie stood outside the door and waited for her. She had wanted to go in directly originally. But she remembered they were a couple, and it would make things awkward between her and Vera if she saw something she shouldn't see.
So Mabie stood outside the door and waited for a while. When she heard it was quiet inside, she knocked on the door.
"Mom."
Vera came out, and Mabie could not help looking behind her. "Where is Quill?"
"He... fell asleep." The corner of Vera's mouth twitched, and then she explained, "He fell asleep not long after he entered."
He had already fallen asleep?
Mabie was a little surprised. He could fall asleep so quickly?
"Didn't you say he's good at drinking? He's already asleep? Was he drunk or? "
"He probably had a little too much, and he had a heavy workload recently, so he must be tired," Vera replied casually. Actually, she was only guessing. Quill was already rather tired, having to run the company alone. Although he didn't have to do many trivial things, his work required him to think a lot. In addition, when his workload got heavy, his brain would constantly be in a tired state.
So he fell asleep very quickly.
"Is it? I guess you're right. It's really tiring managing a company. Does that mean you'll have to help him if you marry him?"
This sudden question made Vera's face turn red. She said, "Mom, who know what will happen in the future? We'll talk about it another time."
After that, Vera held Mabie's arm and took her away from the doorway.
Mabie said somewhat discontentedly, "What are you being shy about? He's not young anymore. Does he not have any plans to get married? Even though you two haven't been together for long, you guys must've had the consensus of getting married since the beginning, haven't you? You should think about this seriously. Otherwise, if he suddenly proposes to you, how would you react?"
Propose?
Quill propose to her?
No matter what, Vera couldn't imagine such a scene.
He was such a cold and steady person. How could he propose to her on his knees?
But... It was exactly this cold and steady person who would take the initiative to kiss her after they started dating. Also, when they traveled abroad, his reaction that night was very...
Anyway, it was very different from his usual calm and reserved self.
Vera was too embarrassed to continue letting her imagination run wild. She could only say, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. I know what to do about this matter."
"It looks like you don't know what to do at all. Every time I bring it up, you avoid it. Vivy, you're just playing with other people's feelings, aren't you? You just want to date someone and not get married?"
Vera was speechless.
She was really impressed by Mabie's imagination. What led her to think that way?
