Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1390

Surprised by her sudden question, Ernest fell silent for a moment and did not answer. The warmth on his face earlier disappeared, leaving only coldness.

The warmth in the room had also vanished.

Yulia realized it, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ernest. I'm in such a bad mood that I keep spouting nonsense. You should go back."

"I shouldn't have made such a case out of you. You took care of me so much back then. I went overboard."

Seeing her remorse and upset, Ernest thought he was rather harsh as well. She must be heartbroken watching someone she had loved her whole life marrying someone else. Moreover, her parents had passed away. She had nothing left. It was already remarkable she could still maintain her composure despite being on the verge of a breakdown.

After all, she grew up with him, so Ernest didn't want to argue with her too much. He sighed and said, "I can let it slide, but don't bring her up anymore. You should know how much she means to me."

"Yes, I won't do that again. I was wrong just now, so please go back and let me have some peace and quiet. I'll be fine after I calm down."

"With your current situation, I'm afraid something will happen if I let you be alone. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll stay here with you for the next few days."

Ernest insisted on staying, and Yulia didn't continue to chase him away either but sat on the bed while he sat next to her, both quiet.

Just like that, they spent the rest of the afternoon in peace and quiet.

In the evening, Ernest asked the servants at home to bring them some bland food. Yulia didn't have much appetite, but she forced herself to eat some for the sake of her health.

As they ate, Yulia kept hesitating to speak but only looked at Ernest in the end.

After seeing her repeat a few times, Ernest finally said, "You can just speak your mind; no need to look at me like that. As long as it has nothing to do with my wife, I won't get mad."

Hearing that, Yulia was relieved. However, since it had to do with Quill, she was still cautious when she spoke.

"Ernest, how long have Quill and Vera been

dating?"

Hearing that, Ernest squinted reflexively and said, "Why do you ask?"

Yulia mumbled, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be mad as long as my questions didn't have to do with your late wife? Then why do you care why I ask? Am I even not allowed to?"

"You can ask," Ernest took a bit of his food and thought for a while before he finally said, "You can ask, but aren't you just asking for pain? The duration of their relationship has nothing to do with how much they love each other. Did you not see the ring on Vera's finger?"

It was precisely because she saw it that she asked.

Of course, Yulia kept that thought to herself.

"I just want to know how she managed to successfully capture Quill's heart, that's all. I've loved him for so so many years, yet my feelings were never requited at all."

"Then why do you like Quill?" Ernest asked in return.

Yulia was stunned.
