Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1498

Mabie initially wanted to raise the twins and help Vera out. However, Vera would feel sorry for her mother if she did that, so she did not agree to it.

Nonetheless, Mabie pitied her daughter and also wanted to cuddle her grandsons. Therefore, she visited Vera nearly everyday. David stayed at the restaurant to handle things while she was out.

After some time, the staff in the restaurant got used to the work and were able to run the store on their own.

Plus, business was booming. Mabie was able to hire a few more staff members. Then, she could focus on taking care of her daughter and her two grandsons.

"I wanted to help you of my own accord. Your husband shouldn't slack because of it."

Most men were the same. They fathered children, but never fulfilled their responsibilities as a father. They rarely held the children and wouldn't take care of them well. If they were roused by the children crying at night, they would even shout at their wives, "Do you even know how to handle a baby?"

After that, they would fall back asleep, totally unbothered about their wives' suffering.

Because of that, more and more women suffered from postpartum depression.

When Vera was pregnant, she read many articles like that online. Most of them were written by women complaining that their husbands were useless. They would shout at them instead of helping them to take care of the children. Since they had to stay at home to take care of the kids, they did not make any income and were treated as slaves.

The women would forget how much suffering they went through everyday, unable to sleep or eat properly. They had to bathe the children, clean them, coax them to sleep, and so on. They themselves were extremely tense from the stress. If their husbands weren't understanding, it really drove them mad.

At that time, after reading those articles, she felt strongly that women had to have their own careers and earn their own income. Otherwise, they would be helpless if they were to meet such problems.

Fortunately, Quill was a good husband, even better than she had imagined.

At that juncture, she took the initiative to circle her arms around his neck and snuggle her head into

his embrace.

"Then you should come back from work earlier so that you can rest more."

She was afraid that he couldn't bear it physically anymore. His dark circles were looking bad recently. It was just like that time when he was going in and out of the country to meet with his sister. The thing was, he never complained about his tiredness. Even when he was on the brink of exhaustion, he never so much as frowned.

That man was really too hard on himself.

"It's okay." He put his arm around his wife's shoulder. Her concern lit a warmth in his heart. He smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'm doing fine."

She raised her head in confusion. "Why are you always like this? You're being the same as when I first met Minerva. You didn't even grumble about how tired you were until she went back to her country. You're a human, not a robot. There's no need for you to bear all the pain and suffering alone. And..." She asked him something that she had been curious about for a while. "The age difference between you and Minerva... Why does it seem a little strange?"

When she first heard Quill's stories about his childhood, she was overcome with sorrow for him, so she hadn't given much thought to the details.

It wasn't until one day when she and Minerva were talking and the topic of age came up, that she realized that Quill and Minerva seemed to be a little too far apart in age.

It wasn't a huge age gap conventionally; it was just that it didn't match up with the dates that he told her.

Nevertheless, she hadn't had the chance to ask him about it at that time. After she became pregnant, she would sleep for much longer hours, so she never managed to bring it up.

Now that she thought of it, Vera wanted to stick her nose into the matter.
