Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 946

Minerva would misunderstand...

This sentence repeatedly appeared in Vera's mind.

She couldn't think of anything else.

How could it be possible? She must have been mistaken.

She was trying her best to comfort herself, but Quill had observed that her face had turned pale as if she had heard something devastating.

In the past when he rejected her, she did not look as upset as she was now.

As he remembered what had happened, he realized that it was very likely that she had misunderstood what he had just said.

Regardless of whether it was necessary for him to know, he still asked her with a frown, "What are you thinking?"

Clearly, it would have been better if he hadn't asked. His question made Vera feel guilty. She bit her lower lip and tried to suppress the tumbling emotions in her heart.

"You... said just now that... Minerva will... misunderstand. What do you mean by that?" Vera stuttered.

She bit her lower lip nervously.

Upon hearing this, Quill frowned.

She had indeed misunderstood what he meant.

Fortunately, he tried to clarify what he meant.

Quill shifted the bag in his hand to his other side and said indifferently, "Minerva is my only family member. If there is any progress in my love life, she would definitely be the one who will care about it the most. Since you're her good friend, I don't want her to misunderstand that there's something between us, or even think of a way to set us up."

With this explanation, she would definitely be able to understand, wouldn't she?

After listening to him, Vera breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt as if there was a huge hole in her heart.

Fortunately, things were not as she expected.

It's just that... Quill really didn't have any feelings for her at all. He was afraid that Minerva would try to set them up again.

She lowered her eyes slowly, and she felt as if all her energy had left her.

"Alright, I understand. I'll go buy a coat now, and I'll return this back to you."

After that, she quickly turned around and walked away.

This time, she walked very fast. When she saw a women's clothing store, she quickly went into it.

Just like how she waited outside for Quill, he did the same thing. He stood outside the store while carrying his bag.

A few moments passed.

A female shop assistant came out with a black coat in her hand. She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on Quill as if she was trying to confirm something.

He noticed that she was holding his coat, so he walked over to her.

"What's the problem?"

"Sir, is this your coat?"

He nodded and said, "Yes. Has she bought anything yet?"

The shop assistant smiled with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

"The thing is, that lady asked us to help her give the coat back to you."

Quill was silent for a while, then reached out to take the coat.

"Please wait a moment, I'll take a bag for you to put your coat in," she offered as she felt that it was inconvenient for him to hold his coat in his arms.

He didn't refuse. She took a bag and finished packing the coat for him, but Vera had not come out yet. The shop assistant's face seemed to be a little hesitant. Quill glanced at her and saw that she wanted to say something to him.

"Sir, the lady inside said that she wants to hang out here a little longer. She also said that... you should go back first."

He contemplated for a moment what he had just heard, then he nodded and said, "Alright."

After thinking for a while longer, he said, "Tell her to go back early, or her friends will worry about her."

"Okay, sir. I'll pass on the message to that lady."

Soon after, he left with his bag without looking back.

When the shop assistant came back, Vera was sitting on a stool in the fitting room in a daze, wearing a newly bought coat. When she saw the shop assistant coming back, Vera looked expectantly at her.

The shop assistant told her with an embarrassed expression.
