Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 988

Minerva and Maddox came back and were changing their shoes when Minerva noticed Vera's shoes were thrown messily on the floor. She figured that she had probably gone out and just came back.

She sighed lightly, bent down, placed the shoes back on the shelf, and then went in.

Maddox and Quill followed behind.

Quill suddenly thought of something and said to Minerva, "I'll pack up my things and head out later. I have a flight to catch tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She asked in surprise, "You're going to leave tonight? Do you need to leave this early just to catch a flight for tomorrow?"

Her face was filled with reluctance as she spoke.

It wasn't every day that Quill was able to see her, and because so many things had happened, she wasn't able to spend a lot of time with him. She didn't even get the chance to bring him around the area.

Now that everything had settled, she did not expect Quill to be heading back so soon.

And he wasn't even going to stay a night longer.

Seeing the reluctance on his younger sister's face, Quill looked at her lovingly and reached out his hand to stroke her head.

"You don't want me to leave?"

Maddox's eyes flashed and he narrowed his eyes dangerously When he saw Quill's action.

Although he knew that Quill was Minerva's older brother, Quill was still another man in his eyes. To caress his wife's head so intimately, the action...

It made him very unhappy.

However, despite Maddox's unhappiness.

He swallowed them down when he saw how reluctant his wife was to leave her brother.

He was her family nonetheless.

Before Minerva was married to Maddox, her family members were the ones she relied on. Besides, Quill was going to leave the next day, why should he be bothered about this?

"Quill, you've only been here for a few days. There were too many things to deal with, I didn't even get to entertain you well..."

In her heart, she was really sorry.

"Silly girl," Quill smiled faintly. "I'm your older brother. It's fine if you don't have the time. Besides... I've seen how your family has reunited.

My trip here was not in vain."

After that, he retracted his hand and said, "Well, let's go in."

Sam was still standing in the same spot. Soon, he heard footsteps, and then Minerva and the others came in.

Three pairs of eyes fell onto Sam.

All three of them began to form their own thoughts when they saw the slap mark imprinted on Sam's face. Minerva was shocked for a moment and asked, "Did something happen? Sam...your face.."

Sam snapped out of his daze when he realized there was a slap mark on his face.

Even though he was a man and he had tough skin, the slap Vera gave him was so hard that he still felt a stinging pain.

Quill stared at the slap mark and his gaze slowly turned dark.

"Nothing happened," Sam opened his mouth and explained softly. His gaze flashed past Quill and both of their eyes locked for a moment before breaking off again.

Minerva was skeptical when Sam said nothing had happened. However, Sam was worried that they would misunderstand, which would consequently make Vera angry, so he simply added, "Someone got too drunk."

Vera did forbid him from telling anyone what happened that night, but he couldn't hide the slap mark on his face.
