Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 990

The whole room turned quiet the moment Vera spoke.

"No, it's okay, you all don't have to go. Assistant Sorrento can just give me a ride," Quill then stoically said.

Upon hearing this, Minerva subconsciously looked over at Vera.

Her brother's words meant that there wasn't a need for her to go.

Vera's face turned pale and she stood still. She looked at Quill miserably. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She really wanted to send him off but from his words, she knew that he didn't want her to do so.

There probably wasn't any hope for her to send him off.

Looking at her, Minerva, as a woman, felt unbearable for her. Quill then proceeded to take his luggage and did not even spare Vera a single glance. He then said, "Let's go."

He walked out the door without looking back, as if nothing there would be missed by him.

Before Sam followed, he quickly glanced at Vera.

In the end, he sighed silently and then walked out the door.

It was probably better this way. If Quill was more heartless, then Vera might give up faster, Sam thought this in his heart.

Bang!

It was only after the door slammed shut did Vera snap out of her daze. Her eyes were now red and she wanted to chase after them but Minerva stopped her.

"Forget it, don't go."

Vera's tears immediately streaked down her face. "Minerva, why?" She asked tearfully.

Why? Why was it that he didn't even allow her to send him off? Was it really impossible for anything to happen between them?

Minerva wanted to say some comforting words to Vera seeing how distressed she was. If possible, she wanted to share some of her pain.

She couldn't even blame her brother for how he treated her because feelings couldn't be forced.

As Minerva was thinking about how to console her, Vera pushed her away and stormed into her room. Minerva wanted to go after her but Maddox held her wrist.

"Don't go."

But..." "It's probably best if she can have some time alone to calm herself down. After today, hopefully she'll feel better and be able to think things through."

When she heard this, she looked at him in astonishment, "How did you know?"

He smiled and once again reached out his hand to stroke her head gently. "Your brother's intention was obvious enough. If she still doesn't accept that, then she's asking for trouble herself."

Saying that, he continued to stroke her head. Minerva felt strange and looked up.

She suddenly remembered that her brother did the same to her as well.

"What on earth are you doing?" She wanted to pat his hand away. She was already an adult but Maddox was treating her like a child.

"Covering it up with my own touch,"

She was speechless.

It was just as she'd expected. She grabbed his hand in anger and asked, "How is it possible that you're jealous of my brother? Isn't that just unreasonable?"

He smiled; his dark eyes were filled with love for her.

In the next second, his face suddenly changed, and his face convulsed in pain.

"What's wrong?"

Her face turned pale in an instant and her heart skipped a beat. He grabbed her hand and pressed his lips together, trying his best to maintain his composure.
