Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 1047
She wanted to talk to Quill about Vera?
Maddox furrowed his brows. He even tightened his grip on Minerva's hand. He said, "Didn't I tell you not to meddle with other people's relationships? What? Are you trying to be a matchmaker?" For some reason, he suddenly thought of his assistant, Sam.
Sam seemed to have been helping him deal with the company's affairs these days. He had no idea whether he was seizing the opportunity or not.
"No, I just want to talk to him about her. I'm not trying to be a matchmaker."
"Then, you don't have to worry about it." He puckered his lips. After a brief pause, he said, "Remember what I told you just now? If your brother has feelings for her, he would act on his own." She protested, "But..."
"You're his sister, so he will listen to you. If you say something to change his mind, are you going to be responsible for the consequences?"
"So, are you still planning on talking about it to your brother?"
She suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at him. She asked seriously, "Do you mean what you've said?"
"What?"
"Does Sam like Vera? Is this why you don't want me to set Vera and Quill up?"
He raised his brows at her words. He had asked her to stop because she was pregnant. He did not want her to worry about other people's relationships. After all, everyone had their own fate. Moreover, everything had its cause and effect. It was not a good thing for her to intervene in this matter.
He wasn't planning on helping Sam. He had already tried his best to set them up while they were abroad. However, it seemed that Vera did not have her eyes set on him.
Hence, naturally, there was nothing he could do to force him nor was he planning on forcing him.
If Maddox really had to demand for one thing or one person, that person had to be Minerva.
At the thought of this, he reached out and lightly tapped her forehead.
"What are you thinking about? What does this have to do with others?"
"It doesn't matter. Then why don't you let me intervene?"
He stared at the fair skinned woman in front of him, he then raised his hand and wrapped her scarf tightly around her to prevent her from catching a cold. He spoke in a gentle voice.
"Do you think we've spent much time together ever since we returned to the country?"
"Huh?" She did not understand why he was asking this. "What do you mean?"
"Tell me what you think."
She thought about it carefully. They did indeed hadn't much time together after returning to the country. Each had their own matters to attend to. The two of them really hadn't spent much time together, except for when they got home from work at night...
They were usually busy with their own work during the day.
She coughed lightly at the thought of this. Then, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"We don't even have much time to spend with each other yet you're willing to spare your time for others?" He approached her slowly as he spoke. His thin lips were almost sticking to her forehead. When he spoke, his soft lips moved slightly.
She suddenly understood what he meant. He was hoping that she would cherish the time they had together..
"When we reunite with Beanie, we will not have much alone time left."
"Alright, that's enough. You can stop talking," she interrupted him. She felt that she should dismiss the idea of going up to the study to talk to Quill about Vera after having this conversation with Maddox. Moreover, she felt that she really should not meddle with Vera's affairs after being lectured by him..
Previously, she had no intentions of meddling, but this time... She had no idea what was going on. She just felt the need to talk to Quill about Vera.
At that thought, she could only say, "I know what to do, but I've already asked Quill to wait for me in the study. I have to go up there and talk to him before I can leave."
"Good girl." He pinched her cheek. "I'll give you five minutes. I'll wait for you outside."
"Alright."
Maddox released his hold on her and headed outside. Minerva turned around and made her way to the study to meet up with Quill.
On the way to the study, she kept
thinking whether she should say something to ease the
awkwardness. After all, she told him that she had something to tell him. She made it sound like it was something very important. However, now, she decided not to talk to him about Vera.
So what else could she talk to him about?
What was she supposed to say if her brother asked her?
She was in a dilemma as she tried to come up with a solution. She was fast approaching the study.
She stepped forward and hesitated for a moment before she reached out and knocked on the door. "Come in."
A cold and calm voice came through the door. She pushed open the door and saw Quill sitting at the desk with his laptop opened. There was also a stack of documents beside him.
She took a quick glance at the stack of documents and couldn't help but ask, "Hey Quill, you're still working at this hour?"
He reached out and closed his laptop. He said, "Yes, it's just some trivial company matters that needs to be taken care of. I'm nearly done."
"Quill, you're very hardworking, but it's after office hours, so you should take this opportunity to rest, not work. Health is wealth."
"You're telling me?" His face was gentle. His voice was not as cold as before. "Weren't you pregnant when you ran the company and now you're asking me to rest?" She was speechless.
She did not expect that he would tease her. She coughed slightly and smiled awkwardly.
"You mentioned just now that you need to talk to me. What's up?" He asked as he gently tapped his fingers on the table.
Minerva did not expect that he
would suddenly ask her this
question. She definitely wasn't
planning to talk to him about Vera anymore. She could only talk about other things, but she did not have anything else to talk to him about. In the end, she decided to talk to him about Maddox's situation.
She told Quill about how he was trying to recall his memories.
Sure enough, when Quill heard this, he became serious. "If that's the case, I'd suggest you find a doctor."
"Find a doctor? I think so too, but... he likes to pretend that everything is fine. I know that he is suffering in private. I've never experienced the pain, so I have no idea how it feels."
"This thing may or may not be
serious. If he recovers naturally, then it's fine. However, given his current situation 'd suggest that he seeks treatment. Minerva, you are pregnant now. You must not wo about these things. I'll talk to him another day."
"Hey? You want to talk to him?"
She thought about it for a while and felt that it was feasible. If Quill advised Maddox to seek treatment, perhaps he would not have any scruples. However, given if she had asked him, he definitely would not listen to her.
She nodded her head at the thought of this.
"Quill, I'll leave this matter to you. But... You have to take care of yourself. As for work, you should put it aside first. Also, you're not getting any much younger. Don't you have any plans?"
He chuckled and interrupted her. It was as if he knew what she was going to say next.
"You know that I'm not getting any much younger, so it's a waste of time. Over the years, I've never had much luck with love. It doesn't matter whether I'm able to find my other half or not."
