Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 1427

After they came to an agreement, and Oliva was quite pleased with the result, she no longer fussed over the matter but went to bed with Sam. This time, Olivia fell asleep very quickly, no longer bothered.

On the contrary, because of the ordeal, Sam was no longer able to go back to sleep. His head was filled with all that she had said to him earlier. As well as that woman.

"She'd be putting on a wedding dress, walking down the aisle, marrying the man she loved so dearly the next day. She must be the happiest person alive right now." Sam thought.

The happiest thing in life was probably knowing the person you love loved you back, and the two of you could spend the rest of your lives together.

But what about him?

Would he and Ollie be able to spend the rest of their lives together?

Finally, it was the day of the wedding!

As Vera didn't have a good sleep the night before, and she'd have to get dressed up early the next day. She could barely keep her eyes open when she got up. Seeing her so, the makeup artist, Eileen, immediately exclaimed.

"Mrs. Hanover, what did you do last night? Why are your dark circles so obvious?"

Hearing that, she was jolted awake. Looking at herself in the mirror, her dark circles were terrifyingly obvious.

"Oh no, oh my!"

She had clearly fallen asleep not long after her mother had talked her into doing so, so why were her dark circles still so bad? How was she supposed to walk down the aisle? Would Quill mind?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Eileen comforted her when she saw how distressed Vera was. "Don't worry, Mrs. Hanover. Nothing a little makeup won't fix. You'll still look gorgeous." "But you can still tell if you look close enough, won't you? I knew I should've slept earlier." she sighed.

Eileen continued to reassure her, "Relax, Mrs. Hanover. It's a common thing between brides-to-be. You're excited, nervous, and all that. I get it. I have a friend who can't even sleep if she has to meet her clients the next day or go on a business trip, let alone getting married."

Just like that, Vera's attention was diverted, "That serious? She must have it hard, doesn't she?"

"She does, but there's no other way, is there? She can only try to adjust her mindset. I have to say, Mrs. Hanover, your skin is amazing. Let's put on a sheet mask first. It'll be better for your makeup later."

"Alright."

Eileen had her own hydration formula, so she applied some on Vera's face mask before putting it on her. "I'll apply some cream to help reduce your dark circles. Why don't you take a nap in the meantime? You'll feel more energized during the wedding."

"Okay."

The masks felt cooling on Vera's face, and since the heater was on in the room, she felt quite cozy.

So it didn't take long for Vera to fall asleep.

Eileen then said to her assistant, Ingrid, as they left Vera alone. "Let her sleep for a while. It will take around 20 minutes. Go and find some breakfast; best if it's something light, easy to digest, and doesn't have a strong smell."

"Okay." Ingrid then did as Eileen instructed.

Eileen then got all the makeup out and ready.

Two other makeup artists were hired to help

Vera's parents with their makeup. David was originally against the idea, but when he heard many people from the upper class would be attending, he agreed to it, thinking he shouldn't embarrass his daughter.

Their dressing room was on a different floor from Vera's.

Mabie and David chatted as they had their makeup done.

"Say, David, I'm sure you never thought you'd be putting on makeup in your life, do you?" Mabie teased her husband with her eyes closed.

Hearing that, David's expression

turned awkward as he replied, "Of

course. This is the only time I'll ever put on makeup. Who would've thought she'd be married to Quill? Even think I'm dreaming, never mind Vivy. Is this actually a dream, and I'd wake up from it?"

"Bah, what are you talking about? Why are the two of you like this? Are you seeking death?"

The two makeup artists kept

congratulating the elderly couple

saying how lucky their daughter was

to marry into such a good family, she would definitely live a good life

in the future, and things like that.

Mabie was on cloud nine to hear that, so she said to them, "Thank you. You guys should join the reception. After all this, I'll give you guys a big tip."

The makeup artists thought they'd only come to do their job, but after hearing Mabie's words, they were elated.

"Thank you. May your daughter live a happy and harmonious married life."

There was laughter everywhere, so no one noticed a sneaky figure entering Vera's dressing room.

Fifteen minutes later.

Mabie and David's makeup were finally done. While Mabie kept teasing her husband, she also suggested checking on Vera.

David only had one daughter, so she was the apple of his eye. He nodded, agreeing to Mabie's suggestion as they headed out.

As soon as they were out, they could smell something burning.

The wedding was held in a six-star hotel, so they frowned when they smelled the scent of burnt food. "Hey, what's the matter with this hotel? Why does it smell like

something's burning? Had they hired a bad cook?"

Hearing that, David couldn't help but laugh and said, "Even Vera's cooking is much better than this." "Of course."

Mabie was very proud of her daughter's cooking.

They laughed as they asked for directions to Vera's dressing room. After that, they walked upstairs.

Just as they were about to go upstairs, a series of chaotic footsteps traveled to their ears, and several people ran down.

Seeing their panicked faces, Mabie and David couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

"Sir, Madam, what are you going upstairs for? One of the rooms has caught on fire. I heard it's quite bad, and we don't know if it will spread. You guys should leave immediately."

"Fire?" A trace of confusion flashed in the couple's eyes. They looked at each other and then rushed up.

Seeing that they didn't heed his words but ran up instead, he asked, "Sir, Madam, what are you doing? One of the rooms has caught on fire. Don't go; it's dangerous."

Mabie replied in a hurry, "My daughter is still having her makeup done there. We have to get her."

It took no time for them to disappear from the young man's sight, so he begrudgingly let them do so.

At the same time, the hotel's fire alarm rang.

"Has anyone called 911 ?"

"I don't know. Maybe someone did."

Everyone was all talk until all of them finally took their phones out to call the emergency line.

Vera was awoken by the smoke, choking. She was somewhat suffocating in her sleep, so she opened her eyes.

The mask was still on her face, but she didn't know why there was suddenly a raging fire in the room, and it was inches away from her.
