Chapter 290
After that, Quill's sister really went missing.
However, Quill couldn't rely on the birthmark to find his sister. He couldn't fulfill his mother's wish.
His mother's dying wish was to find his sister.
Later, he thought that Sylvia was his sister, and he even took her to his mother's tomb. However, he always felt that something was wrong.
It was not until he saw Kimberly that he realized what was wrong.
Perhaps he had found the wrong person from the very beginning. Sylvia was not the sister he was looking for. The person he was looking for was the person in front of him.
Kimberly Shell.
Although there was not enough evidence to confirm that and there was no progress in the investigation, Quill believed that that person in front of him was the sister he had been looking for all this time.
Sometimes he wondered if he was crazy. He only saw Kimberly once. However, he began to ask Juliette to investigate her. He even stared at her like a pervert.
It was because he had a strong feeling that she was the one.
Quill didn't care if he was acting irrationally or not. He just wanted to fulfill his mother's wish. That was what he wished to do since he was a child. He spent his whole life looking for his sister.
He never stopped looking for his sister in the past 20 years. He hadn't been relieved at all after thinking Sylvia was his sister.
Although all the information was correct, it didn't feel right.
"Forget it. It's nothing," Quill pursed his lips and said. He couldn't ask Kimberly the question. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
What if Kimberly was scared away by the question? Or what if Sylvia was alerted if he did so?
Kimberly was stunned. She could tell that Quill was struggling with something.
She thought Quill would ask her the question. Unexpectedly, he didn't ask her in the end.
Kimberly was extremely curious. What kind of question was it? Why would it be so difficult for Quill to ask him? Kimberly asked, "Mr. Hanover, is there anything... inconvenient for you to ask me?"
Hearing that, Quill looked at her. Then, he gave a wry smile and said, "It's nothing. We'd better talk about it later."
Kimberly remained silent.
It seemed that she could not get an answer that day.
Kimberly didn't think too much. She just nodded and said, "Alright."
The dishes were served soon after. However, Quill had no appetite. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then, he said, "I still have something to deal with in my company..." Kimberly said immediately, "Please go ahead then. I'll stay here to finish the meal."
"Okay."
Quill got up and said goodbye to Kimberly. Then, he walked to the cashier and paid the bill before leaving the restaurant.
Sarah and George walked to Kimberly's side immediately as soon as Quill had left.
"Young Madam, what did Mr. Hanover ask? He was acting so secretive, he didn't even want us to hear the question. Also, he seemed to be struggling with something before he left. What happened?"
Sarah kept on asking questions like a curious baby. She looked like a quiet person in the villa. Unexpectedly, she was curious about so many things when she was outside.
Thinking of that, Kimberly smiled and said, "He didn't say anything."
"Are you sure?" Sarah said shockingly, "How is it possible? I clearly saw him saying a lot to you just now. Are you unwilling to tell me because it was something private?"
George stopped her, "Sarah!"
Sarah came back to her senses. Then, she stood up straight and said nothing more.
Kimberly said softly, "It's not like what you think. He did have some questions to ask me. However... it seems that he was not ready to ask the questions yet, so he didn't ask anything in the end. We have been out for quite some time today. The food in this restaurant is superb. Let's sit down and eat together."
Sarah and George were stunned. They said, "How could servants have a meal together with the Madam?"
"Why do we have to differentiate between servants and Madam? Both of you are very kind to me. Also, I can't finish all these by myself. Sarah, ask George to sit down now."
Kimberly was a friendly person. In the end, George and Sarah were convinced by her. They sat down and enjoyed the meal together.
Sarah suddenly hugged Kimberly's arm when they were on the way back. She said, "You're really the best person I've ever seen. Don't worry, I won't tell Young Master Yardley about anything that happened today."
Kimberly didn't reply.
Sarah seemed to be gullible.
"What happened today was nothing. There's nothing special between Quill and me. Our relationship is just like what you saw." Kimberly said.
"Okay!" Sarah nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, we can see that Quill has no romantic feelings for you. He seems to be a gentleman."
"But... he seems to have a special kind of affection for you. I can't tell what it is..."
Hearing that, Kimberly remained silent. She didn't expect that Sarah, who had just met Quill for the first time, also had that kind of thought. Kimberly always thought that she was the only one who thought so, but she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that others would say that she overthinking it.
Kimberly also felt that special kind of affection
It seemed to be a familial kind of affection.
Therefore, she convinced herself that she had that feeling because Quill was Sylvia's older brother whereas Sylvia was her close friend.
Sylvia...
Kimberly became gloomy when she thought of Sylvia.
Sylvia was a problem for Kimberly.
Kimberly didn't know when she could settle the problem. Maddox told her that he would tell her the news. However, she hadn't received any news yet.
Maddox hugged Kimberly and fell asleep that night.
Kimberly's breathing was uneven. The person behind her, whose breathing was also uneven, asked, "What's wrong? Are you not going to sleep yet?"
Kimberly blinked her eyes. All of a sudden, she threw herself into Maddox's arms.
Seeing Kimberly throwing herself into his arms, Maddox couldn't help but smile. He kissed her head and asked, "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah..." Kimberly answered with a lazy tone.
Maddox was silent for a while. All of a sudden, he touched her waist gently.
"Why don't we... do something meaningful since you can't sleep?"
was Kimberly was silent for a moment. Then, she reached out her hand and hit his chest. Maddox smiled and held her tighter, saying, "I'm just kidding. Why are you angry?"
"Stop daydreaming!" Kimberly said grumpily.
"Can't I fantasize once in a while?" Maddox said.
"No way!" Kimberly insisted.
"You're so domineering," Maddox couldn't help but laugh again. But, he liked that...
