Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 289

"I've never seen it before."

After saying that, Kimberly handed the two photos back to Quill.

"Mr. Hanover, did you lose this peace pendant? Are you looking for it?"

Quill was disappointed. That clue had been completely cut off. He had no way to figure it out anymore.

"Yes, the peace pendant is with an important person of mine right now, and I'm looking for that person."

Kimberly said, "I see. Why don't you... try to publish this in the newspaper?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Publish it in the newspaper?" Quill thought.

Quill had thought about it before. However, that would only cause more trouble. The Hanover family was an influential family in North City. Therefore, a lot of people with bad intentions would definitely claim that they owned the peace pendant if the photo was published in the newspaper.

After thinking for a while, Kimberly rejected her own idea. "Well, it doesn't seem realistic to publish it in the newspaper. There are so many peace pendants out there. Perhaps some people would claim that they own the same peace pendant as the one shown in the photo. What kind of person are you looking for? This peace pendant... looks like something that belongs to a baby. So, I guess the person might be quite young now."

Kimberly frowned and rested her cheeks on her hands while she was thinking.

That look...

It looked more like...

Seeing that, Quill's heart skipped a beat. He almost blurted it out.

Finally, he glanced at Sarah and George, who were standing behind Kimberly, and said, "I have a few important questions to ask your Young Madam. Can you..."

Hearing that, Sarah became alarmed. She refused immediately, "No!"

"It turns out that he's waiting for a chance. I thought he was a gentleman, but he is just a liar. He even wants to get rid of us now!" Sarah thought.

Seeing Sarah being so overprotective, George didn't know how to react. He felt that he was good at reading people. Quill didn't molest Kimberly when he carried her to the ward the day before too. He just placed her on the bed and waited at the bedside until she regained her consciousness. Therefore, George felt that Quill must be a gentleman.

There must be some other reasons for Quill to treat Kimberly in that way.

However, he couldn't guess the reason at all. He had the same thought as Juliette.

Quill treated Kimberly very well. However, there was no ambiguity between them. It seemed to be... a familial relationship instead. Quill looked like a steady older brother.

Thinking of that, George pulled Sarah's sleeve, hinting her to be quiet.

"Young Madam!" Sarah ignored George and went to pull the hem of Kimberly's clothes.

Kimberly could tell that Quill had something important to ask her. Therefore, she looked at Sarah and George, saying, "Please wait for me at the side, okay?"

"No way!" Sarah pouted and whispered, "Who knows if he is a good person?"

Although she had lowered down her voice, Quill could still hear what she said. He was not angry at all. He remained calm.

"Don't worry," Kimberly comforted Sarah and patted her hands. She continued, "I know what I'm doing. George, please."

"Okay, Young Madam," George responded. Then, he grabbed Sarah's arm and said, "Well, Sarah, let's go. Young Madam asked us to wait at the side."

Sarah left with George reluctantly. She said angrily when she walked to the side, "I feel that the man has bad intentions. George, why are you following his orders?"

"Trust me. He's definitely not the kind of person you think he is." George replied.

"How do you know? You just met him yesterday." Sarah said.

"Judging from his temperament, he's really not the kind of person you think he is. Also, he is the leader of Hanover Corporation, which is rivaled by only the Yardley Corporation in North City.1' George explained.

Hearing that, Sarah was a little shocked. "The leader of Hanover Corporation? I... don't know him."

"All you need to know is that he is actually about the same type of person as Young Master Yardley."

George smiled and did not continue.

Sarah was still a little annoyed. She could only look at Kimberly with her arms crossed.

It became quiet after both of them had left.

However, Quill couldn't muster the courage to ask the question anymore.

"Mr. Hanover, what do you want to tell me? Is it about... Sylvia?" Speaking of that, Kimberly lowered her head and pursed her lips, saying, "Well, if it's about Sylvia, I told you yesterday that I can't..."

"Kimberly, you've misunderstood me. I'm not going to ask you about what had happened between you and Sylvia. I'm going to ask you something about yourself."

"About me?" Kimberly paused and looked at Quill in surprise.

Quill nodded his head and stared at Kimberly for a long time. Then, he took out a photo from his pocket. Kimberly glanced at it and found that it was a photo of a baby.

The baby had fair skin. She looked cute with her hands clenched into fists.

"So cute!" Kimberly liked the baby the moment she saw the photo. She held the photo in her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Hanover, which family is this child from?"

Seeing Kimberly behaving in that way, Quill couldn't help but smile.

Would Kimberly be shocked if he told her that she was the baby?

Although Quill was still not very sure about that yet, his intuition told him that Kimberly was the one he had been looking for.

That was right.

She was the baby from the Hanover family who was lost not long after she was born. She was also Quill's sister, Minerva Hanover.

"Mr. Hanover, you're looking for this baby, aren't you? The peace pendant that you're looking for belongs to this baby, am I right?"

"Yes," Quill said while looking at Kimberly gently.

"I didn't expect you to be looking for this child. Is she... your child?" Kimberly was a little embarrassed when she was asking that question. After asking, she felt very awkward.

However, Quill did not look annoyed at all. On the contrary, he looked at Kimberly gently.

Kimberly felt embarrassed and handed the baby's photo back to Quill quickly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hanover. I seem to have said something wrong. I'm sorry!"

Quill didn't say anything. However, he didn't seem to be angry at all. Kimberly couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Therefore, she just sat there quietly. Quill asked Kimberly a question after a moment, "Can I ask you... something private?"

Kimberly paused for a moment and repeated his words, "Something private?"

Quill thought for a moment. In the end, he didn't spit the words out.

He was going to ask Kimberly whether she had a birthmark on her butt. However, that seemed to be a question from a pervert. He really couldn't ask that question at all.

He was the only one who knew about that.

He carried Minerva in her arms when she was born. His mother even told him about the birthmark.

"Quill, you must remember that there is a big birthmark on your sister's butt. We can find her based on this birthmark if we ever lost her."
