Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1417

Yulia sat there in a daze, recalling the moment when the waitress splashed the coffee on Vera and then taking her away. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, Yulia got up, wanting to go to the washroom.

However, Jasper put his hand out to stop her in her tracks as she reached his side.

"What are you doing?"

Yulia didn't have a clear intention, but all she knew was that she couldn't stay there.

"Think for a second. She is your rival in love. Their happiness is your suffering. Because of that man, you lived with unrequited love for so many years. Them marrying aside, are you really okay with him loving a woman who is not as good as you are?"

Yulia bit her lower lip as she looked at him.

Jasper flashed a blatant smile. "Yulia, this is a rare opportunity. If this ends with a failure, it will be difficult for you to ask her out next time. You have to think clearly."

After that, Jasper let Yulia in on his plan down to the deets. Hearing the sanguinary process, Yulia's head buzzed. Not wasting any more time, Yulia shook off Jasper's hand forcefully and ran to the washroom.

She staggered the entire way, sincerely wanting to save Vera.

Jasper watched her retreating figure until she was no longer within his vision. Then he walked around the table and sat down at her seat. With all smiles, he picked up the coffee she only had a sip of and took a few sips.

In the washroom.

After Vera finished cleaning her clothes, she handed the server her coat to be dried off before going to the toilet. However, to her dismay, she couldn't open the door after she was done.

At first, Vera thought the door was broken, so she tried a few more times. However, it still wouldn't budge as if it was locked from the outside.

As soon as the thought flashed across her mind, Vera froze on the spot.

A sense of foreboding arose within her.

Could it be that someone was trying to harm her? But what was that person trying to do by locking her in the washroom?

With that thought, Vera grew agitated. She quickly fished for her phone, but she left it in her bag on the sink outside to her dismay as she thought she would be out in no time. However, this happened.

What now? Burning with anxiety, all she could do was call for help.

"Is there anyone outside? I need help. Please save me!"

She shouted a few times, but the washroom was empty; there was even a little echo. Feeling scared, Vera retreated to a corner and leaned against it.

Then she looked up and around.

The upper part was open. If she really couldn't get out, she could consider climbing.

However, the walls were slippery, and there was nothing to step on. Even if she managed to get up there, how was she going to go down? She didn't care if she fell in the past as she would only suffer from some injuries at most. Worst case scenario, she might get a fracture but as long as she could go out, it did not matter.

However, she was pregnant now. What would happen if she fell?

That wouldn't do. It was not one she should try.

But other than that, all she could do was keep trying to call for help.

When Yulia came to the washroom, she happened to bump into the server holding Vera's coat. She stopped the server as she threatened, "Where is she?"

Vera didn't say anything in response to her explanation but only walked out and studied at the door, saying, "The door seems to be fine. Why was it locked from the outside?"

Yulia took a deep breath and lied, "Maybe the server accidentally did it."

There was a long silence in the washroom. Vera grabbed her bag and looked at Yulia.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, god knows how long I'd be locked up in here."

"I don't think so. I bumped into the server right outside, and she had your coat. She'd definitely save you if she found out you're trapped inside."

"Anyway, thank you. It's getting late, and I really should go back. There is still plenty to do in the restaurant. You should come by and have a meal when you have the time. It's on me."

Yulia had not received such an invitation for a long time. She stared at Vera for a long time before she smiled again. "Okay, it's a deal."

"Mm."

After Vera left the washroom, she did not go to the server for her coat but walked to the entrance. Basking in the sunlight, she finally felt a bit of warmth.

Vera's legs had turned into jelly. She took out her phone and wanted to make a call, but she kept failing to unlock her phone, let alone hold the phone firmly.

Earlier in the washroom, she pretended to be calm when talking to Yulia, but in fact, she had already figured it out.

There was no way the washroom door could get locked so easily. How could the waiter be so careless? The only possibility was that someone wanted to harm her, and that person was...

Vera closed her eyes. She didn't want to wrong anyone, but she couldn't think of anyone else for the time being other than Yulia.
