It did not matter if he found his other half or not? Minerva actually did not believe him. That was because she still remembered what happened that night while they were overseas.
Vera drank until she was drunk. That night, she had a fever.
She had clearly heard what he had said to Vera outside the room.
At that time, judging by his actions and tone, it was obvious that he had fallen in love with Vera. However, after that night, it seemed like nothing happened between them. He also abruptly left. After they returned to the country, neither one contacted each other.
Minerva could feel that he had feelings for Vera, but why didn't he want to give it a try? She was confused by this.
What exactly happened? She moved her lips, but Maddox's words rang in her ears.
"We don't even spend much ttogether. Why do you still want to meddle in other people's affairs?" She swallowed back the words that were at the tips of her tongue.
Forget it. She had already promised Maddox that she would not interfere with this matter. She was not going to say anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had promised him that she would meet up with him in five minutes. Thus, she decided to call it a night and told Quill, "It's alright. Since you've already made up your mind, I'll stop talking about it. Maddox is still waiting fordownstairs. I'm going to head hnow." "Go on." He nodded.
She turned around. She could not help but turn back around to look at him after taking a couple of steps. She looked as if she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
"Quill, did you really askto cover this evening just to have dinner with you?" He, who was still lightly tapping his fingers on the table, suddenly paused. He looked up at her and said in a gentle voice.
"Yes, what else?" What else? She stared at him for a while and then looked away.
"Nothing. I'll be going now." After that, she did not look back and quickly left the study. After she left, Quill, who remained seated at his desk, lowered his eyes. His eyes suddenly becdark.
As soon as Minerva arrived downstairs, she saw Maddox walking towards her from a distance.
She counted the tcarefully and realized that she seemed to be late.
She coughed softly. She felt a little guilty as she walked towards him.
His lips curled up slightly. There was a faint smile on his lips. He looked fine on the surface, but she felt that there was a hint of laughter hidden behind his calm smile. "You promisedfive minutes. You're late." He briefly glanced at the watch on his hand and said softly to her.
His voice was soft, but she could sense danger behind it. She walked over to him with a smile and grabbed his hand to check his watch. She then said, "I think the ton your watch is running a little too fast. was watching the twhen I was in the study. I timed myself to be down here as soon as the five minutes was up. You'd still have to take into consideration the tit takes to walk from the study, right?" "Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows. She continued, "You did not mention that the five minutes includes my walking time. You can't blme. I did not say anything." "You did not say anything?" He narrowed his eyes slightly. "If you did not say anything, why did it take you more than five minutes to talk to your brother?" She said, "I was just talking to him about his usual stuff, you know? I am concerned about his well being. Anyway, he is my family. Am I not allowed to ask him these things?" Since she had already said that, it would not make sense for him to say anything else.
Although he might not remember Quill, he was still Minerva's older brother after all. He mustn't step over the line.
Therefore, he stopped. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
"Are you done talking?" She stared at him and said, "Yes." "Let's go home." After Vera signed the rental agreement with Ernest, she thanked him and told him that since he liked the pasta that she cooked for him the other day, he was more than welcto cby her store. She could even have it delivered to him.
He smiled faintly and agreed.
After that, she began making preparations for the opening of her restaurant.
She used to dream of opening a restaurant and now, her dream had ctrue. However, there were a lot of things that needed to be done in preparation for the grand opening and she could not do it on her own. She had to seek the help of her mother as well.
However, because her father had not been discharged from the hospital, they decided to put aside the matter for a while after running around for two days. They wanted to wait until David was discharged from the hospital.
When David found out that they were waiting for him to be discharged from the hospital before continuing on with the preparations of the opening of the store, he waved his hand indifferently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's alright. Go ahead and do what you have to do. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself." "Dad, we can't do that. It's better if we take care of you. Our preparations are nearly done anyways. We're not in a rush, so we can wait." Mabie, who was sitting by the side eating grapes, nodded in agreement. "That's right." After that, she picked up another grape and stuffed it into her mouth.
When David saw her like this, he helplessly closed his eyes and said, "You, don't just take care of yourself. You have to take care of our daughter. She has lost so much weight since she cback. Why hasn't she put on any weight ever since she got back? It's fine if she did not put on any weight, but why does it seem like she's getting thinner every tI see her?" Upon hearing that, she becunhappy and immediately retorted.

"What do you mean that I only care about myself to eat? Isn't that a little too much? What does it have to do withof not? she puts on weight You should know how delicious my food is. However, have to make something clear. If it wasn't because she has to run back and forth everyday to take care of you, do you think she would be this thin?" He was speechless.
Vera said, "Mom, Dad, that's enough. I'm thin because I'm on a diet. It has nothing to do with either one of you." "You're on a diet?" They looked at тобе
her. "You're already so thin. Why do you need to go on a diet? Are you trying to be like the other girls? Who would want to date you if you're so skinny? If you continue to lose weight, I'm afraid that you will be blown over by the wind."Content
The corners of Vera's mouth kept twitching. In fact, she was not on a diet. She maintained her body well. Maybe it was because she had too many things to deal with recently and did not have the tto eat. That was why she lost weight. At the thought of this, she immediately said, "Oh no, I won't. Once the preparations for the store are done, then I'll start bulking up. Don't worry. I will take care of myself." As tflew by, Maddox gave Beanie a call. He told him that he would be sending someone over to pick him and Jarold up in a couple of days.
Because he did not turn on his camera, he couldn't see his son's expression.
However, Beanie sounded very excited. He could roughly imagine what he looked like at the moment. "Daddy, since Great-Grandpa and I are going hin two day's time, does it mean that everything's settled?" "That's right." Maddox nodded. He had already settled whatever he needed to settle.
Beanie asked, "How did you do it?" "Why are you asking so many questions? When you cback, you should spend squality twith your mother." When Beanie heard this, he snorted and said, "You don't have to tell me. I will definitely spend twith Mommy." X Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men!
