Pitifully, President Yardley had never dealt with such things. He stood there for a long time, not knowing what to do until Jelly Bean's loud cry pulled him back to his senses which had drifted far away. Only then did he slowly put Jelly Bean on the soft cushion next to him. He gently coaxed her not to cry first, but then he did not know what to do.
Minerva hid in the blanket. She didn't know if she should help, but she'd better not after thinking about it for a while. There was always a first for everything. He would know how to take care of his daughter afte he carried it out himself.
Therefore, Minerva hid in the quilt and played dead.
Maddox got down to it frantically.
At first, he really didn't know what to do. But he had attended lessons before that, so gradually, he began to work step by step and dealt with it steadily.
However, it took a long time. And... after handling Jelly Bean, he was drenched in a cold sweat; even his nose was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
He wanted to lift his hand to wipe it but realized a strange scent coming from his fingertips. The corners of his lips couldn't help twitching. Maddox cleaned up and washed his hands before changing into a new set of clothes. When he cout, he found that Minerva had taken Jelly Bean back to her side and slept with her in her arms. Maddox walked over and stopped beside the bed.
The duo on the bed breathed steadily and was soundly sleeping. When Maddox looked at them, he realized that they looked very much alike.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was said that a daughter would look more like her father when she was young, but she would grow up to look like her mother. At that moment, Jelly Bean was already nearly identical to Minerva. Maddox's cold heart instantly softened. He sat down by the bed and looked at his two beloveds in front of him. He slowly laid down beside Minerva.
The memories of the past lingered in his mind. His Minerva had suffered a lot, and also the awful things he had done in the past.
In the future, he would use the rest of his life to take good care of her and his precious daughter.
Poor Beanie didn't know that he was neglected by his father at that tand that he would live life with his father favoring his younger sister over him. However, Beanie was the sas his father as he would also dote on his mother and sister a lot. Beanie would constantly conflict with his father over them. Of course, that was all to be talked about in the future.
Poor Beanie was still sleeping soundly in his room at that time. He knew nothing.
After learning of Minerva giving birth to a second child, Mabie couldn't help but sigh.
"Look at yourself. Minerva is only a few years older than you, and she has already given birth to two children. The key is that Beanie already grew up." Vera was speechless, "Mom, what are you really trying to say?" Mabie looked at her and said, "What do you think? She did her best. Shouldn't you do the same?" When Vera heard that, she couldn't help but raise her hands and surrendered, "Leavebe, please. I've just gotten into a relationship, and you know that. Don't tellyou wantto get married right away?" Got married right away? When Mabie heard that, the corners of her lips lifted with satisfaction. She said, "If the man is reliable, there's nothing wrong with it, isn't it?" Vera was shocked. She thought that with Mabie's character, she would let her take her tto observe. Although she really wanted to marry Quill, they had just finally got together. Besides, she didn't know if Quill would be with her forever. Maybe he just wanted to try to be with her. Maybe someday, he would regret it.
When Vera thought of that, she was slightly depressed.
"Vivy, think about it. If he's a good man, what's the difference between getting married early and late? It's better to get married early." Vera could only smile bitterly.
"What kind of society are we in now? If there is no love, do you think two people can be together forever just because they're married? Men and women are the same; if I married someone I don't like, I might not be able to live with it." Life today was no longer like the past when chastity was important; men and women were now seen as equals. People in love could get married together, but also part when the relationship was broken. If one wanted to use marriage or children to tie down a man, that was too foolish.
"You're right, but I can see that you mean a lot to Quill, and he's Minerva's older brother. You know him very well, and you like him so much, so you have to hurry up. After all, he doesn't seem young anymore. Although you are, he..." Speaking of that, Mabie paused for a moment. She probably felt that it was not good to say it directly, so she whispered something in her daughter's ear.
That sentence made Vera's fair cheeks flush with embarrassment. She pushed Mabie away and said, "Mom, how could you?" Being pushed away, Mabie couldn't help laughing, and her eyes were brimming with brightness, "Am I wrong? You don't have to feel embarrassed. You're my daughter; what's wrong with talking about such things? I'm just worried about your happiness in the future." Mabie deliberately emphasized her tone in the last sentence.
Vera's face turned redder. She didn't expect her mother to be so open.
"Stop it. I don't want to hear it," Vera said.
After that, Vera directly got up and ran into the bathroom. Looking at her flushed face in the mirror, she got the faucet running and took a handful of water to pat her face, trying to reduce the heat that was rising in her face. But soon, Vera began to think about it again, seriously considering what Mabie had just said to her.
Marriage...
She really didn't dare think about marrying Quill.
Although deep down, she had such hope because she couldn't fall in love with anyone else but Quill. She had no choice but to marry him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut Quill was not her. He was different.
She couldn't fall in love with anyone but him, but Quill wasn't.
He was with her currently. Although Quill becdifferent after they fell in love, and he took the initiativem the many times turning from a calm person into someone who was more andr more flirty in front of her he was still more mature than Vera and he was in control of everything. If they had to part someday, that would be up to him.
At that time, Vera would be in a miserable state.
In short, after thinking about it for a while, Vera felt that she loved him a lot, but his feelings for her were weak.
Eh, no, that was not right.
If he had not devoted much to her, a billion-dollar why would he give up a billion dollar business for her? If that was the case, she wasn't that lowly either. With that thought, Vera cupped her cheeks and gave a satisfied smile.
She shouldn't think too much. It was not easy for them to get together so she had to cultivate their relationship. As for marriage, it was better to let nature take its course.
