After they were ready, they headed straight to the Hanover family home.
Originally, Minerva had planned to drive personally, but when she walked to the parking lot, she suddenly remembered that her car had been left at Yardley Corporation the day before. Now, there was no vehicle for her to drive.
Beanie and Vera stood beside her and asked in unison.
"Mommy, where's the car?" "Minerva, where's the car?" She was speechless.
She rubbed her nose and felt a little embarrassed.
"It seems... that it is not here." "We saw that. What should we do now? Walk there?" Vera sighed and looked helplessly at Minerva. "I knew we shouldn't rely on you. Let's call a cab." Vera took out her phone and made a call directly.
After getting in the car, Vera held Beanie in her arms and complained.

Inside the Hanover family home.
When she got out of the car, Minerva did not know whether it was because she was guilty or feeling nervous, but she took a step forward and nearly tripped. Luckily, Vera was quick to hold her up. What a close call! After standing still, Minerva's expression changed a little.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Beanie ran to her in a panic and took her hand. "Why don't I hold your hand and lead you into the house?" After she calmed down, she smiled at Beanie, "I'm fine. Don't worry, Beanie." She stepped forward, and Vera whispered in a low voice.
"I thought you were calm. Turns out, you are still a little nervous and afraid." After saying that, she pursed her lips and secretly chuckled.
Minerva glared at her and said in a low voice, "Stop." "Alright." Servants were waiting at the door. When they saw Minerva, Vera, and Beanie, they immediately greeted them.
"Miss Minerva is here!" She nodded at her and smiled. "Sophia, where's my brother?" "Mr. Hanover has been having a video conference in the study room since the morning." "A conference?" She blinked and subconsciously looked at Beanie beside her.
"Uncle Quill's conferences always drag on for a long time. Do we have to wait for him, Mommy?" She stretched out her hand and pinched his cheek. She whispered, "Your uncle is having a conference. Let's walk around and wait for him to dine together. This is also the place where you used to live. Do you want to go and play by yourself?" "Okay, I'll go and play." After saying that, he turned around and left. The little fellow looked short-limbed, but he walked fast.
In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared in the corridor.
They were in the Hanover family's house, so she didn't need to worry about anything happening to him. Seeing that Beanie had gone to play on his own, Minerva stopped worrying about him.
"What about you?" She looked at Vera beside her. "Beanie went to play on his own. Where do you plan to go?" "Where am I going?" Vera was dumbfounded for a moment. She was not a member of the Hanover family. She could not run around like Beanie, can she? Alas.
Thinking about this, she began to feel depressed again. If Quill liked her, she could roam about freely.
Thinking about it made her heart ache. Why was it easy for the other girls to pursue their significant others while she was here struggling to get Quill's attention? She felt as if she and him were living a thousand miles apart. "What's wrong? Are you looking for Quill?" Minerva asked. Vera's expression changed, and she quickly shook her head and waved her hand.
"No. How would I dare to disturb him when he is at a conference? If I go to him at this time, he will definitely hateeven more." After all, for a man, no matter who it was, if someone was to disturb them while they were working, the man would definitely feel resentment.
Vera was indeed self-aware of this.
"Well, seeing how angry you looked, I'll take you around, and then you can meet him during lunch." Vera couldn't say anything else. She could only nod her head and leave with Han Minerva.

The delicious and aromatic food was finally served on the dining table. The servants rushed in and out of the kitchen. After all, everyone knew that Minerva was Quill's favorite person. They were afraid of offending her.
Therefore, when he gave the order, the servants tried their best to please her. Of course, it was to please Quill indirectly.
Looking at the variety of food in front of her, Minerva was almost dumbfounded. She subconsciously turned to the servant next to her and asked, "Is there skind of special occasion?" The servant was stunned. She didn't seem to understand what she meant. It took the servant stbefore she replied, "Miss Minerva, there's no occasion? What's the matter?"
If there wasn't any occasion, why were there so many dishes on the table? She was puzzled "I've never oman never seen so many dishes on the table. I thought that there was sspecial occasion." One of the elder servants said with a smile, "It is an occasion itself for you to chome, and it's more important than official celebrations."
Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement. Many younger servants also echoed, "Yes! Miss Minerva, when you cback, Mr. Hanover is very happy This is the most special day in the house." Looking at the smiling faces in front of her and thinking of Quill, Minerva suddenly felt touched. He could be said to have spoiled her very much, but she was keeping a ton of secrets from him. One of them was her and Maddox being together. At the thought of this, she made a decision in her heart. Since Quill had asked her to chthat day, she would have to cforward to him regarding being together with Maddox.
If Quill already knew about this in advance, she would admit it directly.
After Minerva made up her mind, she smiled at them, "Alright, thanks for all your hard work today. Thank you for making such a delicious meal. It's getting late. You guys should hurry up and eat too." "Thank you, Miss Minerva. We'll be leaving first." "Alright." "By the way, Mr. Hanover's video conference is over. He'll cdown soon." "Got it." After they left, Minerva looked everywhere, but she didn't see any trace of Beanie.
Where had he run off to? It was fine that Beanie didn't show up, but even Vera... was nowhere to be found.
She was still with her before, but she went missing in the short tperiod when Minerva went to change her clothes.
Could it be that Vera couldn't resist the temptation and went to look for Quill herself?
