Vera left immediately after putting the glass of water in front of Quill.
He frowned subconsciously and took a glimpse of her. She immediately said, "I just remembered that I haven't tidied up my clothes yet. I will go and do it now." After that, she quickly turned around and slipped away to her room.
He was speechless at that moment.
Minerva also remained silent.
Seeing Vera going into the room, Minerva couldn't help but ask, "Quill, don't be so fierce. Did you see how scared she is?" Upon hearing that, he gave her a cold gaze and said, "Vera is bold enough to take Beanie away without informingat all." She bit her lower lip and decided to cover up for Vera.
"In fact, she didn't mean to be here. I was the one thinking that there was no progress here. That was why I had sent her a message and asked her to bring Beanie to me," she explained.
He didn't believe her words at all. He raised his eyebrows as he asked, "Are you going to go through thick and thin with her?" "No Quill, it's not like that... I really did send her a message and asked her to cover," Minerva said.
"Do you have any evidence?" He asked.
She was lost for words at that instant.
She didn't expect Quill to ask that. She kept standing dazedly for a long tbefore she murmured, "That... I sent the message but I have cleared up my phone storage." "Is that so?" Quill asked calmly.
Minerva suddenly becspeechless. She felt that she could not conceal the truth no matter what she said. How could Quill not know her character? The reason she did not allow Beanie to cover was that she had planned to settle things first and only bring him over after Maddox could fully regain his memories. However, at the moment, Maddox had yet to do so. She even mentioned that she had sent Vera a message, asking her to bring Beanie over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was not persuasive at all.
Minerva then stopped talking because she knew that Quill wouldn't believe anything she said.
She lowered her head. All of a sudden, she felt extremely down.
Quill was stunned for a moment. Recalling that his tone might be too harsh at the last moment, he suddenly felt a little remorseful when he saw Minerva who had just suffered a blow.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to talk to you using that tone just now..." He apologized.
"I know," Minerva interrupted him. "I know that you're just worried about me, but I'm an adult. I can do whatever I want. Including Vera, she knows what she's doing. Since she dares to bring Beanie out, that means that it's not her own idea." Speaking of that, Minerva raised her head and met his eyes.
"Since Beanie is also willing to be here, why are you blaming Vera?" She asked.
Quill could see that she was defending Vera. He couldn't even criticize her. Initially, he was looking for Vera to argue with her about this matter. It didn't matter what she wanted to do. However, what he cared about the most was that she didn't inform him at all before leaving with Beanie.
"What if something happened on the way?" He pondered to himself.
Thinking of that, his voice turned gentler.
"Since this is what you want, then I got it," he said.
"No, I don't," Minerva interrupted him. "I'm just telling the truth. If you want to blVera or even Beanie, I would say he is bolder among them. If he didn't instruct Vera, she would never have taken him to me,' Minerva said.
In this case, it seemed to be reasonable.
However... Quill frowned as he looked at his sister. She was not kind to her own son at all.
"Isn't she worried that I will scold Beanie?" Quill pondered to himself.
However, this was not something he should worry about at the moment. He didn't say anything else and tried to persuade her. "Alright, I got it. Don't get angry." Minerva looked down and did not respond to him.
The living room was quiet for a long tbefore she blurted out the question. "Since you're here, why don't you stay and celebrate the festival with us?" He nodded and explained, "The company is on holiday. Juliette was initially planning to cover, but I didn't agree, so she went hto spend twith her children." "Oh, I see." She looked around him and suddenly remembered something important. Quill seemed to only be carrying a small bag when he cinto the house; he didn't even have a suitcase.
"Did he... conly with his hand phone and passport this time?" Minerva thought to herself.
Thinking of that, she looked up and asked, "Quill, where is your suitcase?" After being asked this question, an embarrassed look appeared on his face which was initially calm. Thinking about that, he was a little annoyed. It was because he was in a rush and didn't even pack anything before he departed.
When the flight attendant asked him about his luggage after he got off the plane, it was then that realized that he didn't bring a suitcase at all. Fortunately, he had all his important documents and handphone with him.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to find this place.
"Were you in a rush, and that's why you did not bring anything?" Minerva asked.
Quill raised his head and replied with a serious look, "My passport and hand phone are with me." She did not say anything at that moment.
After thinking for a while, she coughed lightly and then asked, "When Maddox comes back, shall I ask him to lend you his clothes first?" "Wear Maddox's clothes?" Quill thought to himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe refused the suggestion subconsciously. How could he wear another man's clothes? Even if the man was his brother-in-law, he couldn't do that.
He immediately rejected her suggestion.
"No, thanks. I'll go out and buy it later," he said.
At the stime, Minerva did not force him as well. She ma moment and said, "You've just arrived and you may not be familiar with this place. Would you liketo go with you?" "No need," Quill replied. He then looked at the direction where Vera had just gone. "Ask her to go," he said. Initially, she wanted to say something. However, on her second thought, wasn't this a good opportunity for Vera? "If she accompanies Quill to buy clothes without anyone else, does it mean that they can spend a long twith each other?" After this idea flashed across her mind, Minerva immediately nodded her head.
"Well, I'll tell Vera later," she said.
After saying that, she got up and walked to Vera's room. Quill kept lowering his head, and his eyelashes had concealed the gloomy look in his eyes. Although Minerva was trying to persuade him not to blVera, he thought that there were still sthings that had to be made clear to her. Since he couldn't tell Vera that in front of Minerva.
Then he should take her out and talk about it.
Minerva directly told her the news after she entered the room. Vera's face immediately turned pale when she heard that and then rejected her. "I don't want to go out!"
Upon hearing that, Minerva was a pyt little surprised and she asked, "Why? Why don't you go out with Quill? It's such a good opportunity for you." "Minerva, I dare not... I am very afraid of him now. He must be very angry with me," she explained. "Don't worry. I've already told him. He promised not to blyou anymore," Minerva said.
"Really?" Vera asked. She was a bit doubtful. "But... I'm still afraid," she said.
"What are you afraid of? Spending twith him to buy clothes. It's such a rare opportunity. Are you sure you don't want it?" Minerva asked.
Seeing that Vera was still in a dilemma, Minerva decided to do something. She then turned around and walked outside while saying, "Then I'll go and tell him that you don't want to go." X
