Vera was still cutting the garlic into pieces.
Looking at those pieces of garlic, Minerva couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to eat garlic for lunch?" "Is there a problem?" "No problem. As long as... you're not afraid of the smell." When Vera heard what she said, she suddenly cback to her senses and said, "You're right, Quill is here. How can I eat garlic? If I have the chance to get close to him and speak to him alone, wouldn't it be disgusting if he smells it?" Thinking of this, Vera directly grabbed the chopped garlic and threw it into the trash can next to her.
Then she quickly washed the board and knife.
"You're a lifesaver," Vera said.
Minerva scrutinized her and found that she didn't have a trace of avoidance on her face. As if she had forgotten what she just said.
Was she carefree, or she couldn't care less? Minerva thought for a moment and said, "Um... Did you hear what I said?" Vera answered, "Said what?" "Perhaps, Sam really is jealous?" Vera said, "Impossible!" "How do you know it's impossible? Didn't you suspect it yourself? It's just that you're not confirmed about this." "Yeah, I am a little suspicious, but it's still impossible that Sam likes me. We've known each other for so long. If he liked me, he would have a long tago. How would he deny it when I confronted him that day? I actually regretted it a little. I was too impulsive. It's embarrassing to ask this kind of question." Minerva was speechless.
Forget it. She really didn't know how else to explain it to Vera.
She should just leave it up to her.
Minerva did not say anything else, and the two of them cooked in silence.
Maddox was still asleep when they ate. Minerva saved sfood for him to eat when he woke up.

The sound of utensils clattering on the floor echoed through the room.
Vera was holding a spoon in her hand before, but after hearing this sentence, she loosened her grip and the spoon fell to the ground.
Tseemed to have stood still for a moment. Then, Vera embarrassedly lowered her head to pick up the spoon. But someone else beat her to it. Sam bent down, picked it up, and put it on the table. Then he got up and went to the kitchen to get her a new spoon.
Vera was still a little surprised when she took the spoon. She stuttered, "You..." "You can't even hold a spoon properly, I won't be surprised if you died of stupidity," Sam softly ridiculed.
Vera's eyes immediately widened.
However, she did not argue with him. Instead, she looked at Quill and asked nervously, "Didn't you say in the car that you'll be leaving a few days later? Why did you change it to tomorrow? Are you able to book any tickets?" "Juliette will deal with these things," Quill said.
When Vera heard Juliette's name, she was silent for a while. Yes, so many days had passed, it was tfor Juliette to return to work. As long as she was the one doing the preparations, everything will be settled for Quill. Vera quickly asked, "Can I go back with you? I'm going to book the tickets now." After that, she didn't even finish her food. She quickly put her bowl and spoon down and ran back to the room to get her mobile phone.
Everyone was speechless.
Minerva secretly looked at Sam and saw that he was unfazed. She felt strange about his reaction, but she remembered he was one of Maddox's men.
So his reaction was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Quill, why are you in such a hurry? Why didn't I hear you mention anything about leaving so quickly before?" Minerva filled her bowl with soup and asked. Quill looked at his younger sister, and his voice was much softer as he gave her his reply.
"Something happened to the company at the last minute. I have to go back to deal with it. I had intended to stay with you for a few more days, but now it seems that can't do it. You should take good care of yourself when you are outside. If you are facing any problems, don't handle them yourself. I will always be your strongest support." Quill paused as he spoke. His lips moved slightly as if he was considering something.
After a while, he said slowly, "Although the Collins Family is affluent, the Hanover family is not afraid of trouble. Do you understand what I mean?" Minerva was shocked. She knew what Quill was trying to tell her indiscreetly.
He was afraid that Jarold would make things difficult for her and even abuse the power of his family. He was telling her that the Hanover family wouldn't cower in fea if she needed their help.
As long as she needed it, the power of the Hanover family would be offered to her.
Minerva felt fortunate to have a brother like him.
Her eyes were slightly red as she called out, "Quill." "Alright, have ssoup," Quill said.
Minerva could only lower her head and drank the soup. Sam watched silently from the side. He did not expect Quill to be so gentle to his sister.
But he had no affection for Vera at all.
This should be the reason why Vera was so sad.

However, he was an outsider, and he was not qualified to say anythingn about it. Quill had hot been toying with Vera anyway, and he was very clear about his feelings for her. If Vera continued to be so stubborn, then she brought it upon herself.
Thinking of this, Sam suddenly felt a little distressed.
What if Vera was as stubborn as he was and continued to like him? "Ah, why? Why are there no tickets left for tomorrow's flight?"
While he thought about this, Vera ran out of the room crazily with her mobile phone. While running, She sprouted, "There are no tickets left for tomorrow's flight. Why are there so many people going back to Hildago? No!" Vera stood next to Quill and looked at him pitifully, she begged him and said, "Can you... stay a few more days? You haven't talked to your sister much yet." Quill frowned slightly and answered, "I have something urgent to deal with in the company. I have to go back." Vera felt hopeless after hearing the tone of his voice. She could only bite her lower lip and remained silent. She hung her head and returned to her seat.
Everyone could see that the energy in her had left completely.
There were so many things to ponder about while they had the meal.
After she finished her meal, Minerva quickly returned to her room.
That night, the Collins family suddenly sent Baldrick over to invite everyone for a meal.
Minerva thought that since Quill would be returning tomorrow, she agreed. Moreover, she had something to discuss with Jarold.
Of course, it was not a trivial matter.
She would have to express herself properly then. She did not know whether Beanie managed to leave a good impression either. Because Quill was going to leave tomorrow, Vera lost all interest in doing anything. When she heard that they were going to have dinner with the Collins family, she refused. Quill didn't want to go either, but he was Minerva's brother. Therefore, he had to go, as her family member.
So in the end, only Sam and Vera were left.
Sam had originally intended to go with them. However, as he was about to step out, Maddox suddenly gave him a meaningful look and said, "You stay here." Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming these rich women will persue you.
