"Mom, I'm still very young, alright? Besides, it's no longer a thing to get married so early. People are getting married at an older age these days."
Vera was not itching to get married unless she was with someone whom she really liked.
Otherwise, she would rather not get married.
Life contained inevitable suffering. There was no need to force marriage as it was a lifetime thing.
That was why when Vera fell in love with Quill, she never gave up on him and hoped that one day, she would be able to capture his heart.
Who knew...
Vera shook her head violently to get rid of the thoughts.
Why was she suddenly thinking of that person again?
Stop it! Stop it!
"Vera, you are not allowed to think about Quill Hanover anymore. That man is just a passer-by in your life. You two are not destined to be with each other," Vera said to herself.
"You must forget about him."
"You must find someone else that you truly love."
Mabie continued, "Even if you don't want to get married so early, you can't get married too late either. You would need a couple of years to date, won't you? It takes time for a relationship to blossom into love. By the time you're ready to get married and have children, you might be old. Don't you know that it is very dangerous to get pregnant at an older age?"
Vera said, "Mom, don't worry about this. Let's just leave it to fate. Besides, Dad is still recovering from a serious injury. Let's talk about it when he is feeling better."
"You're right. Fine, I will not talk about it. It's just that Amelia seems to want to set you up with someone. You better be mentally prepared for it. She might even come to our house to set up another blind date for you someday."
When Vera heard this, she almost fainted. She took a deep breath and suppressed the flicker of irritation that surged through her. She then continued to feed David.
David swallowed a mouthful of porridge. At this time, he looked at his daughter and said, "Vivy, you can get married whenever you want. I will not pressure you. Wait until you find the right one, then you can think about getting married. You don't have to rush."
After going through a near death experience, David had taken a lot of things lightly. Life was short and unpredictable. No one knew when they were going to die. Therefore, the most important thing was to live in the present and be happy.
He was not going to pressure his daughter to get married.
"Thank you, Dad!"
At Yardley Mansion.
Minerva and Maddox did not stay there for long. They rested on the sofa for a while because of Maddox's headache. However, around noon, Maddox suddenly stood up and told Minerva that he was going to take her out for lunch.
"It's alright, there's no rush. You can continue to rest if you're still not feeling well."
Maddox's gaze fell on her face. He asked, "Are you not hungry?"
Minerva shook her head and waved her hand. She replied, "Not yet."
Just as she finished her sentence, her stomach started to growl. The sound rang through the entire room. It was very clear as they were the only ones in the mansion.
The next second, Minerva's cheeks flushed. She subconsciously caressed her stomach and said, slightly embarrassed, "I'm really not hungry. Maybe... our baby is."
If it was in the past, she would definitely be able to control herself.
She did not expect her stomach to growl. Furthermore, it happened to growl right after she told Maddox that she was not hungry.
"Ahhhhh, my unborn child, how can you let me down like that? Couldn't you wait a little longer before you protest? Let your Dad rest a little longer." She thought.
Maddox smiled faintly when he heard her words. His voice was low and pleasant to the ear.
"Since our baby is hungry, then let's go. I don't want my baby to starve."
Minerva bit her lower lip and looked at him with worried eyes.
"But you..."
Tm fine."
Maddox immediately stood up. Before Minerva could react, he bent down and carried her in his arms. Minerva was caught off guard and instinctively grabbed his collar. She asked anxiously, "What are you doing?" "Weren't you worried about me?" Maddox asked.
