Vera had a dream that night.
She dreamed that she was in a relationship with Quill. In her dream, he was very gentle. He would wipe her tears away, coax her with a tender voice, and he would even kiss her.
Although it was just a dream, Vera felt that it was too surreal. She struggled all night, wishing she could stay in that dream longer. She wished that she could stay in this dream forever.
But the more she struggled, the quicker she woke up from it.
After a while, Vera realized she was wide awake. She opened her eyes and saw daylight outside her window; her pillow was drenched in tears.
Vera was a little confused and wondered if she had cried all night?
Last night, she dreamed that she was with Quill. She felt blissful but it was too surreal. She wanted to prove that it wasn't a dream but she couldn't bear to ruin it. As she was struggling within, she woke up.
Sure enough, she could only get what she wanted in her dream.
However, life went on.
At the thought of it, Vera raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes. She got up and changed her pillow cover that was wetted by tears. Then, she went into the bathroom to freshen up. After changing clothes, she went downstairs to make breakfast.
As soon as Vera finished her breakfast, she went downstairs straight. The warmth from the sunshine covered her face and body as she stood there and enjoyed it for a little while.
"It's all right. Without romance, there are still other things that matter in life. I still have a future ahead of me, and I should embrace it." Vera thought.
Four months later.
Vera's business became more and more popular. She only hired two workers in the beginning, and now she had hired two more to help out due to the good business. David had resigned from his job and would occasionally help out at the restaurant along with Mabie. During their free time, they would stay at home and sometimes they would go shopping or line dance with their friends.
The people around were all envious of Mabie. They would compliment her for having a daughter who knew how to run a business and that Mabie could retire and enjoy her life years earlier. On the other hand, they were sorry to hear that Vera was not married yet and they would ask Mabie to urge Vera.
Minerva's belly had become huge. She went from barely having any appetite to having a huge appetite. Minerva had gained quite some weight, and her body was bloated all over. The baby in her tummy would make her uncomfortable by kicking her all the time. The pregnancy was giving her a hard time.
When Maddox saw his wife's condition, he did not even want to deal with the company's matters anymore. He would let Sam handle everything and go home to accompany his wife.
Sometimes, when he noticed the baby giving Minerva a hard time, Maddox would say in a faint voice.
"If we didn't know it was a baby girl, I would beat this kid up after you give birth to her for torturing you now."
Upon hearing this, Minerva glared at him. "Nonsense! Even if it isn't a girl, it's still your son. How could you bear to hit him?"
Maddox looked deeply at her and hugged her. He then kissed her forehead tenderly.
"After this pregnancy, let's not have any more
kids."
Minerva was stunned. No more children? She thought Maddox would ask her to give birth to a few more children, but he...
"Two is enough. I don't want to wear you out."
In actuality, Minerva was not against giving birth to children. However, she felt that having two children was enough, so she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, no more children after this."
The pasta restaurant was packed with people.
