Jelly Bean was lying on the princess-like cradle, dressed in pink. When Maddox picked her up, she instantly stopped crying and looked at Maddox curiously with her pure eyes.
Seeing Jelly Bean like that, the gloom in Maddox's heart faded.
He stretched out his finger and tapped Jelly Bean's fair and tender forehead lightly, whispering, "You little fool. Don't cry at any time in the future. You're bothering us."
Maybe it was because of the telepathy between father and daughter; Jelly Bean started giggling again when she was being tapped.
When she smiled, the last bit of gloom that remained in Maddox's heart completely disappeared. However, he still had a dark expression on his face. It was just that the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
He reached out again and poked Jelly Bean's cheek, teasing her with his fingers. Jelly Bean giggled.
She looked cute no matter how.
When Minerva saw that, she shook her head helplessly.
She was more and more worried about Jelly Bean. How could she laugh so happily at his father's gloomy face? What the hell was she giggling at?
The business in the pasta restaurant was average that day, so Vera texted Quill on her phone. After a while, Quill said that he had to go for a meeting and asked her to wait for him.
Vera agreed obediently and grinned with her phone in her hand.
In fact, when Quill went to work, Vera didn't dare text him. After all, who knew if he would have a business to deal with in the next second. When he said that he came after receiving her message the last time, Vera would not take the initiative to message him when he was at work.
But Quill probably considered other factors; he would occasionally send her messages when he was free. So they agreed on texting only when they were free, and if there was something important, they would attend to it immediately.
As for Vera, if there were customers in the restaurant, she would not even have time to reply to Quill's message. By the time she was free to check her phone, it might be a few hours later.
However, the beginning of a relationship was always sweet. They would always make use of every second and minute to chat and send messages.
As soon as she put the phone down, Vera was ready to get up when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking into the restaurant.
Just one glance, Vera started to avoid his gaze as it was none other than Sam, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
After the last time he came to bid farewell to her, although Vera felt somewhat sorrowful, she soon forgot about that man.
This showed how much Sam meant in her heart. It was also true that love couldn't be forced.
However, Vera felt sad thinking about everything Sam had done for her. If possible, she wished Sam had never liked her. That way, he would not stay single up till now, and she would not have to feel so guilty.
When their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on Sam's face.
Although there was a scar on his face, it didn't affect his appearance at all since he was already rather good- looking. It was too unfair for Sam, who was so sincere, not to be able to find someone who would treat him well.
Sam didn't know that Quill and Vera were already together. He had just finished his work and had come back from abroad. The first thing he did after returning was to look for Vera and see how she had been doing.
Just as he wished, Vera looked to be much better than before. Her face was rosy, and the most important thing was that her eyes were bright.
Seeing Vera like that, he was relieved, but at the same time, his heart was in suspense, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
