Quill was late.
Precisely, he was 20 minutes late.
The first thing he said when he entered the room was.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Minerva couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She knew Quill well that he would be always punctual.
But he was 20 minutes late this time. He was probably really caught up with something.
"Uncle Quill, were you stuck in traffic?" Beanie suddenly asked.
Quill glanced at Beanie and said lightly, "It's due to other reasons. I didn't know you guys would all come. " He looked at Maddox and Jelly Bean, who was in his arms.
They each sat by Minerva's side as if they were afraid that she would run away.
Quill sighed deeply when he saw this scene.
He used to think Minerva would bring Beanie up on her own. To his surprise, after such a long time, she even had her second child.
It was good too.
"Quill."
As he was deep in thought, a soft, trembling voice sounded.
Quill looked in the direction of the sound and saw a well-dressed and gentle woman looking at him. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
At first he couldn't recognize her, but after some time, old memories returned, the figure looked even more familiar.
Quill's cold gaze softened a little, and he said, "Hi, Yulia. How are your parents?"
Yulia didn't know how to describe such an emotion meeting her childhood friend. She had too many things to tell; however, she couldn't say a word at that moment. Besides, she had gone through too many obstacles just to find Quill. When she heard what he said, Yulia couldn't help wanting to cry.
Although she tried very hard to suppress her emotions, meeting the person she longed to see after all the hardships and difficult days she went through, she couldn't help but start to lose control.
The atmosphere became slightly odd.
Yulia immediately turned around and wiped her tears away. She only turned back after some time.
Her eyes were still slightly red after crying. It was also covered with a layer of moisture from the tears. She then smiled and said softly, "Sorry, it has been too long since I last met an old friend, so I couldn't control my emotions just now. Hope you guys don't mind that."
Yulia even looked over at Minerva and the rest as she said this. It wasn't only just for Quill to hear.
Minerva shook her head while smiling.
Quill fell silent for a moment. He picked up a napkin and went forward, "Wipe your tears with this."
Yulia apologized and took over the napkin.
Beanie felt uneasy when he saw this.
Although he knew that she didn't do anything, she just couldn't control her emotions and cried a little. However, Beanie was upset when his uncle gave her a napkin.
Even though he didn't say anything, he met Minerva's gaze when he turned around.
