Everyone fell silent for a long time.
They probably didn't expect things to turn out so meandering, yet she silently carried all the burden. Even though Minerva barely knew her, she still felt very moved hearing her story.
She respected Yulia from the bottom of her heart.
Yulia wiped away her tears and returned to her usual pleasant, joyful self. Her tone also became as clear as usual.
"You guys must be thinking I'm quite miserable, don't you? I actually think it's alright. After all, the hard days are over, and my father's death gave me a brighter future in return. I will continue to work hard in the future."
She would never let her parents' death be in vain; that was what Yulia had in mind.
After the dinner, Minerva's impression of Yulia changed. Before this, she had some prejudices against her, but it was all gone now.
She even felt that her prejudice against Yulia on Vera's behalf was a petty act. Based on Yulia's family upbringing, she would not seize another's love. If she knew Quill already had someone in his heart, she would walk away and not interfere.
She had such a proud father; she would not be an ill-mannered person, either.
When they left the hotel, Minerva asked Yulia, "What are you planning to do next? Do you have anywhere to go to? Although I know you do not want to accept other's help, it would be easier if you're able to receive some help in certain situations."
Yulia looked at her deeply and thanked her sincerely, "Minerva, thank you very much. I get what you're saying, but I plan on finding a job; start from the bottom. This was my father's wish; I don't want to disappoint him."
She made it clear.
Minerva smiled and said softly, "What your father hoped for is that you wouldn't beg others, but our families have such a good relationship; we can't be considered outsiders. Besides, you didn't ask; we want to help."
Yulia was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to have thought of this method of dealing with things.
"What do you think? Do you think I have a point? Even if we help you in the shadows, you wouldn't know. That wouldn't be against your initial motive, would it?"
Yulia came forward and hugged Minerva as soon as she finished speaking.
"Minerva, you have a heart of gold, and I'm happy about that. However, I have already set my mind to start from the bottom. I have been under my father's protection for too long; I never knew about the cruelty and ugliness of reality. If it weren't for the incident back home, I would probably live a muddled life until I die."
"I didn't come to you guys for help but to fulfill my dream. I have wanted to come back for the longest time and meet up with some old friends. It was just that there were too many things I had to deal with, so I never got the chance. Now that I've met you and your brother, seeing that you guys are doing well, I can finally chase after the life I want in peace."
Hearing such generous words, Minerva was very touched. Her impression towards her elevated further.
She felt that no matter what, based on their family's relationship, Quill will probably help her. Whether Yulia would accept was another thing.
If she kept up with such an attitude, she probably wouldn't be close to Quill.
Beanie had been in a bad mood the entire car ride home; he kept his head down and didn't say anything. As for Jelly Bean, she was asleep;
Maddox covered her with a blanket to prevent her from catching a cold.
Minerva noticed Beanie was not in high spirits and asked him, "What's the matter?"
Beanie shook his head.
