Hearing that, Mabie was a little surprised. "They passed away?"
"Yes."
Vera nodded. Although Quill only ever mentioned it briefly, during her time living with Minerva, Quill was all alone until he found his sister.
After he finally found his only family, he would often fly to visit her.
What caused him to be so attached and protective of his loved ones? Vera did not know. She felt that his life in the past was extremely bad.
If it was possible, she naturally hoped everything was fine for Quill. His parents were still around, just like how she was...
Her family lived together peacefully and had meals together during the holidays. They could even talk about their troubles.
But what about him? He shouldered endless lonely years alone and even bore the responsibility of finding his younger sister.
Vera only knew if it were her, she might not be able to go this far.
Hearing this, Mabie's heart ached. "Quill... No wonder I saw a strange look in his eyes during dinner. I was wondering why a man would have such an expression. No wonder..."
"He's probably reminded of his parents." Vera whispered, "I can still respect them, but I have a boyfriend now. Those neighbors can't speak like this. It's too unpleasant to hear."
"I understand what you mean. Let them be; they're just neighbors. If they say something bad, then we don't have to be polite to them."
Vera took a look at Mabie and said, "Mom, are you not angry? They will definitely criticize me, and they'll blame you."
"Silly girl." Mabie knocked Vera's head. She said softly, "It doesn't matter what others say. You and your father are my closest and most beloved. No one else matters."
"Mom, you're the best." Vera wrapped her hands around Mabie's arm.
They went upstairs.
The Hanover Corporation.
When Yulia came to work, she thought she would work as usual, but several people unexpectedly stopped her. One of them was the receptionist, but she had never seen the rest before.
She was stumped for a moment and looked at the group of people.
"What do you want? It's working hours now."
Her gentle voice carried a hint of a reminder.
"You're the legendary President Hanover's fiancee?"
Jennifer nodded excitedly. "It's her. She came to look for President Hanover before. She told me when I asked her."
Hearing this, Yulia frowned slightly.
"Really? Are you really President Hanover's fiancee? Then, do you know he has a girlfriend now?"
"Yeah, his girlfriend comes to the company often."
