"l-l haven't agreed to his proposal."
"Tsk." Minerva looked mockingly at the diamond ring. "You've already put on the ring, yet you're here being all mawkish. I thought you loved Quill?"
"I do, but... he was engaged to another woman! It was already good enough that I can forgive him."
Hearing that, the smile on Minerva's face faded.
"You've found out."
Vera looked at her in shock.
"What do you mean, Minerva? Don't tell me you knew about this long ago. Why didn't you tell me?"
"The reason I didn't tell you is very simple. Quill only has eyes for you, so I didn't think it was necessary to tell you about it and let you worry for nothing. Besides, when I talked to Yulia, she had come to terms that he has a girlfriend, so I thought she wouldn't make a move. But it seems I was wrong."
Minerva didn't think Yulia was someone wicked.
However, based on her attitude when the two of them chatted that day, Minerva could tell she was probably not one to be kind when it came to relationships.
A lot of people had high moral grounds and worldviews.
But it'd be easy for them to lose their minds when it had anything to do with relationships. Because it was something that could overwhelm their every logic.
But as long as they did not harm others, they could do whatever they wanted.
No one had the right to point fingers at them. It was the most basic respect.
However, Quill had a girlfriend, and Yulia clearly knew about it. If she chose to harm their relationship, it would be a matter of morality.
"Oh, right." Vera remembered an important point and said, "The day I left, she sent me a message."
"Huh? What message?”
"She said although she was engaged to Quill, he had chosen me, so he'd shoulder the responsibility."
Minerva was at a loss for words.
What a pretentious b*tch.
Minerva didn't think Yulia would do this. Her impression of Yulia the first time she met her was completely different from that day.
Good and evil within a moment's thought, huh?
Minerva began to ponder.
"Minerva, I don't know if I'm petty, but I keep having the feeling that she has ulterior motives. Not only that, she even sat in the front passenger seat of your brother's car the other day. I know her family used to be close to yours, but I really don't like her, and I don't want to be friends with her either."
"You don't have to force yourself to do either. If she deliberately upsets you, then just do the same to her. An eye for an eye."
"As long as you don't criticize me for it. I'm just worried if the relationship between your families turns sour because of me, then I'll..." Vera didn't finish her sentence, but Minerva understood what she meant.
She patted Vera's cheek lightly and said, "Relax. If anything does happen, I have your back. Besides, it's our parents who had close ties, not us. We're just family friends, and not that we owe her family anything. As long as she doesn't do anything bad, the two families will not have any bad blood."
Only then Vera nodded.
The next day, Quill took Vera to choose a wedding gown.
He didn't say anything at first; it wasn't until after she got in the car and asked that Quill told her about the plan.
Then she immediately blushed. "1-1 haven't even said yes. Why are you already taking me to choose a wedding gown?"
"I don't see a difference." Quill looked at her with a faint smile. "We're not in a rush anyway. We can get your measurements and choose a design first. You can take your time considering my proposal."
Vera was rendered speechless.
