"Uncle." Beanie kissed Quill on his handsome cheek.
Quill was stunned for a moment when he saw his face. Although he was used to seeing Beanie's face, he would always see another person in it.
Quill was shocked and Beanie hugged him around his neck.
"Uncle, you've had a long journey. Aunt Vera has cooked a lot of delicious food to welcome you."
"Is that so?" Quill came to his senses and smiled.
"Uncle, are you going to leave tonight?"
"I'll leave tomorrow. Shall I sleep with you tonight? Huh?"
"Okay." Beanie nodded hard and said, "I miss you so much."
Minerva, who was watching from the side, thought helplessly. She was the biological mother here, yet her son was closer to Vera and his uncle, but not his own mother.
However, it was not surprising. Vera and Quill both treated Beanie very well. They treated him as if he was their biological child.
Quill doted on Beanie as much as he doted on her.
As for Vera, she stayed with Beanie every day and she was almost his second mother.
About ten minutes later, Vera finally opened the kitchen door and was ready to serve all the dishes. Seeing this, Minerva went to help. Quill didn't sit still either. After they put all the food on the table, they took their seats.
After Minerva sat down and took a bite of the food, she suddenly thought of something, then she stood up and took out a bottle of red wine.
Quill saw this and couldn't help but creased his brows. "Don't you still have work tomorrow? Is it appropriate to drink?"
"It doesn't matter, just a little bit."
After saying that, Minerva poured a few glasses of wine. When Vera took the glass, she blinked her eyes. Minerva smiled and said, "Just bear with this for now, I'll accompany you to drink something else next time."
Vera's face immediately turned red. "Don't talk nonsense. I like to drink red wine too..."
When they were abroad, they would buy beer from time to time, and then they would drink at home until they were completely drunk.
As time went on, they were used to drinking a lot of alcohol and eventually both of them had increased their drinking capacity.
Furthermore, after Minerva started working, she had more social interactions and her drinking capacity got even better.
It was not difficult for her to drink a few glasses of red wine.
However, Quill creased his brows again when he saw this scene. Seeing that she drank a glass of red wine before eating and wanted to drink a second glass, he couldn't help but reach out to hold the rim of her glass.
"Quill?" Minerva came back to her senses and looked at him in surprise. "What's wrong?"
"Are you drinking before eating? Can your stomach stand it?"
"No, my stomach... should be fine."
Quill kept a serious face and wasn't joking with her.
"No. Let's eat first. We can drink after that."
While Minerva was still in a dilemma, Vera, who was sitting next to her, said in a low voice, "Don't let the cat out of the bag. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to drink."
Minerva finally recovered after hearing what Vera said. Her lips curled into a smile and said, "Got it. Let's eat first. Wine... can be ignored first."
It sounded like she meant it. Vera couldn't help rolling her eyes secretly.
In the end, Minerva was unable to control herself and drank two more glasses of wine. Quill was unable to stop her no matter how hard he tried. The red wine was too strong, and her cheeks turned red after she finished drinking. She sat there and stared blankly ahead.
Looking at this scene, Quill felt helpless and reached out to pull Beanie aside.
