Thinking of this, Minerva pursed her lips and smiled. Vera was really persistent, but this was considered great. With Quill's cold temper, it was true that Vera was the only one who could warm his ice-cold heart.
She sat down first and looked at the countless plates of delicious food in front of her. She couldn't help but want to dig in.
However, nobody had arrived yet. She was too embarrassed to eat first, so she could only sit there with one hand on her cheek. She took out her phone to play with it out of boredom.
She had just tapped on Facebook when she saw Maddox's chat head. Then, she thought of the words he had whispered into her ear, and her face flushed red.
She bit her lower lip. She thought... He was really eager to marry her.
Thinking of this, she smirked and gently rubbed his name across the screen with her snow-white fingers.
"Your lustful smile is enough to give me goosebumps." At some point, she suddenly heard Vera's mocking voice from beside her. Minerva glanced sideways and saw her sitting beside her.
There were some doubts in her heart. When she looked around just now, there was no one around her. When did Vera suddenly and silently sit down at her side?
Seeing Minerva's strange gaze staring at herself, Vera couldn't help explaining, "Don't look at me like this. You were the one who was lost in your thoughts. I was calling out to you just now, but you didn't seem to hear me."
Upon hearing this, Minerva was taken aback for a moment.
Did Vera call out to her just now?
It seemed impossible that she didn't hear her.
Just as she was feeling suspicious, Vera came up to her with a playful smile. "What are you thinking about? Minerva, your expression seemed odd. Could it be that... You're thinking about something naughty?"
Minerva was speechless.
She looked at the evil expression on Vera's face. Vera was obviously single, but every time she mentioned her and Maddox, she would always put on the mischievous and unfathomable smirk. It was as if she knew everything.
When she thought about this, Minerva pressed her lips together.
"You won't understand even if I tell you. You don't have that kind of experience."
The smile on Vera's face suddenly froze.
After a long while, she furiously tried to strangle her. "Minerva, you are mocking me for being single. Humph, if it wasn't that hard to pursue my crush, would I still be single now? Not to mention that you even laughed at me!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth, "I'll strangle you right now. I'll do it right away!"
Minerva still had a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't take her words seriously at all.
All of a sudden, Vera withdrew her hand away in an instant. Moreover, the look on her face just now had disappeared, and her eyes were filled with horror. After glancing around, she quickly lowered her eyes and did not dare to look straight at the newcomer.
Minerva looked at her change of expression. She could probably guess who it was.
Who else could make Vera's mood change so drastically except for Quill?
She slowly smoothed out her collar and hair, and then she sat down in her seat.
"Mommy, Auntie Vera." A child- like voice echoed from behind. Minerva turned around and found that Quill was holding onto Beanie. The two of them walked over.
Huh?
Did Beanie actually go and look for him?
No wonder that she hadn't seen him anywhere.
Thinking of this, Minerva scolded in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you that you can't interrupt your uncle when he has a meeting? Beanie, were you not listening to me?"
Hearing this, he blinked and immediately defended himself, "Mommy, I didn't disturb Uncle Quill. I asked Madam Sophia about it, and she said that Uncle Quill was done with his conference. Only then did I go to look for him."
After that, he looked up at Quill.
"Am I telling the truth?"
