Vera left immediately after putting the glass of water in front of Quill.
He frowned subconsciously and took a glimpse of her. She immediately said, "I just remembered that I haven't tidied up my clothes yet. I will go and do it now."
After that, she quickly turned around and slipped away to her room.
He was speechless at that moment.
Minerva also remained silent.
Seeing Vera going into the room, Minerva couldn't help but ask, "Quill, don't be so fierce. Did you see how scared she is?"
Upon hearing that, he gave her a cold gaze and said, "Vera is bold enough to take Beanie away without informing me at all."
She bit her lower lip and decided to cover up for Vera.
"In fact, she didn't mean to be here. I was the one thinking that there was no progress here. That was why I had sent her a message and asked her to bring Beanie to me," she explained.
He didn't believe her words at all. He raised his eyebrows as he asked, "Are you going to go through thick and thin with her?"
"No Quill, it's not like that... I really did send her a message and asked her to come over," Minerva said.
"Do you have any evidence?" He asked.
She was lost for words at that instant.
She didn't expect Quill to ask that. She kept standing dazedly for a long time before she murmured, "That... I sent the message but I have cleared up my phone storage."
"Is that so?" Quill asked calmly.
Minerva suddenly became speechless. She felt that she could not conceal the truth no matter what she said. How could Quill not know her character? The reason she did not allow Beanie to come over was that she had planned to settle things first and only bring him over after Maddox could fully regain his memories.
However, at the moment, Maddox had yet to do so. She even mentioned that she had sent Vera a message, asking her to bring Beanie over.
It was not persuasive at all.
Minerva then stopped talking because she knew that Quill wouldn't believe anything she said.
She lowered her head. All of a sudden, she felt extremely down.
Quill was stunned for a moment. Recalling that his tone might be too harsh at the last moment, he suddenly felt a little remorseful when he saw Minerva who had just suffered a blow.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to talk to you using that tone just now..." He apologized.
"I know," Minerva interrupted him. "I know that you're just worried about me, but I'm an adult. I can do whatever I want. Including Vera, she knows what she's doing. Since she dares to bring Beanie out, that means that it's not her own idea."
Speaking of that, Minerva raised her head and met his eyes.
"Since Beanie is also willing to be here, why are you blaming Vera?" She asked.
Quill could see that she was defending Vera. He couldn't even criticize her. Initially, he was looking for Vera to argue with her about this matter. It didn't matter what she wanted to do. However, what he cared about the most was that she didn't inform him at all before leaving with Beanie.
"What if something happened on the way?" He pondered to himself.
Thinking of that, his voice turned gentler.
"Since this is what you want, then I got it," he said.
"No, I don't," Minerva interrupted him. "I'm just telling the truth. If you want to blame Vera or even Beanie, I would say he is bolder among them. If he didn't instruct Vera, she would never have taken him to me," Minerva said.
In this case, it seemed to be reasonable.
However... Quill frowned as he looked at his sister. She was not kind to her own son at all.
"Isn't she worried that I will scold Beanie?" Quill pondered to himself.
However, this was not something he should worry about at the moment. He didn't say anything else and tried to persuade her. "Alright, I got it. Don't get angry."
