Chapter 1209
Minerva and Maddox's honeymoon trip was now Quill and Vera's, just like that.
Maddox had thought about such an idea. He wanted to have a honeymoon trip immediately after the wedding, but Minerva didn't want to wear a wedding dress while she was pregnant, so the wedding was put on hold.
When he brought it up again, this time, Minerva refused on the spot.
She didn't want to wear a wedding dress because she felt that she didn't have a nice figure.
Besides, she had just given birth to a baby. Who would want to wear a wedding dress when they still had a postpartum belly? After all, it was a once- in-a-lifetime thing.
Maddox stared at her as he held her wrist, but she couldn't make out his expression. Minerva grew a little guilty under his gaze.
"What is it?" Minerva asked.
"You're just afraid of wearing a wedding dress, aren't you?" Maddox pointed it out.
Minerva's heart skipped a beat under his accusation. She hadn't expected Maddox to be able to guess her thoughts so quickly.
She took a deep breath to hide her feelings. She said, a little annoyed, "Of course I'm scared. My figure hasn't gone back to normal size. What if the guests make fun of me?"
Maddox looked at her deeply.
What about a wedding without guests? Just you and me."
He was stubborn about putting on a wedding dress for her.
Minerva became even more flustered at his determination. In fact, Maddox was right. She thought of their past two weddings.
The first time, he sat in a wheelchair and didn't even glance at her. After the ceremony was over, she was sent directly to the bridal chamber.
The second time, he was met with an accident, so he didn't even show up at the wedding venue; she was surrounded by reporters alone.
It was as if... her wedding was not blessed by the heavens.
Therefore, Minerva felt as long as she could continue to live like this, she wouldn't mind even if there was no wedding.
As far as she was concerned, it was just a ceremony.
Thus, Minerva shook her head gently. "Let's forget it. As long as I can be with you, I don't care about having a wedding or not."
She didn't want to be separated from him again. She wouldn't be able to handle it.
When she thought about how Maddox had fallen into the sea, she felt as if her heart was being strangled, making it difficult for her to breathe. Maddox felt the sudden change in her and felt helpless. He wrapped her in his arms.

He wanted to give her a grand wedding. He wanted to help her put on a wedding dress and put a ring on her finger.
But if she didn't care about these things, there was no need for him to persist.
On the other side, Vera was ready to set off.
She had packed all her things. Quill called her two minutes ago and said that he would pick her up. Vera became nervous and started heading for the door.
However, Mabie stopped her.
"He just called you, and it will take him about 20 minutes to get here. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Vera was so nervous that she couldn't explain
herself.
When Mabie saw her daughter's expression, she couldn't help poking her forehead.
"Can you have a little more dignity?"
Vera rubbed her sore forehead and bit her lower lip. She said, dissatisfied, "How do I not have dignity?"
"You do? You're just going on a trip, and you're already this nervous. How are you going to be commanding when you get married in the future?" Commanding? Vera's eyes widened in surprise. Her mother had wanted her to be commanding after she married; how was this possible?
"What? Don't tell me you've never thought about it?" Mabie asked.
Vera shook her head.
"Honestly! What am I supposed to say about you? How can you have never thought about it? If you don't be commanding, what will you do if he becomes unfaithful?" Mabie was like that in front of David, and she wanted her daughter to do the same.
Who would've thought that Vera would glare at her and refute directly?
"Quill is not such a person!"
She said angrily, "Mom, don't say such nonsense.
This is my personal affair. I will deal with it myself."
"Silly girl, how are you going to deal with it? Judging from your guts, you would be controlled even after getting married." Mabie could only hope that Quill would stay the same even after marriage. Too many men in this world were good at hiding their true colors; they would only show their worst side after marriage.
However Quill didn't look like that kind of person.
"So be it..." Vera didn't know whether she would marry him at all. Who knew what would happen in the future.
"You silly girl... forget it. Everyone has their own blessings. Perhaps you are a silly girl who also has your blessing.'
"
After all, even she didn't think her daughter could be with someone like Quill. Although she wasn't prejudiced, they still needed to be properly matched. She had heard that Quill's parents already passed, so even if Vera married Quill, she wouldn't have a hard time.
Soon, Quill arrived. Vera rushed downstairs with her suitcase. Probably because she was afraid Mabie would come down and talk to Quill, so she urged Nash to leave as soon as she got into the car.
Nash was confused, but he did as she said since she was Mr. Hanover's girlfriend.
Seeing her nervousness, Quill, who was sitting next to her, wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing his words, Vera remembered what Mabie had said to her earlier and smiled awkwardly. "It's nothing."
She guiltily turned her head away.
If Quill knew that they had been talking about marriage, she didn't know whether he would think she was...
Upon arriving at the airport, they were welcomed by a travel agent, Dimitri. His eyes shone, looking at Quill's extraordinary presence. Then, he looked at Vera, who was next to him, and thought they looked like a perfect match. So he praised them, "Mr. and Mrs. Hanover sure look like a perfect match."
Newlyweds usually loved these praises. So he would naturally butter up.
Vera flushed red the moment she heard his words. She looked at Dimitri and asked, unsure. "Mrs... Mrs. Hanover?"
Dimitri looked confused, but he still answered, "Yes, Mrs. Hanover, you've booked our honeymoon trip. Is everything okay?"
Vera was at a loss for words.
She looked at Quill, embarrassed. She asked in a whisper, "Should we explain?"
