Chapter 1244
Vera didn't expect the time to pass so quickly. She was originally very nervous before going on this trip.
However, they were already halfway through their trip already.
Vera could only reply with a yeah.
After that, she raised her head and glanced at the sea.
The sea was glorious at night. Because they had been here the entire time, they had the opportunity to watch the moon rising from the sea.
Across the distance, Vera saw half of the huge moon risen. Half of the moon was hidden in the water, but the other half that had already risen was reflected in the water, so it formed a full moon, which was particularly beautiful.
She couldn't help but take a photo of it and sent it to Minerva. However, she found that Minerva didn't reply to her; it kept showing that she was typing.
Huh? Feeling a little confused, Vera supported her chin with her hand as she sent the photo to her.
In the end, Minerva didn't reply to her even though she could be seen typing several times. Vera felt that it was bizarre.
What was going on? Minerva seemed to have never behaved like this when they texted in the past.
"What's going on with you?"
Minerva sent her an ellipsis again. After a while, she sent her a cute emoji.
"Nothing, I suddenly thought of something that I wanted to tell you, but I think it's better to tell you after you come back on second thought. Go and have fun first."
"Huh? Why do you need to tell me when I get back? Tell me now."
It was fine if Minerva hadn't mentioned it. But now, Vera's curiosity was piqued. She kept pestering Minerva to tell her. Minerva frowned, seeing that Vera was reluctant to let the topic go.
She bit her lower lip, remembering what had happened that day.
Because Maddox was taking care of Jelly Bean and Quill was away, Minerva intended to take Beanie to his company.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As a result, she bumped into an incident.
A woman lingered at the company's entrance, saying that she wanted to see Quill and that she was a childhood friend of his. However, she was wearing very ragged clothes. If this wasn't the 21st century, Minerva would really think that she had escaped from war.
Of course, the receptionist and the security guards of the Hanover Corporation would not let this woman in. After all, she was a mess and had no appointment. How could they let her in?
However, she did not leave but waited at the door. As soon as the receptionist and the security guards came for work, she went to them and begged. When Minerva went over with Beanie, she happened to see this scene.
"Please, I beg you. I really know Mr. Hanover. When we were childhood sweethearts, we just lost contact later. Please, help me. He will know who I am as soon as he sees me. I will be very grateful to you by then."
The receptionist was none other than Jennifer, who gave Vera a hard time previously. So she looked at the woman in front of her with disgust. "Childhood sweethearts, you're not going to tell me you were engaged to President Hanover when you were a child, are you?"
Hearing her question, the woman was shocked for a moment before nodding her head subconsciously.
Jennifer couldn't help but laugh out loud mockingly, and her tears even nearly came out.
"Ha... I've only asked casually. You really dare say so. If you were really engaged to President Hanover when you were a child, then I would have taken a bath with him when I was a child."
The woman was speechless. "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can let him come and see me."
"Pfft, you're so funny. How can I believe your words? I should ask President Hanover to meet you if I don't believe you? Our President Hanover has a busy schedule. How can he have time to see a stranger?"
"I-I'm really not a stranger." The woman's face was flushed, and she bit her lower lip, looking embarrassed. "I really know him, just..."
"Fine, let's just take it as you know
each other. But Miss, there are many women like you who want to see President Hanover every day, and all of them will say they have a close relationship with him. If he comes and sees every one of them, gan he still be the president? Wouldn't it be better if he just serves as a receptionist and attends to you guys who want to marry him and have a good life?"
The woman was rendered speechless. Her face was red, and she could not say a word.
"I think you're quite good-looking. It's not impossible for you to marry someone wealthy and live a good, life. I'll tell you a place. If you go
there, you may be able to hook
with some old men. It's not bad if you become a mistress either."
The woman became livid, and her eyes brimmed with tears as if she had been humiliated. "Even if you don't help me, how can you humiliate me like this? I mean it when I said I know Quill. I'm telling the truth!"
"Oh, aren't you just looking for a wealthy man to marry? You're already angry just because I said a few words? How can you seduce men if you're so thin-skinned?"
Jennifer's words were becoming ruder and ruder. The woman was so angry that tears were falling down her cheeks. She looked pitiful.
"I really didn't come to seduce men. I really came to find Quill."
Minerva, who was witnessing from the side, could tell that she had suffered a lot from her expression. And the way she dressed was a little... She didn't need to dress like this just to look for Quill, was it?
Just as she was deep in thought, Minerva's collar was being pulled. She lowered her head and saw little Beanie beside her.
Upon seeing Beanie, Minerva thought, "Oh no!"
The conversation just now was so unpleasant, but Beanie had heard it all. What if he learned something bad? So Minerva immediately squatted down and said with a smile, "Beanie, did you hear their

æ
conversation just now?" Content

Beanie nodded.
As expected, she heard it clearly herself, not to mention Beanie. And with his intelligence, he probably understood it.
With that, Minerva explained patiently.
"I can explain it to you, but you can't overthink, alright? The receptionist has her responsibilities. Even though she sounded rude, that's her own problem. Do you understand?"
In fact, Minerva knew that even if she didn't say it, Beanie would understand. However, he was her child, so she decided to explain it patiently. Finally, Beanie reached out and hugged Minerva's neck. He smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Mommy. I understand."
"That's good." Minerva smiled and gently ruffled Beanie's head. "Come on, let's go and have a look."
"Okay."
Minerva took Beanie's hand and led him there.
Quill didn't have any woman by his side before, but many knew he had a sister, especially that he was protective of her.
So when Minerva appeared with Beanie, everyone subconsciously greeted her.
