Chapter 1266
Vera's eyes immediately widened as she heard this, "Didn't you just invited me over to your place just now? Why did you change your words? You're insincere..."
She then covered her forehead and lowered her head after finishing her sentence. She didn't want to deal with him anymore.
Seeing her head hung low, Quill couldn't hold back his laughter and ruffled the back of her head.
"How am I insincere? It's inconvenient for you to go back home at this late hour. Let's go to the villa, Ko by is waiting for you there."
Koby? Ko by!
Thinking of the cute ragdoll, Vera was full of energy again. She raised her head excitedly, but then she thought about something and instantly became depressed.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Koby doesn't seem to like me. It wouldn't even let me touch its head."
"Maybe it's because you've been petting its head too frequently, and it's afraid of balding."
Quill ruffled her head as he spoke.
Vera hit his hand away angrily and said, "Then you should also stop touching my head; I'm afraid of balding too!"
Quill wasn't angry even though he was treated so. He just pulled Vera into his arms and said, "Then, let's go to where Koby's at. Let's go. Nash is waiting for us outside."
"Oh, okay."
It was already past midnight by the time they arrived at Quill's private villa. Everyone was exhausted after a whole day of moving around. Quill did not bother her anymore and let her rest after bidding goodnight.
Vera had wanted to look for Ko by, but who would've thought that ragdoll would disappear from her sight as soon as it saw her. It wouldn't come out no matter how much she called and cajoled it.
She could only lie on the big bed alone and sigh while looking at the ceiling.
She thought something would happen that night...
She didn't expect they would really just sleep on their own after bidding each other goodnight...
Um...
What on earth was she thinking about? It was already late at night; he was already asleep yet she was hoping that something would happen between them?
When did she become so lecherous?
Vera was infuriated in her heart. She tossed around and covered herself with the quilt. She then sat up a minute later and got out from the blanket.
Sh*t!
It had been a few days since that incident, and she didn't take any contraceptive pills. She wondered whether she would get pregnant or not. The possibility of getting pregnant on the first try was very unlikely...
But that night, the two of them had done it more than once...
Vera poked her fingers and contemplated while biting on her lower lip. Then, she laid back down on the bed. What was she thinking about? It would be better if she got pregnant. Quill was not afraid of her getting pregnant; why was she worried about this?
But if she really got pregnant... Perhaps they could get married just like that?
Vera couldn't help but hug her pillow and roll around on the bed as she thought about this.
Boohoo... How embarrassing!
Minerva received a call from a woman the next day.
She felt awful for disturbing them for so many days, so she no longer wanted to stay in the hotel. She said she had found a job that provided accommodation. Therefore, she would move out in two days. She even said she would return the money Minerva spent on her after getting her pay and also treat her to a meal.
She sounded very grateful and polite.
Minerva then said that she was only lending a helping hand since their families knew each other. She shouldn't take it to heart.
However, she insisted on reciprocating her act of kindness.
If it weren't for her, she couldn't imagine how she would end up.
Minerva couldn't help but wonder what she had gone through. Judging from the way she spoke and her. mannerism, she must've come from a well-off background. Why and how did she end up down and out?
However, Minerva didn't want to ask directly as she didn't mention it either. After all, this was a matter of privacy.
After chatting with Minerva for a while, the woman then asked about Quill.
She asked when Quill would return. Minerva was stunned for a moment. This woman was silent and hadn't done much lately. She was so silent that she had even forgotten about her existence.
Now that she mentioned Quill, Minerva thought she must've been pretty reliant on him; he had also returned the night before.
Minerva wasn't the kind of person who would lie.
Therefore, she said, "Quill came back last night, but he is probably resting right now. Once he has his rest, I'll inform him about this and arrange for you two to meet up. How about that?"
The woman thanked her immediately, "Thank you, Minerva... Truly, thank you."
In the afternoon, Minerva made sure Quill had gotten enough rest before she called him.
Quill was silent for a moment before he said a name.
"Yulia Maxwell?"
Oh, that's the woman.
When Minerva first heard this name, her first impression was that it was a very gentle and sophisticated name.
She then said lightly, "I forgot to ask
for it. She probably felt
embarrassed, so she didn't tell me her name. So her name was Yulia?" "I think so if my memory serves me right, that's her name. But..." Quill paused, then he explained to Minerva, "The Maxwell family and our family were close. However, the whole family migrated to Mapleland not long after Mother passed away. We then lost contact afterward. I didn't expect she had returned. I wonder how Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell are doing now; did they all come back?"
Minerva only said she met this woman and didn't mention the others. Quill probably still didn't know how down and out she had become, So she vaguely described her situation to him.
"Down and out?" Quill fell silent for a while and then said, "What happened?"
"About this... I'm not sure, either." Minerva then thought about what Yulia said to Jennifer. She felt a little anxious and couldn't help but think about
Vera.
"Quill, do you want to meet with Yulia? I've arranged for her to stay at a hotel. If you want to, I can make the appointment."
"Sure."
Quill agreed to it.
Minerva arranged a dinner at five in the evening. She handed Jelly Bean over to Maddox and was ready to head out alone.
In the end, with the high-sounding excuse of worrying about her safety, Maddox insisted that she had to take him and Jelly Bean along.
After that, Beanie also said he hadn't seen Uncle Quill for a long time and that he missed him a lot. Hence, he also wanted to tag along.
It was initially only a three-person meeting, but it eventually became a meeting of six.
They were Maddox and the two children.
Minerva glared at Maddox and Beanie. She couldn't help but complained, "This was an arrangement for them to meet, but now you two insisted on coming too. What if they feel awkward later?"
Maddox said expressionlessly, "It's just a gathering, not a blind date. What is there to feel awkward about?"
He had his point; it was not a blind date. They were only there to have a meal. It seemed like there was indeed nothing to feel awkward about.
Beanie, on the other hand,
surprisingly agreed with his father
and said, "That's right, Mommy. Besides, Auntie Vera is going to be Uncle Quill's wife in the future, Chave to help her keep an eye on uncle since he's meeting another lady."
