Vera coughed lightly as she heard this and said, "I have already found a partner in crime; I won't fall behind." "As long as you're confident. Remember to let the word out and hire an assistant soon." "Well... Okay, the company is getting busier. I get dizzy every tyou aren't around. We'd better hire one." After they reached a consensus, Minerva thought of her own worries. She sat down in front of her desk and looked at Vera, who seemed to want to speak but stopped on a second thought. "What's the matter with you? Just say what you want to say. Don't sit there and look atlike a resentful woman. Fortunately, I am a woman, or people will think that I am a heartless jerk." Minerva was speechless.
Vera set down the documents in her hand to one side, then pulled a chair and sat down beside Minerva.
"Tell me, what are you upset about? Lethear you out." Minerva looked at her and said, "I haven't thought of a way to explain it to you yet." Vera thought about what happened in the past few days and asked directly, "Did you get back together with him?" Although she was a little embarrassed, Minerva bit her lower lip and nodded. Perhaps she was nervous so after she nodded, she asked a question.
"Am I being stupid? I made up my mind not to be with him again. After all, he hurtbefore... But I..." She looked down, carrying a bit of guilt, "I can't seem to control myself." Vera was a little touched at how sad she was. She grabbed her hand and whispered, "What's wrong with that? Love is uncontrollable and you can't hide the feelings you have for someone. In the past five years, I have been by your side. Of course, I know that you have always had him in your heart, so I encouraged you to be with him. In fact, everyone's the same. When you really like someone, even if you know the path ahead won't be easy, you will still want to dive right in." It was the sfor her. Although she knew that Quill didn't like her, she couldn't give him up.
She knew that if she chose to give up, she would be hurt less.
However, all she had eyes for was Quill, as if he was the only man she could see.
What could she do? Should she give up on him and live alone for the rest of her life? Vera knew she would never like anyone else as much as she liked Quill. After all, she had liked him for so long. So... While she still had a chance, she had to try her best.
Like a moth drawn to a flame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was purely instinctual.
Just like how Minerva liked Maddox, or how Maddox liked Minerva.
After five years, neither of them changed.
It was destiny.
"In fact, there's one thing I haven't told you all these years." Minerva was silent for a long tbefore she spoke.
"What is it? What have you not told me?" Vera asked in confusion.
In fact, no one was really surprised by how similar Beanie and Maddox looked. After all, he and Minerva were married before. Everyone assumed the child she had after their divorce belonged to him. However, Minerva didn't know anything about this. Sylvia tricked her previously, so she thought Benedict was the father.
Furthermore, Maddox did not know what happened on that rainy night, although the entire world knew the child belonged to him and Minerva.
The two of them were the only ones who were in the dark.
Now that Minerva knew the truth, there was only one person left who did not know; Maddox, who was the father. "What's the matter? Say something," Vera waved her hand in front of her.
Minerva cto her senses and shook her head. "Huh? What did I just say? I forgot." Vera stared at her silently.
"Maybe I shouldn't say it. After all, they already know. What's the point intelling them?" Minerva thought.
It was better to keep these things buried.
"Are you that forgetful? How could you forget so quickly?" "Actually, I wanted to ask, if I let Beanie meet his father, should I... hold a ceremony or something?" "Meet his father? You're finally going to let Maddox see Beanie? Aren't you afraid? I mean, I guess you guys are back together now. Even if Maddox sees Beanie, he won't take the child back. But... Have you told your brother about this?" Quill.
He never agreed for her and Maddox to be together. What happened this twas also very sudden. Oftentimes, decisions were impromptu.
"Your brother loves you very much. I think you'd better find the tto tell him, or... I'm afraid you guys will get into a fight," Vera said worriedly.
Minerva bit her lower lip and said, "I haven't thought about how to tell Quill yet, and... I feel like I can decide what I want to do with my life. Even if it was my parents, they shouldn't controlthis much right?" "But he is still your brother. He's been so good to you."
"I know," Minerva nodded. "It's because he's been too kind tosto that I used to do so many things to e please Quill. Now, I want to make my own decisions. Vera, if you get the chance, maybe you can helptest the waters."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing this, Vera's face was suddenly ashen. She already asked Beanie to take her to see Quill son shamelessly. If she stood in front of him and talked about this, wouldn't it make him unhappy? "No, I'm not going to. I won't help with this. You can find a chance to talk about it yourself." "I knew you wouldn't. I'll see when I can tell him myself then/ Minerva said.
Meanwhile, after Maddox returned, he didn't go back to the conference room. Sam said everyone left, but he didn't get angry. He just summoned everyone back to the meeting again. Then, the meeting continued.
In the middle of the meeting, Maddox was in a daze again.
The senior shareholders had begun debating back and forth, and it was heated.
This seemed to becthe norm for every meeting. Maddox usually ignored them and let them fight it out. When they were done, he would make a few comments and that would be it. However, at that moment, Maddox's mind was filled wet them fightrit with something else. What would be a good gift to give to his son he was about to meet? He said at the airport that he had prepared a gift. In fact, he was just trying to show off in front of Minerva.
It was his first tbeing a father, and he had never even met the child.
How could he know what to give him? He even told Minerva that it was a secret; he actually just didn't want her to know. Thinking of this, Maddox felt his head starting to hurt and he pursed his thin lips.
"Young Master Yardley, what do you think of my suggestion?" A senior asked. Maddox looked up at him and suddenly said.
"What do kids generally like?" X
