Chapter 421


    Minerva knocked off shortly after she returned to thepany.


    She had spent the whole day outside the office and had yet to get her car back. Hence, she had to


    take a taxi back together with Vera.


    When Vera heard about the rear-end collision, her eyes widened instantly. "Rear- end collision?


    What happened to you?"


    Minerva felt bad about it, smiling faintly. "I''m probably not skillful in driving."


    "Aren''t you skillful? Don''t think you can hide from me. You have been driving cautiously all these


    while. There must be something on your mind."


    When she heard about this, Minerva was glued to the spot. Indeed, Vera knew her too well.


    They understood each other very well as they had been friends for the past five years.


    Minerva gave her a slight smile.


    "Tell me the truth. Did that b*stard, Maddox, do something to you?"


    As Vera mentioned about Maddox, Minerva recalled his words this afternoon. He said that he was


    married, yet he behaved strangely toward her, and even...


    "No," she denied immediately at the thought of it.


    "No? Then why did you hit other people''s car?"


    "At that time... I was thinking about the design. Is Helen going to participate in the press conference


    within a few days?"


    Minerva changed the subject at once. As for Vera, when she heard Minerva mention Helen''s


    conference, her eyes sparkled with delight. "That''s right. The outfits will be ready soon. When the


    timees, they''ll be sent to ourpany first, and then well send them over to Helen. Minerva,


    this is our firstpleted outfit ever since we established ourpany."


    "Yes, it is very memorable. Remember to indicate the designer''s name Kelly and take a picture for


    her."


    Vera could not resist curling her lips. "Although the outfit was designed by her, she was under your


    guidance. Besides, she is working in ourpany. It''s fine to indicate her name, yet it will be better


    to add ourpany name before her name."


    Minerva smiled helplessly. "Why are you so fussy?"


    "Humph, I''m not being fussy. Evidently, it''s to make a name for ourpany!"


    "Well, let''s discuss it with Kelly at that time."


    "Alright."


    The two of them chatted for a while before boarding the bus.


    Minerva hadn''t been on a bus for ages. It was not convenient for her to take a bus in high heels,


    especially at rush hour.


    Therefore, when Minerva and Vera returned to the Hanover family home, both of them looked a little


    worn out.


    The two nced and smiled at each other.


    It was the weekend the next day. Thus, Minerva slept in.


    The weather was good that day. Since she was free, she decided to bring Beanie to the school that


    she had previously visited. If Beanie liked it as well, she would enroll him for a week temporarily.


    "Mommy, are we really going to school today?"


    "Yes." While Minerva was tidying up Beanie''s clothes, he couldn''t help asking while raising his neck.


    "Mommy, you won''t leave me in school today, right?" At this point, Beanie held Minerva''s arm


    pitifully with a look of grievance on his face.


    Upon hearing his words, Minerva was stunned for a moment. She then let out a chuckle. "How


    could that be? Today, I''ll bring you to see whether you like the school. If you do, you will be there for


    a week to familiarize yourself."


    Beanie refused to attend school. He had learned all the knowledge from the kindergarten by his


    own and he didn''t feel the need to attend school.


    However, Minerva had no knowledge about it. When she noticed him holding her arm, she thought


    that he was just being clingy, so she held his hand and walked out. "Don''t think too much. This


    school is close to mypany. Then... I will pick you up after work and we will go home together."


    "Whoa, that''s great."


    As soon as Vera heard that they were going to visit the school, she volunteered to go with them. As


    for Quill, he was coincidentally avable on that day. Therefore, the four of them made a trip to the


    school.


    Quill drove, while the other three sat in the back.


    Two adults and a child.


    Vera was tense at once. After all, what had happened previously was still haunting her. She had no


    idea whether Quill could remember it. Perhaps he had forgotten, but she couldn''t forgive herself.


    What a shame.


    It was rare for her to be so quiet. Minerva couldn''t resist smiling. "Why aren''t you talking?"


    Vera did not respond.


    She red at Minerva. Minerva clearly knew that she was embarrassed, but still she said it out


    loud.


    Minerva held back herughter. She was merely asking casually. Beanie suddenly asked in no time,


    "Auntie Vera, why are you so afraid of my uncle?"


    Vera froze for a second.


    Were they trying to embarrass her? Could they just ignore it?


    "Are you afraid of me?" Quill asked. He couldn''t help ncing at Vera, who was sitting behind him


    through the rearview mirror.


    Vera''s heart trembled as his nce swept over her. She sat upright and shed an awkward smile


    on her face.


    "No!" Vera''s mouth twitched while exining for herself, "It''s just that I didn''t sleep wellst night.


    Haha..."


    After forcing a smile, Vera secretly poked Beanie''s backside and spoke in a low voice.


    "Brat, do you want to get me into trouble?"


    "Auntie Vera, why did you poke my backside?" Beanie widened his eyes, looking innocent and


    ignorant.


    Vera was tongue-tied.


    Quill could not resist ncing in the rearview mirror again.


    In the end, Vera could only cast a helpless look at Minerva. Minerva smiled faintly and turned away


    without paying attention to her.


    Although Beanie was a child, he was shrewd enough to matchmake for Vera and Quill.


    If Vera was to be her sister-inw, it seemed great to Minerva.


    "Did I? Were you mistaken? It''s your mom who poked you." In the end, Vera passed the buck to


    Minerva.


    Minerva paused for a moment, then suppressed herughter, saying, "Since you have said so, it''s


    me then."


    Upon hearing her words, Vera''s expression changed.


    It got even more embarrassing after Minerva was forced to admit it. If Minerva had denied it, she


    could still talk about it.


    Quill remained silent, and did not nce back through the rearview mirror again. Vera breathed a


    sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed simultaneously.


    This man had been single over the years.


    It was not easy to make him fall for her...


    s, she could only imagine about having him. He would never belong to her.

    However, Vera desired to pursue Quill since he had still remained single.
