Chapter 484


    When Minerva returned to the Hanover family''s house, she went straight to the kitchen and cooked


    soup by herself.


    She thought that Maddox must have some light food since he was injured so badly.


    Furthermore, she was still thinking about how he was going to sleep at night with his back hurt. It


    was impossible for him toy down on his back. After all, pressing on the wound would only worsen


    the wound.


    Then would he have toy down?


    Whenever she thought of how a tall and big figure had ended up on the small bed in the ward and


    forced toy face down, she couldn''t help but want tough at the thought of it.


    Afterughing for a while, Minerva felt that he was also in a miserable state at that moment. If it


    wasn''t for her, his back wouldn''t have been injured like that. If not for him, the personying there


    was probably her and not him.


    Moreover, if he hadn''t blocked it for her at that time, then she was afraid that her face and body


    would have already been...


    After thinking carefully, Minerva didn''t dare to think any further. She quickly cooked the soup and


    then took out a thermos to pour the soup into it. After thinking for some time, she cooked a few


    more light dishes herself.


    Her cooking skills were quite good. She had always been able to cook, but she hadn''t been cooking


    frequently for long. It was because Vera''s cooking skills were much better than hers and Beanie


    also liked it better. Thus, while they had been living together all these time, Vera basically cooked all


    the meals.


    Although her culinary skills might have been a little out of practice, they were still around.


    Minerva quickly finished tidying up the things. She carried the thermos and was about to leave the


    house.


    Just as she walked out of the kitchen, she bumped into Quill, who had a cold expression on his


    face.


    Minerva felt a little guilty as she faced Quill''s stern gaze. She shifted the thermos in her hand to the


    other side in an attempt to avoid Quill''s gaze.


    But what was the use of that? How could Quill not know what she wanted to do?


    No matter how hard she tried to cover it, it would not be of much use.


    Thinking of this, Minerva could only stand still and then looked at Quill.


    "Quill."


    No matter what, she had to greet him.


    Quill pressed his thin lips together, and his eyes were a little cold then he said, "You still know to


    address me, is it?"


    Minerva replied, "Why wouldn''t I?"


    "Do you still remember who hurt you five years ago?


    Have you forgotten all about it?" Quill stared at her sharply. "Five years; five whole years have


    passed, and you have really forgotten all of it? Now you even send yourself voluntarily to him.


    Minerva, where''s your pride?"


    "What do you think I should do then? That man took the blow for me, and now he is lying in the


    hospital with wounds all over his body. If it wasn''t for him, the person who would be lying there right


    now would be me. The person who would be bringing food over would be you. Are you still going to


    stop me now?"


    Quill said, "Then you must know that if it wasn''t for him, you wouldn''t have been in trouble in the first


    ce. If you get close to him again, there will still be more trouble in the future. He can help you


    once but what about the second or third time when these kinds of things happen again? Or even for


    the rest of your life?"


    Minerva''s expression changed slightly when she heard him.


    "I am not thinking about all that now. I don''t have any other thoughts about him. Even if it was a


    stranger who had helped me, I would still go to the hospital to do my part. I am just being kind and


    righteous; there are no personal feelings involved."


    Quill stared at her. "Are you sure ? Can you promise me that you won''t get together with him


    anymore?"


    Minerva nodded, "Sure, I promise. I''ve never had the thought of being together with him again so


    you don''t have to worry about this. Also, I want to tell you that no matter if I end up being together


    with him or not, it''s my own business. I have the ability to handle it myself."


    Quill walked over and grabbed her shoulder.


    "I don''t want to control you. You are the daughter of the Hanover family now. I don''t want you to


    repeat the same mistakes as before. Do you understand?"


    "I understand; of course I understand. However, I am not a child anymore. How can you understand


    my thoughts? I want to make decisions for my own life, and not... be led by others as well as the life


    that others have prepared for me. I don''t want to live that kind of life."


    Quill stared at her and did not say anything. He then let go of her shoulder and turned to leave.


    She didn''t know if Quill understood her or not, but she didn''t want to think too much, so she left


    quickly holding the thermos.


    Quill walked over to theer and turned his head to look at the figure that didn''t look back. His


    eyes darkened.


    Vera stood behind him and said in a weak voice, "Mr, Mr. Hanover, don''t be angry. Minerva is a


    softhearted person. No matter who saved her from harm, she would take care of them. She didn''t


    go to the hospital because of him. It was because of what he did."


    Vera had been avoiding Quill for a long time ever since thest time she kissed him. She had


    gathered up all her courage when she called him and she faltered when she spoke. However, the


    more times she appeared around him, Vera found that she was not so nervous anymore.


    The kiss had happened already. What''s the big deal anyways?


    An old man who has never been in a rtionship; what would happen even if he was kissed by a


    girl?


    Hmph, you can''t just fall in love with a kiss, can you? If you really fall in love with her, and have


    feelings for her...

    Then wouldn''t it be... an advantage for her?


    Thinking of this, Vera became more justified.


    The Prince Charming was not young anymore and time wouldn''t wait, so she should better cherish


    it now. Otherwise, if she waited for a few more years, her Prince Charming would get even older!


    While thinking about it, Quill looked at Vera. She shivered and felt that all the thoughts in her mind


    just now were all gone.


    She bit her lower lip and said, "Well... I''m just telling the truth. Minerva and I have known each other


    for a long time, so..."


    When she bit her lower lip, Quill thought of what had happened that day.


    The little girl in front of him had suddenlye up to kiss him. No one had shocked him like that


    before, so this matter had affected him for a long time. Even at night, it would also appear in his


    dreams.


    Vera shivered under his gaze and she took a step back subconsciously.


    "Then... If you think what I said is wrong, then I, I will... leave first."


    After saying that, she was ready to turn around.


    Quill suddenly stopped her and said, "You."


    Vera stopped and then she turned around while pointing at herself, "Me?"


    "Yes." Quill''s eyes were calm as theynded on her face. Finally, his eyes shifted to her lips.


    His focus was so obvious that Vera could feel it all at once. Then, instantly, she felt her face burning.


    She was so embarrassed that she did not dare to look at him and asked, "What''s wrong?"


    Quill didn''t say a word. He silently took two steps forward and the steady aura on his body pressed


    over.


    Vera''s face suddenly turned red and she took a big step back.


    "You, what are you doing? Don''te over!"


    After saying that, she turned around and ran away!
