Chapter 657


    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, thepany is getting busier. I get dizzy every time you 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 at me like 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? Let me hear you out."


    Minerva looked at her and said, "I haven''t thought of a way to exin 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 hurt me before... 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 uncontroble 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 same for 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 me.


    This 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 time before she spoke.


    "What is it? What have you not told me?" Vera asked in confusion.


    In fact, no one was really surprised by how simr 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 came to 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 in me telling 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 time was also very


    sudden. Oftentimes, decisions were impromptu.


    "Your brother loves you very much. I think you''d better find the time to 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 control me this 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 to me that I used to do so many things to


    please Quill. Now, I want to make my own decisions. Vera, if you get the chance, maybe you can


    help me test the waters."


    Hearing this, Vera''s face was suddenly ashen. She already asked Beanie to take her to see Quill so


    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 be the norm for every meeting. Maddox usually ignored them and let them


    fight it out. When they were done, he would make a fewments and that would be it.


    However, at that moment, Maddox''s mind was filled 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 time being 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?"
