Chapter 688


    He said calmly with a poker face. It seemed that this matter was not worth mentioning. It was just a


    gentleman''s action.


    The sparks in Vera''s eyes were subsided by his actions and words in the next second.


    s, she thought that... Quill had picked up a drumstick for her as a gesture of affection.


    She didn''t expect that it was just a gentleman''s act.


    She felt a little sullen as she was overthinking things.


    However, the fact that he was willing to give her a drumstick meant that she was not an uninvited


    guest. All the negative thoughts in her mind suddenly disappeared.


    Vera held the drumstick and was so moved that tears almost welled up. "Oh, Quill isn''t so


    indifferent. At least... He is a gentleman."


    As long as she continued to work harder, she could get closer and closer to him.


    "Why are you staring at me? Eat up!"


    Quill saw that Minerva and Beanie were still looking at him, and only Vera was eating the drumstick


    joyously. He flicked their heads with his spoon and scolded them in a low voice.


    Minerva came to her senses and lowered her head to dig in.


    After taking a small bite, a faint smile appeared on her face as she saw Vera, who looked blissful.


    Was there... something that was secretly changing?


    It seemed that Quill was the only one who would know.


    Because of this small interruption, the atmosphere of the meal was somewhat subtle. However,


    everyone had different thoughts in their minds.


    Everyone was eating in silence.


    Just as Quill was about to say something to Minerva, his phone started to ring. He lowered his head


    to look at the caller ID before turning to look at her.


    She looked at him in confusion.


    Quill was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Minerva, wait for me in the study."


    Then, he got up to answer the phone and went out.


    After he left, Vera, who had been shrinking her head, regained her spirits. She looked up and


    nced at Minerva.


    "Minerva, did you see that? Quill gave me a drumstick just now."


    Minerva looked at her with a strange expression.


    "Is that why you kept sucking on the drumstick?"


    Vera was speechless.


    Since Quill gave her a drumstick, she was moved. She stopped eating other dishes and only


    focused on the drumstick.

    Minerva pursed her lips and patted Vera''s shoulder without hesitation.


    "The dishes today are really delicious. Are you sure you don''t want to stay and eat anymore?"


    "Humph, I don''t want to!"


    "Listen to me. Quill gave me a drumstick. I''m really touched. Don''t you think he is a little bit


    interested in me?"


    "I think he might?" Minerva tilted her head slightly. She wouldn''t mind lying if it would fill Vera with


    hope again.


    Hearing this, Vera clenched her fists immediately.


    "Okay! I will work harder! Suddenly, I feel that my efforts before were not in vain."


    Minerva was not interested in toying with her and left Beanie and Vera where they were. Then, she


    stood up to help clean up the tes and cutleries. After washing her hands, she went to Quill''s


    study.


    The study was quiet and clean. Everything was neatly arranged on the bookshelves.


    Quill was indeed a rigorous and serious person.


    It didn''t seem bad for him and Vera to be together.


    However, Minerva knew that love was not something that could be forced. Even if Quill did not end


    up with Vera in the end, she would not think that there was anything wrong with it.


    She waited for a while, but Quill didn''t return yet. She muttered about how he was still so upied


    on a Sunday and then sat down in front of hisputer and used it to surf the Inte.


    It was really boring while waiting for him. She yed a casual online game, but it bored her. She


    waited until she was about to fall asleep, and then she heard some moring from the other end of


    the door.


    Minerva was lying there, her eyelids twitching. Only when she heard the voice did she raise her


    head and look over.


    When Quill came in, he was holding a phone in his hand. Seeing her lyingzily, he shut the door of


    the study with his hand and walked towards her.


    "Are you sleepy?"


    Hearing this, she sat up and rubbed her eyes with her hands. Tve been waiting for you for a long


    time. Are you so busy every weekend? There was a video conference in the morning. Do you still


    need to have another conference at noon?"


    She sounded teasing. Quill could not help butugh. He looked at Minerva and curled his lips into a


    smile as he spoke.


    "The conference has been called off in advance."


    She was a little surprised, "My guess was right? Quill, how busy are you?"


    "Didn''t you say that you are also very busy every weekend when you were arguing with me earlier?"


    She was a little embarrassed. She didn''t expect him to throw it back to her. She stood up and said,


    "You called me here. What''s the matter?" "Can''t I call you when I''m free? There are only two of us


    left in the Hanover family, and you shoulde back here more often when you''re free."


    There were only two siblings left in the entire Hanover family. This sentence touched her. She


    paused for a moment and then remembered what the servants had said to her.


    Seeing how rxed Quill was, it seemed that he still was unaware of her and Maddox''s matters.


    So... Since she had already made up her mind to confess, there was no need to hesitate.


    Thinking of this, Minerva stared directly at Quill and said.


    "Quill, I have something to tell you."


    "Huh?" He was really busy recently. He was so upied that he didn''t really pay attention to her


    recently. What''s more, they almost quarreledst time, so he had always felt sorry for Minerva.


    It took him much effort to finally find her. How could he be fierce to her?


    Thinking of this, he nodded. "Go ahead."


    Looking at how calm he was, she took a deep breath. She seemed to be thinking about how she


    should tell this to him. After giving it some thought, Minerva decided that she should go straight to


    the point.


    In any case, he would find out sooner orter. Rather than beating around the bush, she might as


    well speak the truth.


    Minerva said enthusiastically.


    "I''m here to take back my ount book."


    "The ount book?"


    Quill''s eyes were nk. He didn''t seem to realize what Minerva wanted to do with the ount book.


    He thought that since she was his sister, he should listen to her.


    He was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head.


    "Sure, take it."


    Minerva was stupefied.


    "That''s it?"


    Why did Quill allow her to take it? He looked calm. Unless he couldn''t figure out what she was going


    to use the ount book for?


    Minerva bit her lower lip and asked carefully, "Aren''t you going to ask me why do I need my ount


    book?"


    Quill looked at her. "Why?"


    "To register..."
