Chapter 701


    Both mother and son hid under the nket and stared at the diamond ring.


    "Is it nice?"


    Beanie raised his head and met Minerva''s expectant and hopeful gaze. There was a faint smile on


    her pink lips. The smile seemed sincere.


    He had lived with his mommy for so many years. Although she often smiled at him, this was a smile


    he had never seen before.


    Although he didn''t know much about it.


    He swallowed his words, and then he muttered.


    "Mommy, you are too easily satisfied."


    Easily satisfied?


    She did not think so. As long as Maddox was sincere, it was enough for her.


    "Silly, I was married to him before. I''m not marrying anyone else."


    "But, Mommy, you''ve been wronged before."


    Oh.


    She thought about it for a long time and thought the little guy did not understand adult rtionships.


    She could only pinch his nose and said, "There are just a lot of things that are hard for me to exin


    right now. The only thing you have to remember is that it is my choice."


    "Oh, okay. Mommy... If you are wronged, you must tell me. I will handle the bad men for you!"


    Maddox was about to enter his room when he heard what Beanie said. As such, he stopped in his


    tracks and retreated. He stopped at the corner and looked extremely depressed.


    This little guy was hostile towards him...


    He seemed to hate him very much!


    Minerva stayed in Ocean Vi for another two days and didn''t go to work. All she did was eat and


    sleep over the past few days. When she looked in the mirror, her face seemed chubby.


    She pinched the flesh around her waist and began to worry.


    Should she lose weight?


    Just as she was thinking, Quill called.


    "Quill?" Minerva was a little surprised but also nervous. She had a hunch that it wasn''t something


    good for him to call her right then.


    After all, she just returned home a few days ago and asked for her ount book, but he refused to


    hand it over to her.


    Quill''s indifferent voice echoed from the other end of the phone.


    "You''ve been with Maddox for the past few days?"


    Minerva tried her best to figure out what he was feeling through his tone. After contemting, she


    couldn''t seem to tell what he was thinking...


    He seemed too calm to be angry.


    However, there was something wrong with that calmness.


    He shouldn''t be so calm and indifferent.


    "Yes..."


    Minerva nodded her head honestly.


    "Do you really love him? Have you forgotten what happened five years ago?"


    She froze.


    "Quill, I..."


    "Answer me when you''ve thought it through."


    She took a deep breath. Without even thinking about it, she said, "Quill, if I could forget it, I would


    have forgotten it five years ago. Now, I''ve reconciled with him. Isn''t this the best proof that we are in


    love? I need not say more."


    Through the phone, she could almost feel his helplessness after hearing these words. Although she


    knew this might sadden him, if she really wanted a future with Maddox, then she had to say it


    eventually.


    If this dragged on, Quill might assume that he could still persuade her.

    Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the other side fell intoplete silence.


    Minerva was not worried. Since he did not hang up on her, there was nothing to worry about.


    Some time had passed, and he finally spoke. His voice sounded helpless.


    "When are you getting married?"


    "Quill?"


    She thought her ears were ying tricks on her.


    Did he just ask when she was getting married? Did this mean that he wasplying?


    "What''s the matter?" Quill asked. "Are you not nning on having a reception?"


    "No, that''s not it," she quickly shook her head. "Maddox was saying that we''re getting married next


    month. I''m just... a little surprised that you''replying this quickly."


    "What else can I do? You are my only sister. If you really have to be with him, I wouldn''t want you to


    die a widow." What Maddox said also reminded him that, as a brother, he had been lonely for a long


    time now, and he could continue to live this way.


    However, his sister was different.


    Minerva tasted love, and she could not forget that person. If she was not to marry again or marry


    the wrong person, wouldn''t it be agonizing for her?


    Rather than suffering for the rest of her life, it would be better to... allow her to risk it again.


    With Maddox, he had everything on the line. Being Minerva''s elder brother, he was willing to let her


    take this risk.


    She did not know what to say. She was a little moved, and her eyes were watery. She did not


    expect Quill to give his blessing so quickly. In the end, it was because he cared for her.


    "Thank you, Quill," She bit her lower lip, held back the tears, and expressed her gratitude to him.


    Then, she heard a soft yet helpless chuckle from the other end of the phone. His tone was loving.


    "You are the Hanover family''s only daughter. If you get bullied once you get married, the Hanover


    family has your back, no matter where or when. You hear me?"


    "Yes!" Minerva nodded her head heavily. "I know, Quill!"


    "I need to go for a meeting. I''ll hang up now. Remember to let me know the date of the wedding."


    She nodded and said goodbye to him before hanging up the phone.


    She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn''t help but tear up.


    But soon, Minerva reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. Then, she lifted her lips and


    smiled at the mirror.


    She had her brother''s blessing to marry Maddox.


    Being able to receive his blessings was the best thing to be happy about!


    Since Quill agreed to their marriage, Minerva had be apletely different person. Although


    he gave his blessing, he was still unwilling to hand over the ount book. He said that he would let


    them register after their wedding.


    She couldn''t be bothered about this. Anyway, he had already agreed. There was really no rush to


    register.


    Maddox, on the other hand, was so busy that he was nowhere to be found.


    Initially, he was nowhere to be found for a day or two. Now, he disappeared for a week.


    Minerva was a little annoyed, but when she remembered that he was in charge of the wedding, she


    held her anger back.


    The wedding was going to be abroad, so Maddox had to go to the site personally. He had to take a


    ne there. He would go on for hours without sleeping just to apany Minerva.


    She soon noticed his dark circles were getting more prominent, and she was starting to worry about


    him.


    "I''m afraid I won''t have a groom if you keep this up."


    After that, she touched the dark circles around Maddox''s eyes and his chin covered with stubble.


    "Look at you..."


    Upon hearing this, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. "What''s wrong? You''re already starting


    to dislike me before we even get married?"
