Chapter 708


    Hearing this, Vera was so excited that she almost flew up.


    "Quill... Is he caring about me? If he didn''t care about me, why would he notice the dark circles


    around my eyes?" She thought to herself.


    When she was excited, Vera had forgotten that her dark circles were so terrible that they could be


    noticed at a nce. The only thing on her mind was that Quill cared about her.


    Thinking of this, she quickly turned around. "I''m fine. It''s just that I didn''t sleep wellst night..."


    After that, she suddenly realized that even Quill asked her this question. Didn''t this mean that her


    dark circles were very serious?


    After realizing it, she covered her eyes with her hands and asked in a low voice, "My dark eye


    circles... Did I look really ugly?"


    He was speechless.


    Looking at the upset girl in front of her, he was at a loss for words for a moment and didn''t know


    what to say. Seeing that he didn''t answer, she became gloomy again.


    "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have asked this. Then I... I''ll go back first."


    After that, she didn''t wait for Quill to answer and ran away immediately.


    After running some distance, she was still buzzed. She clutched her hot cheeks and felt very happy.


    Quill had given her a drumstick previously, and now he asked her about her dark circles.


    It meant that her efforts had not been in vain. He could still notice her.


    As long as he could notice her, she would keep working hard. When she worked harder to get his


    attention, it would be easier for her to get close to him.


    The more she thought about it, the more hopeful she felt.


    She yed with her fingers and felt very happy in her heart.


    However, when she saw Minerva''s listless appearance, Vera instantly felt guilty. She was still upset,


    so she couldn''t be happy alone. Hence, she ran over to apany her.


    As time passed by, theughter of friends and rtives seemed to fade away gradually and


    disappeared. Minerva sat there as if she was going to go numb. She did not move at all.


    After some time, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Quill, who was not far away from her.

    "Quill."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Did you receive any news regarding Maddox''s flight? Has he arrived at the airport?"


    Upon hearing this, he took out her mobile phone and checked it. Then, he pursed his thin lips and


    said, "It shows that the flightnded half an hour ago."


    "Half an hour ago?"


    Minerva asked in a low voice.


    Quill thought for a while. Then, he turned to Juliette beside him and said, "Please personally bring


    someone to check the flight status and see if you could contact him."


    When Juliette heard these words, she felt that something wasn''t right. She didn''t dare to ask about


    it and could only quickly nod her head.


    "Yes, Mr. Hanover, I''ll go right now."


    She quickly left. After she left, Minerva, who had been sitting there, couldn''t restrain herself


    anymore. She got up directly from the wedding bed, and Vera quickly went up to help her.


    "Minerva...1 After she got out of bed, she dialed Maddox''s cell phone number over and over again.


    However, she was sent straight to voicemail over and over again.


    "Hello, the number you have dialed is unavable."


    After hearing the voicemail several times, she simply picked up the hem of her wedding dress and


    headed out. The faces of the crowd changed slightly. Quill and Vera stepped forward to stop her.


    "Where are you going at this time?"


    "I''ll wait for him at the airport."


    "What''s wrong with you? It''s no use going to the airport at this time. What if he has already gotten


    off the ne and is on his way here? If you go to the airport now, you might miss him."


    "But... If he got off the ne, why hasn''t he turned on his phone yet? Perhaps the flight itinerary is


    wrong, or he boarded another ne. I''ll go to the airport myself and check it out."


    "It''s no use for you to go now. I''ve already sent Juliette there." Quill stopped her and said softly, "I


    know you''re worried, but think about it. Maddox has done so many things. Even if he arrived a little


    later, it would most probably be due to the flight being dyed. What are you afraid of?"


    Minerva couldn''t help but tremble when she heard thest question.


    That''s right. What was she afraid of?


    Was she afraid? Minerva lowered her eyes and retreated as if someone had seen right through her


    thoughts, biting her lower lip tightly.


    She didn''t know what she was afraid of...


    She only felt that the words Sylvia had said to herst time had clearly surfaced in her mind at this


    moment, as if they were echoing in his ears.


    "Minerva, it''s all thanks to you that I''m currently suffering. What right do you have to live a carefree


    life? Let me tell you something. Do you think Maddox really wants to marry you? No! He only feels


    guilty and wants to make it up to you! If he really loves you enough, you two wouldn''t have been


    separated from each other five years ago. Even if you marry him and be his wife, you won''t be


    happy for the rest of your life! I''ll curse all of you. I curse all of you that you''ll never be able to be


    together again. Even if you''re together, you won''t be happy again!"


    Like a demon''s voice, it continued to resonate in her ears.


    She and Maddox rarely saw each other before their wedding. Furthermore, she had been feeling


    uneasy all this while. What''s worse, the wedding was about to begin, and he was nowhere to be


    found.


    "Could it be... like what Sylvia said?"


    Maddox... He did not really want to marry her. He was merely trying to make up for the mistakes he


    had made five years ago.


    The day before the wedding, he felt that he didn''t want to get married... Thus, he chose not to


    appear?


    "Minerva?" Quill saw that something was wrong with her expression and went up to hold her


    shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Anyway, it''s not time yet. You don''t have to be nervous. Let''s wait.


    Maybe he wants to give you a surprise."


    After all, the man had done so many things for the wedding, and Quill, as her elder brother, had


    seen it with his own eyes. Nothing unexpected should happen.


    However... Quill became more and more suspicious.


    Before the wedding, Maddox gave him the contract. At that time, it seemed that he was very


    determined, but now? Would he refuse to let the wedding happen because the contract woulde


    into effect after he married


    Minerva?


    That was also possible!


    However, Quill believed him. After all, this man was chosen by his younger sister. She believed that


    Minerva''s judgment wouldn''t be so bad as to be deceived by the same man twice in a row.


    Minerva''s mental state was not inplete chaos. Soon, she remembered what she had said to


    Quill before.


    The reason for being separated from Maddox five years ago was that they didn''t trust each other.


    If she doubted Maddox at this moment merely because of Sylvia''s words, wouldn''t she be falling


    right into her trap?


    So, no, she couldn''t fall into her trap. She had to believe in Maddox and wait for him toe back


    here. If she couldn''t wait here, then she would go to the hall to wait.


    She believed that he would definitely appear!
