Female Novel
Chapter 353
That night, Quill drove all the way from North City to San Novia to look for Minerva, just as Juliettesaid.
When he arrived, it was already at night. Because he had told Minerva in advance on the phone,Vera went to the nearby supermarket to buy some food so that they could have supper together.
Vera's culinary skills weren't bad to begin with. In addition, she had been with Minerva for the pastfew years. In order to fill up her stomach that couldn't bear takeaways, she developed good cookingskills.
Minerva and Beanie depended on her cooking a lot.
Hearing that she was going to cook, Beanie swallowed his saliva, "Auntie Vera, are we going tohave hotpot later?"
Hearing this, Vera lowered her head and looked at him strangely. "It's not winter now. Why hotpot?Aren't you afraid that you'll be feeling hot?"
Beanie was unhappy when he heard that reply. He pouted his lips and said, "We can also have ahotpot in summer. Don't you think it's very satisfying?"
Those words...
Vera narrowed her eyes and looked at Beanie. Suddenly, she stretched out her index finger andpoked him on the forehead.
"Satisfying? Since when did you learn such a term? You are a little foodie. I know that you just wantto "Oh." Beanie covered his forehead with his hand, and his fair and tender little face was full ofanger. "Auntie Vera, can you make us hotpot or not?"
"No." Vera turned around instantly and turned on the faucet to wash the vegetables. "Your uncle hasbeen working all year round. It takes him more than two hours to drive from North City to San Novia,don't you know that? He's already tired enough engaging in social activities outside. And now youask him over for hot pot? Can't you let him eat something good in the middle of the night?"
Hearing what she said, Beanie blinked his eyes as if he had read the underlying meaning of herwords.
Beanie suddenly said something unexpected, "Why do you care so much about my uncle? Do youlike him?"
"What did you say?" Vera suddenly jumped in surprise. She looked around with her eyes wideopen. When she noticed no one else was around, she quickly reached out and covered Beanie'smouth. "You, you can't talk nonsense, okay?"
Beanie's mouth was covered by her, and he couldn't say anything, so he just stared at her.
His look made Vera feel guilty and she quickly loosened her grip. "Don't talk nonsense, okay?Otherwise, I won't get you anything to eat next time."
Hearing this, Beanie seemed to have figured out something. He tilted his head and said, "AuntieVera, will you make hotpot for me?"
Vera stood up weakly. She opened the food in the bag and said, "Well, I'll do it for you, okay? Iprobably owe you something in my last life."
In the room upstairs, Minerva had already taken a shower and changed into a simple T-shirt and apair of shorts. She stood by the window and made a phone call.
"Mr. Lowell, I've already asked my assistant to record your request. The period that we agreed on isone month. Tomorrow, I'll ask my assistant to check Miss Arnold's figure and measurements. After
that, I'll design what you want within the agreed period."
Speaking of this, Minerva paused. Looking at the stars in the sky, she couldn't help to remind him,"However, now it's eight o'clock in the evening. It's not within my working hours already."
The other party heard her and immediately apologized embarrassedly. "I'm sorry. I was urged bysomeone else so I became impatient. Then, I won't disturb your rest now."
Minerva hung up the call and placed the phone on the table. Then, she walked barefoot to thebathroom to apply some skin care products and dried her hair.
When she finished all this, she saw her mobile phone vibrating.
Minerva walked over and picked up her phone. It was Quill who was calling.
"Could it be that he has arrived?"
Upon thinking of this, Minerva did not answer the phone. Instead, she wore shoes and wentdownstairs to open the door.novelbin
When she opened the door, she saw a tired Quill standing at the door. Their gazes met in midair.Minerva looked behind him and asked, "Are you the only one here?"
He hadn't seen her for a long time. Quill really missed her and he couldn't help reaching out to rubher head.
Minerva was stunned for a moment. She tried to hold herself and did not stop him. After he messedup her hair, she said, "Quill, I'm no longer a child. It's not... appropriate for you to rub my hair likethis."
"In my eyes, you will always be a child," Quill replied.
Hearing this, Minerva almost went crazy. She bit her lower lip and let him in. "Quill, can we have atalk? You can rub my head when we're at home, but can you not do this when we're out?"
She still remembered that incident when he was going to fly back and she was at the airportsending him off.
When Quill was about to leave, he rubbed her head in public.
She was still holding Beanie and was wearing a pair of high heels. She never expected that Quillwould rub her head.
At first, Minerva was not used to him doing this. However as time went on, when she saw the joy inhis eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse him. She didn't expect that he would become used to it.
Now... Minerva even had a feeling that he was treating her as his daughter.
Daughter, what on earth....
Minerva didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"If you really like to rub someone's head, go to your nephew more often."
Upon mentioning his nephew, Quill walked in and closed the door behind him. He then took off hisshoes at the entrance and saw a few pairs of women's slippers on the shoe rack. He couldn't helpfrowning and said, "Why didn't you prepare any for me?"
Minerva pouted her lips and said, "I didn't know you'd come so early. I didn't even have time to go tothe supermarket today."
After that, she bent down and took out the largest pair of women's slippers. "Put them on."
Quill stared at the women's slippers for a while. Finally, he decided to walk barefoot.
"Quill, why are you disgusted? There's no one else at home. You don't have to feel embarrassed."
"I like my feet free."
Quill said in a deep voice.
The two of them walked into the living room together. Vera suddenly came out of the kitchen. Whenshe saw Quill coming, a faint blush immediately appeared on her fair face. "Mr. Hanover, you'rehere!"
"Hi." Quill nodded his head and acknowledged her presence.
When their eyes met, Vera's face turned redder. She bit her lip and said, "I'm still cooking. Pleasehave a seat. It'll be ready soon."
After that, she turned around and quickly went into the kitchen.
"Uncle!"
At the same time, a small figure came out of the kitchen and rushed to Quill.
Seeing the little figure, Quill's dark eyes were filled with a touch of warmth. He squatted down andheld him in his arms.
"Bruno."
Bruno was the name that Quill had given him back then.
His nickname was Beanie, and Vera was the one who had given him the nickname.
