Chapter 354

"Uncle." Beanie kissed Quill on his handsome cheek.

Quill was stunned for a moment when he saw his face. Although he was used to seeing Beanie'sface, he would always see another person in it.

Quill was shocked and Beanie hugged him around his neck.

"Uncle, you've had a long journey. Aunt Vera has cooked a lot of delicious food to welcome you."

"Is that so?" Quill came to his senses and smiled.

"Uncle, are you going to leave tonight?"

"I'll leave tomorrow. Shall I sleep with you tonight? Huh?"

"Okay." Beanie nodded hard and said, "I miss you so much."

Minerva, who was watching from the side, thought helplessly. She was the biological mother here,yet her son was closer to Vera and his uncle, but not his own mother.

However, it was not surprising. Vera and Quill both treated Beanie very well. They treated him as ifhe was their biological child.

Quill doted on Beanie as much as he doted on her.

As for Vera, she stayed with Beanie every day and she was almost his second mother.

About ten minutes later, Vera finally opened the kitchen door and was ready to serve all the dishes.Seeing this, Minerva went to help. Quill didn't sit still either. After they put all the food on the table,they took their seats.

After Minerva sat down and took a bite of the food, she suddenly thought of something, then shestood up and took out a bottle of red wine.

Quill saw this and couldn't help but creased his brows. "Don't you still have work tomorrow? Is itappropriate to drink?"

"It doesn't matter, just a little bit."

After saying that, Minerva poured a few glasses of wine. When Vera took the glass, she blinked hereyes. Minerva smiled and said, "Just bear with this for now, I'll accompany you to drink somethingelse next time."

Vera's face immediately turned red. "Don't talk nonsense. I like to drink red wine too..."

When they were abroad, they would buy beer from time to time, and then they would drink at homeuntil they were completely drunk.

As time went on, they were used to drinking a lot of alcohol and eventually both of them hadincreased their drinking capacity.

Furthermore, after Minerva started working, she had more social interactions and her drinkingcapacity got even better.

It was not difficult for her to drink a few glasses of red wine.

However, Quill creased his brows again when he saw this scene. Seeing that she drank a glass ofred wine before eating and wanted to drink a second glass, he couldn't help but reach out to holdthe rim of her glass.

"Quill?" Minerva came back to her senses and looked at him in surprise. "What's wrong?"

"Are you drinking before eating? Can your stomach stand it?"

"No, my stomach... should be fine."

Quill kept a serious face and wasn't joking with her.

"No. Let's eat first. We can drink after that."

While Minerva was still in a dilemma, Vera, who was sitting next to her, said in a low voice, "Don't letthe cat out of the bag. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to drink."

Minerva finally recovered after hearing what Vera said. Her lips curled into a smile and said, "Got it.Let's eat first. Wine... can be ignored first."

It sounded like she meant it. Vera couldn't help rolling her eyes secretly.novelbin

In the end, Minerva was unable to control herself and drank two more glasses of wine. Quill wasunable to stop her no matter how hard he tried. The red wine was too strong, and her cheeks turnedred after she finished drinking. She sat there and stared blankly ahead.

Looking at this scene, Quill felt helpless and reached out to pull Beanie aside.

"Have you finished eating, Bruno?"

Beanie nodded his head, then looked up and said, "Uncle, don't worry about Mommy. She knowswhat she is doing." "Why are these words so familiar?" Quill suddenly narrowed her eyes. "Did yourMommy always do this when she was abroad?"

After listening to his words, Beanie instantly felt that he had said something wrong, so he quicklycorrected himself.

"No, Uncle. Mommy is just happy to meet you today, so she drank more than usual."

"Is that so?" Quill looked at the flushed face of Minerva, as well as Vera who was sitting next to herwith a silly smile. Vera was holding a glass of wine and wrapped her hand around Minerva's neck,wanting to make a toast to her.

Well, since it was because she was happy to see him, he would forgive her this time.

Thinking of this, Quill coughed softly. "After dinner, go upstairs to take a bath. After taking a bath, goto sleep first, understand?"

Beanie nodded obediently. "Uncle, don't worry. I won't cause any trouble for you. It's just that...Auntie Vera seems to have drunk too much. Do you need my help?"

"Well, I can do it alone."

"Then I'll go back to my room first."

Beanie jumped down from his chair and waved at Quill. He then walked up the stairs with his shortlegs.

Quill's vision had been focusing on him. After he left, he looked at the two women opposite him.

The two women were drunk from drinking the wine. It was indeed a headache for him.

Quill stood up. His legs appeared exceptionally long under the table. He rolled up the sleeves of hisshirt in an elegant manner and slowly tidied up the mess on the table.

After he packed up everything, he was about to take away the bottle of red wine as well. Verasuddenly shouted, "Don't move!"

Quill stopped what he was doing and looked towards the source of the voice.

Vera let go of Minerva's hand and stumbled towards him.

"What are you trying to do?" Vera walked over and snatched the bottle away from his hand. In adrunken voice, she said, "You're not allowed to drink our wine, or else... Minerva... will blame me!"

She couldn't stand steadily, and her body was wobbling in front of Quill.

Facing his sister's good friend and assistant, Quill was naturally a little more patient with hercompared to anyone else. He said, "The bottle is empty. I'll throw it away."

Hearing this, Vera said shyly, "Is it empty?"

Then she lifted and inverted it over her face; there was not a drop of wine. She smiled and nodded."It's true, the bottle is empty... Well, okay, I'll go back to sleep then."

After saying that, she walked forward with the bottle in her hand. She stepped on something andsuddenly fell backward without control.

When she was about to fall to the ground, Quill reached out and caught her. Vera exclaimed and fellinto his arms.

"Stand firm!" With a cold expression, Quill frowned and said in a low voice.

Just like that, the unfamiliar aura of the man broke into Vera's mind. Vera opened her eyes andcarefully identified the person in front of her.

After seeing clearly that the man in front of her was her prince charming whom she had alwaysdreamed of, Vera opened her eyes wide with horror, and then... she fainted instantly.

She was so drunk in front of him that she almost fell down and was saved by him.

How could she have done so? She would rather pretend that she didn't know anything!

It didn't happen at all!!

"Emm..." At this moment, the drunk Minerva whined and fell onto the sofa as if she wasn't feelingwell.

The drinking capacity of these two people were actually very ordinary. When there were nooutsiders at normal times, they would drink like mad on their own.

It was really a headache for Quill to run into both of them in that situation.
