Female Novel
Chapter 422
After driving for a while, the car finally stopped in front of a school.
This was a prestigious nursery school in North City.
It could be considered as a private kindergarten. Not only did it have excellent quality of teaching,but its environment and meals provided were superb as well. Most of the wealthy families in NorthCity would enroll their children in this school.
The reason why Minerva took a liking to this kindergarten was that it was located in proximity to hercompany. Besides, she had come to check it out the other day. She liked the environment there.The teachers were all soft and gentle.
As she had made an appointment in advance, there were people escorting them although it was aweekend.
Beanie was seen holding Minerva's hand on his left and Vera's on his right.
Meanwhile, Quill walked beside Minerva.
The teachers were stunned at the sight of them.
"Is this a family? They're all so pretty and handsome!" They pondered.
"Beanie, say hello to all the teachers."
"Hello, teacher." Beanie was being obedient in the presence of Minerva. The teacher felt that hewas very polite and adorable. They squatted down and gazed at Beanie tenderly. "Hello, little one,what's your name?"
Beanie replied obediently, "Beautiful teacher, nice to meet you. My name is Bruno Hanover."
A member of the Hanover family?
They cast him an envious stare and waved to him. "How about I take you around to familiarize withthe environment here? There are children living in the school. Do you want to play with them?"
Beanie remained silent. He didn't really like to mingle with strangers.
Minerva paused for a moment and said softly, "Beanie, go ahead."
Beanie caught a glimpse of Minerva, then nodded and left with the teacher.
When Vera saw Beanie leaving with the teacher, she said at once, "I'm worried about him. I'll gowith him."
Subsequently, she caught up with Beanie in no time. Minerva couldn't resist laughing when she sawVera in a hurry. She wasn't worried about Beanie at all. It was evident that she was avoiding Quill.
As she thought of this, Minerva asked, "Quill, what do you think... about Vera?"
Quill did not get her implied message. He thought that she was solely asking about Vera'scharacter. Thus, he nodded and said, "She's pretty good.”
She's pretty good?
Quill rarely praised others. When she heard about his compliment, she instantly felt that there mightbe a chance for them to get together. Therefore, she inched closer, whispering, "Is she pretty good?
Then... would you consider such a girl?"
Quill paused for a second, coming to a realization at once. He then narrowed his eyes and looked atMinerva beside him.
She had suffered too much especially during the times in the Shell family. After that, she was forcedto marry into the Yardley family. In short, she went through ups and downs previously. Hence, Quillblamed himself for this and tried hard to make it up to her.
He had no time for himself. Firstly, he placed his focus on Minerva and Beanie. Secondly, he reallywasn't concerned about love as he didn't have a crush on anyone.
Therefore, Quill thought to remain single for a lifetime.
However, Minerva was up to something obviously.
"What's the matter? What's your motive?" Quill could not help giving a slight knock on Minerva'shead when he saw her expectant look.
"Ouch." Minerva covered her head in agony. Minerva acted like a child in front of him. "Can't I beconcerned about your marriage? Everyone said that you're not married because you have to takecare of me. If you remain single for the rest of your life, I will feel bad about it."
"What's the big deal?" Quill looked at her and smiled dotingly. "I'm just watching over my sister. Sowhat? Why don't you just ignore them?"
"Even if I don't listen to them, I will blame myself as well. Really... even if it's someone else, I hopeyou will meet the right one in life."
As she spoke, Quill thought of something at once. He frowned a little. "Speaking of this, I recallthere's a person whom I wanted to introduce to you, he..."
Upon hearing his words, Minerva's face darkened.
"Quill, let's walk around the school first. I'll bring you around."
The teacher who stood at the side nodded with a smile. "That's right. The two of you should take alook.
Quill looked at her helplessly.
Since that incident five years ago, Minerva kept a distance from men. She did not even fall for themen who went after her when she was abroad, not to mention blind dates.
If she remained single, he would not mind taking care of her for a lifetime.
It was just that... she had Beanie.
"Minerva!"
All of the sudden, Vera ran to her with her mobile phone in her hand. When she was not far awayfrom her, she suddenly stopped and signaled Minerva to go to her.
Minerva paused before walking over to Vera.
Vera sneakily pulled Minerva to the side and then handed the phone to her.novelbin
"Your call."
"My call?" Minerva was dumbfounded. Why did the caller contact Vera's number instead? Minervawas puzzled as she took the phone. When she saw the name of Maddox appearing on the screen,her expression changed.
"What's going on..."
"I have no idea. I saved his number when we signed the contract previously. Hurry up and answerit."
Yes, her cell phone was not with her. It was taken by Sam the day before. If Maddox wanted to talkto Minerva, he could only call Vera's number.
Minerva couldn't help glancing at Quill at a distance. She said in an undertone, "Bring Quill over toBeanie first. Lend me your phone."
Vera nodded. "Well, I'll talk to him."
It was only then that Minerva walked to the side and answered the call.
She walked further guiltily before picking up the call. After the call went through, a lazy voicesounded from the other end of the phone.
"Why did you take so long to answer my call?"
Sure enough, it was Maddox.
Minerva held back her anger and said in a cold voice.
"Mr. Yardley, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Where are you now? I'll ask someone to pick you up."
Minerva was tongue-tied.
She was stunned in a moment. She asked, "What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten about it?"
Minerva furrowed her brows.
"Do you remember what I said in the office yesterday?"
Upon hearing his words, Minerva thought about it carefully. The day before she said that she wouldfind a staff to take the measurements for him. Ultimately, he requested for her to come in personand would contact her when he had time...
"I know, but Mr. Yardley, it's nine o'clock in the morning. Are you sure you didn't call the wrongperson?"
"What's wrong?" Maddox seemed to be drinking water as a plopping sound could be heard at theother side of the phone. Then, his voice became slightly hoarse. "Haven't you gotten up yet?"
Minerva suppressed her rage and said in a formal tone, "Today is the weekend. If it's convenient..."
