Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 688

He said calmly with a poker face. It seemed that this matter was not worth mentioning. It was just agentleman's action.

The sparks in Vera's eyes were subsided by his actions and words in the next second.

Alas, she thought that... Quill had picked up a drumstick for her as a gesture of affection.

She didn't expect that it was just a gentleman's act.

She felt a little sullen as she was overthinking things.

However, the fact that he was willing to give her a drumstick meant that she was not an uninvitedguest. All the negative thoughts in her mind suddenly disappeared.

Vera held the drumstick and was so moved that tears almost welled up. "Oh, Quill isn't soindifferent. At least... He is a gentleman."

As long as she continued to work harder, she could get closer and closer to him.

"Why are you staring at me? Eat up!"

Quill saw that Minerva and Beanie were still looking at him, and only Vera was eating the drumstickjoyously. He flicked their heads with his spoon and scolded them in a low voice.

Minerva came to her senses and lowered her head to dig in.

After taking a small bite, a faint smile appeared on her face as she saw Vera, who looked blissful.

Was there... something that was secretly changing?

It seemed that Quill was the only one who would know.

Because of this small interruption, the atmosphere of the meal was somewhat subtle. However,everyone had different thoughts in their minds.

Everyone was eating in silence.

Just as Quill was about to say something to Minerva, his phone started to ring. He lowered his headto look at the caller ID before turning to look at her.

She looked at him in confusion.

Quill was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Minerva, wait for me in the study."

Then, he got up to answer the phone and went out.

After he left, Vera, who had been shrinking her head, regained her spirits. She looked up andglanced at Minerva.

"Minerva, did you see that? Quill gave me a drumstick just now."

Minerva looked at her with a strange expression.

"Is that why you kept sucking on the drumstick?"

Vera was speechless.

Since Quill gave her a drumstick, she was moved. She stopped eating other dishes and onlyfocused on the drumstick.

Minerva pursed her lips and patted Vera's shoulder without hesitation.

"The dishes today are really delicious. Are you sure you don't want to stay and eat anymore?"

"Humph, I don't want to!"

"Listen to me. Quill gave me a drumstick. I'm really touched. Don't you think he is a little bitinterested in me?"

"I think he might?" Minerva tilted her head slightly. She wouldn't mind lying if it would fill Vera withhope again.

Hearing this, Vera clenched her fists immediately.

"Okay! I will work harder! Suddenly, I feel that my efforts before were not in vain."

Minerva was not interested in toying with her and left Beanie and Vera where they were. Then, shestood up to help clean up the plates and cutleries. After washing her hands, she went to Quill'sstudy.

The study was quiet and clean. Everything was neatly arranged on the bookshelves.

Quill was indeed a rigorous and serious person.

It didn't seem bad for him and Vera to be together.

However, Minerva knew that love was not something that could be forced. Even if Quill did not endup with Vera in the end, she would not think that there was anything wrong with it.

She waited for a while, but Quill didn't return yet. She muttered about how he was still so occupiedon a Sunday and then sat down in front of his computer and used it to surf the Internet.

It was really boring while waiting for him. She played a casual online game, but it bored her. Shewaited until she was about to fall asleep, and then she heard some clamoring from the other end ofthe door.

Minerva was lying there, her eyelids twitching. Only when she heard the voice did she raise herhead and look over.

When Quill came in, he was holding a phone in his hand. Seeing her lying lazily, he shut the door ofthe study with his hand and walked towards her.

"Are you sleepy?"

Hearing this, she sat up and rubbed her eyes with her hands. Tve been waiting for you for a longtime. Are you so busy every weekend? There was a video conference in the morning. Do you stillneed to have another conference at noon?"

She sounded teasing. Quill could not help but laugh. He looked at Minerva and curled his lips into asmile as he spoke.

"The conference has been called off in advance."

She was a little surprised, "My guess was right? Quill, how busy are you?"

"Didn't you say that you are also very busy every weekend when you were arguing with me earlier?"

She was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect him to throw it back to her. She stood up and said,"You called me here. What's the matter?" "Can't I call you when I'm free? There are only two of usleft in the Hanover family, and you should come back here more often when you're free."

There were only two siblings left in the entire Hanover family. This sentence touched her. Shepaused for a moment and then remembered what the servants had said to her.

Seeing how relaxed Quill was, it seemed that he still was unaware of her and Maddox's matters.novelbin

So... Since she had already made up her mind to confess, there was no need to hesitate.

Thinking of this, Minerva stared directly at Quill and said.

"Quill, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" He was really busy recently. He was so occupied that he didn't really pay attention to herrecently. What's more, they almost quarreled last time, so he had always felt sorry for Minerva.

It took him much effort to finally find her. How could he be fierce to her?

Thinking of this, he nodded. "Go ahead."

Looking at how calm he was, she took a deep breath. She seemed to be thinking about how sheshould tell this to him. After giving it some thought, Minerva decided that she should go straight tothe point.

In any case, he would find out sooner or later. Rather than beating around the bush, she might aswell speak the truth.

Minerva said enthusiastically.

"I'm here to take back my account book."

"The account book?"

Quill's eyes were blank. He didn't seem to realize what Minerva wanted to do with the account book.He thought that since she was his sister, he should listen to her.

He was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head.

"Sure, take it."

Minerva was stupefied.

"That's it?"

Why did Quill allow her to take it? He looked calm. Unless he couldn't figure out what she was goingto use the account book for?

Minerva bit her lower lip and asked carefully, "Aren't you going to ask me why do I need my accountbook?"

Quill looked at her. "Why?"

"To register..."
