Chapter 707
The sight of blood...
Was it ominous?
In the past, Minerva had heard this saying on television. At that time, she felt that there was nobasis for this and that it was nonsense. How could it be ominous to see blood?
However, now that she saw the bloodstain, Minerva realized that she was starting to worryfrantically.
She was feeling uneasy all this while. Earlier that day, everything seemed to be in place. However,after the cup broke, the stylist's words shook her heart.
It was as if someone had punctured her chest.
This feeling...
When Vera walked to Minerva's side, she wanted to take a look at the wound on her leg. However,she suddenly picked up her cell phone and gave Maddox a call as if she had gone mad. Her eyelidskept twitching, and her heart was pounding rapidly. She was afraid that something would happen tohim.
"Don't worry." Seeing this, Vera comforted her and said, "The assistant was spouting nonsense.Don't take it to heart."novelbin
The assistant also realized that she had said something wrong just now. Even if it was reallyominous, she couldn't say it out loud.
She quickly walked up to Minerva and bowed her head in apology. "I'm sorry, Miss Hanover. What Isaid just now was completely unintentional. Please don't take it to heart. I really didn't do it on
purpose."
The stylist also echoed, "Yes, Miss Hanover, these unlucky words are what old people would say.Today is a fine day, and the wedding is about to start. You can sit down and continue with yourmakeup."
"That's right, Minerva, it's nothing much. Don't worry anymore...." Vera was also persuaded from theside.
Minerva was still uneasy when she heard the livid voice of the voicemail, but seeing how everyonewas worried seeing her in this state, she felt that she was overthinking things.
Maddox was on the plane at this moment, and the flight hadn't arrived yet, so it was normal that hecouldn't pick up her phone.
She glanced at the tiny wound on her feet and thought about what the assistant had said. She feltthat probably because she was pregnant, she was more sensitive and would overthink things. Thus,she was so worried over a cup toppling over.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, and then said, "I'm fine. I need to use thebathroom."
After coming back from the bathroom, Minerva regained her composure. Seeing that everyone wasstaring at her anxiously, she smiled and said, "I'm fine. Go on with the makeup."
Vera walked to her side and looked at her nervously.
"Minerva, are you really okay?"
"Well, isn't the wedding going to be held soon? Let's continue."
After that, the stylist did her makeup very carefully. Probably because of what happened earlier, itmade the entire room very tense. The assistant didn't even dare to breathe because she had saidthe wrong thing, and everyone else didn't dare to start a conversation.
Minerva also fell silent, and she didn't fall asleep again.
After everything was in order, it was about time. Friends and relatives began to show up at thevenue.
The journey from Minerva's current location to the wedding venue would take half an hour. Theyhad arranged photography sessions on the way, so the wedding was going to commence one and ahalf-hours later. Before that, the groom would be with his groomsmen to welcome the bride downthe aisle.
Parents from both sides would also show up.
Both Maddox's parents had passed away, and Minerva only had an elder brother left, so theysimplified the ceremony and directly let the groom walk the bride down the aisle.
After checking Maddox's flight itinerary, Quill pursed his thin lips and said, "The airport is not faraway. He should head directly here once he lands."
Minerva had already completed her makeup. She sat on the wedding bed and waited patiently witha bouquet of flowers in her hands.
After putting on the bridesmaid's clothes and makeup, Vera accompanied her by her side. Whenshe saw Quill, she did not dare to face him directly. After all, she had terrible dark circles.
Vera was feeling miserable.
Initially, she wanted to show her best side to the man she liked, but it turned out that... she actuallycouldn't sleep and ended up having two big, dark circles around her eyes.
Although the makeup artist had concealed her dark circles, perhaps because of her poor sleep,Vera's skin was not radiant at this moment. Anyway, she was very dissatisfied with herself that day.
Therefore, she could only stay by Minerva's side and listen to what Quill was saying with her headdown.
"Yes." Minerva nodded her head and let out a hum, indicating that she understood.
Quill stared at her for a long moment, seeing how indifferent she was and how she was not exciteddespite being the bride. His gaze swept to Vera.
His gaze was low and steady. When it swept across her, she could feel it immediately. Therefore,she secretly glanced at him and found that he was staring straight at her.
She was so nervous that she lowered her head again, and her heart thumped violently.
"What should I do?" Vera thought.
Was Quill staring at her? Why was he looking at her? Did he notice her dark circles?
With this thought in mind, she was puzzled about why he was staring at her. Finally, she could onlyraise her head again to look at him.
It had been a long time before Vera had raised her head and looked at him. Seeing this, Quillimmediately gave her a look and waved his hand at her, indicating her to come over.
Vera was taken aback for a moment, looking at him with wide eyes. Then, she raised her indexfinger and pointed to herself doubtfully.
He nodded, then turned around and walked out.
"Minerva, I'm going out for a moment," she bent down and whispered. When she saw Minerva nodher head, she felt reassured and headed outside.
After following Quill outside, Vera found that her heart was beating faster. She nervously bit herlower lip and stared at him in front of her, who was tall and masculine.
"You... You asked me to come out. What's the matter?"
He had made it clear before that he didn't want her to call him Mr. Hanover anymore. He always feltthat it was strange for her to call him that.
Quill turned her head and looked at Vera with a complicated expression. Noticing her dark circles,he pressed his thin lips together and asked, "What's wrong with Minerva?"
She was speechless.
The light in her eyes faded a little, but she still answered his question seriously.
"Maybe it's because she's worried about Mr. Yard ley."
It was indeed annoying that Maddox hadn't shown up yet. Quill pursed his thin lips. "I know. You'reher bridesmaid today, aren't you? Please calm her down. I'll deal with Maddox."
She nodded in a daze. "Okay."
After that, she raised her head and looked at him. "Is that everything you wanted to talk to meabout?"
He frowned slightly. "What's the matter?"
She was stupefied.
Vera thought that Quill would at least ask something about herself. She did not expect... that hewould call her over just for Minerva.
"No, it's fine, then I'll go back in first." After Vera finished speaking, she wanted to turn around, butQuill's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"What's going on with your dark circles?"
