Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 355
In the end, Quill could only drag Vera back to her room. After settling her down, he went downstairs to look for Minerva. Perhaps she was too tired, but she didn't make any noise after getting drunk. She just laid on the sofa and slept well.
However, just as Quill was about to approach her, she suddenly turned over. She was about to fall from the sofa to the cold hard floor. Quill sped up and rushed forward to hold her, before putting her back to her original position.
After all the ups and downs, Quill's forehead was sweaty.
The seemingly calm man seemed to be in a mess at this time.
Quill stared at Minerva, who was still in her sleep, and shook his head helplessly. "You're really making trouble for me. Am I a guest, or are you the guests?"
"Forget it. After all, she's my younger sister," thought Quill.
Quill was also an extremely loving brother. In the end, he got up and carried Minerva back to her room.
After tidying up, Quill went back to the room to wash up. When he entered the room, he found that Beanie was lying on the bed with a pillow in his arms, staring at him with sparkling eyes. "Thank you, Uncle." Quill who was unbuttoning his shirt somehow felt like he was being played with. "Hurry up and go to sleep."
As soon as he finished his words, Beanie immediately turned over and tucked himself in. "Good night, Uncle. See you tomorrow."
The side effect of being drunk was that her head was heavy and her legs were light. By the time Minerva woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning. She turned her body around and felt that her head was extremely heavy. She looked at the brightness in the room from the sunshine and then endured the uncomfortable feeling as she climbed back up.
"What time is it now?"
Minerva reached out for her phone and glanced at it. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, so she got out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash up. When she got dressed and went downstairs, she saw Quill sitting on the sofa with a laptop in his hands; it seemed like he was having a video conference. Minerva didn't even greet him. She went straight to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water to drink.
When she came out, Quill had already cut off the video feed. "Are you awake?"
"Quill, don't you need to go to work? Why don't you go to the company?"
"I want to go, but how can I leave you two alone? You drank so much."
Hearing what he said, Minerva couldn't help but stick out her tongue. She actually did not intend to drink that much yesterday, but once she started drinking, she actually... forgot about it.
She really didn't remember what happened last night after she got drunk. At that time... she could only look at Quill and ask, "Quill, did I say anything wrong last night?"
"What do you think?" Quill asked in return.
Minerva smiled awkwardly and said, "How would I know? If I knew, I wouldn't even bother asking you."
"You two used to be like this when you were abroad?"
Minerva was stunned for two seconds before she reacted and shook her head. "Absolutely not. It's just an occasional..."
"Occasionally?" Quill raised his eyebrows, and there was a sense of danger in his eyes.
"Not often at all..." Minerva quickly changed her words, but when she saw the serious look on Quill's face, she realized that things were not going well. She could only step forward and say, "We just had a smal drink occasionally when we did well at work. It's definitely not what you think and it's not like what it was last night either."
It was more serious than he thought. They actually didn't drink too much last night.
Well, so it couldn't be considered the same. Quill realized that he was so angry that he had lost his temper. He reached out and pinched his temple, which was hurting slightly. "Anyway, you have to take good care of yourself all the time. I won't restrict you from doing what you want, but if you go wild and ignore your own health, then don't blame me for replaceing someone to look after you."
His last sentence caused Minerva's expression to change slightly. "Find someone to look after me? What do you mean?"
Quill stopped talking and stared at her with pursed lips.
Minerva's eyelashes fluttered and she twitched her lips in embarrassment, "Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking?"
"Almost." Quill picked up the suit jacket that was placed on the shelf and put it on. While he buttoned it, he said sternly, "You are not young anymore. As a mother, if you can't take good care of yourself all the time, as your brother... I will definitely replace someone to take care of you."
"You only know how to reprimand me. Why don't you look at yourself? I am your sister and you don't have anyone to take care of you either."
She managed to counter him, but his expression did not change and his voice became colder.
"I'm glad that you still know that I am your brother."
At that, Minerva stopped talking.
He was her elder brother, so it was reasonable for him to scold her. As the younger sister, it was better if she remained silent in such a moment. "I still have to return to North City. When... will you return to the Hanover family?"
"Can I..."
"No, you can't."
"Well, I know. I have work to do over there in a few days. I will go there by then."
"Alright."
Quill didn't leave until he got the answer he was satisfied with.
After he left, Minerva stood by the window and grabbed her hair. She thought, "Actually, Quill is indeed a good brother. It's just that he's being very strict most of the time and looks after her like a father." She could give in to other things, but... she really couldn't give in when it came to relationships.
Although he had not asked her to go on blind dates in the last five years, he had also considered her mental state as well as Beanie's feelings.
But... his words just now showed that... this idea had crossed his mind.
It was only a matter of time before she was asked to go on a blind date.
She had to think of ways to make Quill forget about this matter.
When she was thinking, she heard footsteps coming from behind. Vera rushed downstairs and looked at her nervously.
"Is your brother gone?" Minerva turned her head and said, "He's gone. What's wrong?"
Vera covered her chest, with a look of grief: "It's really embarrassing. I was drunk last night. I got up this morning and found that I couldn't remember what happened last night at all!"
"Ah?" Minerva walked forward as if she didn't care much about it. She said nonchalantly, "What's the matter? I was also drunk."
"Can I be like you?" Vera quickly caught up with her and said sadly, "You are his sister, and I am only your assistant!"
"So what?" Minerva turned around, resting her back on the table with her arms crossed in front of her chest as she looked at her leisurely.
Vera covered her cheeks and said bitterly, "How can a ruthless woman like you understand my feelings?
I am not his sister, just an ordinary woman. I was drunk in front of him so my image must be ruined. In your brother's heart, I must have become a particularly low-class woman!"
"So? Aren't you indifferent to it? Don't tell me..." Minerva lifted her eyebrows as she looked at her with a teasing expression.
Vera's expression changed. Only then did she realize that she had exposed something. She snapped back to reality and glared at her.
"Do you like my brother?" Minerva leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Vera took a few steps back. "There's no such thing!"
