Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 527
After Minerva handed over the information list to Vera to pass to Kelly, she felt that the burden was lifted from her shoulders.
The next day was Sunday, thus Minerva planned to bring Beanie to the playground.
After being back for so long, she was too busy to stay with Beanie for too long.
Originally, the both of them agreed to go together. Unexpectedly, Beanie, that sly little fox, had managed to include Vera and Quill in the plan.
Thinking of the things that had happened between Quill and Vera, Minerva naturally agreed to them joining in the plan.
Anyway, she really didn't like to see Quill stay single.
The next day, they set off.
At first, Vera was too embarrassed to go downstairs, but after being pestered by Beanie, she lowered her head and went with them. After getting in the car, she huddled up in the corner like an ostrich. Minerva couldn't help but laugh when she saw that Vera was trying to stay as unnoticeable as an invisible object.
Hence, she came to her side and whispered, "How long will it take for you to become Mrs. Hanover if you keep on being like this?"
Her voice was very low, perhaps low enough that only the both of them could hear it.
But after all, they were in the car. Vera felt that Quill could hear them. She quickly glared at Minerva and replied in a low voice, "Shut up!"
Her expression and eyes were fierce, as if she was going to kill someone.
However, her voice, which was deliberately lowered, didn't sound imposing at all.
Minerva couldn't help but laugh and continued, "You should at least be braver, right?"
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to you." Vera turned around and covered her ears. Obviously, she didn't want to talk to Minerva anymore.
Minerva stopped teasing her. She looked away and found herself a comfortable spot to sit.
When they arrived at the playground, Vera didn't dare to face Quill, so she quickly went to play with Beanie, leaving Quill and Minerva behind.
Quill pursed his lips tightly when he saw this scene. His gaze unconsciously followed the figure of the petite girl.
Minerva noticed the look in his eyes and curled her lips unconsciously. "Quill, what do you think of Vera?"
Upon hearing this, Quill frowned. He remembered how Vera had kissed him twice. That day, his finger was stained with her lipstick, but he forgot to wash it off and went to the company. Later, when he took the materials, Juliette saw the color on his finger and even teased him that his iron heart was finally melting.
At that time, Quill was a little confused. After all, he would usually clean up these things properly.
However, he seemed to be possessed by a devil that day and...
Quill did not like this feeling.
He pursed his thin lips and asked, "What? You want to be my matchmaker when your marriage has not been resolved?"
Minerva turned her head to look at him. "You're already so old while I'm so much younger than you. Besides, I already have a child. Do you?"
Quill was speechless.
He didn't seem to know how to respond to that.
Minerva's smile turned a little sly when she saw Quill didn't know what to say. "So, you're the one who should be working hard."
Quill's face became serious, "Have you settled your problem?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva's smile faded a little. She shook her head and answered, "Not yet."
She almost forgot that she was going to divorce Maddox. Should she get him to the Civil Affairs Bureau while he hated her?
"Probably because he was injured recently, the other side let down their guard, so I found a loophole."
"Loophole? What do you mean?" Minerva didn't understand.
Quill stared at her, pursed his lips and said, "You're not a married couple with him according to the law."
"What?" Minerva was stunned. "What does this mean? Didn't you say..."
"We found the breakthrough point. When you married into the Yardley family that year, the Shell family and Old Master Yardley decided that you would marry into the Shell family under the name Erica Shell, so... In the legal registration, false information was used."
Minerva was speechless.
Minerva felt as if her brain had been struck by a heavy blow. She felt a little faint and her vision went blurry.
So, all these years, she actually wasn't married to Maddox?
Was it true that one could do whatever they wanted when one had money? When she had married into the Yardley family on Erica's behalf, so many things had happened, but it turned out that everything was just for nothing.
Seeing her face turn pale, Quill reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
"Isn't it better now? You don't have anything to do with him. You are free now, so you should think about yourself and Beanie."
"Quill, what do you mean by that..."
"I've asked someone to replace you some nice guys. Why don't you meet them when the time comes?"
Minerva went silent.
Her pink lips parted yet she couldn't speak.
After a while, she laughed and said, "I wanted to set you up, but instead, you have already done it for me. Quill, have you thought about my plans?"
Quill's eyes were indifferent as he looked forward.
"If it wasn't for your way of thinking, do you think you would have these achievements in the past five years? You can't go on like this. Although I can accommodate you, it doesn't mean that I can always indulge you like this."
"Will I be happy only when I get married? Can't I live alone?"
"What about Beanie? Have you ever thought about him?"
Minerva bit her lower lip and could not reply.
She had to think about Beanie and she felt that she should get married soon. But... her thoughts were completely different from what Quill had done.
As soon as Quill knew the truth, he immediately found her a partner and this made her feel incompetent.
"There are a few that I have found for you. Since you don't have to go to work tomorrow, you can go on blind dates then. If you are not satisfied, you can end it as soon as possible. I will pick someone for you until you are satisfied."
Minerva didn't know what to say.
"What do you think?" Quill turned his head sideways to look at Minerva.
"What else can I do?" Minerva could only force a smile. "You've already made up your mind. What else can I say?"
"Minerva, I won't do anything to harm you. You'll understand in the future. You're still young and bringing up a child won't exhaust you now, but it'll be very hard for you in the future."
"Well, I have already promised. Shouldn't you also promise me to spare a thought for Vera?"
As the conversation turned back to its starting point, Quill frowned slightly and felt a slight pain in his temple. He touched it and gently coughed. "You don't need to worry about me."
"You're worrying about me yet why won't you let me worry about you? Didn't you hear what I said just now? Even if it's not Vera, won't someone else do? Or... Shall I replace you a few blind dates? Several designers in our company are all beautiful. I guess they will be happy to go on a blind date with the president of Hanover Corporation in North City. Or... Shall I go to the marriage website to send you a message?"
Quill felt a stinging pain between his eyebrows when hearing Minerva's words. He looked at her helplessly and smiled dotingly. "Why are you still so childish even after you've become a mother?"
