Chapter 1474
Chapter 1474
Quill did not feel that Yulia was innocent at all.
However, he decided to let it go as Vera didn't want to pursue the matter anymore.
"Then we'll find someone to return the things to Yulia tomorrow. It's not like we're poor."
Hearing this, Vera blushed and quickly explained, "I'm not giving it back to her just because you have money, but because I think this may have nothing to do with her. Besides, if she gives all the profits to you, she will be working for you for the rest of her life, won't she? In that case, you will feel bad for the Maxwells. I'm really thinking on your behalf here."
Quill smirked and stroked Vera's hair. "I know. Anyway, what's mine is yours, so just do as you see fit. I'll do as you say."
Vera blinked in confusion. She never expected Quill to become a totally different person after they got married. Perhaps it was because of her brush with death, Quill spent a lot of time with her every day. He even bought tons of pregnancy books to read. Vera was only a few months pregnant, but he acted as if the baby was about to be born.
Now, Vera finally understood why Maddox doted on Minerva before. Were all men like this? Did they change after marriage and pregnancy? For Vera, she no longer felt like she was pursuing Quill. Instead, it was he who cared for her.
It was an amazing feeling to be Quill's number one priority.
Of course, she got even more used to ordering Quill around.
For example, Vera had never asked him to do anything before. Now, whenever she got tired of lying on the sofa, she would coyly ask Quill to carry her to her room.
And Quill would actually carry her back to her room.
Furthermore, Vera was often very sleepy and found it hard to get out of bed, so Quill would ready her toothpaste and face wash before carrying her to the bathroom.
It was hardly surprising that Vera quickly became accustomed to having Quill at her beck and call.
At first, she was worried that she would be unable to get used to the lifestyle of a rich man's wife.
However, it wasn't like what she thought. The Hanover home had only two occupants, Quill and herself. Oh, and also a cat. It was a quiet household indeed.
However, at the same time, there was also a trace of loneliness. If possible, Vera really wished that Quill's parents were still alive, then at least her children would get to know their grandparents.
Unfortunately, a lot of things were out of her control.
Meanwhile, Minerva had come over numerous times with Jelly Bean in tow to visit Vera. Vera realized that Jelly Bean was becoming increasingly beautiful. Her eyes were mesmerizing, her lips were as red as rose petals, and her skin was flawless and fair. In short, Jelly Bean had inherited her parents' good looks.
Also, Jelly Bean had a very goofy smile.
This made Vera enjoy making Jelly Bean laugh. She had snapped a picture of Jelly Bean laughing and shared it on social media.
"I'm going to have to file a complaint," Minerva had said. "Jelly Bean looks better when she's not laughing, but you posted a photo that makes her look like an idiot."
"That's great, isn't it? This is how kids should be. There's no need for them to be so conscious when they're so young. Furthermore, Beanie is a smart kid, he'll take good care of his sister."
Minerva was still worried. "I'm really scared. She's beautiful, but I'm kind of worried that she won't be smart. It's fine if she isn't as smart as her dad, but I hope she will at least have my level of intelligence. If not, then I'm the one to blame."
"Nah, don't think too much." Vera grasped Minerva's hand and said with admiration, "I want to have a daughter as cute as Jelly Bean."
Vera did not know whether she was pregnant with a daughter or a son. Although she was fine with either gender, she hoped that her first child would be a daughter. As for the second child, it was all up to fate.
"Of course you will. Just try harder with Quill," Minerva said with a laugh.
The topic seemed to have veered in a slightly inappropriate direction, and Vera blushed as she kept silent.
"By the way, have you called Sam?"
Hearing this, Vera was stunned.
"Didn't you call him?"
Vera shook her head and asked in confusion, "Why should I call him?"
Vera looked Hike she had no idea about what had happened. Honestly, Minerva didn't expect Vera to be uninformed over what happened. Quill had neglected to inform Vera about the incident.
"You know, Sam also rushed in to save you from
the fire."
Vera was astonished upon hearing that, and she looked horrified.
"What did you say? Sam...rushed into the fire as well?"
"Mhmm." Minerva nodded. "I thought you knew."
"No one told me, not even Quill."
"Ah, don't blame Quill for this. You were traumatized by what
happened, and he was worried
about you, so that must be why he
didn't tell you. I wouldn't tell you
either if I were him."
"Relax, I know that. I won't be mad at Quill over this. I just didn't know that Sam tried to save me as well. I had no idea. I didn't even thank him."
The fire was so intense that Vera could only hide in the bathroom. Even Quill was burned when he rushed inside, let alone Sam.
Yet, she had no idea.
As the thought crossed her mind, Vera felt very upset. She knew Sam liked her, but not to this extent.
Minerva seemed to have seen through her discomfort.
"You don't know what to say, huh?"
Vera nodded.
"Sam has a girlfriend now. Do you know that?"
Vera paused for a moment when she heard that, then she nodded her head.
"I know. I saw her when I went to invite him to my wedding. She's beautiful."
Minerva nodded as she recalled the day she met Olivia. "Yes, she's very pretty. I met her that day at the hospital when she went to see Sam."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"So, you mean that she knows that Sam rushed into the fire to save me?" As Vera said this, she became a little flustered. "Oh, no. Will she blame Sam? Will they quarrel?"
"I'm not too sure about that."
Minerva shook her head and looked
thoughtful. "But I don't think she's
that kind of person. Sam was injured rather badly back then. They went off to a corner to talk, but Sam was left standing there by himself in the end. To be honest, even if she does get mad, that's just human nature. Wouldn't you do the same if Quill endangered himself to save some other woman?"
