Minerva returned home with the fruits in her hand. Just as she was about to take off her shoes, she bumped into Vera.

"Where did you go so late at night?"

Minerva's lips trembled. She swung the bag in her hand nonchalantly. "I went downstairs to buy some fruits."

Receiving her answer, Vera turned to look at the clock. "If I recall correctly, you left the house 50 minutes ago? When you went downstairs to buy fruits, did you also take a stroll around?"

It was obvious that she was implying something else. The way Vera was looking at her said it all.

Minerva could not find the words to reply to her.

Wasn't Vera just trying to tease her? Minerva placed the fruits in the kitchen. "That's right. Because I was too full, I had to go down and take a stroll. Although I went out for quite some time, it's still much better than hiding upstairs. Am I right?"

Vera's teasing smile vanished instantly.

"Right?" Minerva asked, blinking innocently. Then, she burst into laughter.

However, Vera couldn't laugh. She pouted and snorted, "Will you die if you stop teasing me? Why must you bring that up again?"

"The same could be said to you."

After that, Vera sat on the sofa. She clutched a pillow in her hand as she scowled sullenly.

"There's a reason why I avoid coming downstairs. My Prince Charming is so excellent. It's only natural that I'm afraid to be around him." Minerva walked up to her to take a seat beside her. "Yes, that's your opinion."

She also clutched a pillow in her hands. When Minerva thought of what the little nurse had told her, her chest felt a little heavy.
