Minerva and Maddox came back and were changing their shoes when Minerva noticed Vera's shoes were thrown messily on the floor. She figured that she had probably gone out and just came back. She sighed lightly, bent down, placed the shoes back on the shelf, and then went in.

Maddox and Quill followed behind.

Quill suddenly thought of something and said to Minerva, "I'll pack up my things and head out later. I have a flight to catch tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She asked in surprise, "You're going to leave tonight? Do you need to leave this early just to catch a flight for tomorrow?"

Her face was filled with reluctance as she spoke.

It wasn't every day that Quill was able to see her, and because so many things had happened, she wasn't able to spend a lot of time with him. She didn't even get the chance to bring him around the area. Now that everything had settled, she did not expect Quill to be heading back so soon.

And he wasn't even going to stay a night longer.

Seeing the reluctance on his younger sister's face, Quill looked at her lovingly and reached out his hand to stroke her head.

"You don't want me to leave?"

Maddox's eyes flashed and he narrowed his eyes dangerously When he saw Quill's action.

Although he knew that Quill was Minerva's older brother, Quill was still another man in his eyes. To caress his wife's head so intimately, the action...

It made him very unhappy.

However, despite Maddox's unhappiness.

He swallowed them down when he saw how reluctant his wife was to leave her brother.

He was her family nonetheless.

Before Minerva was married to Maddox, her family members were the ones she relied on. Besides, Quill was going to leave the next day, why should he be bothered about this?
