In the end, Quill stroked her head again and asked her to go upstairs. Vera turned around and left with a blushing face.

When she went back inside, she was still spacing out.

After all, what happened was too illusory. Did Quill seem to be a lot more gentle to her? Although his tone was still as indifferent as before, it was no longer as cold and unapproachable. Was it because of that kiss?

Thinking of that, Vera's cheeks started to heat up.

Swoosh...

The door opened, and Mabie poked her head out.

"What are you doing? Why are you giggling by the door?"

Vera immediately stopped smiling and snorted as she went back to her room.

In the Ocean Villa.

On the wooden patio by the sea, Minerva sat down with difficulty while supporting her belly. She tried to put her feet into the cold waters. Then, a faint voice rang out from behind. "Mommy, Daddy will be upset if he sees that."

As she heard that, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She turned around to look at Beanie, who followed behind her. She looked a little awkward.

"He's not here, isn't he? I'll do it secretly; he won't catch me."

Beanie blinked innocently and said, "But Mommy, Daddy asked me to keep an eye on you before he went out."

Minerva was speechless.

"Beanie, I am your mommy. Are you sure you want to bully me along with your daddy?"

Beanie walked to Minerva's side, pulled on her sleeve, and pouted in dissatisfaction.

"But Mommy, you're going to have a baby soon. The water is so cold at this hour; it's not good for your health..."

"The weather is getting warmer; it's no big deal for me to have some fun, is it?"

As she was due very soon, Maddox kept an even tighter eye on her; she wasn't allowed to go anywhere. He was so protective of her as if she was a precious jewel, afraid that anything might happen to her. Minerva didn't know to be sad or happy about it.
