"Accompanying Mr. Lowell?" There was a slight change in Quill's eyes. It seemed that Ernest was bored to death; he deliberately came over and waited for so long just to have a meal. Not only that, he even

called him over as well.

"Do you want me to bring you upstairs?"

Mabie's words pulled Quill back to reality. He smiled politely and said faintly, "Thank you for the offer, Auntie. I can go up by myself. I rushed over today, so I didn't prepare anything. I'll visit you some other time."

His tone was indifferent, but Mabie did not think there was anything wrong at all. After all, he was an outstanding man, yet he was willing to come over to look for her daughter again and again. Although Vera ignored him for an entire day, he remained his cool.

He also did not try to flatter Mabie only because she was Vera's mother, and Mabie was indeed satisfied with that.

She didn't care how good the man's attitude was toward herself and David, as long as he treated their daughter sincerely.

"What are you talking about? It's good enough that you're here. You don't have to visit us purposely. Alright, why don't you head up first."

Quill smiled faintly and said gently, "Thank you, Auntie."

After Quill went upstairs, Mabie kept thinking that something was amiss. It took her a long time to finally realize what the problem was.

When she said that Vera was with Mr. Lowell upstairs, she unconsciously blurted it out. However, Quill did not ask who Mr. Lowell was. Could it be that he knew who he was? Did the two of them actually know each other?

Vera would have just brought Ernest his pasta and left at ordinary times. But she felt a little embarrassed at the fact that he waited for her for so long, and they were on a first-name basis after, so Vera felt that they weren't that distant anymore.

At least they were slightly closer now, so she just sat there and accompanied Ernest for his meal.

Seeing Vera sitting upright in front of him, Ernest recalled the times his wife was still alive. She was around his age, so when she passed, they were around Vera's age.

However, his wife was not as well-behaved as Vera. She was always playful and mischievous, and she couldn't sit still even when they were having a meal. She would always fool around with him, sometimes asking him to feed her, and she would feed him as well. They were always clingy after they confirmed their relationship.

Ernest knew that others gossiped that they wouldn't last long as they were too clingy, but they never broke up. Later on, they got married, and their relationship became even better after marriage, unfortunately...

Fate was indeed fair.
