Quill was as calm as usual when he heard that, and he said in a cold voice, "Did you especially come here because you have nothing else better to do?"

"You're right. I have nothing else to do, so I'm here to visit my dear sister."

"Sister?" Quill narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of that address.

"That's right. Vera has already regarded me as her older brother, so why don't you change your way of addressing me in the future?" As he said that, Ernest couldn't hide the laughter in his eyes anymore, "How does that sound to you? My dear brother-in-law?"

Quill didn't speak.

Vera, who was sitting at the side, knew that Ernest was totally taking advantage of Quill. She initially thought that it was no big deal regarding Ernest as her older brother, but she did not expect him to use it to make fun of Quill.

She thought that this kind of banter was nothing as it was just a form of address. It was just that she didn't know how Quill thought about it.

At that thought, Vera anxiously spoke up for Quill.

"That... Ernest, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Quill grabbed her hand and interrupted, "What are you anxious about?"

Vera was stunned upon hearing his words as she looked at him.

"Just let him call as he pleases. It's no big deal."

The most important thing was that Vera was by his side. Moreover, he was already happy knowing that she was protective of him.

Ernest felt extremely jealous as he watched the scene in front of him, "In the past, I didn't think you were the type who would dote on your girl even if you have fallen in love. Who would've thought that you're more doting than I imagine. Vera, you won't be able to find another man like him in the future. You have to cherish him well."

Vera blushed hearing their words and felt that she could no longer stay there. She retrieved her hand and said, "It's a little busy down there. I should go and help out. I'll let you two chat."

After that, Vera hurriedly got up and left before Quill could ask her to stay.
