Vera then turned around and ran into the kitchen.

After Quill was done talking to Ernest, he turned back and found that Vera had already run into the kitchen, leaving Mabie standing there alone.

He paused for a while and then regained his calm demeanor. After bidding goodbye to Mabie, he left with Ernest.

Vera stayed in the kitchen for a long time, and Mabie went in.

"Mom, have they left?"

"They've left. Why didn't you stay out there if you're that curious about it?"

Vera didn't answer her. She thought that she had just met Quill earlier that morning. What if he got tired of her because she was too clingy? After she started dating, she didn't care much about the businesses anymore. That wasn't a good thing. She should allocate her time well.

Time flew by, and soon it was the end of the month. There were only two days until Minerva was due.

Maddox kept an even tighter watch on her, rarely leaving her side. In Beanie's words, his father had gone completely mad. He guarded his mother like a madman and controlled her in every aspect. Beanie felt exasperated. A man in love...

As Minerva was due soon, Maddox was still keeping watch at the side when Minerva called her over, and it made Vera feel extremely uncomfortable. She did not even have the chance to tell Minerva her

secrets.

She could only keep her voice low as she complained to Minerva.

"Why isn't Mr. Yardley leaving? I feel so uncomfortable when he's here staring at us like that."

Although Vera knew that Maddox's attention was fully on Minerva, she was still there as well. She felt that the atmosphere was tense when Maddox was in the room.

Minerva was peeling and eating an orange, and she gave Maddox a glance once she heard Vera's words. She found him sitting there with his hands crossed, staring at them all the while.

Minerva couldn't help but sigh. She turned to Vera and said, "To tell you the truth, I feel like he has gone mad lately. I don't know if he'll be better after the baby's born. He has been keeping watch as if I'm a prisoner."

Vera replied, "That sounds a little scary."

After saying that, Vera suddenly thought of her future with Quill. If she was pregnant, would Quill keep an eye on her like how Mr. Yardley would?

It seemed... that it wasn't too annoying either.

Thinking of that, Vera suddenly understood Maddox's actions. Perhaps it was because he really loved her that he was acting that way.
