"Some?" Quill squinted. He hadn't planned on giving her any; who would've thought that she actually wanted to eat a few pieces.

Vera saw him squinting and immediately corrected herself.

"Two pieces!" She stretched out two fingers. "How about that? I'll eat only two pieces; then I won't eat anymore."

Quill looked at her silently.

Vera coughed and slowly put down one finger. "How about... one piece?"

Quill remained silent.

Vera suddenly became dejected. Although she really wanted to eat cake, if Quill didn't agree, she would bear the pain and give up the idea. "Forget it then. I won't eat it."

Vera became downcast. Just as she dropped her head, Quill patted the back of her head helplessly. He gave her the piece of cake he was holding. "Go ahead."

Seeing so, Vera's eyes lit up immediately. She looked up at Quill as if she was asking for his permission.

"Really? You won't be angry?"

"This is the last piece." Quill moved his hand from the back of her head to her cheek and pushed back a few strands of loose hair gently.

"Mhm!" Vera replied enthusiastically.

Minerva's eyes sparkled as she watched them. She didn't know if she was feeling glad or lament. In the past, Quill had told her he wasn't going to get married and even wanted her to give birth to a few more children on his behalf. Who would've thought... It sure was a slap in the face.

Not only was he in love with Vera, but he was also spoiling her thoroughly.

Minerva was undoubtedly happy that her best friend and brother were happy together. However, Vera still had no self-confidence. Perhaps she should think of a way to help improve their relationship? Minerva put her hand on her chin and looked at them thoughtfully.

Got it!

The corners of Minerva's lips curved into a smile. She was going to do just that.
