That woman came out of nowhere, and he had heard her conversation with Jennifer. So when he heard that his uncle was going to meet with that woman, he was immediately on high alert. He had to tag along and keep an eye on his uncle.

Beanie snorted.

He didn't care about what others thought; Vera would definitely be his uncle's wife in the future.

If it were in the past, Beanie wouldn't forcefully insist like this. However, after Beanie knew Vera became Quill's girlfriend, he would only acknowledge Vera as his auntie.

Both Maddox and Beanie had ulterior motives. Only Jelly Bean, who was in Maddox's arms, was still laughing foolishly. Then, Maddox pointed at her and looked at Minerva without any expression, "See, even Jelly Bean wants to follow."

Hearing that, the corner of Minerva's lips twitched.

He could have just tagged along if he wanted to; was it necessary for him to spout such nonsense? She decided to ignore him and send a message to Yulia.

The restaurant Minerva booked was in the hotel below where Yulia was staying, in hopes of bringing convenience to her. She would still be able to make it in time if she took the elevator downstairs when Minerva and Quill arrived.

Whereas the Ocean Villa was slightly further away, hence Minerva had to leave earlier.

Throughout the journey, Jelly Bean was making baby sounds. She would play with her hands and bite on her fist, and at some point, she would chuckle as she played with Beanie.

Because of sweet Jelly Bean, the atmosphere in the car was vivid.

Soon, they arrived at the hotel lobby.

Just when Minerva was about to text Yulia, she saw a familiar figure standing by the hotel entrance.

It was Yulia.

Minerva didn't expect her to come down so early.
