Quill was late.

Precisely, he was 20 minutes late.

The first thing he said when he entered the room was.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Minerva couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She knew Quill well that he would be always punctual.

But he was 20 minutes late this time. He was probably really caught up with something.

"Uncle Quill, were you stuck in traffic?" Beanie suddenly asked.

Quill glanced at Beanie and said lightly, "It's due to other reasons. I didn't know you guys would all come." He looked at Maddox and Jelly Bean, who was in his arms. They each sat by Minerva's side as if they were afraid that she would run away.

Quill sighed deeply when he saw this scene.

He used to think Minerva would bring Beanie up on her own. To his surprise, after such a long time, she even had her second child.

It was good too.

"Quill."

As he was deep in thought, a soft, trembling voice sounded.

Quill looked in the direction of the sound and saw a well-dressed and gentle woman looking at him. Her eyes were filled with excitement.

At first he couldn't recognize her, but after some time, old memories returned, the figure looked even more familiar.
