About Yulia, because she had said she didn't need any help, so Quill did not offer any aid. However, their families used to be close.

Although they had lost contact afterward, the friendship remained.

Most importantly, Yulia and Quill had an engagement when they were children.

Although Yulia didn't mention it during their meetup, Minerva still felt anxious when she thought about it. Not only was she Quill's sister, but she was also Vera's best friend.

They were both important to her. If anything were to happen, as a sister, she would be very upset as well.

Therefore, Minerva had been dwelling hard on this issue lately. She would even experience restless sleep. How could Maddox not know her situation when he slept by her side?

He could only advise her, "Actually, you don't have to worry about these things. The person who has to worry is Quill."

Hearing that, Minerva shook her head in disagreement, "I'm his sister and also Vera's best friend; how can I not be worried? You have no idea. When I went to Hanover Corporation that day, she said she was engaged to Quill when they were children. I saw it with my own eyes."

"So what?" Maddox was not concerned at all, "Who would care about things that happened in their childhood? Your brother aside, Yulia's family had fallen. She would certainly not mention the engagement at a time like this. Otherwise, it'll make her look like she's trying to take advantage of the Hanover family after facing such tragedy in her family."

"After chatting with her that day, I don't think she will bring this up based on her character. However, if this engagement exists, even if she doesn't mention it, it truly existed. Besides, if the elders from both families agreed to the engagement, it would be out of line, and also we would be going back on our words if she doesn't bring it up, and we pretend not to know about it."

Hearing this, Maddox couldn't help but laugh. He propped Minerva's chin with his finger and looked her in the eye as he said with a hoarse voice, "Since when do you care so much about keeping your words and the reputation of the Hanover family?"

Minerva rolled her eyes and said, "What? I'm a part of the Hanover family; of course, I have to care about the reputation of my family. Should I be concerned about the Yardley family's reputation instead?" "Huh? Of course. You are Maddox Yardley's woman now." Maddox leaned closer to her. He kissed the corner of her lips lightly, and his voice became even deeper, "Dead or alive, you are part of the Yardley family. Won't your conscience hurt if you don't care about the Yardley family's reputation?"

After saying that, his kiss no longer fell on the corner of her lips. Instead, it was directly on her lips. He kissed deeply until she was out of breath.

Minerva glared at him.

"What? Are you blaming your husband for being distracted?"

Minerva was at a loss for words for a moment. "No way. I was just thinking; it wouldn't be appropriate for Quill to talk about it. Why don't I... Mm." Before she could finish her words, Maddox bit her lower lip.

"It is now our time as husband and wife. I'll get upset if you continue to talk about other things."
