Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Quill had no idea that he had already become the topic of discussion between his subordinates. He brought Vera out for a meal and sent her back.

He gave Minerva a call on the way back, and they booked a private room in a restaurant.

Minerva came over on her own. At first, Maddox wanted to tag along, but she didn't agree to it. She felt that what she wanted to talk about was a serious matter, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Maddox to follow.

If Maddox followed, Beanie would definitely want to tag along too.

Therefore, in the end, Minerva went alone. Quill went to pick her up.

The siblings ordered a few dishes and chatted as they ate.

It had been a very long time since they had a meal together like that. Quill used to be an overprotective brother, and he doted on Minerva particularly after he found her. He wanted to give her everything. But after Minerva found the love of her life, she spent nearly all her time with Maddox. Therefore, their chances of meeting up had become rare.

Minerva lamented at the fact that they were able to spend time together again. She suddenly remembered how Quill would fly in and out of the country frequently back then. She had just given birth to Beanie at that time, and Vera had only started liking Quill.

Thinking of that, Minerva couldn't help but smile.

"What's so funny?" Seeing Minerva smile, his mood softened, and his tone was also exceptionally gentle.

Minerva said softly, "It's nothing. I was just thinking of the past."

'The past?"

"Yeah. When you just found me. You were busy with work, yet you'd still fly to where I was. You were much skinnier back then, but you never had any complaints."

At the mention of the past, Quill felt emotional, too.

After some time, he smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing. You're my only sister. It's my responsibility to take care of you."

"Yeah. I was really afraid you wouldn't get married back then. But now, I don't have to worry anymore."

Speaking of that, Quill fell into deep thought. He didn't answer her; he only took some servings for Minerva. They ate silently for a while.
