As the thought crossed her mind, Vera's expression became somewhat nuanced.

As if possessed, she suddenly raised her head to look at Quill and asked, "Um, You have good control over your desires at your age, don't you? Or perhaps you're out of your depths about doing it?"

Quill had just buttoned up his shirt and was about to sit down for dinner when he heard Vera's words. His expression changed instantly.

"Say that again?"

His gaze said it all, and Vera instantly knew she had shot herself in the foot, so she lowered her head and ate at once. "N-Nothing."

She had a look of regret on her face after she lowered her head. Aargh! Why did she not have a filter on her mouth?! Quill was a man; if any man was questioned of his ability, it would definitely hurt his dignity. Alas, what was wrong with her? Could it be that he had spoiled her rotten that she began to act unscrupulously and dared to say anything and everything?

However, Quill didn't make a move. Vera raised her head awkwardly and pushed the food to his front. "Here, have some."

After that, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Quill's eyes. She was truly digging her own grave just now. She hoped that Quill would not think too much about it. Fortunately, Quill didn't press on but sat down and ate, looking deadpan. Vera sneaked a peek at him and thought he probably didn't take it to heart, or perhaps he just didn't let it show. The two finished their meal in silence. During that, Vera couldn't stop thinking about Quill's state of mind, so she had completely lost sight of all that had happened during the day.

After the meal, Vera nestled in her chair and didn't want to move. Quill stood up and stoically cleared the table. Vera originally wanted to help, but she thought she should let him do it to see how tolerant he was of her.

When Quill was throwing the trash, Vera ran directly to the sofa to lie down. After a while, she started feeling sleepy. As her eyelids grew heavy, she could hear Quill's footsteps approaching.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her, but she was too sleepy to care.

Shocked, she was suddenly in mid- air. Vera opened her eyes in a panic and happened to meet Quill's gaze; she was dumbfounded for a moment.

"What are you doing?"

Carrying her in his arms, Quill walked up the stairs without a word.

Before Vera could even figure out what was going on, she was already in his room.
