Hearing that, Vera's face blushed. She forgot everything else for a moment and pushed Quill away.

"Stop being so mischievous. I'm talking about a serious matter."

"Am I being mischievous?" Quill's gaze deepened as his tone turned hoarser, "How? Is not going to the company to spend more time with you considered so? Or... are you the one who's being mischievous?" Vera exclaimed, "Stop talking!"

She pushed him away, but it somehow allowed him to grasp her hands instead before pulling her into his embrace, wrapping her slender arms around his own waist. He lowered his head to lean in closer to her, "What's wrong about that? How long have you been neglecting me? At first, it was for the sake of the children, but what happened after that? Are others' affairs reasons to disturb our alone time as well? Even if there really is a problem with his marriage, he deserves it. It has nothing to do with you."

Vera pouted and looked at him, "Why are you being so cold? He's our friend, right?"

"Friend?" Quill sighed helplessly, "You're on friendly terms with him, but we were never friends."

When Sam used to like Vera, both of them had been rivals in love.

Quill had a cold personality to begin with, so he did not have a nice impression of Sam. He even treated his brother-in-law, Maddox, coldly. Perhaps it was because he had lost too much when he was young and had grown up alone after.

Having been able to endure so much alone, he had long developed such an icy personality.

Thinking of that, Vera's heart ached for him. She could only reach out to hold him tighter.

"Come on. You have to try to accept others. Sam has never regarded you as his enemy. One more friend would mean that there's one more person who cares about you."

It was a surprise to have Vera by his side. Quill himself had never expected it, let alone a friend.

However, after being in a relationship with her, his heart had indeed opened up because he had never been used to having others close to him. Every night, he slept with her in his arms. Sometimes, she would toss and turn until she was no longer covered with the quilt, and he would wake up and tuck her in as he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Most importantly, he had two children. Quill instantly felt as if he had a lot more family members in the world.

Vera brought not only herself but also the children and her parents to him.

Mabie and David had also turned into his parents. They would constantly remind him to take care of himself. It was indeed a great feeling to have someone feel concerned about him. After all, He had always played a role as brother to care for Minerva.
