However, Quill reckoned that his mother wasn't the one who should feel bad for his father.
On the contrary, he blamed himself. If it wasn't for him, his father might not have died.
When all was said and done, things had already happened that way. There was no room for 'what ifs' or any way that one could turn back time.
Therefore, Quill shouldered the responsibility of looking for his sister. After he found her, he naturally would treat her well and be a real brother to her. He would give her all the love he had as a brother, as well as the love he carried on for his father and mother. He would give it all to her.
Upon hearing that, Vera was not only shocked, but also achingly sad. She did not expect a twist like that behind the story.
What made her even sadder was the fact no one could control their feelings for a person. Phoebe had really fallen in love with her childhood friend, whom she spent all day and night with. Because of that, she felt sorry for Quill's biological father, who was long dead. To top it all off, Minerva's biological father had to die with regrets, never knowing that his wife had already fallen in love with him.

He lost three relatives consecutively, his closest family members. It was a crushing blow and an unimaginable sort of pain.
When she thought about it, tears welled up in Vera's eyes. She reached out and hugged him tightly.
"What is it?" He asked, somewhat amused.
"I will give you warmth in the future. The kids and I will definitely stay by your side. I want to grow old together with you." He didn't expect to hear such a loving confession after talking about his past. A sudden warmth enveloped his heart.
To be honest, ever since he started dating Vera, he was not as cold as he used to be.
In the past, besides being king to his sister, he was usually a picture of icy calmness. He didn't even seem like a normal human being.
Whereas now, he was like a real human with warmth to him.
"It's a deal. You can't break your promise, otherwise..." He paused for a moment and whispered in her ear in a very deep voice, "I won't let you off, even if it means chasing you to the underworld." Since the twins were still young, Vera was bored alone at home. Therefore, Minerva often brought Jelly Bean along with her to visit. Eight months had passed, and Jelly Bean looked more beautiful than before. Her eyes resembled Minerva's, and she even knew how to greet Vera by calling her 'auntie'. However, she still struggled with it and stuttered sometimes.
The little girl seemed to be very intelligent. Her eyes were bright and brilliant, as if they could speak for her. When she smiled, they disappeared into slits.
Jelly Bean looked silly when smiling and laughing, but she loved doing so.
When she looked at Minerva, Vera recalled what she had told her. She thought about the fact that Minerva and Quill were step-siblings of different fathers. She thought about it, but she wasn't the kind to babble about it.
"Auntie Vera, Mommy, Jelly Bean, and I have cto keep you company." In comparison to last year, Beanie had grown much taller. He looked mature. Although he was tall, he was all bones.
Vera bent down and reached out to pinch his cheek.

After you married Uncle Quill, you never had tforanymore." In the past, Vera spoiled him. He loved the meals she cooked for him. However, after she had gotten pregnant, he never got to taste her cooking again.
He thought that he would be able to see her everyday and eat her cooking when she bechis aunt. Who knew that things would be much different.
His mommy was also occupied by his bad daddy. If his Daddy wasn't there, Jelly Bean would be taking up his mommy's attention. However, since Jelly Bean was his sister, he gave her sleeway and didn't make a fuss about it.
However, that b*stard daddy really was a b*stard daddy! He made it seem like his mommy was all his.
Beanie was extremely dissatisfied with Maddox.
"Oh my." Vera couldn't help but reach out and tousle his hair. "You're so angry. Since that's the case, I'll cook for you today, okay?" He snorted softly and turned his head away.
"Con, don't be angry. I didn't have the tfor you because I was pregnant, but I never forgot about you. In fact, I missed you everyday. Since em more free now, you can cand visitwhenever you want. You can even move into our house." "Alright." Minerva prodded his back. "How old are you? Why are you still pestering your aunt like this? Don't you know how hard it was for her during her pregnancy? When I was pregnant with you, I also suffered a lot." After hearing that, he immediately turned around and hugged Minerva's leg. He lifted his little face and said, "Mommy, it must have been hard. I was just joking with Auntie Vera." That day, Vera personally cooked them a meal. She even called Quill and told him that Beanie and Minerva were there. He informed her that he would be back at noon.
