"Do you have a crush on me?" Sam was stunned because of this simple sentence which consisted of only a few words.
He stood rooted to the ground and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
For a moment, he thought it was just a hallucination.
Otherwise, how could he hear Vera asking him, "Do you have a crush on me?" No matter how he thought about it, he felt that she didn't seem to be someone who would ask such a question.
However, he had indeed heard it.
"That..." He said. He seemed to feel that his face was burning. His tone and eyes beceven more flustered. "It's not what you think. There might be smisunderstanding," he said.
"Misunderstanding?" She asked. She blinked her eyes and then took a glance at that glass of water in front of her.
Sam did not say anything at that moment.
Did pouring a glass of water for her mean anything? Although he really liked her, he could not win her heart in the past. It was even more impossible for her to fall in love with him at that moment as there was such a huge scar on his face.
Besides, his scar looked somewhat terrifying.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Alright," Vera replied. She shrugged her shoulders as if she didn't care about it and said, "Then you can just assit as a misunderstanding. Go back to sleep." At first, he thought that she would argue about it. However, he didn't expect that she would admit that she had misunderstood it. She then picked up the glass of water and started drinking.
For sreason, he started to feel heartache. Looking at her indifferent expression, he had a pressing urge to say something. "It is not a misunderstanding, I really have a crush on you," he pondered to himself.
However, as soon as he thought of the scar on his face, that idea disappeared instantly.
Both his hands were clenched into fists, then they loosened and clenched again. He pursed his thin lips, turned around, and left the kitchen in silence.
After finishing a glass of water and seeing him leave in silence, Vera could not help frowning.
"Is it my illusion? Why did he seem to be in a bad mood just now? Was he speechless because of the question that I just asked?" She pondered to herself. She didn't mean to ask that. It was just that she seemed to have seen Quill when she looked at Sam just now. That was why she had just blurted out that question.
When she thought about it at that moment, she felt that it was somehow inappropriate. Regardless of whether he had feelings for her or not, wouldn't her question make him feel awkward? How awkward would it be for them to meet in the future? Thinking of this, she shook her head hard, finished up the remaining water in the glass, then picked up her blanket and returned to her room.
Vera, who had just returned to her room for a nap, did not notice that there were tons of missed calls as her handphone was on silent mode. She slept soundly that night.
Minerva felt that she had slept for a long time. A lot of things had happened in her dream. When she woke up, she felt that she could still recall sof the memories.
However, as she opened her eyes, whatever happened in her dreams was swallowed up by reality little by little. After she turned over and kept staring at the sunlight outside the window for a long while, she had already forgotten everything that she had dreamt of the night before. After lying on her bed for a while, Minerva realized that she was the only one in the room. Vera had gone out after she woke up.
She rolled over and got up, then went out.
It was so quiet in the room and there was no one inside. Minerva called out tentatively, "Vera, Beanie?" No one responded to her.
She went around to the front of Maddox's room. When she pushed it open, she realized that there was no one inside either.
She stood rooted on the ground with her bare feet, staring at the empty room in a daze.
"Could it be that what happened yesterday was actually just a dream? Beanie had never been here at all? "But, why is it that those things were so real? It seems like they have really happened in reality," she thought to herself.
As she was still confused, she heard a voice ringing out behind her.
"Minerva?" That was...
She suddenly turned around and saw Vera, who was standing behind her in an apron. There was also a plate of aromatic food in her hand.
"Why are you standing here like a fool? And you aren't even wearing slippers. You are a pregnant woman now. Are you getting clumsy because you've been sleeping too much? Or is it because you're pregnant?" Minerva asked, "What are you talking about?" She returned to her room and put on a pair of slippers. When she saw that Vera had already moved the dishes to the table, she sat down.
"What tis it now? Why is there no one here?" She asked.
Upon hearing that, Vera couldn't help rolling her eyes and then said, "Am I not a human? Minerva, you're so heartless. I have also travelled a long way with them to visit you, and I was also Beanie's bodyguard all the way. However, it seems like you don't even care aboutat all." Minerva couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Don't you want to be Beanie's aunt?" Vera was stunned hearing that.
"So, as a future aunt, what are you trying to ask from me?" Vera was speechless because of her words. She tilted her head and thought that if she could really be Beanie's future aunt, then there seemed to be nothing to take credit for.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter thinking for a while, she curled her lips and said, "Well, you are just curious about the whereabouts of the two men, aren't you? They went out early in the morning, leavingand you at home." "Went out early in the morning?"
Why did they go out so early? Minerva was a little confused.
However, before she could ask, Vera had already pushed the plate of food over. "Alright, pregnant woman, don't ask anything anymore. Hurry up and eat, or else the baby in your stomach will get hungry later," she said. Upon hearing Vera's words, Minerva suddenly felt hungry.
She didn't say anything else and started digging in.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down and began to eat, Vera breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm just afraid that you're hungry. You're a pregnant woman living alone in a foreign country for so long. Your brother is really worried about you," she said. There was a slight change in Minerva's facial expression when she heard Quill's name. Hence, she blurted out one more question.
"Speaking of my brother, did he agree to let you and Beanie chere?" She asked.
Vera's face changed, and she was immediately lost for words.
Noticing the change in her facial expression, Minerva slowed down eating. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, "Don't tellthat you guys are here without him knowing?" After a moment of silence, Vera immediately tried to plead with her with a pitiful expression.
"Minerva, dear Minerva... I didn't mean to hide it from your brother, but... If I told him, he would definitely not agree to letcand find you with Beanie. I had discussed it with Beanie before. Sam also cwith us at that time, so we were more at ease." The content is on chapter there! novelenglish.net! Read the latest Minerva nodded and digested her words. After a while, she said, "So, you went abroad with another man without my brother's knowledge?" Vera replied, "What do you mean by another man? Sam is Young Master Yardley's assistant! That has nothing to do with me!" Upon hearing that, Minerva just smiled and did not say anything.
Vera becnervous and said, "Don't you talk nonsense in front of your brother. I have only liked your brother for so long. You should know that." X
