Minerva and Maddox cback and were changing their shoes when Minerva noticed Vera's shoes were thrown messily on the floor. She figured that she had probably gone out and just cback. She sighed lightly, bent down, placed the shoes back on the shelf, and then went in.
Maddox and Quill followed behind.
Quill suddenly thought of something and said to Minerva, "I'll pack up my things and head out later. I have a flight to catch tomorrow." Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped in her tracks. She asked in surprise, "You're going to leave tonight? Do you need to leave this early just to catch a flight for tomorrow?" Her face was filled with reluctance as she spoke.
It wasn't every day that Quill was able to see her, and because so many things had happened, she wasn't able to spend a lot of twith him. She didn't even get the chance to bring him around the area. Now that everything had settled, she did not expect Quill to be heading back so soon.
And he wasn't even going to stay a night longer.
Seeing the reluctance on his younger sister's face, Quill looked at her lovingly and reached out his hand to stroke her head.
"You don't wantto leave?" Maddox's eyes flashed and he narrowed his eyes dangerously When he saw Quill's action.
Although he knew that Quill was Minerva's older brother, Quill was still another man in his eyes. To caress his wife's head so intimately, the action...
It made him very unhappy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, despite Maddox's unhappiness.
He swallowed them down when he saw how reluctant his wife was to leave her brother.
He was her family nonetheless.
Before Minerva was married to Maddox, her family members were the ones she relied on. Besides, Quill was going to leave the next day, why should he be bothered about this? "Quill, you've only been here for a few days. There were too many things to deal with, I didn't even get to entertain you well..." In her heart, she was really sorry.
"Silly girl," Quill smiled faintly. "I'm your older brother. It's fine if you don't have the time. Besides... I've seen how your family has reunited.
My trip here was not in vain." After that, he retracted his hand and said, "Well, let's go in." Sam was still standing in the sspot. Soon, he heard footsteps, and then Minerva and the others cin. Three pairs of eyes fell onto Sam.
All three of them began to form their own thoughts when they saw the slap mark imprinted on Sam's face. Minerva was shocked for a moment and asked, "Did something happen? Sam...your face.." Sam snapped out of his daze when he realized there was a slap mark on his face.
Even though he was a man and he had tough skin, the slap Vera gave him was so hard that he still felt a stinging pain.
Quill stared at the slap mark and his gaze slowly turned dark.
"Nothing happened," Sam opened his mouth and explained softly. His gaze flashed past Quill and both of their eyes locked for a moment before breaking off again.
Minerva was skeptical when Sam said nothing had happened. However, Sam was worried that they would misunderstand, which would consequently make Vera angry, so he simply added, "Someone got too drunk." Vera did forbid him from telling anyone what happened that night, but he couldn't hide the slap mark on his face.
If he didn't say anything, their imaginations would run wilder. So it was better if he gave an excuse.
If he told them that Vera got too drunk and she accidentally slapped him, they would probably take his words and let things go.
"Got too drunk?" Minerva couldn't help but furrowed her brows. "What happened? She just recovered not long ago and now she's drinking? Is she trying to ruin herself?" She asked.
Sam smiled faintly and shrugged, showing that he didn't know either.
Quill, on the other hand, returned to his room and packed his luggage without saying a word.
The living room returned to silence. Minerva looked at the obvious print on Sam's face and couldn't help but say, "Vera is out of her mind. I'll go get sice for your swollen cheek." Minerva was about to take a step when Maddox grabbed her wrist. She turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" "Isn't your brother going to the hotel? Go and spend stwith him." Maddox looked at her with a gentle gaze. He reached out and stroked the sspot where Quill did, using his hand to cover up Quill's touch with his own, only then did he let go satisfyingly. "Go, just leave this to me." Minerva felt Maddox's action was a little strange but at the stime, there was nothing to comment about. She could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll go talk to him first. I'll cback later." "Sure." Maddox's eyes followed her until she left the room, then he looked at Sam. He snorted and asked, "You failed?" Sam didn't answer him.
He looked up at Young Master Yardley and seemed to have found a hint of insult in his gaze. Seeing that, Sam felt even more disheartened.
In the past, Maddox had often got into trouble with Minerva. However, now that he had lost his memory, he could make fun of him as he pleased? Sam had already been feeling unhappy, so he did not answer Maddox's question.
Maddox raised his eyebrows and smirked. "There's still another chance," He said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnother chance? Sam only felt that his life was shrouded in darkness upon hearing those words.
If he hadn't done what he did just now, he might still have a chance.
But now Vera must've hated him. Perhaps more correctly, loathed him. In the future, she would probably avoid him like a plague.
How could it be possible... that there would be another chance?
"Young Master Yardley..." Sam paused for a moment before om continuing "I'm not going to force her. Speople just don't belong toat all." It had been so many years. If he and Vera were fated to be together, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Upon hearing this, the ridicule in
Maddox's eyes diminished. He looked at Sam with disdain and said, "If you are just going to crumble after facing a little difficulty then it's best if you give up now. Don't waste anybody's time." "Young Master Yardley..." Maddox had wasted his tthat night in trying to create an opportunity for Sam.
"Fool," Maddox scolded him coldly. "You have to fight for what you want. What kind of man are you if you don't even want to try?" Sam didn't have the answer to his question.
Since when had Young Master Yardley becso chirpy? Was he actually giving him advice on how to pursue a girl? Sam suddenly felt that he had a whole new impression on him, and looked at Maddox in revelation. "Find sice for yourself. You look terrible." After saying that, Maddox took off his coat and walked towards the bedroom.
Sam sat on the sofa, still in a daze. He didn't get up to look for ice.
This slap mark... Sam wanted to leave it.
After all, it could be considered as something Vera gave him.
