Quill was speechless.

His gaze looked a little bit gloomy, and he leaned over to unfasten the seat belt for Beanie.

"You may leave now. Go look for Auntie Vera."

Beanie sat still, then looked up and stared at him.

"Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet. How did you know that Auntie Vera lives here?"

Beanie looked like he was unwilling to leave until Quill had answered him.

Quill tightened his lips and looked indifferent. "With my ability, it's not very difficult to replace out where a person lives."

"Since you already got my answer, you can get out of the car now. I have to go back to the company."

"But I don't know where exactly Auntie Vera stays. Uncle, can you take me there?"

Quill looked at him and thought, "This little guy is actually asking more from me."

"Uncle, you're so resourceful. You must know where Auntie Vera stays right? Uncle, take me with you. I'm afraid to go by myself."

After that, Beanie held Quill's arm tightly and refused to let go. He was audacious.

If he didn't take him, Beanie would probably cling to him all the time. If he took him...

Quill didn't actually know which house she lived in.

After thinking for a while, he got out of the car with Beanie. The boy followed him excitedly. He thought that Quill would take him to Auntie Vera's house directly.

He didn't expect that Quill would take him to the security guards after getting out of the car.

Beanie was speechless.

It seemed like Quill really didn't know.

After asking, he then took Beanie with him.

Ding-dong...

Vera had been sitting in front of the dressing table since she came home. After applying some ice on her eyes and making sure that her eyes didn't look swollen anymore, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still some redness in her eyes, she would look much better when dusk fell. At that time, her parents would surely not notice anything strange.

It was still early, and she was not in the mood to do anything else, so she simply browsed the Internet to look at some decorations for the store.

Ernest was very easy to talk to. Although he won't allow anyone to alter the decoration, it was still possible for her to add other decorations. After entering the website, she looked through the decorations carefully.

Time passed quietly just like that.

Ding-dong...

The doorbell rang suddenly. Vera was shocked for a moment, and then she looked up from the screen.

Was it her illusion? The doorbell actually rang? She subconsciously took a look at the time. Who would come at this time?

Could it be Amelia next door?

Thinking of this, she put down the mouse in her hand and went to open the door.

After opening the door, she was too shocked to move after seeing who was at the doorstep.

"Beanie??"

Why did he come? Wasn't he eating with Quill in the restaurant? How could it be...

"Auntie Vera." When Beanie called her, he glanced at Quill at the stairs from the corner of his eyes. When they heard Vera's footsteps from the room, Quill quickly walked to the side and asked Beanie not to make a sound so that his presence wouldn't be known.

Beanie didn't say it explicitly, but he kept glancing at him.

Quill frowned. He knew that things would not go well if Beanie kept glancing at him. Hence, he quickly entered the lift and left before Vera noticed him.

Sure enough, she realized that something was not right after looking at Beanie's expression. At first, she subconsciously wanted to pop her head out to have a look.

However, when she thought of a certain possibility, she immediately halted her movements, and she did not dare to move forward again.

"Auntie Vera," Beanie called her in a piteous manner.

She came to her senses and gave a smile. "Since you're here, come in first."

Beanie looked disappointed. He didn't expect his uncle to escape in such a hurry, and it seemed like Auntie Vera didn't intend to go out to have a look. What had really happened?

After entering the house, Vera quickly closed the door. Beanie didn't know if it was just his illusion or not, but he felt that she closed the door a little too hard.

"Do you want something to drink? Do you want to have a glass of juice? No, it's too cold now. It's not good for your health. I will make some hot chocolate for you." After that, she went into the kitchen straight away regardless of Beanie's answer.

He stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he walked to the kitchen.

He then leaned against the door of the kitchen and looked at Vera who was making hot chocolate for him. She looked really unhappy.

"Auntie Vera, are your eyes swollen?"

He couldn't help but ask.

She paused for a moment, and then answered him. It then became a long silence.

After quite a while, she poured the chocolate into a cup and walked over to him.

Steam was coming out of the cup, and Vera's expression seemed to be a little vague and unclear in the steam.

"Here you go."

She bent down slightly and gave the drink to him

"Drink it, and you will feel warmer. Since you came here so early, you haven't eaten anything, right? I'll make something for you to eat, okay? Well, I'll make some pasta, okay?"

"Auntie Vera..." Beanie couldn't really give a smile nor agree. He felt that although she was smiling, she looked really sad.

Thinking of this, he reached out his hands and touched her cheek gently. "Auntie Vera, don't smile anymore."

The smile on her face froze, and her

eyes turned a little red. However, as soon as she noticed that she had

lost her composure, she quickly

turned her back before her tears fell

down.

"Beanie, I'm fine, but I can't be your aunt in the future. You... won't blame me, will you?"

Beanie didn't say anything.

He held the cup and did not say a word.

"I initially wanted to be your aunt because I could love you even more, but now that I think about it... I can continue to love you even if I am not your aunt. If you miss me in the future just make a phone call to me. I will pick you up right away. However, your uncle is very busy at work. The things that happened today, please don't let it occur again in the future, okay?"

She tried to speak as calmly as possible, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

However, he was very upset when he heard what she said.

"Auntie Vera, did you give up?"

She was dumbfounded.

Did she give up?

Yes, her feelings had been one-sided all the time. It was time for her to give up.

If she did not give up now, she would not have any pride left in her. How would she continue to live on in the future?

However, she did not want to affect

him with her negative emotions, so

she could only say lightly, "I didn't mean to give up. I just found that there is a lot of fun in life. Besides, I a will manage a restaurant soon and I will be very busy. I'll have no time to think about things like this anymore."
