Indeed, there were reports that some women who suffered from postpartum depression would hurt themselves and their children as it had become too much for them to cope with. However, Minerva would not have done such a thing if she was in their shoes.

If no one cared about you, wouldn't committing suicide just in vain? So she would stay strong in that situation. There was a saying, where there is life, there is hope.

No matter what, hurting herself was the stupidest way to Minerva.

As there were many other ways to resolve it.

Of course, what was more important was that there was only one chance at life. One should cherish it.

Minerva looked at Vera and asked softly, "How have you and Quill been doing?"

Hearing that, Vera smiled and replied, "We're doing well."

They were still the same. Every day was a sweet one ever since they got together. However, they couldn't spend much time together because of their busy schedules. Furthermore, Quill often went on business trips, so the time he spent with Vera was short.

Vera felt sad, and Quill probably knew her thoughts, so he wanted to buy her flight tickets.

But she still had a restaurant, and her parents would be busy helping out. She couldn't be so selfish and leave her parents for Quill, so Vera refused.

The business in her restaurant was booming. Lately, Vera was so busy that she would fall asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. She and Quill texted less and less.

"Well?" Minerva laughed as she glanced at Vera. "Then why do you seem unhappy?"

Vera shook her head. "I'm not unhappy. I'm just..."

"Just what?"

"I don't know how to explain it..." Everything was as usual between her and Quill. But she lacked self-confidence, and she was afraid that he would leave her one day.

It wasn't easy for them to be together, and Quill was already very good to her, so she thought she shouldn't ask for more.

If she had expressed her feelings, people would say she was thinking too much.

Vera took Minerva's arm and said, "Alright, no more questions. I'll deal with it myself. You just need to take good care of your Jelly Bean."

Minerva looked at her helplessly and said, "Now that you two are now together, you have to communicate with each other. If you keep everything in your heart, over time, it will affect your relationship." Vera understood what Minerva meant. She nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry; I value this relationship very much. I will cherish it," she answered.

Minerva knew that she valued it greatly. That was why she was a little worried that she would drive herself to a dead end. After all, she didn't know Quill very well, so she didn't know what he would do. Geoffrey specially flew back for Jelly Bean's one-month celebration. He stretched out his hands and said, "Wow, Jelly Bean, come and let your godfather hug you."

Geoffrey was about to hug Jelly Bean when someone kicked him.

"Ah!" There was a footprint on his pants. He glared at Maddox. "Sebastian, aren't we friends? Why can't I hug my goddaughter?"

Coldness filled Maddox's dark eyes. "Who is your goddaughter?" "Jelly Bean, of course!" Geoffrey pointed at Jelly Bean, who was in Maddox's arms. "I want to be her godfather!" Geoffrey said angrily. Maddox pursed his lips and sneered. "I won't agree."

"Like I care what you think. I have already told Minerva anyway; she will agree!"

"Is that so?"

"Sebastian! You can't just burn the bridge after crossing it. Think about who had always helped you when you were abroad. You had lost your memory and weren't treating

Minerva well. I was the one

Who

took care of her! Otherwise, would

you two end up like this?

Geoffrey was confident about this as he had indeed helped Minerva a lot back then.

Hearing his words, Maddox frowned slightly. Geoffrey was right. He had lost his memory at that time and couldn't take care of Minerva.

Seeing that Maddox was silent, Geoffrey said proudly, "So? You don't have anything to say, do you? Let me hold my goddaughter!"

As he finished speaking, Geoffrey walked toward Jelly Bean like a creep.

Surely he would be able to hold Jelly Bean this time. But who would've thought, just as he got close to her... Maddox kicked him again.

Geoffrey was flabbergasted. "What's with you?"

"I owe you a favor, but you can't be her godfather," Maddox said.

How could a man of a strong sense of possessiveness like Maddox give his child to someone else, let alone a buffoon like Geoffrey? If he became Jelly Bean's godfather, he might be a bad influence on her in the future.

"Why?" Geoffrey asked indignantly, "My family is well-off and reliable. I will have her back as her godfather. What's bad about it?"

Maddox glanced at him coldly. "Do you think Maddox Yardley's daughter and the granddaughter of the head of the Collins Corporation needs you to back her up?"

Geoffrey was rendered speechless.

He scratched his head; it made sense...

Her father was the president of the Yardley Corporation, her grandfather was the head of the Collins Corporation, and her uncle was the president of the Hanover Corporation. The Jules family's status was nothing in comparison.

However, Geoffrey wasn't one to

back down easily. He said shamelessly, "Jelly Bean has such solid background that it doesn't seem to be necessary. However... since she already has three backgrounds, why don't you add another one to the list?"

Laughing like a buffoon, Geoffrey got up to run toward Maddox and waved at Jelly Bean. "Little Cutie, don't you agree? Can I be your godfather?"

Maddox was getting annoyed. "Geoffrey Jules, you better..."

Jelly Bean giggled.

Before Maddox could finish his words, Jelly Bean, who was in his arms, suddenly giggled; her eyes were bright and happy as if she had found something interesting. Geoffrey immediately grabbed the opportunity and said, "Look, Sebastian. Jelly Bean agreed!"

Hearing that, Maddox glanced at him coldly and asked, "When had she agreed?"

"She laughed as soon as I finished talking. Doesn't that mean she has agreed! Obviously, she's very happy," Geoffrey replied.

Actually, how could a child

understand? Geoffrey just made use

of this situation to achieve his

purpose. Besides, she was too cute.

ov

Beanie had grown up, and he was shrewd. He couldn't be his

godfather, but he could at least be Jelly Bean's godfather.
