Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1207

Now that Master Collins had the upper hand, he had to show off.

Other than those who Master Collins invited on purpose, other family friends attended as well.

One of them was the Dormer family.

Two members of the Dormer family came. They were Master Dormer and Zaydon.

Minerva bumped into Zaydon when Maddox left to change Jelly Bean's diaper.

They were taken aback the moment they met.

As Minerva had witnessed Monica's crazy behaviors. It was as if she was mentally ill. On the other hand, Zaydon... was still reasonable.

However, Minerva wasn't particularly fond of Zaydon either, so she only smiled faintly at him.

On the contrary, Zaydon seemed to have let bygones be bygones. He quickly walked to her with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Mrs. Yardley."

Minerva was stunned for a moment. She nodded at him. "Mr. Dormer."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

It was an awkward conversation. Just as Minerva was about to find an excuse to leave, Zaydon suddenly said, "What my sister did back then was absolutely absurd. I would like to apologize to you on her behalf."

Zaydon's seriousness and sincerity made Minerva feel somewhat embarrassed. Since he had humbled himself, wouldn't she seem petty if she held a grudge?

After all, it was all in the past.

With that thought, she said, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to bear her responsibility."

Zaydon studied her for a moment and shook his head.

"She's my sister. As her older brother, I'm also responsible for how she had turned out, so I'm truly sorry. I hope you can understand that she was young and ignorant and forgive her actions in the past."

Young and ignorant?

A hint of suspicion flashed across Minerva's eyes, and she said with a faint smile, "If I remember correctly, your sister is about the same age as me. At most, she is only one or two years younger. I'm not her elder, so I can't accept the excuse that she was young and ignorant."

Hearing that, Zaydon frowned slightly.

It meant that she wouldn't forgive her, had she?

But almost immediately, Zaydon realized he had said something wrong as he noticed Minerva's attitude suddenly turned cold.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong to comment from a brother's perspective. But I don't think Monica wanted to do this. She isn't mentally well. She is monitored by doctors every day, and she isn't allowed to go out."

The more he talked, the more Minerva frowned. She became even unhappier.

He had indeed come to ask Minerva for forgiveness. Then, he couldn't help but explain his sister's situation to her with the hope that she would forgive her in that light.

Even if his sister had gone too far, she was still his sister, after all. He just didn't expect that Minerva would get annoyed.

Zaydon was a person who understood boundaries, but he was too eager to protect his sister. Everyone in the Dormer family naturally wouldn't think there was anything wrong with that; they would even praise him for being a good brother.

But to Minerva, that wasn't the case.

Minerva had gone to see how Maddox was doing with Jelly Bean. However, she unexpectedly bumped into Quill and Vera on her way.

They were bound to attend Jelly Bean's one-month celebration.

Vera was standing there eating cake while Quill stood by her side and looked at her helplessly. He patted her head and whispered, "It's sweet. If I remember correctly, you've eaten a lot of sweet food recently, haven't you?"

Hearing his words, Vera blinked. "I didn't eat... that much."

"Put it down. Don't eat anymore."

Besides weight gain, there wasn't any other benefit to eating sweet food. It was best to eat less.

Seeing that she was reluctant to let go, Quill took the cake out of her hand.

In an instant, she looked up at him pitifully.

"This is Jelly Bean's one- month celebration. Let me have some. I promise that I won't have any more after today."
