Vera had a dream that night.
She dreamed that she was in a relationship with Quill. In her dream, he was very gentle. He would wipe her tears away, coax her with a tender voice, and he would even kiss her.
Although it was just a dream, Vera felt that it was too surreal. She struggled all night, wishing she could stay in that dream longer. She wished that she could stay in this dream forever. But the more she struggled, the quicker she woke up from it.
After a while, Vera realized she was wide awake. She opened her eyes and saw daylight outside her window; her pillow was drenched in tears.
Vera was a little confused and wondered if she had cried all night? Last night, she dreamed that she was with Quill. She felt blissful but it was too surreal. She wanted to prove that it wasn't a dream but she couldn't bear to ruin it. As she was struggling within, she woke up. Sure enough, she could only get what she wanted in her dream.
However, life went on.
At the thought of it, Vera raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes. She got up and changed her pillow cover that was wetted by tears. Then, she went into the bathroom to freshen up. After changing clothes, she went downstairs to make breakfast.
As soon as Vera finished her breakfast, she went downstairs straight. The warmth from the sunshine covered her face and body as she stood there and enjoyed it for a little while.

Four months later.
Vera's business becmore and more popular. She only hired two workers in the beginning, and now she had hired two more to help out due to the good business. David had resigned from his job and would occasionally help out at the restaurant along with Mabie. During their free time, they would stay at hand sometimes they would go shopping or line dance with their friends.
The people around were all envious of Mabie. They would compliment her for having a daughter who knew how to run a business and that Mabie could retire and enjoy her life years earlier. On the other hand, they were sorry to hear that Vera was not married yet and they would ask Mabie to urge Vera.
Minerva's belly had bechuge. She went from barely having any appetite to having a huge appetite. Minerva had gained quite sweight, and her body was bloated all over. The baby in her tummy would make her uncomfortable by kicking her all the time. The pregnancy was giving her a hard time.
When Maddox saw his wife's condition, he did not even want to deal with the company's matters anymore. He would let Sam handle everything and go hto accompany his wife.
Sometimes, when he noticed the baby giving Minerva a hard time, Maddox would say in a faint voice.
"If we didn't know it was a baby girl, I would beat this kid up after you give birth to her for torturing you now." Upon hearing this, Minerva glared at him. "Nonsense! Even if it isn't a girl, it's still your son. How could you bear to hit him?" Maddox looked deeply at her and hugged her. He then kissed her forehead tenderly.
"After this pregnancy, let's not have any more kids." Minerva was stunned. No more children? She thought Maddox would ask her to give birth to a few more children, but he...
"Two is enough. I don't want to wear you out." In actuality, Minerva was not against giving birth to children. However, she felt that having two children was enough, so she nodded in agreement. "Okay, no more children after this." The pasta restaurant was packed with people.
But, there was a special guest among the crowd that day.
This person was none other than Ernest, the person who had rented the space to Vera.
Vera was still a little surprised when he came, and then she laughed and brought him to the private room on the second floor.
There was only one private room there; Ernest and his wife built it especially. They kept it for personal use, and it was not open for any guests.
"Don't worry. I know this private room is special to you and your wife. Since the day I opened this restaurant, I've never let any guests in here, and we clean it every day. When Ernest walked into the private room, he noticed that it was spotless, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent; it felt refreshing.
Ernest then noticed a few plants and fresh flowers by the window.
"Not bad." Ernest's lips curled up, and he looked at Vera deeply and thought, "Someone has a good eye. Vera sure is very thoughtful and attentive to details." "What if there are guests who insist on dining in this private room? What would you do? Would you go against them just to keep this room private?" "They probably won't. We do have a crowd every day, but they are mostly understanding people. Moreover, I would let them know that it's for private use only. If they still insist, then I have nothing to say He understood what she meant. Even if she had to offend a guest, she wouldn't open up the private room for public use.
"It seems that I really rented this place to the right person this time." Ernest said.

"You sure are smart." "Well, have a seat first. I'll be right back." Vera turned around, went downstairs, and personally made his order for him.
Ernest looked at the surrounding environment, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
"Are you seeing this? Your wish ctrue, and she kept your private room well." He said very quietly as if he was talking to himself.
In the kitchen, Mabie leaned close to Vera and asked quietly, "Mr. Lowell is here? Is he here to inspect us? I heard that..."
"Mom, he just cto have something to eat. Don't overthink." She was quick and agile soon, she finished preparing a bowl of pasta and personally sent it up. Several employees started gossiping as they watched Vera. "Why is Vera so efficient all of a sudden? What is her relationship with that man upstairs?" "Yeah, when I was sending food upstairs earlier, I saw that Vera brought him into the private room. Does it mean that we will have a male boss soon?" "I think it's about ttoo. That man looks very handsome. Vera is such a lucky lady!"
When Mabie heard these words, she couldn't help but frown. The employees might not was the one who accompanied Vera to see Ernest, and she knew that we know it, But she Ernest was deeply committed to his wife. Although his wife had passed away, it was obvious that Ernest had no interest in remarrying. How could it be possible that Ernest was having a relationship with her daughter? "Stop making assumptions blindly." Mabie leaned forward with her
hands folded in front of her. "Not only are you guys not working hard, but you're gossiping about this foolishly.
Why must there always be Meena something going on between a man and a woman? Mr Lowell is a married man, and he is the original boss who rented this space to Vera. The private room upstairs used to be his late wife's favorite private space, so we kept it for him. My daughter rented this restaurant through her talented skills. Mr. Lowell is only here to have spasta and pay tribute to his wife. But you are all making unhealthy assumptions about it; do you wantto make a fuss?" Mabie intended to make the truth clear to everyone so they didn't make assumptions or spread rumors because it would be disrespectful to Ernest and his¶ate wife. Moreover, it would ruin her daughter's reputation.
