Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1038

Speaking of Minerva, Vera naturally thought of that person.

The light in her eyes suddenly dimmed a lot. She smiled faintly and said, "She is pregnant now. The baby is a little unstable. I don't want her to be running around. So it's best to wait until she gives birth. After that, I'll introduce her to you two."

"All right."

Thus, the matter was settled.

Vera initially thought that her parents would oppose the idea of her opening a restaurant. Before she came, she had come up with a lot of excuses just in case her parents rejected her idea. She did not expect the discussion to go so smoothly.

Vera had a checklist of things to do to open a restaurant. After discussing with her parents, she began to scout around her neighborhood for a suitable store. After scouting for two days, she still could not replace

one.

In the end, Mabie was the one who suggested a location to her.

"I bumped into my friends when I went to the park this morning. I told them that you were planning to open a restaurant and they happened to have some news. They told me that there was a shop on Southway that was very suitable for us, and we can check it out when we have the time."

"Southway?" Vera subconsciously scrunched up her nose. She was planning on purchasing the shop lot so that she would not have to worry about paying rent. Moreover, she would be able to live on the second floor.

Based on the amount of money she had in hand, she roughly knew she could afford a shop lot at a decent location. She did not want to set up a restaurant somewhere dodgy, but then again she could not afford anywhere too expensive.

At this moment, Vera was a little hesitant when her mother mentioned Southway.

It was because she knew that it was one of the busiest commercial streets in their area. Not only that, there were a lot of restaurants there as well. She knew that the shop owners would invest in those properties as a means to collect rental income. It was their long-term investment.

High rental, small shop, and fierce competition.

"What are you thinking about?" When Mabie saw that her daughter did not say a word, she continued, "I've asked around. Although the competition is fierce in Southway, it's a very strategic place to open a restaurant. Besides, what's there to be afraid of? Your cooking is excellent."

"But Mom..."

"As the saying goes, pure gold does not fear fire. Vivy, are you not confident in your cooking?"

Vera speechlessly rolled her eyes. How could she not have confidence in her own cooking? She was just thinking not only were the rents there high the competition would also be fierce. By then, she would be very busy once her aurant opens. Apart fro that, if she wanted to be able to compete with the ers, she would have to purchase more ingredients, and she would even have to change the price she

would be charging.

In short, Vera felt that she would have to put in a lot of effort but end up with a low return.

However, if she were to set up the restaurant in a less busy area, her workload would be less, but the money she earned would be even lesser.

Vera had thought it through. She did not want to open up her restaurant in such a busy area. She just wanted to open a small restaurant which was enough to support her and her parents. She never thought of making big bucks from her restaurant business.

However, Mabie did not know this. When she saw her daughter standing there in a daze, she simply took her arm and said, "Since it's not noon yet, let's go and check out the shop. If it's decent, then your father and I will support you financially."

Before Vera could say anything, she was pulled away by Mabie.

Time passed quickly. The matters in Minerva's company were finally settled. Maddox was worried that she would overwork, so he had specifically asked Sam to get someone to manage the company on her behalf so that she could go to the company whenever she liked or rest at home if she wanted.

Minerva did not object. After all, she knew that this pregnancy was unstable because she had encountered too many things whilst being pregnant. She had suffered a lot recently. Therefore, Minerva decided to listen to the doctor's advice. She felt that since she had the choice to stay at home and take care of her unborn child, she was going to do it. Unless there were specific occasions where she had to personally head over to the office.

As for Maddox, Minerva had no idea how he was doing. She was hoping to reunite with Beanie as soon as possible.

However, Minerva never brought up such selfish thoughts to Maddox.

After returning to the country, both of them had been busy with their respective companies. Furthermore, Maddox even took care of her company's matters on her behalf. Aside from the company's affairs, Maddox had suffered a lot both mentally and physically during the process of trying to recall his memory.

Therefore, at this time, Minerva did not want to mention anything about Beanie and Master Collins.

She would occasionally video call Beanie when she was at home.

"Mommy, Mommy, when are you coming over to get me and Great-grandpa?"

Like that day, Beanie suddenly asked Minerva this question while they were video calling on Facebook. His eyes were filled with expectation.

When Minerva saw that Beanie's

eyes were filled with expectation, she could not bear to disappoint him. She could only say softly, "A little while longer, Beanie. We'll bring you and your greatgrandfather over once everything is settled, okay?" Beanie originally wanted to ask more, but he suddenly saw the anxiousness in Minerva's eyes.

He swallowed the words he was about to say Alright then. I am not in a hurry to go back anyways. It's fun over here. Great-grandpa takes

me to

to a lot of places every day But you have to tell me earlier when you come and fetch me. There are still a lot of places I want to go.

He said excitedly, even his face was filled with expectation. As if he was really happy.

For a moment, Minerva could not tell whether Beanie was genuinely happy or not.

Then she thought about it and realized that children were not as complicated as adults. He was probably genuinely happy.

Perhaps, he really liked staying abroad?

"Beanie, if you have any grievances, just tell me. I will think of a way for you. I... I want you to rely on me. You don't need to put on a brave face, do you understand? As she said these words, Minerva gently caressed Beanie's cheeks through the screen.

However, Beanie could not feel it.

"Mommy, I don't feel aggrieved. Great-grandpa is the same as Mommy and Daddy. I know I will be able to be by your side soon."

He was still a child after all. Beanie felt a lump in his throat and as if something was in his eyes.

Coincidentally, someone called him.

He took the opportunity to say, "Mommy, I think Great-grandpa wants to take me out. I'm going to end the call now. I'll come back and send you a photo in the evening."

"Alright then. Be careful."

After that, Beanie ended the video call.

Beanie was sitting on the couch alone in the big room. He just stared at the phone silently. After a while, he curled himself up into a ball and buried his head in his knees for the first time. He felt incredibly sad and wanted to cry after ending the video call with his mother. However, he couldn't do that. His mother had suffered a lot while raising him as a single mother.

But she never complained once. She had never lost her temper at Beanie because of these hardships.
