"You... You're going to stay with me?"

Beanie blinked his eyes innocently and said, "Can I, Auntie Vera?"

He had already told his great-grandfather, Jarold, that he would spend some time with Auntie Vera first, and then go back to spend some time with him.

As for Jarold, he hadn't returned to the country for a long time. He had his daughter, Abigail, to keep him company.

Although he didn't have Beanie accompanying him, he still had Abigail. Although she was still fierce and didn't have a good attitude towards him, her companionship was enough to make him satisfied. "Of course, you can stay here as long as you want."

After that, Vera carried the luggage for Beanie, and then went upstairs with him.

Then she once again ran into Amelia next door who was so idle that she had nothing to do.

"Hey Vera, your friend's son is looking for you again?"

She nodded and smiled faintly, "Amelia."

"Hello, Madam Amelia."

Amelia looked at Beanie from head to toe. Finally, she moved her gaze to the small luggage bag in Vera's hand.

"This is?"

She hid the suitcase behind her back and said with a fake smile, "It's just a few things. Amelia, Maria is still waiting for you downstairs. Aren't you going to dance with her?"

Amelia noticed that Vera didn't intend to tell her anything. She muttered a few words and then left.

When Beanie came in, he was a little apprehensive.

"Auntie Vera, will Madam Amelia speak ill of you?" "What kind of bad things can she say about me?" Amelia couldn't just spread some false rumors and claim that it's the truth when it was a lie, could she? Moreover, Vera wasn't the kind of person who would care about what others thought about her. If she really cared about others' impressions of her, she wouldn't have become good friends with Minerva when everyone in the company was averse to her presence.

Beanie stood still and stretched out his two index fingers and pointed them at each other, then whispered, "Auntie Vera, maybe... I'd better go

back?"

Vera heard him, then paused and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think I care about what others say? You can stay here, and others can say whatever they want. I don't care about it, so there's no reason for you to worry about it."

After that, she brought him to the bathroom and then took his clothes for him.

"Alright, go take a bath, and then don't go to the hospital with me after dinner. Stay at home, watch TV for a while, and then go to sleep."

He was speechless at all these arrangements made in advance for him.

He didn't want to watch TV, nor did he want to go to bed so early.

Evil news rides fast, while good news baits later.

She didn't know if it was because of jealousy or something else.

The news that Vera took a child home spread through the whole city quickly.

Her parents had been living in this area for a long time, and most of the people who lived in this area had also been here since then, so most of them were old acquaintances.

Despite the fact that they were not on good terms, they would still smile and greet each other whenever they met. Then, they would begin to show themselves off, and continue to compete with each other. After that, they would then return to their homes with a fake smile on their faces.

After getting to know each other for a long time, everyone naturally knew the details of other families such as the number of children they had, where

ere their children were working, and so on. How their children were doing, be it good or bad, would also

be the subject of their gossip.

FAVOURITE GAMES ON

Those who were doing well would be praised and those who were doing bad would be scorned.

This was always the topic for their gossip in the afternoon.

Therefore, the news that Vera brought a child home had spread really quickly. When the news had been spreading for a while, it turned out to be like this.

She had been abroad for five years, but she had been abandoned by her lover. Now, she came back from abroad in disgrace and brought back a burden with her.

When Mabie told the news to her, Vera was extremely confused.

Abandoned? Brought back a burden?

Young Master Yardley would be furious when he heard this. Furthermore, when Jarold heard about this, he would probably stomp his foot on the ground in anger until the entire North City would be shaken at least thrice.

His precious great-grandson was being called a burden.

Even Vera wanted to laugh after hearing this and also wanted to hit that person who distorted the facts.

"Initially, Amelia said she wanted to introduce someone to you, but now she saw that you brought a child home, she didn't dare to do it anymore. She said that she was afraid that you would be rejected." Mabie didn't know Vera's feelings at all, and she was still adding fuel to the fire.

"Mom! Beanie is not a burden, you know!"

Mabie nodded and said, "I know, I

know, but nobody else does. You brought a child home with you. Those who know you will surely doubt that this cute and delicate child was given birth by you. Even myself as your mother, I would also be doubtful that you can give birth to such a child."

Vera was speechless

She really had no words to describe her emotions at that moment.

"I believe in you, but others don't. Moreover, those people don't even care whether Beanie is your son or not, or what the truth is. They only care that you have brought someone home." Hearing this, Vera was silent for a while.

Yeah, those people did not care

about what the truth was. Even if she was to tell them the truth, they would not believe it anyway. They would only believe what they wanted to believe. They would then coax themselves by saying that he was Vera's child, and then tell others that she brought a burden back home.

Thinking of this, she felt exhausted.

She had expected that everyone would gossip about it, but she didn't expect it to be so absurd.

"What are you going to do now? Do you still want him to stay here?"

"Mom, what do you mean by this? Beanie is just a child. He doesn't understand anything. If I send him back because of this gossip, wouldn't it hurt his feelings?"

Mabie pressed her lips and nodded in agreement. "I also believe that justice and truth will prevail. Why don't we just ignore them and let those people talk nonsense?"

"Mom, don't you mind?" "Why should I mind? Anyway, you are not in a hurry to get married, so why should I be? Now that the news has already spread all over the place, do you think I can undo it?" What Mabie said seemed to be true. Although those rumors were not very pleasant, they could save a lot of trouble for Vera too.

If everyone thought that Beanie was her child and thought that she brought back a burden, those matchmakers who wanted to propose a marriage for her would probably give up too, and she would be relieved.

Thinking of this, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Sure, let them gossip. I don't care."

Mabie was surprised and said, "I brought up this matter with your father two days ago that you might not be able to get married for the rest of your life. Now, it seems like there's really such a possibility." Vera was speechless for a short moment. Then she replied, "Either way, I am able to support myself. Marriage isn't a path that one must choose in life anyway."
