"Do you like him?"

Mabie asked in surprise.

Vera gave her a weird look. She shook her head and then explained, "I haven't known him for long. Isn't it too soon to say whether I like him or not?"

"You're right. You'd better continue observing him first. I feel that there's something fishy about Sheridan."

"Hmm?" Vera was slightly shocked. She didn't expect that Mabie's thoughts would be so close to hers. She did think that there was something strange about Sheridan, but she couldn't put her finger on it. What could be wrong with such a fine man?

She thought she'd been judging him negatively.

However, when she heard that Mabie's thoughts were the same as hers, it made her curious. Why did her mother think so? Was it because they were mother and daughter, so they thought in the same way? "Mom, why do you think there is something wrong with him?"

Mabie sighed heavily. "Don't mind my pettiness.

You are my daughter, so naturally I hope for the best for you. Sheridan seems pretty nice, almost too good to be true. Think about it, why does such a perfect person not have a girlfriend? Was there nobody that was willing to date him? Has he always been waiting for someone to introduce a girlfriend to him, and then simply get married? In this era, that is rather odd. Therefore, I guessed that there might be something about him that we don't know. However, to know what exactly it is, we'll have to wait for him to reveal it himself."

Vera felt that what her mother said made a lot of sense, and it was exactly what she thought as well.

"Actually I thought the same, but... It didn't seem like there was anything wrong with him. He must have been too busy with work."

It was never a good thing to mindlessly criticize others.

Mabie nodded in agreement.

"He was probably really occupied with work. Maybe he doesn't have many female friends, or maybe all those female friends are married, so he could only choose to go on a blind date?"

They didn't continue with the conversation. Before heading back to their rooms, Mabie told Vera to try getting to know him better for a while more. If she still didn't like him in the end, then she could just leave things be.

When Beanie came to the pasta restaurant, he noticed an unfamiliar man with Vera, chatting happily together.

The little boy had probably inherited Maddox's intuition.

Therefore, Beanie, who seemed domineering yet suspicious, stood out to him despite his young age.

When Sheridan walked out, he was a little surprised to see such a handsome child at the restaurant. He thought it was the son of a customer, so he came forward to greet him. "Hello, kid. Are you here to have pasta?"

He had a gentle smile on his face, which made him look especially amiable.

However, his behavior made Beanie dislike him even more, especially when he called him 'kid'.

Despite this, he had always been a very polite child, so he would not let others see the dark side of him. Sheridan showed him a gentle smile, and he returned an innocent one. "Nice to meet you, sir."

Sheridan was surprised to replace that the child also had a lovely voice. Besides, he was so goodlooking that he could tell from the child's handsome appearance that his parents must be very good-looking. Therefore, he curiously looked for his parents in the restaurant.

When Beanie saw what he was doing, he asked in a childish voice, "What are you looking for, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Sheridan smiled and replied.

"I'm looking for your parents. Did you come here with your father or your mother?"

Beanie blinked.

He replied, "I came with my mom."

"Kid, where is your mother?"

"Sir, why are you looking for my mother?"

Sheridan was stunned by this question. He had thought that the little boy would simply answer him and point towards her direction, and he could take him to her. He did not expect that the boy would ask him what he wanted to see his mother for.

Hence, he could only explain softly, "I will take you to your mother."

"Why do I have to go to my mother? Can't I sit here?" Beanie asked.

Sheridan felt that this child might be a little stubborn, and could only nod his head in the end.

"Yes, of course, you can. Do you want to eat pasta? I'll treat you?"

"Can I?" Beanie tilted his head and said innocently, "You said you would treat me to pasta. Do you own this place?"

"Yes." Sheridan saw how cute he was and wanted to reach out to touch his head, but the child took a step back to avoid him before he even laid a finger on him. Beanie immediately hated him.

Bah! He had no relationship with Auntie Vera, but had lied that the pasta restaurant belonged to him. Obviously, he had ill intentions.

However, Sheridan did not know what Beanie was thinking. He said, "What's wrong? How about I treat you to some pasta? Let's go to the second floor?" Beanie was about to answer when he saw a familiar figure. He immediately said sweetly to Sheridan, "My mommy is here."

"Eh? Your mommy is here? Where is she?"

When Beanie pointed at her,

Sheridan followed the direction he

was pointing at, and saw Vera coming over. At first, he didn't understand and turned back to ask,

"Where is your mommy? I don't see her."

"She's the one over there, in the yellow hoodie!"

Sheridan didn't react, but in the next second, his expression changed, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.

"What? What did you say? Your mom is the one in the yellow hoodie? Kid, are you sure?"

"There's no mistake," Beanie tilted his head and said with a smile.

Sheridan shut up.

After that, Beanie saw the blood in the man's face gradually disappear. Then, he turned pale as if he had been greatly insulted, and his lips kept trembling. "Sir, what's wrong with you?" Beanie asked curiously.

Sheridan was very angry, but Beanie's handsome face suddenly reminded him that the child was so handsome that his parents had to be very goodlooking. He couldn't be Vera's child.

Furthermore, no one had said that she'd had a child before they'd met.

As he thought this, he gradually calmed down.

"Kid, why don't we ask her, since you said she's your mom?"

Beanie went quiet.

He didn't expect that Sheridan would call him out so quickly. He thought that he could've sent the man in front of him away without any effort. Humph!

How dare he try to snatch Auntie Vera away from him! Dream on!

Besides his uncle and Sam, Beanie felt that no other man could be worthy of his great Auntie Vera!
