However, his lousy uncle wasn't good at relationships, and had even broken Auntie Vera's heart. On the other hand, Sam was often busy assisting Maddox with the company's affairs, and would be going

overseas soon.

Therefore, she would be alone during this time, and it would be easy for others to hit on her!

Thus, Beanie needed to take up the responsibility of making sure no other guys could take advantage of her.

Vera had already noticed Beanie before he could speak, and she made her way to him slowly.

She had been reluctant to approach them when she noticed that Sheridan was there. After all, she didn't even have the slightest hint of affection towards him, despite having spent the past two days with him. She had wanted to head back into the kitchen after serving the food, before seeing a small figure standing in front of Sheridan.

Wasn't that Beanie?

She felt a little guilty when she noticed Beanie standing next to her date. She then walked over.

"Beanie, what are you doing?"

Vera called his name, and waved to him from afar.

Disappointment flashed across his eyes. Why did Auntie Vera come now? It would have been better if she had come a little later.

However, he couldn't address her as his mom in front of her, because it would make her feel embarrassed and awkward. He then reluctantly walked over, and called her 'Auntie Vera'.

Sheridan had heard it, loud and clear. They didn't look like mother and son at all when they stood next to each other. He let out a sigh of relief.

This kid was too mischievous. How could he have lied to him? Luckily, he had seen through his act.

"Hey, why are you here today? How's your mommy been, recently? If I remember correctly, she should be going into labor soon, right?" Vera asked.

Beanie nodded and said, "Well, it's because Mommy is going into labor soon that Daddy has no time to care about me, so I came to look for you alone."

After that, he realized something, and looked at Sheridan. "Auntie Vera, who is this? He wanted to treat me to some pasta because he thought I was a customer. He even said that he owns this restaurant." Sheridan's smile froze when he heard those words. He hadn't expected him to say that. Even Vera was stunned after she'd heard what Beanie said, or rather, what Sheridan had said.

Either way, he could only speak up to defend himself.

"It's not what you think. I saw that he was alone, so I offered to treat him to a plate of pasta, but I guess the kid was worried that I didn't really want to treat him, so he asked if the restaurant was mine. I had no choice but to say yes to calm him down."

Beanie blinked and clicked his tongue in annoyance. He didn't expect this man to be so quick on his feet.

Vera understood what was happening.

"I see. I apologize. Beanie is my best friend's son. She's about to go into labor, so he sometimes comes to the restaurant when he gets bored. He didn't say anything bad, did he?" Beanie blinked and said, "Auntie Vera, I didn't. I didn't tell him about you and Uncle. I... uh."

Before he could finish his words, Vera put her hand over his mouth. She smiled at Sheridan in embarrassment and said, "I'll take him in first. Help yourself."

She then dragged him into the kitchen.

"Watch your mouth!" She began to lecture him after they got inside.

He was so furious that he crossed his arms and huffed, "Auntie Vera, do you like him? Are you going to date him? Why didn't you let me tell him about you and Uncle Quill?"

"Of course, I don't like him that way." She paused before answering Beanie's question, "But he is my date now and it would be weird if you told him. Also, your uncle and I will never be together, ever. I can never be your aunt. You are not allowed to mention your uncle in front of me again."

They were never going to be together, ever?

"Why, Auntie Vera?"

"No reason. Stop asking so many questions, Beanie. Anyway, you are not allowed to bring it up again, and you are not allowed to mention anything about me in front of your uncle. If... If you bring it up again, I won't talk to you anymore."

He pouted. "Hmph."

"Did I make myself clear?"

He remained silent.

"Well? Hurry up and promise me. If you don't agree, I'll call your mommy now and ask her to send a driver to pick you up."

He nodded reluctantly.

"Okay Auntie Vera. I won't bring it up anymore."

However, later, he sent Quill a text message.

Quill was at work when he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He took it out to have a quick look and saw a message from Beanie.

He frowned slightly as he read the message.

"You lousy uncle, I won't talk to you anymore. You're so bad! You are worse than Daddy!"

Quill held his cell phone in confusion. What had he done to make Beanie think that he was worse than Maddox?

Obviously, Maddox was objectively the worst.

He then simply replied with a question mark.

Beanie waited for a long time for Quill's reply. He got angrier when he saw that he had only replied with a question mark.

Quill, on the other hand, seemed to have understood what had just happened.

Beanie would not have gotten angry, or hated him for no good reason. If such a thing happened, it probably had something to do with that woman.

Kon

Now...

Quill had a headache. He pursed his thin lips slightly, wanting to type something on his phone, but he didn't know what to ask.

She hadn't been around lately. It was

had gone to see her that day.

He was never the type to force others against their will.

If that was what she wanted, then he would let her be.

It wasn't that hard for him to make things difficult for himself.

"Uncle, do you really like Auntie Vera?"

As he was thinking, Beanie had sent another text message.

That was a

Quill to answer. He didn

started typing on his phone.

"What is going on?"

"You answer my question first, or I won't tell you."

Beanie didn't receive a reply.

"You horrible uncle, if you insist on not answering, Auntie Vera will fall in love with someone else!"

Fall in love with someone else? Quill's pupils shrank. As far as he knew, Sam was the only one who was close to Vera.

Was it Sam?

"Uncle???"

Looking at the words, Quill really didn't know what to say.

They had been getting along well before that. Was she offended by his abruptness?

"Ah! You terrible uncle! Auntie Vera was on a date. She is probably going to get married soon!"

Married?

Quill squinted as he read the text message, the pen in his hand dropping to the ground with a loud thud.

Beanie put away his mobile phone and chuckled to himself after sending those messages.

He didn't manage to keep the promise he made to Auntie Vera, but extraordinary measures were needed for extraordinary times.
