Hearing this, Beanie looked at Maddox smugly.

"Did you hear that, Daddy? If you continue to bully me, Mommy will leave you!"

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Maddox's lips. This little rascal dared to threaten him? He explicitly slapped him the first time they met; it shocked him pretty good. After that, he used various ways to get his father into trouble. After Maddox knew Beanie was different from other children, he never treated him as one ever again.

He sneered and said, "Really? Your mommy is my woman, and I am your father; whatever I say, goes."

"Maddox!" Minerva yelled at him.

Maddox came back to his senses and glanced at her. Minerva looked at him upsettingly and said, "What are you saying in front of him? Nonsense. What are you trying to teach him?"

Hearing his mommy reprimanding his daddy, a smug look appeared on Beanie's face as he looked at Maddox.

"Also, what do you mean by whatever you say goes? Do my words not count?"

Maddox remained silent.

When it came to Minerva, Maddox no longer had the assertiveness he had with Beanie. His tone became as gentle as ever, "No, of course, everything you say goes in this house. I'm just in charge of taking good care of Jelly Bean."

Past Maddox would have never said or done such things.

He probably also didn't expect to be like that one day.

A husband who was obeisance to his wife and willingly be a caretaker to their children.

When the business circle heard about this, everyone took it as an anecdote. However, Maddox now shifted his focus to his family, so he wasn't bothered at all.

If there weren't important meetings, he wouldn't go to the company. The senior shareholders of the company all complimented Minerva, saying she had some skills up her sleeves.

In truth, when Maddox didn't have anyone by his side in the past, he would only ever put on a straight face. Every meeting they had would be incredibly solemn, and everyone would be on edge. They were afraid that they would enrage this high-powered figure if they said anything wrong or missed a detail.

When Beanie saw how his daddy had become, he couldn't help but snicker as he covered his mouth.

"Having a wife sure is scary. Everything she says goes. There's no way I'm getting a wife when I grow up. It's better to live alone."

Beanie thought.

Olivia went to Sam's place early in the morning. She arrived just before Sam was about to leave. Sam expressionlessly gave her a set of keys.

Olivia took the keys over and shook them in front of him. She then asked him teasingly, "Say, we've only met a few es, and we barely know each oth yet you trust me with your keys? Aren't you afraid that I'll empty your house?"

Hearing that, Sam glanced at her and said, "If you can, do it."

Olivia disregarded him and said, "I'm not that kind of person. Besides, I'm well known, alright? Although I'm not a celebrity, I still have dignity. If I do you wrong, you can totally post about it online. Also, you know where I live; there's nowhere for me to run. So, don't worry."

"I still have to go to work. I'm leaving."

After Sam left, Olivia went in and took a tour. It was then she understood what Sam meant.

His house was so empty even thieves wouldn't try and rob him!

Thinking about this, Olivia took out her phone and called Sam angrily!

Sam only answered the call after it rang for some time.

"What's the meaning of this?" Olivia questioned him angrily the moment the call connected.

Sam was driving at that time. He couldn't help but furrowed his brows when he heard her, "What's going on?"

"What are you trying to do?! I'm here to cook for you; is this how you should treat me?"

Sam really didn't understand where she was going with it. His brows knitted even tighter, "Make it clear."

"Sam Sorrento! Stop pretending! All you have is a saucepan and nothing else. No, and a fridge. But it's empty as well! How am I supposed to cook for you when I have nothing to work with? Are you trying to give me a hard time?"

Sam paused for a moment and said, "This is how I usually live. Just prepare something simple."

"Prepare something simple?" Olivia

looked at the empty kitchen. She really didn't know what to say. She then thought about something and asked him in an unbelieving tone, "Don't tell me you cook like this all the time?" "Mm," Sam mumbled.

Seeing that he admitted, Olivia really didn't know what else to say. She fell silent for some time.

After a while, Sam explained to her, "I'm usually busy. I don't eat at home often."

Olivia initially thought he was pranking her but she realized this man did not care about what he after listening to his explanation. She had a gist of how he lived his life. She said with frustration "Alright, I got it. I'll figure it out. I'm hanging up."

After she hung up the phone, Olivia put her hands on her hips and stared at the kitchen.

To her, a kitchen like this could only be described with one word. Shabby!

He was not poor. How could he only have a saucepan and a fridge?

Did he usually throw everything into the saucepan and hope that it would cook?!

Olivia didn't know her unintentional guess was right. All she knew was that she couldn't stand a kitchen like this. She felt as if she was about to explode at the thought of coming over here to cook for him every day.

As a result...

Two minutes later, Olivia took her keys and went out the door.

Later, Tiana called her out for shopping. She said a mall was doing a campaign recently, many of the items were on sale, and there were even complimentary gifts available.

Olivia had just finished buying a bread-maker, a microwave, a mini-oven, and a toaster; she was still grieving over the money she had just splurged. She didn't expect Tiana to call her out to spend more money Olivia refused immediately without even thinking.

"I won't go!"

Tiana was stumped, "What's the matter with you? Aren't you usually happy about this? You would've said yes by now, no?"

Olivia looked at her balance and said firmly, "No way. I'm about to go broke. I need to keep an eye on my spending. I cannot spend any more."
