Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 545

"Mommy?"

Beanie's face under the mask frowned when he noticed that Minerva's face was as pale as a ghost's. He was a little unhappy.

Beanie initially wanted to probe Minerva, but he didn't expect her to be so resistant.

Alas.

Beanie stretched out his little hand and waved it in front of Minerva in an attempt to get her attention.

However, Minerva seemed to have sunk into her own thoughts and was unable to get out of it.

If that was the case....

Beanie suddenly thought of something. He did not dare to probe Minerva again. All he could do was quickly extend his hand and hug her neck tightly. The outcome was just as he had guessed when he made contact with her. Her neck was icy cold and she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Mommy!" Beanie nudged Minerva with all his might. Yet, she did not react at all.

Beanie was almost scared to death when he saw her like this. He almost cried out, "Mommy! Why won't you pay attention to me!" All of a sudden, the boy broke out into tears. Minerva came back to her senses. She lowered her head and saw him hugging her neck. His eyes were red from crying. She suddenly realized what had just happened...

"Beanie."

As if she had just survived a disaster, Minerva called out his name in a somewhat dull voice.

"I'm here. Don't scare me, okay?" Beanie responded to Minerva while taking off the cartoon mask on his face. After that, he stuck his warm cheek against Minerva's face and transmitted his warmth to her. After Minerva came back to her senses, she slowly returned to normal. Beanie was in good health, thus at this time, his body warmth was constantly radiating through his clothes.

This feeling... was as if someone had pulled her out of the darkness.

"It's a ransom, isn't it?" Minerva responded by hugging Beanie with all her strength, as if she was talking to herself.

"Beanie, no matter what happens, you will always be my darling."

"Yes." Beanie nodded hard. "I will always be your darling. Don't be sad..."

He was very considerate and didn't ask much. Minerva also knew that this child was more considerate than his peers. She didn't say anything unnecessary to him either. She just patted his head and asked, "I'm sorry... Did I scare you again just now?"

Beanie shook his head and said, "Mommy, don't be sad. I will always be with you."

"Really?" Minerva looked at Beanie with tears in her eyes. "Beanie, what if... One day, someone wants you, causing you to leave me?"

The expression on Beanie's face suddenly became serious. "That will never happen."

"I know, but what if..."

Beanie took her hand and spread her palm on his cheek. Then, he gently rubbed against her warm palm. "Such a day will never come. I will always belong to you alone. Mommy, don't worry, okay?" "Alright." Minerva forced her tears back. She crouched down on the spot for a long time before coming back to her senses. She then handed the mask to Beanie, "Put this on first. Go back to the room and wait for me there. I will go and see how your Auntie Vera is doing."

"Aunt Vera?"

"She went to socialize with your uncle. She must have drunk a lot of wine, thus I have to go and check on her."

"Okay." Beanie seemed to be lost in thought. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "You've been wanting to bring Uncle Quill and Auntie Vera back together again, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva was taken aback for a moment. Then, she quickly figured out what Beanie meant.

"Uncle is already so old and it's sad that he doesn't have a wife. Mommy, why don't... we go home first? Hehe, I want to sleep with you tonight!"

Minerva went speechless.

In the end, she helplessly reached out and pinched Beanie's nose. "What a little devil. You can't let your uncle hear such words in the future. If he hears that you said he's so old, he'll definitely be angry with you."

"Humph, but you often say that Uncle is old too."

"I don't say that all the time, do I? It's all because your uncle wanted to introduce a man to me. I really didn't have any other choice, so I retorted him in that manner."

As they chatted, unknowingly, Minerva's sorrow and shock had been completely dispelled by Beanie. At that time, she felt warm in her heart. Perhaps because of Beanie's promise, she felt that she had nothing to be afraid of.

She got up, took Beanie's hand and then headed back. "Let's pack up first and then we'll go home."

"Yes!" Beanie nodded hard. As he was holding Minerva's hand, he had to tiptoe when he walked, which looked very cute. He asked curiously, "Why are you not willing to go on a blind date?"

At the mention of this matter, the smile on Minerva's face faded a little.

"These are adults' matters. You are so young. Why do you have such a strong desire for gossip? You won't be an entertainment reporter when you grow up, will you?"

Beanie was silent.

He gave Minerva a somewhat irritated look and pouted, "You don't care about me at all. I clearly said that I'll make contributions to the country when I grow up."

"Oh." Minerva thought for a moment. "Entertainment reporters can make the public happy as well. Wouldn't it be considered as making contributions to the country as well?" After saying that, Minerva started to tease him and she laughed out loud.

"Mommy, you are so mean! I'm not going to pay attention to you anymore!" After that, Beanie shook off her hand and ran forward.

Minerva's face was full of smiles as she watched him run away. Her steps became a little faster, but at that moment, the smile on her face faded a little.

She hoped that such a day would never come.

She only had Beanie to rely on in her heart. If Beanie was going to be taken away, she would definitely break down.

While the banquet was still going on, Vera's mobile phone suddenly vibrated. Vera stopped toasting and Quill, who was next to her, also glanced at her.

"Please excuse me as I check the text." Vera's lips twitched awkwardly as she opened her bag. She took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a while before she looked up and informed, "Minerva said that she is tired, so she will be taking Beanie back to rest first."

When she said this, Vera blushed and she looked at Quill with embarrassment.

It was because the message contained something embarrassing.

As soon as she was done, Quill felt a vibration in his pocket.

He paused for a moment before taking out his phone and checking it. Like Vera, he had received the same message from Minerva.

Vera had already conveyed her message to him, saying that she was tired and would bring Beanie back to rest. After that, it was... A sentence that would make people's imagination go wild.

"Take good care of Vera. If she gets drunk, remember to send her back. Or there are many guest rooms in the Hanover family house, so you can let her rest there. I wish you luck, single man."
