The huge boulder in his heart seemed to come off his chest, but Beanie snorted lightly. He was the only one who could hear it. How could Mommy still speak for him?

Beanie was a little annoyed. He snorted and said, "Does he treat you well? If he is not treating you well, then I don't want this daddy." Upon hearing this, Maddox felt his heart jolt again. Feeling a headache coming on, he reached out and pinched his glabella.

This little boy...

Why did he have a feeling that he was purposely going against him?

But it made sense. If he was in Beanie's shoes, he would also not acknowledge the man who suddenly appeared as his daddy.

After all, in the past five years, he had not fulfilled his duty as a father. It was impossible for that little boy to believe that he was his daddy all of a sudden.

All of this... required time.

Thinking of this, Maddox gradually calmed down.

"It doesn't matter if you acknowledge him. He's still your daddy." Minerva sighed and said softly, "Is he beside you?"

Beanie pretended not to see Maddox and shook his head, "He's not here, Mommy."

"Then you listen to me," Minerva stared at her son with gentle eyes. She smiled and said softly, "No matter where he was in the past five years, now that he's here, he's your daddy. Even if you don't acknowledge him as your daddy, he's still your biological father. So... It doesn't matter if you choose to acknowledge him as your father or not. Moreover, in the past five years... I might have done something wrong, but I've already thought it through now. So, Beanie... Consider it for my sake and don't make things difficult for your daddy, okay?"

What was Minerva thinking about right now?

She could understand what Maddox was going through right now. If she was in his shoes, she would not be able to accept it either. Especially the last two questions, Maddox had his ears peeled.

It was also because of Benedict. Although he did not say so explicitly in front of Minerva, he hated him.

How could he not hate a home-wrecker like

Benedict?

Minerva knew what it was like to have a mistress break a family apart. Wasn't she and Jonatha in this sort of mess before?

In all fairness, she also hated herself.

As such, she could understand Maddox's feelings.

Beanie pursed his lips and said discontentedly, "Mommy, does he know that you are looking out for him?"

He intentionally said this to Maddox, who was standing in the corner. He touched his chin and felt his son's impression of him shatter.

That little boy hated him. Now that he brought Beanie back home, but not Minerva, Beanie must hate him even more.

Maddox pursed his thin lips and suddenly felt a little awkward.

On the other end, Minerva smiled faintly and said, "Okay, darling. Don't stick your nose into adult matters. I know what to do. Remember to ask your daddy to send you to school tomorrow. I'll send your school bag to school, alright?"

"Okay," Beanie nodded and was still very distressed about his mommy.

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Don't be dozing off in school tomorrow."

"Good night, Mommy. Love you."

Beanie kissed the screen before ending the video call.

After putting away the phone, Beanie nestled on the sofa and whispered, "Hmph, silly Mommy."

Standing outside, Maddox heard him and felt a pain in his heart. He did not go in. Instead, he arranged for a servant to take care of Beanie and he went back to his study room.

After entering the room, he wanted to call Sam.

However, when he was about to take his phone, he suddenly realized that his phone was still with Beanie. In desperation, Maddox could only take out his spare phone from the cabinet and dialed Sam's number.

All of a sudden, he thought of something and hung up the phone.

Wouldn't he be going back on his word if he chose to look into her now?

Thinking of this, Maddox put down his phone.

"Forget it."

The next day, Minerva woke up very early. She brushed her teeth and went downstairs to make breakfast.

When Vera went downstairs, she saw that Minerva was done with her breakfast. She was very surprised and asked, "Why are you up this early?"

Minerva looked up and smiled at her, "You call this early? It's almost time for work. Why don't you eat something?"

Only then did Vera sit down and eat.

After eating, Vera looked at Minerva as she headed upstairs. When she was about to wash her hands, she realized that Minerva had already packed up and was about to leave with Beanie's schoolbag in her hands.

"I have to head to the school first. You can take the bus to work later."

Vera suddenly looked depressed and said, "No way! It's been so long since we went to work together and you are not going to wait for me?"

Minerva replied helplessly, "Then can you put on your makeup and get ready in five minutes? Can you do that?"

Five minutes? Five minutes wasn't even enough for makeup alone. Vera shook her head and refused, "Forget it, I'll take the bus by myself. By the way... Are you doing okay today?" "Hmm? Why would I not be okay?"

Vera blinked her eyes and said, "You seem to be in a good mood."

"Should I not be in a good mood?"

To kind of think of it, Maddox took Beanie away the night before and she was left here. No matter how she thought of it, something was off.

Minerva actually got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and had everything under control. The more normal it was, the more she felt that something was wrong. "Enough. I'll be heading off."

Before she could react, Minerva left with Beanie's schoolbag.

After she left, Vera stretched out her hand and rubbed her head before she went upstairs again.

Minerva went to school slightly earlier. After dropping off Beanie's school bag, she went straight to work. Perhaps she was afraid, and she didn't want to meet Maddox and Beanie. Perhaps she didn't want history from the previous night to repeat itself again.

She did not have the courage to say anything to Maddox. She was weak. In their relationship, if Maddox said something doubtful, she might... not be able to hold on any longer. This relationship was like walking on thin ice.

Maddox got up early to send Beanie to school. After he sent Beanie off to school, the teacher carried his school bag for him. After talking to her colleague, the teacher was ready to go in when she saw Beanie coming over.

However, to her surprise, the man who brought Beanie to school looked exactly like him.

The teachers in the school had never seen Beanie's father, so they were very curious. However, because his uncle was a Hanover, they only dared to secretly gossip about it. Now, several teachers were taken aback when they saw Maddox.
