Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 727

Thus, Beanie was left at home. This news had been spreading like wildfire in the country recently and nobody knew if he was aware of this.

Quill could only hope that he didn't know anything about this.

Therefore, when Beanie came chasing after him, he wanted to lie to him saying that his parents went for their honeymoon after their wedding and it would take some time before they would return. He felt that it was not very feasible when he thought it over.

As he was not sure if Maddox would be coming back.

It would be great if he came back but what if he never returned? How could he explain to Beanie then? When Beanie knew the truth in the future, he would inevitably be sad.

Quill stared at the innocent Beanie in front of him and made up his mind.

It was better to tell him the truth now instead of replaceing out the truth by himself in the future. If Maddox came back alive, wouldn't it be a pleasant surprise? When he thought of this, Quill squatted down in front of Beanie, reached out to touch his head and whispered, "Beanie, I have something to tell you."

He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Uncle Quill?"

"Let's go to the study room. I have something to tell you."

On the other end, Minerva was lying on the sickbed, staring at the sunlight outside the window with a dull look in her eyes.

"Minerva, Beanie wanted to have a video call with you, are you going to ignore him?" Vera asked while she took out her phone and sat at the edge of the bed. Upon hearing this, Minerva's fingertips paused for a moment. She quickly turned her head away and ignored Vera.

She pursed her pale lips. There was a hint of despair in her eyes.

She promised Beanie to replace him a daddy, but now she lost his daddy. Before his daddy comes back, how could she face him?

She was afraid that when she saw him, she would be tearing up before she could even talkto him.

"Minerva, don't be so cruel. Beanie is very depressed. He thought he had just found his daddy. If you ignore him at this moment, he will cry to his death!" Vera said.

As she spoke, her eyes started to tear up. "Please, Minerva, talk to him. Just a few words will do. When I video called him today he was crying so much. This is the first time I've seen him cry like this. You know... Beanie is not a crybaby."

Minerva's heart felt like it had a thousand needles when she heard that. Her pink lips parted. How could she bear it?

But... What should she say to Beanie now?

Was she going to say that his daddy was involved in an accident and dig her own wound once again?

She shook her head. "No, let's wait a few days. I'm not in the mood right now."

"Minerva!" Vera did not give up and continued to call out to her.

Her words made her flustered. Minerva said icily, "Go out. I want to be alone for a while."

Vera didn't go out, but she was quiet. Minerva thought that she had listened to her.

However, to her surprise, about a minute later, the sound of a boy crying echoed through the ward.

"Mommy! Mommy... Boohoo..."

This familiar voice caused Minerva's body to tremble. She looked towards the source of the sound in disbelief.

Vera was holding onto her phone and having a video call with Beanie. On the screen, he was crying and calling out to her.

The sound of him crying was like a knife stabbing into her heart. She widened her eyes and looked at him. Suddenly, she turned her face away from the screen and her tears were welling up in her eyes. "Mommy, can you look at me? I want to talk to you..."

"Turn off the video." Minerva asked Vera in a calm tone.

Vera did not listen to her. She took the video and turned it to face her. It seemed that she was determined.

"Minerva, you should be clear- headed! The person on the other end of the video isn't someone else! That's your own son, Beanie. Don't you feel pain in your heart at all when you're treating him like this? He just wants to talk to you!"

"Take it away. I'll say it one last time." Minerva's voice was getting deeper and calmer, but her eyes were suffused with anger.

Vera was furious, thus she simply said to Beanie, "Beanie, did you hear that? Your bad mommy doesn't want to talk to you now. Even I can't help you this time. Well, don't cry anymore. No matter how miserably you cry, no one is going to comfort you. Be good and stop crying. Go do your homework. Do you hearthat?"

Beanie's eyes teared up. He shook his head hard and said "No, I want Mommy."

A child was just a child no matter how clever he was. When he saw that Minerva really didn't want to talk to him, Beanie felt as though he had been abandoned. He felt extremely uneasy. Therefore he kept crying. Listening to his cries, Minerva was both distressed and annoyed, she scolded.

"What are you crying for? I haven't even cried. What are you crying for?"

Her voice was very harsh. When she glanced at him, it was as if Beanie was the one at fault.

After being scolded by her, he was taken aback for a while. Then, he pursed his lips and cried in a childish voice, "I miss you... Mommy, can I come to you?"

"No." Minerva refused him without mercy. "If you're obedient, stay at home. Mommy will go back after I replace your daddy."

Beanie cried even more. "Mommy you are lying. Uncle Quill told me that something happened to Daddy. He may not come back anymore."

His words irritated Minerva. She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Beanie on the other end of the video in disbelief.

"Who allowed you to say nonsense like that? Didn't you listen to me? Your daddy is just lost. He will come back!"

Beanie continued, "Then I'll wait with you... You never left me before and you always take me with you no matter what you do. This time is going to be the same right?"

He was begging and he seemed so miserable that no one could refuse him. However, Minerva's heart was broken. She even detested herself like this. How could she let her son see her like this? Thinking of this, she answered coldly, "No, I can do it alone. You don't have to come here, okay?"

Beanie pouted and said, "But I want to stay with you. Mommy... Please promise me. I will definitely be obedient and won't make you angry. Please?"

He began to act like a rogue, pleading with her endlessly. It could make one's heart shatter listening to him.

Vera was holding the phone next to her. When she heard this, her eyes couldn't help but tear up. Then, she turned to Minerva and said, "Just promise Beanie. He's not someone else! He's the child you gave birth to after a few months of pregnancy!"
