Chapter 357

Upon hearing this, Maddox frowned and said, "Did I come from another city just to help you getsome groceries at the supermarket?"

"What's wrong with going to the supermarket? You're here to see me anyway. Is there any problemwith doing something for me?"

Speaking of which, Abigail squinted at Maddox.

"I'm not going." Maddox refused directly. "Go by yourself."

"Fine." Abigail stood up directly. "Then you'll send me there."

Maddox was a little unhappy. He pursed his thin lips and did not say anything.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with doing your filial duty?"

"Isn't it just downstairs? Do you still need me to send you there?"

"It's always good to have another person to help me at the supermarket. Come on, let's go."

Although Maddox was frowning, in the end he still decided to follow Abigail.

"I'm telling you that the air here in San Novia is much better than in North City. North City isovercrowded. Do you know that I sometimes cannot make it to work on time because of the trafficjams? Since the hospital transferred me to San Novia this time, I'm very lucky too." After enteringthe supermarket, Abigail talked while sighing. Then, she asked Maddox to grab a shopping cart.Although Maddox sounded impatient, he still went ahead to get the cart.

Basically, he would do whatever Abigail asked for.

The appearance of Maddox got many girls in the supermarket feeling excited. They all gathered andstared closely at him.

"Oh my, that man is so handsome. Is the woman next to him his girlfriend?"

"Are you blind? That woman is more like his mother, okay?"

"No way, she looks pretty young."

"I can tell at a glance that they're nobles because they look so well maintained. And if you take acloser look, you'll notice that they actually look similar. Alas, I really want to go and ask if he has agirlfriend or can I add him on Facebook or something?"

"You're thinking too much. This kind of man won't fall in love with you. There must be a lot of womenwaiting for him to pick her. You don't have any special features either. Why would he fall in love withyou?"

Several waitresses looked at Maddox and Abigail with regret as they walked away.

Maddox furrowed his brows. He seemed to have heard those words, or maybe he did not.

On the other hand, Abigail heard them and turned to ask Maddox with a smile.

"It seems that you, my nephew, are still so charming that girls like you no matter where ever yougo."

Upon hearing this, Maddox seemed to be a little unhappy and said, "Aunt."

"Fine, I won't tease you anymore. I know that you are a person who cannot take jokes." After Abigailfinished, she sighed inexplicably and said, "Since Kimberly left, you have been..."

"Aunt!" The name seemed to have triggered something in Maddox. He immediately frowned indissatisfaction and stopped walking.

Abigail raised her eyebrows and twitched her lips. "Sorry, I didn't say anything. Let's go."

The two of them quickly went up to the second floor.

Maddox and Abigail went up to the second floor for a little while.

Minerva took Beanie to the supermarket. When they entered the supermarket, Beanie raised hishead and asked, "Mommy, can I take off my hat?"

Upon hearing this, Minerva looked around. Perhaps it was because it was still very early that day,thus, no one was tailing them.

Moreover, it was probably only because she just returned to North City the previous so there werereporters following her. It was most likely that they would not follow her anymore that day, so shecould finally be at ease.

Thinking of this, Minerva nodded and said, "Sure, you can take it off then."

Hearing that, Beanie happily took off the hat on his head and said, "Thank you Mommy." Shestretched out her hand, rubbed his little head and said, "Let's go. We'll go get a shopping cart, andthen have a look at the fresh fruits and vegetables first."

"I'll go push it!" Beanie immediately volunteered and went to push the shopping cart with his shortlegs.

The girls who had just finished their discussion about Maddox did not seem to care much when theysaw Beanie walking towards them. However, after a quick glance, they were so shocked that theireyes widened and they pulled each other's sleeves.novelbin

"What I said was right. A good man like him will never be in our arms. I thought he just had agirlfriend but I didn't expect him to have a son who's already so big!"

"Son? What are you talking about?"

"Look at the child. Doesn't he look exactly the same as the previous man?"

The girl's friend looked in the direction she pointed at and instantly said, "What the f*ck, is that hisclone? How can they look so alike? I was still shamelessly thinking of going to ask him for hisFacebook, but I didn't expect him to even have a son already. Gosh, I feel so hurt!"

"They must have come to the supermarket together. Our dream's broken. A handsome guy eitherhas a girlfriend or a family already. Forget about it. Don't even dream about it again next time."

One of them couldn't help but tell Beanie, "Little kid, your father went upstairs already."

Beanie pointed at himself in a silly and cute way. "Are you talking to me?" "Wow, he's so cute! He'scompletely different from the man who is so cold all over!"

Several women couldn't help but walk to Beanie's side and pulled a shopping cart out for him. Whilenodding, they said, "Yes, it's you. Your father went up to the second floor."

She thought it was a good idea to remind him.

Beanie blinked his clear eyes. Although he didn't understand what the little sister was talking about,she seemed to be kind. So he nodded and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady. I got it."

"You're so cute... Can I... pinch your face?"

One of them could not help but make such a rude request.

Beanie paused for a moment and then stretched out a finger. Just when the girl thought he wouldagree to her request, he shook his little finger seriously and said, "No way."

The girls were a little disappointed, and the other few girls surrounding him also felt a little regretful.

Click! Click!

The sound of high heels could be heard.

Minerva appeared in front of them whilst holding a bag in her hand. She smiled and asked, "Hello,may I know what happened?"

"Mommy!" Beanie walked back to Minerva and held her hand.

Hearing Beanie call her mommy, the girls looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, madam.Your child is too cute, so we... were just saying hello to him."

Minerva was sort of used to this kind of situation, but she still asked out of courtesy.

"I see. Beanie, say goodbye to these ladies. We still have to go shopping."

"Goodbye."

After Minerva greeted them with a smile, she left with Beanie holding her hand.

After she left, the girls gathered together and started to gossip.

"Did you see that? His wife has such good temperament and aura. We are incomparable to her."

"You're right. Don't even think about it. Let's get back to work."

"Hey, but look, they're shopping separately. The one in front went up to the second floor, while shewent to the fresh fruits and vegetables area. What's going on?"

"What else can it be? Isn't it obvious that they are splitting up to shop? Can't you see that they camein at different timings?"
