Female Novel
Chapter 443
This was the first time.
The first time that Beanie asked Minerva for a father.
He had always been sensible since young. As such, he had never raised such a question toMinerva. Perhaps Vera had given him some pointers behind her back.
If some other children saw those who came from two-parent families, they might ask naively,"Mother, where is my father? Why don't I have one?"
But Beanie was different from other children. He had always been well-behaved, which madeMinerva's heart ache for him.
Minerva felt that Beanie didn't need a father as he had never spoken about it. She would loveBeanie wholeheartedly and make up for the loss of a father.
But now, it seemed that Beanie wanted a father, and he was just being considerate towards her.
As she thought of this, Minerva reached out and pulled his little body into her arms.
"I'm sorry, I've ignored your feelings."
Minerva embraced him warmly. Beanie blinked and hugged her back with a smile. He said in achildish tone, "No worries, Mommy. You just have to find a father for me."
Beanie was afraid that Minerva would misunderstand him, thus he added, "The one we met in therestaurant is pretty good."
Hearing his words, Minerva was taken aback.
"The restaurant?"
She loosened her grip on Beanie, asking in confusion. "Which restaurant? When did we bump intohim?"
Beanie was stunned for a moment and quickly rephrased his statement, "Mommy, it's the one wemet in the restaurant two days ago. The uncles said that there was a big shot upstairs, didn't they?"
After that, Beanie's eyes sparkled excitedly. "Big shot, doesn't that mean that he can back you upwhen the time comes?"
Minerva was utterly dumbfounded.
Beanie was referring to him?
All of a sudden, something came into her mind and she felt a chill run down her spine.
Was it by chance? Why did Beanie want that person even though he had never seen him before?
And that person was Maddox.
Out of the blue, the faces of Beanie and Maddox simultaneously ran through her mind, resemblingeach other.
Minerva was stunned.
What was the relationship between these two? Wasn’t Benedict the one who was in the car with herback then? But why... were Beanie and Maddox so alike? Instead, Beanie did not resembleBenedict.
Minerva dared not consider the other probability. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "So,you like the big shot?"
Beanie flashed a smile. "Mommy, did you agree?"
Minerva's mind was in turmoil. She merely said softly without crushing his hopes, "I will keep it inmind."
"Thank you, Mommy."
After a long while, Minerva suddenly thought of something and asked Beanie.
"By the way, do you know what happened to your Auntie Vera? Just now when I came back, I sawthat..." Minerva asked casually. However, Beanie suddenly whispered, "Mommy, let me tell you asecret."
"What is it?" Minerva inched closer to Beanie as he whispered something in her ear, "I saw AuntieVera kiss Uncle Quill just now!"
Minerva widened her eyes in surprise.
What? Did she hearthat correctly?
"Come again?" Beanie's words astounded Minerva. She managed to regain her senses after a longwhile. Vera actually... kissed Quill? This was unlikely to happen! Since when did Vera become sodaring?
"Mommy, it's true. I saw it with my own eyes."
Minerva came to a realization right away. No wonder she saw Vera's flushed look when she went tolook for her. Was it because she kissed Quill? Not only that, Quill looked like he was in a daze atthat time.
She had never seen Quill in such a state before. Could it be that his time had come?
Minerva curled her lip, her eyes rolling with delight. It sounded like a great thing to have Vera as hersister-in-law.
Both of them were close to each other, having gone through numerous obstacles in life. Minervawas absolutely positive that Vera and Sylvia were completely different, especially after Sylvia'sincident.
Vera was a truly loyal friend. She would stand up for Minerva no matter what. When Minerva wassick, or when she gave birth to Beanie, Vera was anxious to the point of tears. She surely putherself in Minerva's shoes.
Vera was genuinely worried about her.
Minerva felt fortunate to have Vera by her side after losing her best friend, Sylvia.
Vera had always said that she owed Minerva a lot in her past life. Hence, she helped her in return.
She joked at times that she treated Minerva well on purpose, because she did it for the sake ofQuill.
The two of them burst into laughter, while Minerva rooted for Vera to be her sister-in-law.
Vera kept quiet for so many years, including the time when Juliette confessed her feelings to Quill.Vera was disappointed for some time and eventually got over it.
"Beanie, you like Auntie Vera, right?'¹ Minerva smiled faintly. "If she was to be your aunt, what doyou think?"
Beanie blinked his doe eyes. "Well, if Vera becomes my aunt, then... she can cook for me moreoften in the future."
Hearing his words, Minerva was rendered speechless. She poked Beanie's head, "You, you onlythink about food all day!"
"Haha... Auntie Vera cooks well, and you like it too..."
Minerva and Beanie spent a long time with each other.
As night fell, Minerva lifted the blanket and got out of her bed. She then walked to the window andgazed at the peaceful night scene.
Minerva's heart was thumping. She recalled Beanie's words and lowered her gaze for a moment.
It implied that... Beanie really wanted a father.
Why? He had never spoken a word about it before. Why would he suddenly bring this up?

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, who is Bruno's teacher?" "Yes, it's me. Is there anything wrong?"When the teacher heard her, she suddenly became a little anxious and looked at Beanie's spot.novelbin
