Chapter 645

Upon hearing the sound, Minerva quickly looked up towards the door.

Maddox was dressed in a dark suit. He probably just came back, but where had he been?

This was her first thought when she saw him.

However, when she caught sight of a smaller Maddox on the screen out of the corner of her eye,her expression changed slightly. She pretended to be calm and moved the mouse to turn off thevideo.

The call was suddenly cut off. Beanie was still blinking over the phone, but Minerva suddenlydisappeared before his eyes.

Beanie looked at the screen where his mommy's face was before she disappeared and blinked hiseyes innocently. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Vera, who was sitting on the sofa. She wasmunching away at an apple.

"Auntie Vera, why has the video disappeared?"

She swallowed a bite and let out a cry. Then, she got up and walked behind Beanie. After scrollingfor a bit, she saw that a message had been sent from Minerva.

She thought for a moment and then said to him, "Beanie, your mommy's line is not very good so thevideo automatically cut off."

"The line isn't good?" He looked at Vera innocently.

With such an innocent look in his eyes, she felt guilty when she looked at him, so she didn't dare tomeet his eyes. She could only look away and coughed lightly.

"Try to understand, Beanie. After all, your mommy is staying in a hotel abroad. Perhaps the signalthere is unstable. Let's video call your mommy later. It's getting late. You should take a bath and doyour homework."

Beanie was reluctant; he pouted and snorted.

"Unstable? When we were abroad previously, we stayed at a few hotels as well, but how come thesignal was always stable then?"

"You," Hearing this, Vera immediately straightened her face and said, "What are you talking about?If I said it's unstable then it's unstable. Are you doubting my words?"

"Humph!" He snorted again and raised his face to look at her, "Auntie Vera, you're being fierce tome. When Mommy comes back, I will tell her."

"Oh, you've learned how to complain now? Go tell her then. You think I'm afraid of her? Let's see ifyour mommy will scold me or not."

After that, Vera held her arm, pretending to be frightened, and she played along, "I am so scared, soscared!"

Looking at Vera, he felt like she was such a drama queen.

Beanie could only use his final resort, "Forget it, Mommy is not here now anyway so it'll be uselessto tell her. I'll call my uncle now and tell him that you were fierce to me..."

He jumped up from his chair and ran out.

Meanwhile, Vera was still busy being dramatic. When she heard Beanie mention his uncle, her facesuddenly changed and her body movements also became stiff.

After three seconds, she came to her senses. She turned around and shouted, "Who are you goingto tell? Beanie, come back quickly!"

After Minerva hung up the call, she opened her work tab and acted like nothing had happened.

Minerva's slender and fair fingers flew across the keyboard as she casually asked, "You're backalready?"

He walked towards her. When he heard her words, he paused for a moment and then stood wherehe was and looked at her quietly.

She was sitting on the big bed in the room and on her lap was his laptop. Her beautiful white fingerswere tapping away.

Because she did not go out, she was still wearing pajamas. The light blue color made her fair skinlook like porcelain. Her soft black hair was casually tied and hung behind her head. Her face wasclean with no makeup on and her usually red lips were a soft pink.

This scene made Maddox feel exceptionally warm.

He felt like he was a husband who had just returned from work while Minerva was his wife who waswaiting for him to come home.

He pushed open the door. Under the light, there she was sitting alone.

Waiting for him to come back.

His heart softened when he looked at her.

He was too quiet so Minerva raised her head from the laptop screen to take a look at him.

"What's wrong?"

Maddox regained his senses and strode towards her again.

She immediately felt the edge of the bed sink the moment he sat down beside her.

"What are you doing?" He asked casually.

She suddenly felt a little guilty when he asked her this. She could only stammer and say, "Work.Can't you see?"

"I meant what were you doing just now," Maddox reminded, "I heard your voice before I came in."

Minerva gulped.

She didn't answer, as if she was waiting for him to continue.

He did not let her down, "Was it him?"

Her breathing stopped, "What?"

In the next second, Maddox directly leaned over and held her in his arms. His warm breath waslingering around her ears, "Our son."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect him to hear theirconversation.

However, she quickly realized the term he had used. She bit her lower lip and said, "He's clearly myson. Since when did he... become yours?"

She felt another warm breath on her ear. Maddox's large hand moved down slowly to hold herwaist. He said in a soft and charming voice, "Why isn't he mine? I am your man. Your son is myson."

Sweet talk was always nice to hear; women all liked to hear it.

If a woman was not touched by a man's sweet words, that could only mean that she had no feelingsfor that particular man.

The person in front of her was undoubtedly the person rooted in her heart. His romantic words werelike an addictive drug to her.

Naturally, Maddox's words tugged at her heartstrings. Her gaze shifted and she could not help butwant to test him.

"Do you really not mind even though he's not your biological son?"

This was probably the first time that Minerva had asked Maddox this question so seriously. She hadasked him this extremely cautiously. He held her in his arms.

"Could it be that you've been refusing to accept me all this time because of this?" He asked.

She thought for a moment and answered, "It's half the reason."

Half the reason?

"Then you can dispel your concerns now, because your man is about to defeat all your worries."novelbin

Minerva looked at him quietly.

She bit her lower lip and suddenly reached out to hold Maddox's neck with a little bit of strength.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms and he was shocked. When he realized what she wasdoing, he smiled dotingly again.

"Maddox!"

"What?"

"I won't let you down."

"What's there to let down?" Maddox raised his brows and was about to ask her when he heardMinerva say that.

"Of course, you can't let me down either. Otherwise... I will hate you for the rest of my life!"
