Chapter 673

The huge boulder in his heart seemed to come off his chest, but Beanie snorted lightly. He was theonly 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 youwell, then I don't want this daddy."

Upon hearing this, Maddox felt his heart jolt again. Feeling a headache coming on, he reached outand 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 whosuddenly 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 littleboy 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, "Ishe beside you?"

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

"Then you listen to me," Minerva stared at her son with gentle eyes. She smiled and said softly, "Nomatter where he was in the past five years, now that he's here, he's your daddy. Even if you don'tacknowledge him as your daddy, he's still your biological father. So... It doesn't matter if you chooseto acknowledge him as your father or not. Moreover, in the past five years... I might have donesomething wrong, but I've already thought it through now. So, Beanie... Consider it for my sake anddon'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, shewould 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 hatedhim.

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 inthis 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 forhim?"

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

That little boy hated him. Now that he brought Beanie back home, but not Minerva, Beanie musthate 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 adultmatters. I know what to do. Remember to ask your daddy to send you to school tomorrow. I'll sendyour 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, hearranged 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 withBeanie. In desperation, Maddox could only take out his spare phone from the cabinet and dialedSam'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 makebreakfast.

When Vera went downstairs, she saw that Minerva was done with her breakfast. She was verysurprised 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 youeat 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 herhands, she realized that Minerva had already packed up and was about to leave with Beanie'sschoolbag 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 worktogether 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? Canyou do that?"

Five minutes? Five minutes wasn't even enough for makeup alone. Vera shook her head andrefused, "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 matterhow 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 towork. 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, ifMaddox 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 teachercarried his school bag for him. After talking to her colleague, the teacher was ready to go in whenshe 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, severalteachers were taken aback when they saw Maddox.
