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 to
Minerva. 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 made
Minerva''s heart ache for him.
Minerva felt that Beanie didn''t need a father as he had never spoken about it. She would love
Beanie 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 a
childish 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 the
restaurant 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 into
him?"
Beanie was stunned for a moment and quickly rephrased his statement, "Mommy, it''s the one we
met 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 up
when the timees?"
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, resembling
each other.
Minerva was stunned.
What was the rtionship between these two? Wasn’t Benedict the one who was in the car with her
back then? But why... were Beanie and Maddox so alike? Instead, Beanie did not resemble
Benedict.
Minerva dared not consider the other probability. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "So,
you like the big shot?"
Beanie shed a smile. "Mommy, did you agree?"
Minerva''s mind was in turmoil. She merely said softly without crushing his hopes, "I will keep it in
mind."
"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 saw
that..." Minerva asked casually. However, Beanie suddenly whispered, "Mommy, let me tell you a
secret."
"What is it?" Minerva inched closer to Beanie as he whispered something in her ear, "I saw Auntie
Vera 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 long
while. Vera actually... kissed Quill? This was unlikely to happen! Since when did Vera be so
daring?
"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 to
look for her. Was it because she kissed Quill? Not only that, Quill looked like he was in a daze at
that time.
She had never seen Quill in such a state before. Could it be that his time hade?
Minerva curled her lip, her eyes rolling with delight. It sounded like a great thing to have Vera as her
sister-inw.
Both of them were close to each other, having gone through numerous obstacles in life. Minerva
was absolutely positive that Vera and Sylvia werepletely different, especially after Sylvia''s
incident.
Vera was a truly loyal friend. She would stand up for Minerva no matter what. When Minerva was
sick, or when she gave birth to Beanie, Vera was anxious to the point of tears. She surely put
herself 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 of
Quill.

The two of them burst intoughter, while Minerva rooted for Vera to be her sister-inw.
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 do
you think?"
Beanie blinked his doe eyes. "Well, if Vera bes my aunt, then... she can cook for me more
often in the future."
Hearing his words, Minerva was rendered speechless. She poked Beanie''s head, "You, you only
think 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 nket and got out of her bed. She then walked to the window and
gazed 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?
Did something happen at school these few days?
When she sends Beanie to school the next day, she would have to ask the teacher about his
situation at school.
The next day.
Minerva went to look for Beanie''s teacher after sending him to the school entrance.
The students who attended that school were all rich and noble. Naturally, the teacher dared not
offend any of them. When she saw Minerva, she was polite and friendly. "Miss Hanover?"
"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.
Minerva gave a slight smile, saying, "Don''t be nervous. I just want to ask if there''s anything strange
that happened in the school these days?"
