Chapter 668


    The five- year- old child stood there with a te of fruit in his hand. The te had various kinds of


    fruits in it, but that was not the point. Although there was a hint of fierceness hidden in the child''s


    eyes, Maddox felt like he was looking in the mirror.


    The little guy in front of him seemed like a miniature version of himself.


    His heart jolted. He was losing it as he saw how simr the child''s face was to himself.


    When the little guy saw him, he also seemed to be taken aback. His dark eyes were as clear as


    ss beads, so clear that Maddox saw that the child was also looking at him, puzzled.


    However, soon after, the boy came back to his senses and stepped forward gradually.


    With every step he took, Maddox felt a stomp on his heart.


    Meanwhile, he didn''t realize that his fingers were trembling.


    Beanie was already in front of him. He saw Maddox''s face turn pale.


    "Humph, why is Daddy so useless?"


    Seeing him was like seeing a ghost.


    Oh no, did Daddy think that he was a ghost?


    Beanie put the te on the table. The porcin te made a crisp sound as it collided with the


    table. He poked a few toothpicks into the fruit and stared at Maddox.

    "Would you like some fruit?" He asked.


    He looked adorkable, naive and innocent.


    Maddox squatted down and slowly reached his hand out, approaching Beanie''s smooth and fair


    face.


    "You..."


    How could he look so simr to himself? He was a spitting image of him.


    All the anxiety disappeared upon seeing this face before him. All he could feel was puzzlement and


    incredulity.


    "Beanie!"


    A woman''s soft voice echoed and Minerva immediately sprinted down the stairs. When she reached


    the living room, this was what she saw.


    Beanie was on one side munching on an apple. Maddox was squatting down, trembling, trying to


    reach out to touch Beanie''s face.


    "Have they... met?"


    Minerva''s red lips trembled slightly and her mind went nk.


    Wha-What was she going to do now?


    Vera had her facial mask on when she saw that something was wrong with Minerva''s expression.


    Her mask fell off her face and she was shocked at what was happening.


    Did the father and son meet this soon? Vera stepped forward subconsciously when she saw


    Minerva standing there in a daze. She grabbed her hand and pulled her aside.


    "Vera, I..." Minerva grabbed onto Vera''s arm, not knowing what to do. Her gaze started to wander.


    "I know you are nervous, but you''d better not go over there right now," Vera directly reached out her


    hand and tore off the mask on her face. She sighed and lowered her voice, "Beanie is a smart kid.


    He can handle it. Shall I take you upstairs to cool down?"


    To cool down?


    Minerva was all over the ce at that moment. She couldn''t exin what it was. She knew that it


    was veryplicated, but she would never be able to calm down.


    But even if she went forward, what was she going to say?


    "Let''s go," Vera pulled her upstairs, and the living room downstairs was silent again.


    Both of them were still in the living room. Maddox froze in ce. Beanie wasn''t bothered by it and


    continued to eat the fruit.


    After a moment of silence, Maddox''s hand did not touch his face. Instead, he slowly retracted it.


    "Are you Beanie?"


    Maddox spoke slowly. He heard a tremor in his voice.


    Beanie stared at him and blinked his eyes.


    "Yes."


    He nodded. Maddox felt a thump in his heart. It was as if his heart exploded.


    He was Minerva''s son, the Beanie whom she constantly mentioned.


    Judging by his appearance, Maddox was almost certain of one thing...


    All of a sudden, Maddox grabbed Beanie''s wrist, squinted his eyes and stared at him, "Who is your


    daddy?"


    The atmosphere became tense. Beanie raised his head and said innocently, "I don''t have one."


    Maddox held his breath. "You... don''t have a daddy? Then you..."


    "Mommy said Daddy was dead!"


    Maddox looked at the face that was an exact replica of his. He felt lightheaded at the subsequent


    gloating look on Beanie''s face.


    "What do you mean he is dead?"


    Did this woman actually curse him?


    ''Tve never met my daddy since I was born. If he is not dead, then where is he?"


    "But do you think..." Maddox approached him with his eyes squinted, "Do you think that I look like


    you?"


    The two of them were inches apart. If it wasn''t for their difference in size, they were like twins talking


    to each other,


    Beanie suddenly stuffed another piece of apple into his mouth, making a crunching sound.


    Maddox was speechless.


    He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Can you stop eating right now?"


    "Oh, I can''t." Beanie quickly refused and said with a smile, "I like fruit."


    After that, he picked up a piece and suddenly stuffed it into Maddox''s mouth.


    He paused for a moment. He felt the child''s soft palm brush across his chin and subconsciously bit


    the apple as it was shoved into his mouth.


    The sweet and sour taste suddenly burst in his mouth, stimting Maddox''s taste buds. Looking at


    the child''s eyes, a thought shed in his mind.


    Like a robot, he stiffly chewed the apple and swallowed it.


    "Sir, is it delicious?" When Beanie saw him swallowing the apple, he couldn''t help but ask with a


    smile.


    "Sir?"


    Maddox''s eyes narrowed slightly. There was a hint of dryness in his voice, "Don''t call me sir."


    Beanie continued to blink at him and munch on his fruit. He asked him out of curiosity, "How should


    I address you?"


    Maddox was nervous. He stared at the little face in front of him. He slowly raised his hand and


    touched his little face. Then, he moved back and held the small guy in front of him in his arms with


    his trembling hands.


    "Sir?"


    The boy''s voice echoed from his chest.


    Maddox shut his eyes. His eyshes were trembling without Beanie noticing.


    He caressed the back of the little guy''s head with his hand. Maddox''s eyes were slightly watery and


    his voice was heavy.


    "Don''t call me sir. You should address me as Daddy."


    D*mn that woman. She actually... kept him in the dark for so long. No wonder... No wonder she told


    him not to look into her; no wonder she didn''t want him to know about his son; no wonder she got


    emotional and her gaze shifted every time he mentioned her son.


    So this was how it was...


    She was pregnant with his son!


    Beanie was Maddox''s son.


    Minerva... You had such a hard time keeping this a secret from me!
