Chapter 685


    After hanging up the phone, Beanie looked outside the door and happened to meet Vera''s eyes,


    which were peeking at him.


    "Auntie Vera, are you eavesdropping on my phone call?"


    Being caught, Vera felt a little embarrassed. This little kid was too high on alert! She merely stood


    aside silently and he could even tell that she was there.


    "No." She jumped out from behind the door and waved to him awkwardly. "I just came here to ask if


    you have called your mommy. I didn''t mean to eavesdrop on you."


    After that, she reached out and patted Beanie''s head, staring at him with a smile.


    He blinked and looked at her for a long time. "You''re lying. You wanted to eavesdrop on my phone


    call."


    The smile on Vera''s face froze, and then she simply admitted it. "Okay, okay, I was eavesdropping


    on your phone call. Did your mommy ask you to wait for her?"


    Seeing that she had admitted it, Beanie did not continue to pursue the matter but instead nodded.


    The corners of Vera''s mouth couldn''t help twitching. "Actually, I didn''t mean to eavesdrop on you.


    It''s just... In front of your uncle, remember not to expose your mommy''s affairs, do you understand?"


    "Why?" Beanie''s ck eyes looked at her in confusion.

    Facing such a pair of innocent and clear eyes, Vera really couldn''t lie. She could only look away and


    whispered, "Don''t ask too much. I will exin it to youter, but not now. Beanie, I know that you


    are different from ordinary children, and you are smart, so this time, you must promise me that you


    mustn''t intervene with any of their affairs alright. Let your mommy deal with it herself."


    After that, she looked at him seriously.


    He also stared at her.


    They looked at each other for a long time, and he suddenly tilted his head, "But even if I really


    wanted to tell Uncle Quill, I didn''t know the entirety of the story."


    "That''s impossible. It''s obvious that you and your dad..."


    Speaking of this, Vera suddenly reacted and went forward to hold him.


    "Beanie, you are so smart. I love you!" Hearing this, a look of disgust appeared on Beanie''s face,


    and then he reached out to push her away. He snorted, "I only like Mommy. You obviously like


    Uncle Quill more!"


    Seeing that Beanie knew what she was thinking, Vera could only touch her nose shyly and


    coughed. "Well, I love both of you the same. Anyway, you are smart and cute, so how could anyone


    not like you?"


    Beanie ignored her ttery and waited for Minerva toe and pick him up.


    He wondered what happened between his parentsst night. Would she forgive Maddox like that?


    Humph, impossible!


    Maddox used to bully her, and he even wanted her to forgive him easily! Don''t even think about it!


    Minerva was sent by the driver at Ocean Vi when she went out. When she arrived at the gate of


    the residential area, she told the driver to head back first. At first, the driver was still a little worried


    and insisted on waiting for her.


    Helplessly, she had no other choice but to tell the driver that Maddox woulde over to pick her


    up. Only then did the driver have a look of realization on his face. He then consciously drove away.


    After the driver left, she let out a sigh of relief and went upstairs.


    After entering the house, Minerva called out Beanie''s name.


    Then, she saw him sprinting down the stairs. She was shocked by how fast he was running towards


    her. She watched in fear as he ran and she wanted to yell at him to stop him from sprinting, but she


    was afraid that she would scare him. He might trip and fall instead.


    When he jumped into Minerva''s arms, the first thing she did was to reach out and grab his ear.


    "Who allowed you to run so fast? The stairs are high and you ran so fast. Are you not afraid of


    falling down? Beanie, do you think that your body is made of steel?"


    Her tone was harsh, and she was obviously not joking with him.


    Beanie didn''t dare to argue with her. He stuck out his tongue at her and made a face. "I''m sorry,


    Mommy. It''s my fault. I was so anxious because I saw you, so..."


    After that, he raised his little face and looked at her with a pitiful look, as if he was asking for her


    forgiveness.


    Seeing this, Minerva''s intention to lecture him suddenly disappeared.


    He pitifully reached out his hand and pointed to his ears, "Mommy, it''s painful."


    She subconsciously let go of her hand and rubbed his ears. "Is it painful? Did I pinch too hard?"


    "Yes!" He pouted his lips pitifully. His eyes seemed to be filled with tears as he looked at her.


    Minerva''s heart ached when she saw his gaze.


    "Well, it''s my fault. Don''t be angry with me, okay? Go wash your face and change your clothes. Let''s


    go to Quill''s ce."


    It was only then that Beanie nodded obediently, "Mommy, wait for me."


    Then he turned around and walked upstairs. When he was about to sprint again, Minerva scolded


    him, and he had no other choice but to walk slowly.


    Vera happened to stand at the stairs and witnessed what had happened. After Beanie left, she


    walked up and clicked her tongue.


    "Beanie is getting more and more masterful at pretending to be cute!"


    Minerva was speechless.


    She helplessly nced at Vera. Although she knew that Beanie deliberately pretended to be


    miserable to her just now, she was the one who was pulling on his ears. She could only pamper her


    own son.


    "Quill suddenly called to summon you. What''s going on? Does he know what happened between


    you and Young Master Yardley?"


    When this matter was brought up, Minerva remained calm, as if she wasn''t worried at all.


    Vera couldn''t help but feel a little strange. "Why are you still so steady? That''s your brother. Aren''t


    you worried?"


    Minerva looked up and nced at her calmly. Then, she softly said, "Would it do me any good if I


    worry? Anyways, he will know about this sooner orter. Therefore, it doesn''t matter."


    Hearing this, Vera also felt that it made sense.


    If Minerva and Maddox were together, Quill would surely find out sooner orter. It didn''t matter if he


    knew about it now or in the future.


    Thinking of this, Vera nodded, "Then have you thought about how you should tell Quill the news?"


    How should she tell him?


    Minerva felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of how she wanted to tell Quill the news.


    However... It seemed that there was nothing she could do about it.


    She smiled, "We will see. Well act ording to circumstances."
