Upon hearing the sound, Minerva quickly looked up towards the door.
Maddox was dressed in a dark suit. He probably just cback, 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 the video.
The call was suddenly cut off. Beanie was still blinking over the phone, but Minerva suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
Beanie looked at the screen where his mommy's face was before she disappeared and blinked his eyes innocently. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Vera, who was sitting on the sofa. She was munching 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 scrolling for 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 the video 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 to meet his eyes. She could only look away and coughed lightly.

"Unstable? When we were abroad previously, we stayed at a few hotels as well, but how cthe signal 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 to me. 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 if your mommy will scoldor not." After that, Vera held her arm, pretending to be frightened, and she played along, "I am so scared, so scared!" Looking at Vera, he felt like she was such a queen.
Beanie could only use his final resort, "Forget it, Mommy is not here now anyway so it'll be useless to 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 tic. When she heard Beanie mention his uncle, her face suddenly changed and her body movements also becstiff.
After three seconds, she cto her senses. She turned around and shouted, "Who are you going to tell? Beanie, cback 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 back already?" He walked towards her. When he heard her words, he paused for a moment and then stood where he 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 fingers were tapping away.
Because she did not go out, she was still wearing pajamas. The light blue color made her fair skin look like porcelain. Her soft black hair was casually tied and hung behind her head. Her face was clean 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 was waiting for him to chome.
He pushed open the door. Under the light, there she was sitting alone.
Waiting for him to cback.
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 cin." Minerva gulped.

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 was lingering around her ears, "Our son." Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect him to hear their conversation.
However, she quickly realized the term he had used. She bit her lower lip and said, "He's clearly my son. Since when did he... becyours?"
She felt another warm breath on her ear. Maddox's large hand moved down slowly to hold her waist. Hel said in a soft and charming voice, "Why isn't he mine? I am your man. Your son is my son." 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 feelings for that particular man.
The person in front of her was undoubtedly the person rooted in her heart. His romantic words were like an addictive drug to her. Naturally, Maddox's words tugged at her heartstrings. Her gaze shifted and she could not help but want to test him.
"Do you really not mind even though he's not your biological son?"
This was probably the first tthat Minerva had asked Maddox thism question so seriously. She had asked him this extremely cautiously. He held her in his arms. "Could it be that you've been refusing to acceptall this tbecause 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." 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 was doing, 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 heard Minerva say that. "Of course, you can't letdown either. Otherwise... I will hate you for the rest of my life!" X
