Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

In the living room.

The servant served sfruits and pastries, placing them on the table. Meanwhile, Jelly Bean was playing a gon the gconsole. As Mashauva cheered her on, she sneakily grabbed a bunch of grapes for herself and occasionally fed sto Jelly Bean.

Beanie warned her sternly as soon as he noticed that, "Mashauva, you've just eaten. Don't have too much fruit." Mashauva had already eaten a lot during the meal. Her stomach might get bloated if she continued to consso many fruits.

Beanie's advice was for her own good.

Mashauva was stunned to hear him calling her nwith a stern tone. She was immediately dazed, and then she lifted her head to look at Beanie.

Mashauva was at a loss when she saw Beanie frowning as if he was furious.

"So... sorry, Beanie. I didn't mean to." Mashauva's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, and she stopped eating the grapes in her hand.

Beanie was stunned at the sight of her tears, "Why are you crying?" He merely reminded her not to eat too much as her stomach might bloat, but why was she crying? Mashauva noticed his impatient look that con, and her eyes widened even more with tears brimming in them, but she dared not let them stream down her cheeks as she pursed her lips in silence.

Jelly Bean also realised that there was tension in the air. Although she was still tender in age, she stopped playing her gand tilted her head to look at Mashauva once she spotted Mashauva's tears. "I'm sorry, Beanie." Mashauva put the bunch of green grapes back into the plate and mumbled in a soft voice, "I won't eat them anymore. I won't simply eat like this anymore. P-please, don't be mad at me." Beanie replied, "When did I get mad at you?" He stood up, but Mashauva was so frightened that she immediately burst into tears, "I'm sorry, Beanie. I really won't eat any more grapes." When Minerva and Vera exited the kitchen, they hurried over once they heard Mashauva crying.

"What happened?" Jelly Bean tilted her head and looked at Mashauva crying, still confused.

Beanie was somehow flabbergasted. He didn't know what was going on. He merely told Mashauva not to eat so much, so why did she cry? Had his tone been too harsh just then? Beanie tried hard to recall how he was, but he didn't feel as if there was anything wrong with his tone.

"Mashauva?" Minerva reached out to hold Mashauva in her arms and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, all right? Tellwhat happened." Vera then went to Beanie and clasped his shoulder after bending over to be at eye- level with him, "What's wrong with you? Did you bully her?" "I didn't. Everything was fine earlier. Why would I bully her for no reason?" Beanie's tone seemed rather annoyed.

"Then, why is she crying?" "I..." He had no idea why his words had made Mashauva cry.

"Anyway, she wouldn't cry if you didn't provoke her, right?" Vera gently patted Beanie on the shoulder and said, "You're the elder brother, and Mashauva is still a kid. You can't bully her, all right?" "Auntie Vera, I didn't bully her. All I did was lecture her for a bit." "Lecture her? Was your tone too stern?" Vera guessed before she continued, "You have to be gentler with girls. You're a big boy now, and you're much older than Mashauva." Beanie was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, Mashauva was still crying, and Minerva could only coax her softly. After that, she carried Mashauva over to Beanie.

"Mashauva, don't cry. I'll have Beanie apologize to you, all right?" Mashauva noticed Beanie's frown and assumed that he was extremely displeased with her, as if he didn't like her. Then, she shook her head and burrowed her head deep in Minerva's arms, not saying a word.

"Hurry up and apologize. You made her cry, so quickly apologize to her!" Vera pushed Beanie as she spoke. However, Beanie stood still with his lips tightly pursed.

He hadn't done anything wrong, so why should he apologize? "Beanie?" The next second, Beanie turned around and left so abruptly that Vera didn't even have the chance to stop him. When Mashauva saw Beanie ignoring her and just turned and left, she was even more saddened.

Although Minerva tried to cheer Mashauva up with food, the little girl refused to eat anything.

Hence, Minerva had no choice but to call Mashauva's parents and inform them that she suddenly wouldn't stop crying.

The Taylors arrived in no time.

Cassie realized that Mashauva's eyes were red and swollen from all the crying when she carried her, so she said apologetically, "My apologies. Mashauva must have caused you a lot of troubles, right?" Minerva shook her head and said, "It's all right. I wasn't around when the incident between her and Beanie happened, so I don't know what went wrong. She started crying all of a sudden, and I couldn't calm her down. I tried comforting her but she somehow ignored me. However, I checked on her, and she seems fine and doesn't have any wounds, so it doesn't seem as if Beanie had bullied her." Upon hearing that, Cassie hurriedly replied, "Minerva, what are you even talking about? Beanie's not like that. Mashauva must have been too gluttonous and was being lectured by him. The last tshe wanted more food, she cried for hours when I reprimanded her for it as well." Minerva was slightly embarrassed, "Is that so?" "It seems that way. It's fine. I'll bring her has she is quite emotional today. I wouldn't trouble you further." Minerva wanted to persuade them

to stay and tell her that it was not trouble at all, but Mashauva was still Mashauva crying fiercely them, and needed her parents to comfort her. Hence, Minerva could only nod in response. The Taylors then brought Mashauva home.

After they had left, Vera told Minerva, "They're really nice and polite to you, but Mashayva indeed can cry. She hasn't stopped crying even after so long." "She probably felt wronged. I'll ask Beanie about it later." Minerva didn't put the blon Beanie either. Instead, she wanted to ask him about it later on.

After the two men finished washing the dishes and cout from thel kitchen they didn't ask about Beanie and Mashauva's absence. Minerva made Vera tell them of what had happened before she went to check on Beanie in his room.

Beanie was alone in the room, sitting in front of his laptop. He looked like he was watching something.

When he heard the knock on the door, he paused for a moment and pondered before he went to open the door. The door opened, and indeed, it was Minerva standing outside.

"What are you doing, Beanie? Is it convenient forto cin?" Beanie turned around and let Minerva in.

"What happened today? You and Mashauva usually get along well, so why did she cry all of a sudden?" Beanie was rather annoyed as he, too, hadn't figured out why Mashauva was crying, "I don't know." X
