Beanie cdownstairs as usual, but he paused for a moment upon noticing Mashauva in the living room before he resumed his steps.
He then went to the kitchen and ate, leaving the house after bidding Minerva farewell.
He had school that day, so Minerva left him to let him study and didn't say much.
Minerva noticed that Mashauva seemed slightly downcast after Beanie had left, so she reached out to poke Mashauva's cheek.
"What's the matter?" Mashauva raised her head to look at her. With her eyes opened wide, she asked pitifully, "Does Beanie hate me?" Minerva was stunned upon hearing that, and she explained, "Of course not! Why would you have such thoughts? Beanie would never hate you." With her head drooped, Mashauva seemed to be in low spirits.
"Are you overthinking because Beanie didn't talk to you earlier? Don't worry. Beanie isn't that petty. He has school, and you can go with him next twhen you start attending school." "Is that so?" Mashauva raised her head and asked in uncertainty.
"Yes. Beanie would definitely talk to you after he comes back. If he doesn't, he'll get it from me." Mashauva didn't say anything in response to Minerva, and she just continued to blink while she looked at Jelly Bean on the side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSubsequently, Mashauva waited eagerly for Beanie to return hfrom school.
Children's thinking process was always simple. They would only think of reconciliation after they'd fought with their friends, as it was easy for them to overthink while they were fighting with each other. Hence, Mashauva was just hoping for Beanie to return soon then, as she just wanted to make up with him.
She spent the whole day in anticipation.
Mashauva waited to the point of her falling asleep on the sofa and while Jelly Bean saw that she was asleep, she hugged her arm thoughtlessly and fell asleep as well.
That was what Minerva saw when she cdownstairs. She untangled Jelly Bean from Mashauva before she carried her upstairs. Then, Minerva would carry Mashauva upstairs as well.
Just as Minerva was about to head down the stairs to pick Mashauva up, she saw the car that picked Beanie up from school reaching and decided against going downstairs to get Mashauva as she remembered the conflict between the two children.
In fact, children tended to resolve their own conflicts in no time, as they are simple minded and they could be much braver too. However, they would be rather shy if adults were around, so Minerva decided against going downstairs.
Mashauva had a dream where she was eating ice cream, chocolate and a copious amount of cotton candy. She lived in a mansion consisting only of food with the aroma of delicious meals surrounding her. Mashauva kept on eating and eating until she heard Beanie's fierce tone.
At that, Mashauva jolted awake.
Mashauva realized there was a tall and thin figure sitting on the sofa after she had woken up. As she was still muddled from the sleep, she sat up straight and called out to Beanie. She had waited the whole day, after all. Hearing that, Beanie's back stiffened, and he then slowly turned around to look at her.
After a long pause, he managed to force out a harsh whisper, "Mhm." Meanwhile, Mashauva had forgotten about everything that had happened, and she rushed up to him, grabbing Beanie by his sleeve, "Beanie." She didn't know what to say or how to apologize, but they hadn't spoken for a week, and Mashauva had cut down a lot on how much she ate Right then, she craved a lot of food, and she wished that Beanie could bring her to have scotton candy.
"All right, it was my fault the other day. I shouldn't have talked so loudly at you." Beanie then brought out a pack of chocolate and lollipop from his bag and handed them to Mashauva, "This is for you." "Yay!" Mashauva grabbed the gifts in pleasant surprise, "Thank you, Beanie!" Beanie felt slightly exasperated as he looked at the delighted Mashauva, who giggled non-stop after receiving her snacks. However, he quickly straightened up and reminded her like an adult as he thought of something, "These are all sweets, and it's bad for you if you have too much." "I will remember that, Beanie." With that, the two children somehow reconciled, and they no longer held any grudges towards one another, unlike adults who would hold on to unhappy matters from the past. When Minerva cdown the stairs again, Mashauva was busy following Beanie around like usual.
Sure enough, kids were simple. They could smooth disagreements over as if nothing had ever happened, and they were happier that way without as much worries.
After that incident, Mashauva took Beanie's words to heart and never ate too many desserts again. His words echoed in her brain like a spell, but she would always forget them when faced with delicious food. She would get reminded of those words again only after she'd finished her food.
On the other hand, Sam noticed that Olivia had changed after their talk the other day. She had becomemore Serious about their their relationship, and she had never brought up the divorce again. Both of them lived peaceful lives. Of course, Sam had been very respectful to Olivia in the past six months. Also, to prevent Olivia from getting pregnant, he had never once had sex with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor Sam, he was still sceptical even though he noticed Olivia's changes. He was still afraid that she would leave him, so he proactively handed the marriage certificate to Olivia when the tcame.
When he placed the marriage certificate in front of Olivia, Olivia was eating while holding Virgil in her arms and coaxing the child. Emma was also there. When she turned around, she saw Sam coming over with the marriage certificate in hand. Her expression showed subtle changes before she told Olivia, "I'll take the child downstairs." "Mhm?" Olivia didn't understand why she would want to bring Virgil downstairs all of a sudden, "Mom, we're eating..." Emma held Virgil in her arms and turned around to leave before Olivia could finish speaking.
Olivia felt a little helpless, and she was about to protest when she heard footsteps behind her. After turning around, she realized Sam was behind her with two red books in his hands.
Olivia instantly fell silent. No wonder Emma had suddenly wanted to head downstairs with Virgil.
Virgil was very quickly whisked away by Emma, leaving only Olivia and Sam in the room.
Olivia sat still, and Sam cto take his seat beside her.
"These are the marriage certificates that I've kept for half a year." Sam handed her the two red books and said, "Now, I'm giving them to you. The half year mark is up, so do you still want to leave me?"
Olivia paused for a moment when she heard that before she said nonchalantly, "Since you've kept it for sp long can't be bothered to take them. You can continue to keep them." Sam's heart skipped a beat, "Are you lettingto continue keeping them?" X
