Tslipped by in silence, it was already afternoon. Maddox, Beanie and Sam had yet to return home. Minerva couldn't help feeling a little worried. She took out her phone and gave Maddox a phone call to ask him where they were.
The phone call was connected after his phone rang for a while.
Then, a childish voice cfrom the other end of the line.
"Mommy..." Beanie called out.
His voice cfrom the phone and instantly entered her heart. His voice was so infectious and she immediately smiled upon hearing it.
"Beanie," she said.
"Mommy..." Beanie called her again before he asked, "Mommy, you are so bad. You have my phone number, right? Why do you only call Daddy? Are you biased towards him? Do you only like Daddy and not me? Hearing that, a helpless gaze flashed across Minerva's beautiful eyes. She pinched the space between her eyebrows with her hand and asked in a soft tone, "Little fool, how could I be biased?" Beanie and Maddox were the two most important men in her life, not in any particular order.
Of course, if the baby she was expecting at that moment was still a boy, then she would have one more man who was the most important in her life. However, at the moment, she really hoped that it was a baby girl.
If it was a daughter, then Minerva and Maddox would have both son and daughter.
A family of four.
She could feel the warmth while thinking about it.
"Mommy, you're lying! You said that you're not biased but you didn't callon the phone at all!" Beanie was still complaining about her on the other side of the phone.
"Well, don't be angry. I will call you next time, okay?" Minerva persuaded.

Thinking that he was just a kid, she chose to listen to him. "Okay, I promise you," she replied.
However, after a while, Beanie was not satisfied by her promise to call him. He sat on Maddox's thigh while holding the handphone. He suddenly raised his head to take a look at his father.
Maddox, who was browsing through the documents, suddenly had a bad feeling. He happened to meet Beanie's clear eyes as he lowered his head.
After that, he heard him start to say something.
"Mommy, then do you like Daddy a little more, or likea little more?" He asked.
Maddox was at a loss for words at that moment.
The way he looked at his son had instantly becdangerous. He even narrowed his eyes and stared at him sharply.
However, Beanie was not afraid of him at all. He put on a smile and directly turned on the speaker mode so that he could hear her words clearly.
Upon hearing his question, Minerva blurted out, "Of course I like you more, Beanie." She didn't think much about it. After all, he was just a kid throwing a tantrum and it was okay to coax him. Furthermore, Maddox was his father. He would not mind what she had said.
As a father, he should take on the responsibilities of one! "Mommy, are you tellingthe truth?" Beanie then asked.
"Yes." For sreason, after saying that, she felt a little cold in her back. She then subconsciously shrank her shoulders and felt a little strange.
"What is going on?" She pondered to herself.
In the president's office of Collins Corporation.
When Minerva's words were transmitted through the handphone to Maddox's ear, there were changes in his aura. He had becsomeone dangerous. His face turned gloomy, and his eyes were particularly sharp when he stared at Beanie.
Sam, who was standing by the side, could also feel the obvious change. After all, he had been following Maddox for so many years and he was extremely clear with his emotions.
However... He didn't expect that Maddox would be jealous and angry because of his son...
"This is too... What's wrong with that?" Sam thought to himself. He pursed his lips but did not dare to say anything.
"Thank you, Mommy. I will always love you, Then, I'll hang up the call first," Beanie said.
Minerva was anxious as she heard that he was going to hang up the call. "Wait a minute." There was a slight change in Maddox's facial expression. "Is she going to ask anything about me? He pondered to himself. He curled up his lips when he thought of that. After all, it was his phone number. If she was calling his phone number, it meant that he was still more important than Beanie in her heart.
Even if she had mentioned that just now, she just wanted to coax the kid.
Well, he shouldn't care about that.
The more he thought about it, the wider the smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Mommy, is there anything else?" Beanie asked.
She then asked, "Beanie, have you eaten? You're still a kid, so don't forget to eat on time. If you're hungry, remember to ask your dad to buy you delicious food, okay? Also, you're not allowed to be picky when you eat, understand?" At the end of her words, Minerva's tone beca little more strict.
Beanie then nodded obediently.
"I am very obedient. I'm not picky about food," he replied.
"That's great," Minerva replied. After hearing that, Minerva could finally feel relieved. From the way Maddox treated Beanie when he saw Beanie, he should be able to take good care of Beanie.

"Nothing else, but you have to be obedient," she replied.
The smile on Maddox's lips froze when he heard that. A hint of disbelief flashed through his dark eyes. "Nothing else?" He thought to himself.
The reason why she called him was to merely show her concern for Beanie. She didn't even have anything to tell him? "Okay, Mommy, then I'll hang up the call," Beanie replied.
The smile on Maddox's lips disappeared gradually.
"Okay, bye," Minerva said.
Beep, Beep, Beep...
At that time, the smile on Maddox's face had disappeared completely.
Beanie locked the screen of the handphone and then handed it to Maddox with a smile. "Daddy, your mobile phone!" He didn't take it. Instead, he kept staring at the tender face of the little fellow in front of him with his dark eyes. He remained silent, and the surrounding air seemed to be still.
After a long while, the little fellow directly put the mobile phone into his hand and said, "Daddy, did you hear that? Mommy said that she lovesmore."
For sure, Maddox knew that it was a little trick played by the little fellow. He deliberately answered the phone call and turned on the speaker mode when he asked this question in front of him. Besides, he prevented her from mentioning his daddy on purpose. Was he trying to provoke him? Or... trying to take revenge? Was it because he didn't treat Minerva well in the past? That was why the little fellow was trying to seek justice for his mommy? After thinking about that for a while, it seemed to be the only possibility.
Although Maddox knew that he had done something that had hurt Minerva in the past and he was m determined to make up for it, he was suffering from memory loss at the moment. He could not recall anything that had happened in the past. It seemed like he had to hurry up to restore his memory.
However, he was still in a bad mood.
"It's okay for her to say that she loved Beanie more than me, but why didn't she ask anything abouteven after in hanging up the the call? Did she still remember who she was actually calling?" Maddox pondered to himself. Thinking about that, he could feel spain in his chest and he almost had difficulty breathing.
"Daddy, are you alright?" Beanie cover and asked in a hypocritical way
