Minerva couldn't hold back her urge to tease Vera when she saw how shy Vera was. However, her phone rang just as she was about to say something.
At first, the two of them looked at each other dazedly. Moments later, Vera seemed to have suddenly realized something. "Oh no! We're going to meet our client today, aren't we? I'm guessing that this phone call must be from them." Thinking of this, Vera's expression changed greatly. Without saying anything else, she turned around and rushed upstairs.
Minerva glanced at the time. There was still an hour before the agreed time.
It was said that the female star would be in San Novia today, and it would take them about 20 minutes to get there.
Well, there should still be enough time.
Minerva silently analyzed the tthey had left. Five minutes later, Vera had already dressed up and cdownstairs. She put her cell phone into Minerva's hand while running to the shoe cabto put on her shoes.
"I'm running late. Order a cab forplease." Minerva had no choice but to take and unlock her phone. Then, she ordered a cab for her.
"Done." Vera took the phone and rushed out, saying, "You have no conscience. You know that there is work today, but you didn't remindlast night. You even madeso drunk..." Bang! After the door was closed, Vera continued with a depressed face, "You embarrassedin front of my prince charming, ugh! I am going to be late!" After Vera left, Minerva went upstairs to wake Beanie up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she entered the room, he was still sleeping with a big pillow in his arms, which looked very funny. "Beanie, get up." Minerva called his nas she sat down at the edge of the bed.
"Hmm..." Beanie responded, but his body didn't move. He was still holding the pillow and sleeping soundly. Minerva glanced at the time. "It's almost noon. Why aren't you getting up?" Beanie opened his eyes and glanced at her bleary-eyed.
However, Minerva was stunned by the look in his eyes.
They looked so alike...
When Minerva gave birth to the child, she watched him grow up day after day. When he was very young, Minerva felt that the child's facial features were like Maddox's. She even laughed at herself because of that thought. Why did she still remember that person from the past? That was why she felt that the child looked like Maddox. However... Later on, Vera accidentally mentioned it as well, causing Minerva to be slightly alarmed.
As such, she thought to herself, was it because Maddox and Benedict were brothers? Was that why they had the skind of genes? Otherwise... Why would they look so alike? As the child grew older every day, his face becmore matured. His appearance was exactly the sas Maddox.
It was just that Beanie was a cuter version of Maddox.
Minerva had never been able to figure out that question. Later on, she decided not to think about it anymore. After all, there was no point in thinking too much about it.
She only needed to live a good life and raise Beanie well.
"Don't you want to get up?" Minerva was not angry. Her voice was soft as she tried to wake him up.
Beanie saw clearly that it was Minerva. He stretched out his hand to rub his eyes and sat up obediently. "Oh, Mommy, I seem to have overslept today." "You know that you overslept too. What did you do last night? Did you have any difficulty in falling asleep?" Beanie looked confused. "Mommy, I couldn't fall asleep last night... Uncle tolda long story." Upon hearing this, Minerva's heart skipped a beat. Quill seemed to be in good spirits when she talked to him earlier. She didn't expect him to stay up late last night...
"That man is really good at hiding himself." Especially in front of Minerva, Quill never took his health seriously. SeaR*ch the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Thinking of this, Minerva patted Beanie's cheek and said, "Well, get up. Your Auntie Vera has work today.
I will take you out for a meal. Let's go to the nearby supermarket to see if there is anything to buy." As soon as Beanie heard that they were going to the supermarket, he immediately got up from the bed and said, "Okay. Giveten minutes!" The little fellow's speed was pretty fast. He got up as soon as he said he wanted to.
Minerva also went back to her room to change into a new set of clothes and applied smake up.
When she was done washing up, she stared at herself in a daze in the mirror.
Since when had she become... someone who couldn't go out without makeup.
Sure enough, the years made people old, and no matter who it was, one would quietly change over time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The North City is good enough. Why do you have to move to San Novia?" In front of a glass wall, the man stood with his hands behind his back, and his tall figure drew a long shadow in front of the window. The dark suit that he wore, didn't make him look old. Instead, he eluded the charm of a mature man. Although the man's shadow looked slender, it could be seen from the suit that he had a strong and muscular body.
His eyes narrowed slightly like a fierce eagle. Looking down at the whole city, the man's thin lips opened again, "It's okay to move here, but when did you start to like living in high rise?"
A woman wearing hclothes walked out of the kitchen. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she looked el like a middle-aged woman. However, after looking closely at the corners of her eyes, one could see that she was already in her senior years. The woman placed a plate of fruits on the table and took a mouthful of grapes.
"Then you stay well in the North City then. What are you doing here? San Novia is a good city and I like the air here. What's wrong with that?" The man did not answer and still stood there motionlessly.
The woman looked at his back, picked up another grape and put it into her mouth, and said, "Is itpossible that you're sad for being alone so you cto your aunt to find warmth? Lettell you, Maddox, I cannot provide you the warmth you're seeking. You can also tell that I'm the only one in this house." "Is that so?" The man's voice was faint. "Why are you still alone? You are so old already."
"Brat, how can you talk like that? How can you be so rude?" After that, the woman sighed. "Do you think I want to be alone? Your mother's caffairs have cast a shadow on me. I witnessed it with my own eyes. Besides... I have checked. I don't have the ability to conceive a child. I am destined to be alone. Since your mother entrusted you to me, I would just regard you as my son." Upon hearing this, the man turned around and frowned.
"You?" "What? Are you refusing?" The woman was so angry that she slammed the table.
She was Maddox's aunt, Abigail Stark.
Abigail stood up and tried to pull the man's ear, but the man easily avoided her.
"Anyway, I don't care. If I am too old to walk in the future, you will have to take care ofthen." Maddox glanced at her lightly. Then, he grabbed the car keys and was about to leave.
"What are you going to do? Since you are so free all day, why don't you go downstairs to the supermarket to buy something for me?"
