"Be careful." After Beanie got out of the car, Maddox closed the door and squatted down in front of him.
"Shall I carry you in?" Beanie took a few steps back and said seriously, "Mommy hasn't said that you are my daddy, so I'll walk by myself." After that, he walked past Maddox and went forward.
Looking at the little boy's back, Maddox couldn't tell what he was thinking. Was the little boy angry with him? Was Beanie mad at him for not being his dad for five whole years? Was that why he was not willing to call him daddy? Or was he mad that he only brought him back with him that night? At the thought of this, Maddox thought of the aggrieved look on Minerva's face. He had rarely seen her speak to him so humbly like she did that day.
Now that he thought about it, his heart ached. However....
He did not continue to think about it. He started walking and caught up with Beanie's pace.
Ocean Villa was huge. Beanie was practically swallowed up by the night. Moreover, he walked quite fast. Fortunately, he was short and had short legs. Otherwise, Maddox would not be able to catch up with him. "Sir, are you going to sendback hlater?" Upon hearing this, Maddox paused for a while and then said, "It's already too late now. I've already told your mommy that you will be spending the night here." Beanie stopped in his tracks. Maddox suddenly felt his breathing stop. Was the little boy unhappy? Beanie turned around and stared at him seriously.
"Sir, did my mommy agree to it?" In the night, Beanie stared at him with his glistening eyes, like a beast. Maddox felt a little guilty. He didn't even dare to look into his eyes.
Hence, Maddox avoided his gaze and said with a faint smile.

I want to video call with my mommy later. Can you lendyour mobile phone?" Maddox immediately agreed to his request to lend him his phone. "Of course, you can." Maddox handed over his phone as if it was a treasure.
His mood softened as the little boy stretched out his hand to receive the phone.
"Thank you, sir." Beanie was so happy that he turned around and ran into the house.
What kind of feeling was that? He clearly thought that this boy was Minerva and her ex-husband's child. He convinced himself for a very long tbefore he could accept this child.
However, after meeting the child, he realized that the child was actually... his own son.
He looked exactly like him. Who else could be his father besides him? He should be excited that he was his own blood.
However... There was joy, but even more so, anger.
Beanie was his own son, but he was kept in the dark for five whole years.
Five years... That was a really long time.
Maddox stood there blankly. He recalled the twhen Minerva tugged on his sleeve and pleaded with him. Of course, his heart ached. He spent so much effort pursuing her.
If possible, of course, he would take her into his arms and shower her with his love.
But now, his mind was in a mess.
While he was deep in thought, he heard Beanie's breathing slowly approaching "Sir, what is the gestural code?" Upon hearing this, Maddox cto his senses and replied, "It's a Z." Beanie drew a Z and finally unlocked the phone. The hscreen of Maddox's mobile phone was very simple. Except for the apps used for working, he had no other entertainment apps downloaded on his phone.
Glancing back and forth, Beanie sighed helplessly in his heart.
What a boring man.
There was only work on his phone, so how did he spend the last five years? After looking into him, Maddox didn't have a single lady by his side during this time.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't a playboy, Beanie would definitely not allow his mother to get together with this guy.
He tapped on Facebook and saw the conversation with his mother pinned on top of the page. Beanie found a comfortable spot on the sofa and laid down. Then, he started scrolling through Maddox's phone. Beanie couldn't find any other female contacts in Maddox's Facebook account other than Minerva.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"At least he knows what's good for him!" Beanie snorted in his heart. Then, he clicked on Minerva's chat and pressed the video call button.
Minerva sat quietly in her room. Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrate. She looked down and saw that it was a video call from Maddox.
She was taken aback. She did not know how to react.
What was his intention for video calling her now? Could he have already figured it out? Thinking of this, Minerva accepted the call. She felt her heart beating rapidly as she picked up the call.
A silhouette gradually appeared on the screen of the phone. It looked like Maddox's, but... it was not him.
"Beanie?" "Mommy!" The moment Beanie saw Minerva, a silly smile instantly appeared on his face, "Do you miss me?" Did she miss him? "Uh..." Minerva gave him a helpless look and said, "You've only been away for a short while and you're askingif I have missed you?"
"Mommy, how could you say that? Do you not loveanymore? I have been away for a while now and I've been thinking of you since then. However, you actually said that you don't miss me." Minerva was speechless. She coughed lightly and explained, "That's not what I meant. I know where you went, so I'm relieved. It's not that I don't miss you." Beanie stared at her, who was on the other end of the video. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Maddox coming in from the door, so he asked.
"That man said that you promised to let him takehome. Is it true, Mommy?"
Minerva paused for a moment. She naturally knew who Beanie was talking about. In fact, Maddox did hot ask her before taking Beanie away. Before she cback to her senses, he was already missing from the house. "Also, Mommy... Why does that man look exactly like me? He said he's my daddy. Is that true?"
Maddox walked to the door and saw the little guy sitting there with his phone in his hand. The littl@guyM spoke to the phone in a childish tone. He was dressed in a white shirt, giving off a gentle vibe. Maddox felt his heart melting when he saw this. But in the next second, he becnervous because of what he said.
If Minerva refused to admit it, would that boy... not recognize him as his daddy? He held his breath and waited quietly.
After stpassed, Maddox heard a gentle female voice say.
"Yes, he is your daddy."
