Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1140

However, his lousy uncle wasn't good at relationships, and had even broken Auntie Vera's heart. On the other hand, Sam was often busy assisting Maddox with the company's affairs, and would be going overseas soon.

Therefore, she would be alone during this time, and it would be easy for others to hit on her!

Thus, Beanie needed to take up the responsibility of making sure no other guys could take advantage of her.

Vera had already noticed Beanie before he could speak, and she made her way to him slowly.

She had been reluctant to approach them when she noticed that Sheridan was there. After all, she didn't even have the slightest hint of affection towards him, despite having spent the past two days with him.

She had wanted to head back into the kitchen after serving the food, before seeing a small figure standing in front of Sheridan.

Wasn't that Beanie?

She felt a little guilty when she noticed Beanie standing next to her date. She then walked over.

"Beanie, what are you doing?"

Vera called his name, and waved to him from afar.

Disappointment flashed across his eyes. Why did Auntie Vera come now? It would have been better if she had come a little later.

However, he couldn't address her as his mom in front of her, because it would make her feel embarrassed and awkward. He then reluctantly walked over, and called her 'Auntie Vera'.

Sheridan had heard it, loud and clear. They didn't look like mother and son at all when they stood next to each other. He let out a sigh of relief.

This kid was too mischievous. How could he have lied to him? Luckily, he had seen through his act.

"Hey, why are you here today? How's your mommy been, recently? If I remember correctly, she should be going into labor soon, right?" Vera asked.

Beanie nodded and said, "Well, it's because Mommy is going into labor soon that Daddy has no time to care about me, so I came to look for you alone."

After that, he realized something, and looked at Sheridan. "Auntie Vera, who is this? He wanted to treat me to some pasta because he thought I was a customer. He even said that he owns this restaurant."

Sheridan's smile froze when he heard those words. He hadn't expected him to say that. Even Vera was stunned after she'd heard what Beanie said, or rather, what Sheridan had said.

Either way, he could only speak up to defend himself.

"It's not what you think. I saw that he was alone, so I offered to treat him to a plate of pasta, but I guess the kid was worried that I didn't really want to treat him, so he asked if the restaurant was mine. I had no choice but to say yes to calm him down."

Beanie blinked and clicked his tongue in annoyance. He didn't expect this man to be so quick on his feet.

Vera understood what was happening.

"I see. I apologize. Beanie is my best friend's son. She's about to go into labor, so he sometimes comes to the restaurant when he gets bored. He didn't say anything bad, did he?"

Beanie blinked and said, "Auntie Vera, I didn't. I didn't tell him about you and Uncle. I... uh."

Before he could finish his words, Vera put her hand over his mouth. She smiled at Sheridan in embarrassment and said, "I'll take him in first. Help yourself."

She then dragged him into the kitchen.

"Watch your mouth!" She began to lecture him after they got inside.

He was so furious that he crossed his arms and huffed, "Auntie Vera, do you like him? Are you going to date him? Why didn't you let me tell him about you and Uncle Quill?"

"Of course, I don't like him that way." She paused before answering Beanie's question, "But he is my date now and it would be weird if you told him. Also, your uncle and I will never be together, ever. I can never be your aunt. You are not allowed to mention your uncle in front of me again."

They were never going to be together, ever?

"Why, Auntie Vera?"

"No reason. Stop asking so many questions, Beanie. Anyway, you are not allowed to bring it up again, and you are not allowed to mention anything about me in front of your uncle. If... If you bring it up again, I won't talk to you anymore."

He pouted. "Hmph."

"Did I make myself clear?"

He remained silent.
