"I'm sorry. You've been living with me all this while, so you've always had a deeper dependence on me compared to your daddy. I promise you that this kind of matter will never happen again. As long as it's a matter related to you, Daddy and I will ask for your opinion first, okay?"
Beanie did not expect Minerva to say this to him. In fact, he wasn't angry and only wanted to make a fuss about it as he was slightly jealous.
After all, he had been with his mommy since he was a child. Later, when his daddy came back, his mommy had been completely taken away. His time with her wasn't that much to begin with. Now, he even had to share his time with her with someone else.
Beanie felt as if his daddy wanted to drive him away from his mommy.
Moreover, at this moment, Minerva had even spoken up for his daddy, that bad guy!
Therefore, he felt extremely jealous.
Upon seeing that he did not say anything, she pulled him into her embrace.
"You like to lie on my lap to sleep, right? Tonight, I will let you lay on my lap. I'll read you some stories, and watch you sleep, okay?"
Beanie indeed liked sleeping on Minerva's lap when he was two or three years old. Sometimes, he even slept on her belly. However, he had grown up, and his legs were longer. His weight had also increased. If he slept on her lap again, her legs would soon ache and then go numb.
After thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Don't bother, Mommy."
"What's wrong? Are you worried for me? Are you afraid of making my legs go numb?" She pinched his nose lightly. "You are still young. Do you really think of yourself as an adult?"
"Mommy, I'm heavier than before."
She said helplessly, "How heavy can you be? No matter how heavy you are, you are still a child. I can bear it, lie down."
Therefore, in the end, he had to lay on her lap. Minerva stroked his head and the room was quiet. The mother and son got along with each other in silence. Their time together seemed to have become beautiful in an instant.
"Mommy, that's not the only thing you wanted to say to me, isn't it?"
Beanie suddenly asked after an unknown period of time.
Upon hearing this, she was taken aback. Then, she sighed deeply. She had long known that her son was smart, but she did not expect him to be so sensitive.
"You are right. I do have something else to tell you. It's about what you have said to me."
The glint in his eyes became dim. He then heard herH say, "Although these words may seem cruel to you right now, I feel like you have your own way of thinking. Therefore, even if I say a few nice words, you'll still feel bad about it. Why don't I explain to you directly then? What do you think?"
"Mommy, you can just say what you want."
He flipped over and turned his back against her. "I can't make any objections anyway."
This child...
After seeing Beanie acting this way, Minerva had a feeling that she was like an old mother, while her child had already grown up.
She reached out and touched the back of his head. "Turn around and listen to what I have to say."
He did not turn around, but his voice sounded stuffy.
