"Mommy! I've missed you so much!" Beanie hugged Minerva and rubbed his face against her arm, showering her with affection.
Having Beanie cuddle in her arm softened Minerva's heart.
"Didn't I tell you to come tomorrow? Why did you come in the middle of the night?" Minerva squatted down and reached out to pinch Beanie's soft cheeks. It felt good doing so, hence she reached out and rubbed them again.
Beanie's delicate features slowly changed under Minerva's grip on his cheeks, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, there was a flash of joy in his eyes. He held Minerva's wrist with one hand and said, "Mommy, kiss!"
Minerva lowered her head and kissed Beanie on the cheek. Beanie finally got what he wanted and hugged her neck with his short arms.
"In the future, can you and I live together forever?"
Minerva was stunned for a moment before nodding. "Of course. In the future, we will be together forever. I will protect you well."
"Humph." Beanie suddenly snorted. "I have already grown up and can protect you now. Don't send me away when you meet a problem in the future. I want to stay with you."
Minerva was shocked.
His words were like an adult's, causing Minerva's eyes to fill with tears. She stretched out her hand and caressed the back of Beanie's head. "My little beanie has grown up, I know."
"But you've never believed in me, huh!"
Observing them, Vera didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She then spoke on behalf of Minerva, "Is believing in you useful? When the bad guys really come, with such a tiny body, your mommy wouldn't even be able to take care of herself much less take care of you too. I'm not trying to hurt you but you're just too young. You'll only be a burden to your mommy. If you don't want to be a burden to your mommy, then hurry up, eat more and grow bigger. Wait until you're taller than both your mommy and I, then we'll be able to trust that you really have the ability to protect others!"
Although Vera's words were a harsh blow, they were the truth. Therefore, Minerva did not refute it.
Besides, she also knew that her son was not that vulnerable, to feel hurt by those words.
Sure enough, after listening to this, Beanie was disdainful and said angrily, "Auntie Vera, you only know how to criticize people. I wonder who it was that kept begging me not to tell uncle about her matter!"
Hearing this, the smile on Vera's face suddenly disappeared. She was going to hit Beanie.
"You're trying to be naughty, aren't you? Always using your uncle to tease me..."
"Mommy!" Beanie threw himself into Minerva's arms and hugged her tightly, asking her for help.
Minerva smiled and blocked Vera's attack. Then she whispered, "How far have you and Quill gone?"
Vera's face immediately blushed furiously and she said, "Minerva, what are you talking about?"
Beanie immediately cried out, "Mommy, I saw Aunt Vera kiss uncle!"
Upon hearing this, Minerva was a little shocked. "What did you say?"
"Ah!" Vera shouted as if her tail had been trampled on. "Beanie, you are talking nonsense! I didn't do such a thing!"
"Yes!" Beanie snorted. "I saw it upstairs that day. You kissed my uncle."
Minerva looked at Vera and found that her eyes were full of shyness, clearly indicating that Beanie had spoken the truth. If she hadn't kissed Quill, Beanie wouldn't have mentioned it and Vera wouldn't have been so fidgety.
This could only prove that Vera had really kissed Quill.
At the thought of Quill's calm face and Vera who actually stole a kiss from him. What kind of expression did he have?
Minerva's curiosity was piqued. Resting her chin on her hand, she looked at Vera.
"Can you explain the process to me?"
"For example, how did you do it?"
"Or for example, what the expression was on my brother's face?"
Vera was speechless.
Minerva urged, "Vera, hurry up and tell me the truth!"
"I don't want to talk to you two anymore!" Vera was so angry that she turned around and left the room. Minerva saw that Vera's face was so red because of embarrassment. She could only smile and stop chasing to tease her.
"Mommy, don't you believe me? I really saw it that day."
