Now that things had come to this, the both of them could never return to how they were back then.
From the way that Sylvia looked at herself, Minerva could feel how deep Sylvia's hatred for her ran. Thinking of this, Minerva said with some sadness.
"She probably hates me so much that she wants to kill me."
Otherwise, why would she do such things over and over again? When she looked at her, the hatred in her eyes was almost overflowing.
Minerva recalled how they used to be as close as siblings. It was a pity that they had become like this. She felt a deep regret in her heart.
She closed her eyes and said nothing more.
She suddenly heard Maddox say something.
'TH protect you."
Maddox was a man of his words. In the days that followed, he said that he would give her time and space to think things through. He did not look for Minerva, nor did he disturb her.
At first, Minerva didn't dare to look for Beanie because she was afraid that Maddox would appear suddenly. After observing for two days, she immediately looked for Beanie after realizing that Maddox really didn't plan on visiting her.
When Beanie saw her, he jumped into her arms instantly. Minerva bent down and held him tightly in her arms. She missed him very much.
"I miss you so much, Beanie." Minerva rubbed the back of his head lightly and sighed.
"Mommy, I miss you too."
After that, Beanie stood on his tiptoes and kissed Minerva on her cheek. "Mommy, kiss."
He pointed at his cheek and motioned for Minerva to return the favor.
Minerva smiled. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. She lowered her head and kissed Beanie's cheek in return. When she saw that he was still pouting, she kissed him on the other cheek. She then asked softly, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Humph." Beanie was acting proud. "It's barely satisfactory. Mommy, you haven't come to visit me for so long and didn't even take the initiative to send messages to me. I thought that you're abandoning your son!"
His serious tone made Minerva burst into laughter. She reached out and pinched Beanie's nose as she asked helplessly, "What are you thinking? Abandoning my son? How could I ever do such a thing?"
"Humph, you always said that you wouldn't do this, but you have ignored me for a long time." After that, Beanie held her arm with both hands and continued, "Mommy, you promised me that after taking me home this time, you wouldn't drive me away."
"Yeah..." Minerva nodded. "You're right, that's a promise."
"Mommy, you must keep your word this time. If you drive me away again, I will ignore you."
"I'll keep my word. I won't send you away again."
"Pinky promise."
Beanie stretched out his hand. Minerva did the same and they made a pinky promise. After that, a glint of light flashed across Beanie's eyes.
As long as he could stay by his Mommy's side, it would be just a matter of time for him to meet his Daddy.
Although he wanted to meet him, he knew that his Mommy didn't want him to. Therefore, Beanie couldn't let his Daddy see him without his Mommy's approval.
However, if he was to go back and live with Mommy, things would be different.
If his Daddy came and they were to meet accidentally, he would see Beanie's face.
Then, it was none of his business. After all, it would've happened by accident.
By then, Mommy and Daddy would be able to be together.
As he thought of this, Beanie felt overjoyed.
