From looks alone, Beanie would know that Maddox was his biological father.
"How do you know?" He suddenly thought of something important. After all the staff members left, he pulled Minerva to the sofa and sat down with a serious look on his face, "Have you told him about me?"
"Have I told him?"
Minerva had only told Beanie that she would find him a daddy, but since Maddox was asking her, had she ever told him?
She didn't know.
He could tell from her expression what the answer was. His expression fell.
"You haven't told him, have you?"
"I..."
"In your heart, do I really not mean much?"
"Maddox, I..."
"Am I not even worth mentioning?"
"Can you let me speak?" Minerva said.
Maddox sat there with an ashen face and stared at her. His gaze was so piercing that she did not know how to explain.
"What do you want to say? Go ahead."
"I mentioned to Beanie... that I would help him look for a daddy, but..."
"But you never expected that it was me, right?"
"No, that's not what I meant!" Minerva interrupted him. "Maddox, can you stop being so hot-tempered? I'm already with you now. Why are you still so fierce to me?"
Her words brought him back to his senses.
Yes, she was with him. Why was he so fierce to her? Anyway, whether or not she told him, Beanie would be his son sooner or later and would have to call him 'daddy'.
Thinking of this, Maddox pursed his thin lips and said.
"Okay, I won't be fierce anymore. I'll stay here tonight."
"I'll be right here waiting for my son to come back to tear open his presents."
Minerva's eyes widened, "You really want to stay tonight? Didn't you say that you'll give me sometime?"
"Ifs just three days. Half of today is already over. Are you that unwilling to let me meet Beanie?"
That's not what I meant...¹
"Then let me stay."
Minerva could not refute him.
She looked at him with a conflicted look for a long while, then got up, "You can stay if you want. It's up to you."
After that, she directly walked past Maddox and went upstairs. She was going to take a bath. Anyway, Vera wouldn't come back this early.
After entering the room, she still couldn't control her beating heart. She took out her mobile phone to call Vera.
She didn't know how things were going with her and Quill. She had to ask Vera when she would come back because she wasn't prepared yet.
The phone rang for a long time before she picked up.
A happy expression appeared on Minerva's face. Just as she was about to speak, someone grabbed her waist from behind. Soon after, she could feel the fiery presence of a man by her neck. She didn't even have to turn her head to know that Maddox was hugging her waist. His chin was leaning against her shoulder.
"Hello?"
Vera's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Minerva blinked her eyes and greeted her back stiffly. Then, she did not know what to say.
She had a lot of things to say, but with Maddox behind her, she swallowed all her words back.
"Minerva? What are you calling me for? What's the matter?" Vera's voice sounded very soft as if she was deliberately lowering her voice. Minerva could hear the sound of other people talking around her. Clearly, it wasn't a convenient time for her to call.
