Both mother and son hid under the blanket and stared at the diamond ring.
"Is it nice?"
Beanie raised his head and met Minerva's expectant and hopeful gaze. There was a faint smile on her pink lips. The smile seemed sincere.
He had lived with his mommy for so many years. Although she often smiled at him, this was a smile he had never seen before.
Although he didn't know much about it.
He swallowed his words, and then he muttered.
"Mommy, you are too easily satisfied."
Easily satisfied?
She did not think so. As long as Maddox was sincere, it was enough for her.
"Silly, I was married to him before. I'm not marrying anyone else."
"But, Mommy, you've been wronged before."
Oh.
She thought about it for a long time and thought the little guy did not understand adult relationships. She could only pinch his nose and said, "There are just a lot of things that are hard for me to explain right now. The only thing you have to remember is that it is my choice."
"Oh, okay. Mommy... If you are wronged, you must tell me. I will handle the bad men for you!"
Maddox was about to enter his room when he heard what Beanie said. As such, he stopped in his tracks and retreated. He stopped at the corner and looked extremely depressed.
This little guy was hostile towards him...
He seemed to hate him very much!
Minerva stayed in Ocean Villa for another two days and didn't go to work. All she did was eat and sleep over the past few days. When she looked in the mirror, her face seemed chubby.
She pinched the flesh around her waist and began to worry.
Should she lose weight?
Just as she was thinking, Quill called.
"Quill?" Minerva was a little surprised but also nervous. She had a hunch that it wasn't something good for him to call her right then.
After all, she just returned home a few days ago and asked for her account book, but he refused to hand it over to her.
Quill's indifferent voice echoed from the other end of the phone.
"You've been with Maddox for the past few days?"
Minerva tried her best to figure out what he was feeling through his tone. After contemplating, she couldn't seem to tell what he was thinking...
He seemed too calm to be angry.
However, there was something wrong with that calmness.
He shouldn't be so calm and indifferent.
"Yes..."
Minerva nodded her head honestly.
"Do you really love him? Have you forgotten what happened five years ago?"
She froze.
"Quill, I..."
"Answer me when you've thought it through."
She took a deep breath. Without even thinking about it, she said, "Quill, if I could forget it, I would have forgotten it five years ago. Now, I've reconciled with him. Isn't this the best proof that we are in love? I need not say more."
