In Ocean Villa.
"Your Auntie Vera's and Uncle Quill are getting married in two days. Have you gotten all your things prepared? Have you informed your teacher that you won't be attending classes that day?" "Of course, mommy. You don't have to worry about me." "Good. You always hoped for your Auntie Vera to be your Uncle Quill's wife. Now that it's coming true, are you happy?" Beanie snorted and said, "She doesn't care aboutanymore now that she has Uncle." In other words, he wasn't as happy as he thought he'd be. Minerva laughed as she patted his head. "Your Auntie Vera is busy getting the wedding ready. Just wait until she gives birth. She'd be even busier. So no need to be so upset now. There'll be more opportunities for you in the future." Hearing that, Beanie couldn't help saying, "What mother would crush their son like this?" "Oh, if you tell your father this, he'd probably be harsher." Beanie was speechless.
Forget it. They were his biological parents, after all. It was best that he let it go.
"Mommy, will Jelly Bean be following us to the wedding?" "Of course. It's your uncle's wedding. Of course, Jelly Bean has to go." "I see." Just then, the door was pushed open, and Maddox walked in, straight-faced. However, after realizing Beanie was in the room, he was displeased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are you here?" Seeing the expression on his father's face, Beanie grew upset. Not only did his mother just crush him, but his father also showed a look of contempt as soon as he realized he was in the room. He'd definitely scold him for robbing mummy from him again! Beanie snorted and said, "Mum askedto cover!" "Yes, I called him here to ask him about the preparation for my brother's wedding." "You're done asking, aren't you?" Maddox then glanced at Beanie and said, "Go back to your room and study then." Beanie ignored him and turned to hold Minerva's arm. "Mommy, I want to sleep with you tonight." Hearing that, Minerva was a little surprised. "Huh? Why?" "I'm scared to sleep alone. Take Jelly Bean with you and sleep in my room, please?" Beanie even shook Minerva's arm, pleading. However, Minerva found it strange and asked him, "What's going on with you? Haven't you always slept alone? You never said you're afraid." Minerva didn't notice the undercurrents between the father and son but only thought Beanie's behavior was strange. After all, she had never heard him say he was afraid of sleeping alone. Could it be that something had happened to him recently? Just when she was about to ask, Maddox's ruthless words traveled to her ears.
"You are a man. Aren't you ashamed of saying you are afraid? Don't tell people you're my son then." Hearing what he said, Beanie grew angry and refuted him, "So are you saying I'm not yours, but someone else's son?" Maddox's gaze darkened slightly as he narrowed his eyes and stared at Beanie.
"Don't tell people you're your mother's son either." "Mommy didn't say I can't say it, did you, Mommy?" Minerva rolled her eyes at the father and son's bicker. How childish. It seemed like Beanie's plea for her to sleep with him was a lie.
She sighed helplessly, then looked at the baby sleeping next to her.
Jelly Bean woke up at spoint and looked at her with her gorgeous eyes, like the starry sky after the rain, unusually bright.
For sreason, she suddenly smiled at Minerva with her mouth agape.
It was fine if she didn't smile, but when she did, she looked a little silly.
Alas, looking at her baby girl, Minerva felt extremely worried. She really hoped her daughter wasn't actually a little dummy. How worrying.
The day before the wedding, Vera went back to her parents' place, as it was tradition for the couple not to see each other the day before the wedding.
As Vera was getting married the next day, Mabie abandoned her husband that night and slept with her daughter. The mother and daughter huddled together in the small bed. Vera was too nervous, so she couldn't sleep at all and kept asking Mabie to talk to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Mabie had always been carefree, so even when Vera was getting married the next day, she could sleep without worry. Hence, she kept falling asleep while Vera was trying to talk to her. When Vera realized she didn't respond, she would even nudge her awake.
"Mom, mom?" "Huh, yes? What did you say just now?" Hearing that, Vera rambled on. Toward the end of her words, she noticed Mable fell silent again.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep et she didn't want to bother her anymore. However, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how So she couldn't help pad she tried, her mother's arm.
"Mom." At first, Mabie did not respond. But as Vera continued to poke her, she woke up. Mabie looked at her daughter blearily.
"What?" "Mom, don't sleep. Let's talk a little more." Looking at Vera's puppy-dog eyes, Mabie thought her daughter was getting married the next day, after all, so she decided to talk to her for a little while longer.
"Vivy, you're getting married tomorrow. You'll look horrible if Sleep nowl don't sleep now do want to chat, but we have to get up early tomorrow. It's best if we sleep as much as we can." Hearing that, Vera shook her head hard and said, "But I can't fall asleep."
"You're thinking too much. I wasn't this nervous when I got married. Just think about it if you don't get enough NO sleep, you won't look good tomorrow, and the guests will see how horrible you look. Do you want that?". What Mabie said was quite frightening. Vera kept silent for a while before saying, "Mom, it's even harder forto fall asleep now with you scaringlike that." "You brat, are you going to letsleep or not?"
"I am nervous. I can't sleep. Mom, why does it feel like a dream? Am I really getting married? Hadn't I just cback to Hidalgo?"Vera said while rubbing her eyes, looking at Mabie with confusion. Seeing her like this, Mabie suddenly thought of what she was like as a child. Just like now, Vera was sleeping by her side, rubbing her eyes as she said, "Mom, is the sun already up?" How history repeated itself. Mabie stretched out her hand and caressed her daughter's head as she did back then. "Silly girl, don't think too much." X
