No matter how smart he was, he was still just a child.
Moreover, it was normal for a child who had grown up without fatherly love to be hostile toward him.
Thinking of that, Maddox's expression softened a little. He said to him, "Get up." Beanie still remained squatted. Maddox sighed and squatted down in front of him. "Come, I'll carry you." He said it very softly, which also touched Beanie's heart.
In fact, he just wanted to make Maddox feel bad for him, but he didn't expect that he would say that.
Hence, all of a sudden, Beanie couldn't bear it and his heart ached.
He felt a lump in his throat. He was a little annoyed. How could he be like that just because of what his daddy said? He was a man. It would be shameful if he cried! Thinking of that, he lowered his head immediately.
However, Maddox had already seen his expression earlier.

He reached out, grabbed Beanie's small arm, and lifted him up.
Although Beanie was so tall that even Minerva could not carry him then, for Maddox, it was still very easy for him to embrace him and lift him with his arms.
Thus, when Beanie was lifted into Maddox's arms, the boy's face immediately changed.
"Bad Daddy, Naughty Daddy! Let go of me! I don't want you to hold me. Letdown!" That was the school gate where people would be passing by later on. How could his daddy carry him like that? What if he was seen by others later on? Beanie did not want his classmates to think of him as a child who still needed his daddy to carry him.
He kept struggling, but Maddox was too strong. He struggled so hard that his father just smacked his bottom. "What's wrong with you? I'm your father. What's wrong with being carried byfor a while?" Beanie got a spank on his bottom and immediately stopped struggling. His body was stiff, and his face quickly turned red.
"It's so embarrassing!" "Embarrassing? What's embarrassing about it?" Maddox said indifferently, "How old are you? You are just starting to grow taller now, so why is it embarrassing to be carried by your father for just a while?" Although Beanie stopped struggling, his face was red.
Looking at his angry face, Maddox pursed his thin lips. He sighed and then put him down before squatting down in front of him. "Can we talk like this then?" Beanie still didn't speak.
"It's my fault for what happened before. I didn't raise you with your mommy, and I even took hold of your mommy by force. It's my fault. I know that I'm wrong. Can you forgive daddy?" When saying those words, Maddox had originally thought that he would find it very difficult to say them out loud. He even thought that he would be unable to say them.
However, when he saw Beanie's teary eyes, he then realized that he was a father.
Beanie and Jelly Bean were both his and Minerva's treasures. They were gifts from God.
"You, Jelly Bean, and your mommy are my most important treasures. No matter what happens, I will definitely value you. Your mommy and I also discussed last night that we will put you and Jelly Bean first in the future, and we will wait for you two to grow up." Beanie blinked his eyes and said, "Really? So, you won't stopfrom getting close to mommy anymore?" "Well," Maddox reluctantly replied, "You are still young. You can cling to her if you want to. Of course, you can also cling toand go to the company witheveryday next time." "Really?" Beanie blinked his eyes and asked naively, "Then, daddy, can you arrange a position forin the company?" Hearing that, Maddox's expression changed a little.
"A position? You're still so young. What can you do?" He did not agree to his request. "Besides, you still have to study. You don't have tto go to the company." "Bad daddy, so what you just said is lying to children and teasing them. I don't want to cling to you, and I will continue to cling to mommy even more. Just leavealone." In fact, he knew that the child in front of him was scheming, but Maddox's heart was still softhearted when he looked at him then. He could only coax him, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a position, but you can't mess around." "Daddy, you're so stingy. If it's my grandfather, he would surely have giventhe whole company without saying another word." "Your grandfather doesn't need to raise anyone while I have to make money for you, your mommy, and Jelly Bean. How would we be the same?" "Hmph." Later, the father and son duo reached an agreement. Maddox gave him a position in the company, but he only had a title and no power. He even had to promise to give Beanie sallowance every month before they reached an agreement.
Since then, Beanie had not seen Mashauva for a week. Although he felt that the little girl was cute, she did not want to come, and he had no intention to purposely go look for her.
A week later, Cassie couldn't bear her daughter's request anymore and shamelessly cto his house. She said that after Mashauva went hthat day, she had been clamoring about her wanting to see he brother, and argued with her every day.
Upon hearing that, Minerva did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Cassie, just let Mashauva cover and play in the future. If you are free, you can just bring her here. It's okay. It's boring forto look after only Jelly Bean at hall day anyway."
She actually wanted to work. Jelly Bean was one year old then and was not as needy as when she was a newborn that heed theeded close attention to be paid to her at all time.
Furthermore, she was always well- behaved. When it was tto sleep, she would obediently sleep. When she woke up, she would lie there and play with her fingers by herself white looking at the ceiling. Anyway, she just would not make a fuss. Other than soiling her diapers, she only cry when she felt changed her into clean and fresh diapers, she would calm down uncomfortable. After uld again.
In short, according to Minerva, although she was still so young, she still loved cleanliness, which was a good thing.
However, Maddox did not want her to go to the company. He wanted her to be a full-thousewife.
Yet, Minerva, as a full-thousewife, did not have to do anything at all. There were way too many servants in Ocean Villa that they cleaned the house until it was spotless everyday. When it was tto eat, everything was ready. There was no need to do anything.
Hence, sometimes she felt extremely bored. If Mashauva could cover, it would be livelier.
However, Cassie was very embarrassed. After all, the difference between the two families was too big. She was afraid that if she often cto the house with her daughter, people would gossip about her trying to cling on to the prestigious people. "I'm really sorry, Mrs. Yardley. If I visit too many times, I would definitely be disturbing you. I've raised my child too, so..." Minerva was a very thoughtful
person. Even if Cassie didn't say it, she still understood what she was thinking. She "Actually, you smiled faintly and said, don't have to worry. The Yardley family doesn't think like that. Kids are pure-hearted. She simply likes to play with Beanie." X
