Jarold noticed that he was about to turn around. At first, he was still thinking about whether or not his thoughts were reliable. When he went back home, he wanted to find another person to investigate whether this child was...
Before this idea could fade away, he saw Beanie's face as he had turned around.
That face...
Jarold's pupils dilated as he stared at Beanie in disbelief.
For a moment, he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. Otherwise, it was probably because he was too worried about his grandson which was why he saw the child's face as Maddox. However, it was clearly a child's face.
Although he looked exactly the sas Maddox, he was still a child. His eyes were dark, clear, and bright, which represented the purity and innocence of a child.
He looked at Maddox again. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's and dark. However, there was no warmth at all. "Huh?" Beanie's gaze met Jarold's thick and turbid gaze. The little fellow immediately asked with a curious face, "Who is this old man?" Actually, he already knew his identity.
However, if he showed it in front of the adults, they would definitely be astonished.
Although Abigail hated Jarold, Beanie was the one who had asked the question. He was still a child who hadn't grown up yet. She didn't dare to insult him in front of Beanie, or else she would be a bad role model for the child.
After all, he was still young. He was still learning and he could imitate adults' movements.
She couldn't insult Jarold, but she wouldn't introduce him either, so she turned her head to the other side. There was a moment of silence in the room, and Jarold's trembling voice could be heard.

"I can't believe that he and that woman already have a child. Also, he is already grown up," he pondered to himself.
Minerva smiled and said softly to the boy, "Beanie, he is your daddy's grandfather." She didn't dare to tell him that Jarold was his great grandfather. What if he wasn't willing to be acknowledged as such? What if he heard her words and wasn't happy? She just told him about the relationship between him and Maddox.
Whether Jarold was willing to acknowledge this child or not, it was not particularly important to her.
"Daddy's grandfather?" Beanie blinked his eyes and glanced at Jarold innocently, "Mommy, do I need to call him 'Great-Grandpa'?" She paused for a moment and slowly looked at Jarold.
His eyes were filled with agitation as he walked over step by step. He was so agitated that he couldn't even speak coherently. "Yes... I'm your great grandfather. You... you..." After saying the word "you" for a long time, Beanie suddenly stretched out his hands to him.
Jarold was dumbfounded.
"Th-This is..." He asked.
Maddox's face was emotionless and his voice was cold.
"He wants you to hug him," Maddox pointed out.
Jarold didn't react in time.
He didn't expect that both of them actually had a child, and... this child actually had actually asked for a hug when they first met.
"Huh?" When Beanie saw that he did not respond for a long time, his little face becdistressed. He peered at Jarold and then looked at Minerva, "Mommy, does Great-Grandpa not like me? That's why he doesn't want to hug me..." She was lost for words.
"This little fellow has askeda tough question," she thought to herself.
"I'm in a very awkward situation, so how can I answer it? If I say that he doesn't like him, I will offend him. However, I can't say that he likes him..." "Bad boy, don't you know how to ask your daddy? You scolded him for being a bad Daddy, but you didn't ask him a tough question," she thought.
Just as Minerva was silently saying these words in her heart, Jarold's voice trembled as he spoke.
"No, no... Why... would I hate you?" He forced himself to calm down. He said a complete sentence to Beanie with difficulty. At the stime, he stretched out his hands towards the child. "Chere, lethug you." Beanie blinked his eyes and stared at him without any movement.
Jarold's hands were frozen in mid-air. When he noticed that Beanie had been staring at him, he becnervous all of a sudden, "Are you mad because of what had happened just now? I didn't do it on purpose just now. I..." Before he could finish his sentence, Beanie stretched out his hand and pounced on him unexpectedly. Jarold quickly caught him and held him in his arms.
He was old and his legs were not as strong as young people, so he usually used a crutch. However, he could still stand while holding Beanie.
After holding the child in his arms, Jarold felt his heart beating faster and faster. He was old, but he was still very vigorous. Although he tried his best to cover it up, his hand was still trembling slightly. The little guy in his arms...
was...
his...
great grandson.
He was his family member.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was his family member apart from Abigail and Maddox.
There was a lump in his chest and throat, causing him to be unable to make any sound. After being held in his arms, Beanie wrapped his arms around Jarold's neck in a fawning manner and he looked extremely obedient and cute. Indeed, Beanie knew that his great grandfather had troubled his mother. He had heard Auntie Vera mention this before, but she did not want to say anything further.
Therefore, he thought about it again and again, and then he decided to look for his mother. He wanted to uphold justice for her, to subdue his father and great grandfather! Seeing this scene, Abigail couldn't help but complain softly.
"Is it really necessary? It's like you've not hugged a child for several lifetimes..." Although she was complaining, she looked quite helpless.
As for Minerva, she had witnessed Jarold's agitation. She curled her lips up and there was a hint of warmth in her gaze. She had never thought that he would be so fond of Beanie. Furthermore, he seemed to be very startled. "Will he still insist on his previous action after he found out that Maddox and I already have a child?" She pondered to herself.
Jarold held Beanie in his arms carefully. He didn't dare to exert force with his hands, as if he was afraid that he would break the little fellow in his arms with a little force.
It took him a long tto get his voice back. He asked Beanie in a hoarse voice.
"Good boy, callGreat-Grandpa." Beanie opened his mouth wide, revealing a row of clean and white teeth. He looked at Jarold obediently and called out.
"Nice to meet you, Great- Grandpa. My nis Bruno. You can also callBeanie just like my mommy." These words stabbed deeply into the bottom of Jarold's heart.
Holding the child in his arms, he suddenly felt his vision becomeblurry. He was quite frantic, "Is it vision began to grow darker and because I'm dreaming?" However, his darker... In the end... Maddox was standing nearby and his expression changed. He lifted his hand to support Jarold.
He was too agitated, so he passed out.
