Maddox was sitting still. Even though he knew that Beanie was acting coquettishly to him in front of Minerva on purpose, he was still his son at the end of the day.
There was no doubt that he could not resist it at all.
"Daddy, is it okay? Daddy..." Beanie kept asking him.
Although Beanie was a boy, he could still compete with girls when it cto his coquetry.
Maddox furrowed his brows slightly. In the next second, he pressed on the little fellow's neck using his large palm and said in a low voice, "You're already almost an adult. Do you still wantto carry you back?" "But after all, I'm still a kid," Beanie replied. He blinked his eyes, looking innocent and sweet.
Maddox twitched the corner of his lips. "Did this kid think that he could do anything at will just because he was just a kid?" He thought to himself.
How about Minerva? She desperately hoped that Beanie and Maddox would let go of their prejudices towards each other. Therefore, when Beanie proposed this request to Maddox, she felt that the child was too understanding.
Hence, before Maddox had even agreed to Beanie, she had already spoken first.
"Then both of you quickly return to your room after finishing the water. Beanie, let your father carry you," she said.
Beanie smiled as he replied, "Sure, Mommy." Maddox did not say anything at that moment, After taking a glimpse of Beanie for a moment, he resigned to his fate in his heart secretly.
"Anyway, they still had a long tahead of themselves, so what did one night mean?" He pondered to himself. When he found an opportunity, he would definitely get to the bottom of the matter.
Just then, there were footsteps coming from the living room. The three of them paused at the stand soon heard Sam's voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hey, why are the lights in the kitchen still on?" He asked.
He got up to get swater. As he was just about to go to the kitchen, he saw that the lights in the kitchen were on. Hence, he decided to walk towards the kitchen.
At that time, Maddox reached out to pick up Beanie and put him into his arms. He then walked out directly. Beanie's shout cfrom his arms, "Ah, bad Daddy, putdown!" Maddox lowered his eyes and then asked, "Didn't you askto carry you back to your room? I'll bring you back right now." Beanie yelled, "You b*stard Daddy! Are you carryinglike this? Daddy is bullying me, Mommy!" Minerva frowned as she looked at him.
"He's still a kid. You have to be gentler," she said.
"Okay," he replied.
He adjusted Beanie in his arms and then directly carried him out of the kitchen without giving him any chance to complain.
Maddox happened to meet Sam, who was about to enter the kitchen. He then greeted him.
Seeing Maddox carrying Beanie in his hand, Sam was stunned for a moment. Then he asked, "Young Master Yardley, what's wrong?" "We got thirsty in the middle of the night so we got up to drink water. We're about to return to our room. Sam, what about you?" Minerva replied.
Perhaps she was feeling guilty about what she had just done with Maddox in the kitchen, so she rushed out of the kitchen to answer Sam before Maddox could say anything.
After answering Sam's question, she looked at Maddox and Beanie with a smile.
"Well, it's cold. You'd better go back to your room and have a rest. I'm going back as well," she then said.
"Then..." Sam said as he scratched his head, "I got up to drink water as well." He was not sure why he was especially thirsty that night. Maybe it was because the heater in the room had been adjusted at a high temperature, or maybe he hadn't even taken a sip of water after he had arrived there.
He thought that the latter was more reasonable.
"Sam, you're also here to have swater. We just finished drinking," Minerva said.
"What a coincidence..." She rushed in the direction of her room. Maddox also left while carrying Beanie in his hand.
Soon, Sam was the only one left on the scene.
He stood alone at the entrance of the well-lit kitchen, with a confused look on his face. After a while, he lowered his head and went into the kitchen, thinking that it was so coincidental as Young Master Yardley's family were all thirsty at the stime.
After going back to her room, Minerva closed the door carefully when she cin. When she turned around, she saw a black shadow in front of her, which scared her a lot.
"Why are you sneaking around in the middle of the night?" Vera asked.
Vera's voice cfrom her front.
With the help of the faint moonlight outside the window, Minerva could see her standing there with a blanket over her shoulders, looking very cold.
"Let's go out to have a glass of water," Minerva said.
Vera replied, "I am also very thirsty." Minerva was confused.
"What's going on? Why are we all thirsty? Is there really something wrong with Vera's cooking? Is that why all of us are thirsty at the stime?" She thought to herself. "Hey, is there any hot water in the kitchen?" Vera asked.
"Yes." Minerva then nodded. Vera walked past her, wearing a blanket over her shoulder and then she opened the door. She was probably in a daze from her sleep. Therefore, it took her quite a while to open the door She did not close the door after that.
Minerva saw her swaying back and forth with her blanket draped over her shoulders.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe wanted to tell Vera that Sam was in the kitchen at that time. However, after thinking about it for a while, she thought that it seemed that there was nothing to remind her.
Vera had no grudge against him.
Thinking of this, Minerva closed the door and then crawled under the warm blanket.
After lying on her bed for a long time, she becvery calm. The picture of Maddox holding Beanie in his arms flashed across her mind. She really hoped that the father and son could get along well in the future.
She then fell asleep quickly.
On the other side, after Maddox took the little fellow back to the house, he put him on the bed and coldly asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
As soon as Beanie laid on the bed, he climbed into the quilt immediately. Then he looked at Maddox with a pair of innocent eyes and asked, "Daddy, What are you talking about?" Maddox looked at the face in front of him that looked exactly like him. However, the face was looking at him with such innocent eyes. In contrast, he seemed like a jerk/ He narrowed his eyes, leaned over and pinched Beanie's cheek directly.
"Don't play dumb. Your mental maturity is not at your age at all," Maddox said.
Although both father and son had only known each other for a short time, how could he not see that this kid was no normal child? He didn't know why he could be so mature mentally, but... it probably had something to do with his life experience.
"Did I let them down in the past?" He wondered.
Otherwise, Beanie would not treat him like that. Even though he said that he did not dislike his daddyland he was close to him, Maddox could feel the slight resistance from him as he got along with his son. Beanie blinked his eyes and he met Maddox's dark eyes for a moment. After a while, his innocent gaze disappeared and he said, "You did not treat Mommy well."
Anyway, there was no need for him to pretend as his mommy was not in there. Even if his daddy who was in daddy who was front of him knew his true identity, so what? No matter what he said, his mother would believe him. Therefore, as long as his father wanted to please his mother, he had to please him first. Upon hearing that, Maddox frowned and asked, "I didn't treat her well? Do you mean... in the past?" He had completely forgotten about the past.
"Yes!" Beanie replied. He nodded heavily and showed a fist with his little hand in the air. "Mommy had suffered a lot because you were too bad in the past!" X
