After all, Benedict had met Beanie in the supermarket back then.
Judging by how smart Benedict was, how could he not figure it out? He even looked into her before.
Hence, it was impossible for him to not know about it.
"Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows. He suddenly forced out a rueful smile. Instead, it gave people a feeling of bone- chilling coldness.
Minerva could feel that something was off about his smile. She was panicking and she held onto his sleeve. "But it's definitely not what you think. I'm not the one who told him about this. He..." "It doesn't matter how he knew it. He still knew it before me. But you... You have been hiding this from me, hoping that I, the biological father, won't find out about this right?" "I..." She was stumped by his words, and there was no way she could refute him.
He squinted his eyes; his gaze was piercing and the vibe he was giving off was cold.
"Am I right?" Minerva lowered her eyes. "It was my plan initially, but it's different now. I....." "That's enough." Maddox interrupted her, but he wasn't mad. His voice sounded calm, but the calmer he sounded, the more frightened she was.

"Do you want to cut off all ties with me?" Minerva asked again. He stared at her, "I'm still thinking about it." What he said made her heart sink a little. Her lips suddenly turned a little paler. "What do you mean by you're still thinking about it?" Did it mean that he was really thinking about it? Minerva tightly grasped the sleeves of his jacket and his sleeves started to crease, "What are you trying to say now? What do you mean you're still thinking about it? You're not happy now because he turned out to be your son?" Maddox stood frozen in place. He did not move an inch.
She stared at him as her grip tightened. "Tell me, have you ever thought about breaking up with me?" As soon she mentioned break up, his gaze moved. He stared at the gorgeous face in front of him. Her clear eyes were filled with anxiety as if a needle pierced right through his chest.
He had never thought about breaking up.
Even when he found out that she was lying to him, he never thought of breaking up with her. This woman in front of him... was the woman of his dreams. He dreamt of her for five whole years. It was not easy for him to finally get her. Why would he break up with her? But... now... His heart was in a mess.
Maddox lowered his head and gradually pushed away from the petite hands that were clutching his sleeves. She was unhappy. She stared at him with wide eyes and refused to let go of his sleeve. He looked up at her and saw tears welled up in her eyes.
He felt a little distressed, but at this moment, his anger overpowered his distress. Finally, he sighed and said, "Let go of me." "I don't want to/ Minerva's eyes were filled with tears. "If I let go, are you going to dump me?" She asked carefully. Maddox stared at her and suddenly said with a sneer, "Even you fear losing me?" Her eyes were wide open. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but she did not shed a tear.
Her eyes were gorgeous. At this moment, the tears in her eyes were glimmering. She shook her head, "Please don't be mad, okay? It's really not what it looks like." It wasn't easy for them to finally get together. Were they really going to separate because of this? Recently, Maddox was the one sticking to her and looking for her. He seemed like the desperate one. However, Minerva knew that the both of them were madly in love with each other.
Even though he had been the proactive one, she had gradually fallen in love with him. She clearly knew this herself.
Furthermore, she had never stopped loving him over the years.
But in the end, Maddox still pulled her hands away. Minerva felt her hands empty as he had already taken a few steps back. "Let methink about it." He looked into her eyes and said clearly, "I'm not sure right now." She said, "When you are done thinking it through... Are you going to leavethen?" Maddox frowned when he heard that.
"I've never said that." "But this is obviously what you are going to do. Isn't it a good thing that Beanie is your son? I thought... Even if you were mad, you would at least be slightly delighted, but I didn't expect..." He was so mad that his rationality was out the window.
Did she misjudge the situation? "Letthink it through." Minerva felt her limbs going weak after hearing what Maddox said. She shut her eyes and leaned her body against the wall, "Alright, I'll give you tto think it through." It was dead silent in the room. After a moment, Minerva opened her eyes again. There was nothing in front of her. Maddox left a long tago.
Although she expected this, she was really disappointed to see him leave. Her legs were weak and she felt that she could not stand up. She then slowly sat down against the wall.
She was unable to sit still as the floor was chilly; maybe it was because of her mental state. Minerva quickly thought of something and got up to go downstairs.
The dining room was empty and there was only a plate of fruit left on the table.

Beanie...
Where was Beanie?
Minerva didn't think much about it and went straight upstairs to look for him. In the end, she bouldn't seem to find him at all. The commotion startled Vera. "What's wrong?" Minerva rushed forward when she saw her.
"Have you seen Beanie? Is he with you?" "What do you mean?" Vera stared at her puzzled, "Wasn't Beanie downstairs? You..." She was in the midst of speaking when she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Minerva in disbelief.
"Don't tell me..."
She didn't dare to finish her sentence.
She covered her mouth with her hand and stared at Minerva in front of her. A moment later, she gradually put down her hand.
"Minerva, Beanie, he..." Minerva stood where she was, smiling bitterly.
"His daddy probably took him away." "What should we do? Should we... bring him back? Or should I call your brother?"
After saying that, Vera immediately took out her phone Minerva stopped her hand as soon as she pressed on the call log. "Don't call." He was already furious. If she called Quill, how would Maddox... perceive her then? "
