"This child is about five years old. Could it be that this child belongs to the Shell family's daughter? Is Young Master Yardley not going to marry Minerva Hanover? Could it bethat the boy is his ex-wife's son?" "I really feel sorry for Minerva if he is his ex-wife's kid. I heard that she is the sister whom Quill has been looking for this entire time? Would Quill be willing to let Minerva beca stepmother?" "They have similar backgrounds but it really puts Minerva on the spot if she becomes a stepmother. Maybe the wedding has more than meets the eye." They were engrossed in the conversation. They got louder as if Maddox was not there.
Initially, he wanted to ignore them. However, their conversations becheated and he frowned at the mention of Minerva. His vibe turned chilly.
"All of you are really mean. Who says that my mother is going to be a stepmother?" Just as Maddox was about to yell at them, a childish voice rang out.
Beanie stared at the crowd and uttered.
"And my mommy taughtthat saying something bad behind someone's back is a bad habit. I shouldn't learn such bad habits." After that, Beanie glanced at Maddox and asked innocently, "Are they bad? Why are they badmouthing Mommy?" Everyone was speechless...
This kid was too eloquent. Did his mother teach him that? He was trying to confront the people who were talking badly about his mother, and he was passive-aggressive enough to direct the conversation at Maddox. He felt there was something familiar about Beanie's gaze. However, he couldn't place his finger on where he had seen that gaze before.
It suddenly occurred to him. Wasn't that gaze similar to his? He would occasionally see this pair of eyes in the mirror. No wonder the gaze was so familiar to him.
This little guy...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe corner of Maddox's lips could not help but curl into a helpless smirk. He patted his head and answered him. "Beanie is right. This is not a good example. Kids shouldn't learn from them. By the way, your mommy won't be a stepmother if she marries me." The crowd was embarrassed by what Maddox said. However, they were immediately caught by surprise at his last sentence.
What did he mean by that? "What did he mean by her not going to be the stepmother? Does this mean that this is Minerva's biological son?" "That's not right... This child is quite grown. How could he be her biological son? If he is her biological son, then Minerva..." "Gosh, is she the Shell family's daughter?" "It's possible. The Hanover family found Minerva five years ago." Everyone was speechless.
Beanie blinked his eyes and looked at the crowd innocently. "Congratulations, you are right. My mommy returned to the Hanover family five years ago, but... because you have not been a good role model, I won't reward you." Maddox caressed the little guy's head and said, "Okay, you are done talking. Let's go home." After that, he reached out his hand to him, wanting to take the little guy away.
Beanie looked at the massive palm, but he did not give him his hand. Instead, he blinked his eyes, ignored the hand, and moved forward.
Maddox was stupefied.
He stared at Beanie's back. "Is he still unwilling to acknowledge me?" Maddox had to get up and catch up with him. Beanie opened the door and sat in the passenger seat himself.
Maddox had no choice but to drive while reminding the little guy to fasten his seat belt.
Beanie turned his head and stared at him, "Sir, is Mommy with you?" Maddox was dumbfounded.
He called him sir again.
"Didn't I tell you to calldaddy? Your mommy and I are getting married next month." "Oh." When the little guy heard that they were getting married, he only replied with an "oh".
Maddox could not help but frown. He felt that Beanie was a little stubborn. This child was more difficult to handle than he imagined.
"What should I do?" After bringing Beanie back to the Ocean Villa, Beanie went to find his mommy. He was sprinting so fast that Maddox couldn't even catch up to him.
As a father, he felt a little depressed. He took out his phone and sent a message to the company's group for help.
The senior executives of the company were all in that group chat. They were getting off work and were ready to eat. However, all their phones rang simultaneously. They took out their phones and saw Maddox's text in the group chat. It caused an uproar.
After all, he rarely appeared in the group chat. Even for work arrangements, Sam was the one who would inform them on his behalf.
Everyone was dumbfounded that Maddox personally sent a text. However, what they were more worried about was the gravity of the matter that Maddox needed to send the message himself. Therefore, everyone stopped whatever they were doing and stared at their phones.
However, they were speechless the moment they saw what he had sent.
Were their eyes playing tricks on them? All of them thought Maddox's text was work-related. Who would have known he was asking a question in the chat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd this question was...
"How do you please a child?"
Why did Young Master Yardley need to please a child? Back then, when he asked what toy a child liked halfway through a meeting, it was already outrageous. But now he asked in the group chat about how to please a child? Just when everyone was thinking about how to answer him, a message suddenly popped up.
"Does the child hate you, Young Master Yardley?" What? In an instant, they saw a notification.
The message was removed.
The talent market manager stared at the removed message with his hands trembling.
Did Young Master Yardley see the message earlier? If he saw it, he didn't know whether he would be furious at him.
The manager of the talent marketing department was very frightened, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Just as he was thinking of saying something to ease the situation, Maddox suddenly sent another message. "Who said I'm being hated?"
When the manager of the talent department saw this sentence, he was so frightened that he almost fainted. Maddox actually saw the message from him? What was going to happen to him?
After giving it sthought, he finally cup with an idea to ease up the situation. As such, he wrote the ways he used to coax his son and sent it to him.
