At night.

There was only a small lamp in the room. Minerva sat on the bed after washing up and changing into her pajamas.

Normally, she would be asleep at this hour, but she didn't feel sleepy at all that evening.

Under the dim light, a golden button was shining faintly in her hand.

Perhaps because the night lamp was emitting a warm light, the color of the button looked warm as well.

She stared at the button in her hand, slightly lost in thought.

This button was left in her pocket by a mysterious man on that rainy night five years ago.

Thinking of this, Minerva tightened her grip around the button and her thoughts began to drift away.

In the past, she had asked Sylvia to find the whereabouts of the owner of this button. However, after checking around, the result turned out to be Benedict.

This news had almost scared Minerva to death. It even made her feel guilty in front of Maddox.

Although she didn't mention it, she had always been certain that Beanie was likely to be Benedict's son. Therefore, she had been avoiding Benedict like he was the plague. That was, until Beanie was born and slowly grew up.

His facial features were becoming more and more like Maddox.

The doubts that stemmed from her heart, turned into disbelief and then to shock.

It was ridiculous.

Even if Beanie was Benedict's child and he had inherited the Yardley family's genes, it was impossible for him to look exactly like Maddox.

Therefore, Minerva even suspected that the mysterious man from that night was actually Maddox.

However, Maddox kept insisting that she was pregnant with an illegitimate child when she entered the Yardley family.
