This was the first time Maddox had spoken so patiently to a child. Even he himself did not realize that his tone had softened slightly.

"If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have saved me just now. Thus, I believe you are a good person."

Maddox raised his eyebrows and did not reply.

Seeing that he did not speak, Beanie thought for a moment and asked, "Are you here for the banquet as well?"

"Yes." Maddox pursed his lips and nodded.

"But why are you wearing a mask? It's not a masquerade today."

Maddox's thin lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc. He asked in a low voice, "Why don't you tell me the reason why you are wearing a mask first?"

"Uncle, you are so sly. I'm the one who asked you first."

Maddox glanced at the little fellow in front of him and felt that his words were especially interesting and smart.

'Whose child is this?" "Why is he alone here? Where's that rich mommy of his that he was talking about?"

Maddox was about to ask him when the music started playing at the banquet. Beanie exclaimed, "The banquet is about to begin."

Maddox glanced at the time and let out a "Hmm".

He looked at Beanie again and thought that he had almost ruined his purpose of coming to the banquet that day. His purpose was definitely not to chat with a child.

However, before he could speak, Beanie stated, "Uncle, thank you for helping me today. I'll repay you in the future if I have the chance. I'll leave first."

Before Maddox could react, Beanie had already run away. Then, Beanie stopped and waved at him. He waved his tender and fair hands forcefully in the air before running away.

Staring at the spot where Beanie had disappeared, Maddox's dark eyes seemed to convey his deep thoughts.
