Anyone who saw such a well-educated and well-behaved child would love him. Benedict was no exception.

However, when this child's face was the same as Maddox's, things became different.

A hint of darkness flashed through his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. Benedict smiled and rubbed Beanie's head lovingly. "You're welcome. Your Mommy and I are old friends. It's no big deal. If you'd like, I'll bring you to the amusement park next time." "Okay, thank you Uncle Ben. I'll go now."

Beanie picked up his fruit cake and soon left the bakery.

Minerva was a little worried. She only let out a sigh of relief when she saw him walk into the car and close the door.

As she was about to leave, she heard Benedict's voice behind her.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I told you a long time ago that I meant no harm, be it to you or to the child."

Minerva kept quiet.

She froze for a second, then turned around and glared at Benedict coldly.

"Then, Mr. Benedict, do you still remember? I've told you a long time ago that I don't want to be involved between you and Maddox."

Hearing this, Benedict frowned. There was a look of helplessness on his face.

"Why do you think so of me? Five years have passed. If I wanted to fight with him, I would have done it back then. Why would I wait until now?"

"Then what do you mean now?" Minerva sneered, "I could've believed that it was just a coincidence in the supermarket the last time, but what about this time? You happened to pass by Beanie's school and brought him here for cake? Do you plan to win his favor just because he's a defenseless child?"

Minerva interrupted Benedict as he was about to speak.

"Don't rush to explain. Things may be coincidental, but it's impossible for them to happen repeatedly. Even if you want to scheme against me and take advantage of me, you should restrain your emotions. You shouldn't appear in front of me like this."
