Upon hearing the sound, Minerva quickly looked up towards the door.

Maddox was dressed in a dark suit. He probably just came back, but where had he been?

This was her first thought when she saw him.

However, when she caught sight of a smaller Maddox on the screen out of the corner of her eye, her expression changed slightly. She pretended to be calm and moved the mouse to turn off the video.

The call was suddenly cut off. Beanie was still blinking over the phone, but Minerva suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

Beanie looked at the screen where his mommy's face was before she disappeared and blinked his eyes innocently. Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Vera, who was sitting on the sofa. She was munching away at an apple.

"Auntie Vera, why has the video disappeared?"

She swallowed a bite and let out a cry. Then, she got up and walked behind Beanie. After scrolling for a bit, she saw that a message had been sent from Minerva.

She thought for a moment and then said to him, "Beanie, your mommy's line is not very good so the video automatically cut off."

"The line isn't good?" He looked at Vera innocently.

With such an innocent look in his eyes, she felt guilty when she looked at him, so she didn't dare to meet his eyes. She could only look away and coughed lightly.

"Try to understand, Beanie. After all, your mommy is staying in a hotel abroad. Perhaps the signal there is unstable. Let's video call your mommy later. It's getting late. You should take a bath and do your homework."

Beanie was reluctant; he pouted and snorted.

"Unstable? When we were abroad previously, we stayed at a few hotels as well, but how come the signal was always stable then?"

"You," Hearing this, Vera immediately straightened her face and said, "What are you talking about? If I said it's unstable then it's unstable. Are you doubting my words?"

"Humph!" He snorted again and raised his face to look at her, "Auntie Vera, you're being fierce to me. When Mommy comes back, I will tell her."

"Oh, you've learned how to complain now? Go tell her then. You think I'm afraid of her? Let's see if your mommy will scold me or not."
