Both mother and son hid under the blanket and stared at the diamond ring.

"Is it nice?"

Beanie raised his head and met Minerva's expectant and hopeful gaze. There was a faint smile on her pink lips. The smile seemed sincere.

He had lived with his mommy for so many years. Although she often smiled at him, this was a smile he had never seen before.

Although he didn't know much about it.

He swallowed his words, and then he muttered.

"Mommy, you are too easily satisfied."

Easily satisfied?

She did not think so. As long as Maddox was sincere, it was enough for her.

"Silly, I was married to him before. I'm not marrying anyone else."

"But, Mommy, you've been wronged before."

Oh.

She thought about it for a long time and thought the little guy did not understand adult relationships. She could only pinch his nose and said, "There are just a lot of things that are hard for me to explain right now. The only thing you have to remember is that it is my choice."

"Oh, okay. Mommy... If you are wronged, you must tell me. I will handle the bad men for you!"

Maddox was about to enter his room when he heard what Beanie said. As such, he stopped in his tracks and retreated. He stopped at the corner and looked extremely depressed.

This little guy was hostile towards him...

He seemed to hate him very much!
