Minerva was speechless.

She could not help but lower her head to look at Beanie, her eyes filled with doubt.

Where did this little guy learn these things from? Why was he so fond of gossiping about adults at such a young age? Moreover, she had only suspected that Sam might like Vera since the previous night. Why did he seem to know it earlier than she did?

Soon, under Minerva's gaze, he immediately revealed the matter.

"Daddy told me."

Beanie had betrayed his daddy.

She asked, "Did your Daddy say that?"

"Yes, Daddy told me, so... Mommy, is what Daddy said true?" He asked.

Minerva furrowed her beautiful brows. She didn't expect Maddox to gossip with her son. She didn't expect a man to gossip in such a way, even about these things...

"Don't listen to his nonsense. When the time comes, I will scold him. Don't take his words seriously. Also, children better not ask too much about adults' matters. It's best if you don't talk about it in front of your uncle, Auntie Vera, and Sam, or they'll be embarrassed. Do you understand?"

"Oh." Beanie nodded cleverly and said, "Got it, Mommy."

He wouldn't be that obedient though.

For a moment, the mother and son went back to their rooms with different thoughts.

Vera's fever had already gone. Other than feeling a little dizzy, she did not feel that anything else was wrong. Moreover, she did not know anything about her fever. She only thought of it as a headache after she was drunk.

Hence, she didn't think so much. She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to cook.

When Sam came in, she was washing some fruits with her hands.

Just like that, her fair and tender hands reached out into the cold water.
