"Mommy, you're my favorite person."

Minerva was startled by his words. Beanie leaned over and kissed her on her cheek.

"I will listen to whatever you say."

Those were the warmest words but somehow, she felt a sting in her heart and her eyes felt moist. She didn't want to scare him with her reaction so she pulled him into her arms and hugged him. "Beanie, you're such a good boy. You're my favorite person too."

"No, that can't be!" He shook his head vigorously and added, "I can't be your favorite person. Daddy will be angry."

"What?" She looked at him in surprise. "What did you say?"

"The last time you said that I was your favorite person, bad Daddy became angry. After that, he didn't let me go into your bedroom."

When he mentioned this, Minerva felt her face burning hot. That time, Maddox had left Beanie outside the room because he was pressing her against the door and kissing her aggressively. She truly did not wish for that to happen a second

She coughed softly and said, "Well Beanie, you shouldn't hold a grudge against your daddy just because of that. He was just joking around with you. You are my and your daddy's precious little Beanie. He loves you very much too."

Hmph! As if! Beanie knew that his daddy only loved his mommy.

However, that was good enough for him.

"So, should we settle on this decision then? Beanie, I'm only asking for your opinion, not giving you instructions. If you're unhappy with this arrangement, you can let me know and we can work on it based on your interest. We will make it the best of both worlds, okay?"
