"I don't have such good genes, alright?"

Mabie listened, then carefully looked at Vera, and then at Beanie. She seemed to be making a comparison.

After a moment, she nodded in agreement.

"You're right. It can't be possible for you to give birth to such a good-looking child..."

Vera was speechless.

Although Mabie was simply stating the fact, how could she say such cruel words to her own daughter? Vera felt annoyed.

Regardless, she explained, "Beanie just returned to the country earlier today. He wanted to see me so I picked him up and brought him here. I'm sending him home later. Other than sending food over, I don't think I have much time to visit here today. Take good care of Dad for me."

Mabie had always wanted to thank Minerva. As she heard Vera say that Beanie was Minerva's son, she quickly nodded her head.

"Alright then. You should bring him around and have fun. Since he just returned to the country, you should treat him to some of the good local food near us. Try to pick the decent ones and avoid the stalls by the side of the road so he doesn't risk getting an upset stomach, Vivy."

Vera answered, "I got it, Mom. I understand."

"Mrs. Zais, I'm not picky about food and Auntie Vera treats me very well. Don't worry about it."

Mabie broke into a smile when she heard that and said, "Oh, look at you being so understanding. You're such a smart and good-looking child. What do your parents look like?"

Mabie could almost imagine what Beanie's parents looked like; they were probably good looking and intelligent too.

Vera had begun to pack up and said, "Alright Mom and Dad, you two should have your meal first. I'm going to bring Beanie out to have some fun and I'll drop by later tonight. Beanie, say goodbye to them." "Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Zais. I'll come to visit again another day."

"Alright."

"Take care, Bruno. Let me know earlier if you're visiting next time so I can prepare a gift for you."
