As soon as Maddox exited the car, he went inside.

A small figure was leaning against the door. The figure looked at him with displeasure and sought to block his path.

"Daddy, you're really such a copycat. You clearly had a meeting to attend but skipped it. How could you follow us here and shirk your responsibilities?"

The person who spoke was Beanie.

The little fella was tall and gangly, yet he looked way too short when standing side-by-side with Maddox. Beanie wasn't going to lose. He thought to himself that he had to eat and exercise more so that he would tower over Maddox after growing up.

When he heard that, an icy smile appeared on Maddox's lips. He walked up to the little guy and reached out to place his hand on his head.

Beanie didn't take it lying down. He struggled to push Maddox's hand off him, but there was no way that a child's strength could compare to an adult's.

Thus, Beanie's only choice was to have his head pressed on by Maddox.

Seeing that his son was unable to escape, Maddox couldn't hold back his laughter. "How dare you speak to me like that when you can't even break free from my palm?"

Beanie was thoroughly infuriated!

He glared at Maddox and suddenly yelled, "Mommy, look! Daddy is bullying me!"

After hearing Beanie call for his mom, Maddox stopped with a speed faster than lightning. He quickly returned to how he usually was, as if it was a completely different person who was just taunting Beanie. Beanie took that opportunity to run away after Maddox let go.

Maddox scrutinized the place and found that Minerva wasn't there at all. The little guy who had been in front of him had already slipped away.

Such a cunning son.

Was Beanie really his son? Apart from his looks, he didn't have any similarities with him at all. How could Beanie be so cunning at such a young age? He even wanted to hog Maddox's woman all to himself. It seemed that he had to pick out a future fiancee for Beanie to focus on so that he would not squabble with him for Minerva's attention.

After noticing that Maddox was there, Vera immediately let out a sigh internally. It was fortunate that her mother had the foresight to ask her to cook more. Otherwise, there might not have been enough food for everyone.
