"Mommy, I'm back." When Beanie came back with the shopping cart, Minerva just finished studying the design of the clothes. She turned back and bent down to pick Beanie up. "Thank you for your hard work. Now you can take a ride in the shopping cart. I will push you around."

"Can I?!" Beanie seemed to be a little excited. He poked his index fingers and pondered, "But then my image will be ruined..."

"Pfft." Minerva couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. "You're just a kid. What sort of image do you have?"

After saying that, she directly put Beanie into the shopping cart. He grabbed the sides of the shopping cart and sat down saying, "Alright then."

Downstairs.

When Maddox and Abigail were done shopping and heading towards the cashier, a few young girls were staring at Maddox with sparkling eyes. When they thought of his wife and his son, their eyes dimmed again.

After taking back the change, the cashier suddenly noticed that the items that both parties bought seemed to have overlapped somehow. She felt that it was strange but she still politely asked, "Sir, are you going to bring your wife's stuff along? She has already settled the bill."

Maddox lifted up the bag with no expression as if he hadn't heard what she said.

"Sir?"

Abigail heard something and squinted. "Are you talking to him?"

The girl was a little surprised and nodded her head, "Yes."

"You just asked him about his wife?"

The girl was a little confused by Abigail's puzzled eyes. She faltered for a long time before saying, "Just now... There was a beautiful woman behind you with a child. She went upstairs too just now. I... I thought you two were a couple."

Maddox frowned unhappily when he heard that. He then stared intently at the female cashier.

Under his fierce gaze, the female cashier instantly felt a chill right down her spine, and an invisible pressure fell on her shoulders, making her bend her back in an instant.

"Well, that..."

Abigail noticed Maddox's strange mood and smiled awkwardly. "We came in together. There's no one else with us. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"

The people around there saw what happened and quickly went up to the female cashier to help her out.

"My apologies to the two of you. My friend is a little shortsighted. Just now, a lady put her stuff here and said that she would pass them to her husband. They came in together too, so there's a little misunderstanding. I'm really sorry." "It's okay." Abigail shook her head. "Since it's just a misunderstanding, it's now solved. In fact, it's not a big deal either. Alright Maddox, look at your serious face. Do you want to scare them away? Let's go now."

After that, Abigail dragged Maddox out of the supermarket.

After they left, the female cashier stood there with her eyes turning red because of fear, and the people around her comforted her.

"Are you alright?"

The female cashier shook her head and held her arms. "I'm fine, but... he looked so fierce and scary just now."

"Yeah, I felt the same way too... that look in his eyes was too appalling. Although this kind of man is good-looking, he is a block of ice himself. I guess he has zero warmth in him."

"Mm." The girl, who was so frightened that her eyes turned red nodded her head. "But... the child just now looked so similar to him. They..."

"Ah, I'm not too sure either. What on earth is going on? However, looking at his reaction, maybe they're really not related. We'd better not talk nonsense in the future. Just get our job done according to instructions."

"Well, yes."

Minerva and Beanie shopped around for a long time before finally coming back downstairs. Minerva found that she had bought too many things when she was paying the bill. She and Beanie would not be able to carry everything on their own. Thinking of this, Minerva felt a little annoyed.

It was all because of her inexperience in grocery shopping. She only took everything that they needed but didn't consider their ability to carry them after.

In desperation, Minerva had no choice but to order a cab. Then, she asked the driver to help her carry the things by paying him more money.

When the driver heard that she would pay him more, he immediately rushed over. Hence, Minerva and Beanie only waited for a while. In the process of waiting, Minerva noticed that there was a lady with slightly red eyes staring at them, as if there was a little grievance in her eyes.

Although Minerva was a little confused about what was going on, she did not ask any more questions. When the driver arrived to help them carry their things, they then left together.

After Minerva and Beanie left, the girls gathered together and started to gossip again. "What? I thought they were a couple before, but it turns out that they're actually not." "Even if they're not, we do not dare to simply provoke that kind of man too."

Soon after Minerva and Beanie got in the car, Vera called them.

At that moment... Had she finished her work?

"Mommy, let me answer the call! I want to speak to Auntie Vera!"

Minerva handed the phone to Beanie. After Beanie took the phone, he pressed the button, and then called out in a childish voice, "Auntie Vera."

"Beanie? Why is it you?"

"Auntie Vera, I bought a lot of ingredients in the supermarket with Mommy. Shall we make fish and chips tonight?"

Usually, Vera would continue the food discussion with him, but not that day. Not only did she not answer the question of Beanie, but she said directly, "Beanie, I don't have time to talk about this now. Is your mommy next to you? Give your cell phone to your mommy, I have something to tell her."

Beanie could tell from her voice that she was anxious, so he handed the phone to Minerva and said, "Mommy, Auntie Vera seems to have something urgent to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Minerva took over the phone and asked, "Hello, Vera, what happened?"

"Oh, Minerva, please help me! It's already such a critical situation yet you still have the mood to do grocery shopping!"

Minerva raised her eyebrows and said, "What is it? You have not told me yet."

"Let me tell you, didn't I come over to measure Miss Arnold? Do you know what happened? She left me outside for an hour because I was late for one minute!"

Minerva looked out of the window and happened to see a public bus driving past. The posters on the bus had Yvonne Arnold's photos on them, the lady whom Vera mentioned.

Yvonne was one of the current famous female actresses. She became famous ever since her role in one of the blockbusters. She had managed to get a lot of fans during the premiere of the series and since then, she even succeeded in her following TV series. She was now known as the hottest actress in the industry as there were many directors who wanted her to play a role in their TV series. However, it was rumored that she was very arrogant and picky in choosing jobs hence she would not accept jobs from ordinary directors or scripts.

Back then, when her agent had found Minerva, he had said that he hoped that Minerva could design a set of formal attire for Yvonne but Vera wanted to reject it. However, to Minerva, she did not agree with that approach.

There was no reason for her to refuse such a big client.
