The mother and son went upstairs. Because Minerva was carrying bags of items in her hands, she had no spare hand for her to open the door. Beanie entered his thumbprint to unlock the door. Beanie was responsible to open the door and then the two of them entered together.

After entering, Beanie caringly took the slippers for Minerva and helped her put them on. Then he said, "Mommy, put the things down and have a rest."

Minerva put on a pair of homemade slippers and went to the fridge. After putting the ingredients she had bought into the fridge, she went to the bathroom to wash her hands. After that, she immediately went back to the bathroom to change into her house clothes.

She was so tired that she collapsed on the sofa.

Walking in the supermarket was really a physical job. Although the supermarket was very close to home, it was still very difficult for a woman to carry so many things.

"Mommy, do your hands hurt? I will help you massage them," Beanie said as he moved to

her side, then grabbed her hands and gently rubbed them with his little ones. He asked, "Do you feel a little better?"

Minerva looked at Beanie with a touched expression.

Who said that only daughters were caring?

Boys were clearly just as caring. It all depended on their personalities.

Beanie was not far off from a caring daughter. Minerva was moved and nodded, "Of course; I feel much better. Thank you, Beanie."

As soon as he was praised, Beanie laughed happily a few times. Then, he stood up and massaged Minerva's shoulders. His movements were neither too light nor too heavy, and his strength was just right.

She felt much more comfortable...

Minerva closed her eyes in a somewhat pleased manner.

In the end, Minerva was so comfortable that she slowly drifted off to sleep. Beanie did not disturb her.

Minerva gradually slipped into dreamland.

When her breathing evened, Beanie gently stepped on the sofa and picked up Minerva's cell phone. The little boy walked step by step to the balcony and then called Quill.

Minerva only felt very tired. Beanie's hands were very soft and because she felt very comfortable, she fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept for but she was vaguely aware of the smell of food drifting over to her.

She didn't know what was going on. She was in a dream, but how could there be the aroma of food?

Could it be...

Minerva suddenly thought of something, and burst awake instantly. When she sat up, the blanket covering her body fell away.

Wasn't she supposed to cook? Why did she fall asleep?

"You're awake?"

Just as she was in thought, a steady male voice came from the front.

Minerva suddenly looked up at the source of the voice, only to replace that Quill was sitting on the sofa opposite her. He set the laptop down on the table and his back was bent as he was just about to deal with some documents.

"Quill?" Minerva didn't expect to see her brother there. For a moment, she was a little shocked.

What time was it? Why was Quill there?

How long had she slept for?

Seeing her confused face and the deep circles under her eyes, Quill felt angry and distressed at the same time. He scolded, "I didn't allow you to go yet you went ahead anyway. Now that you've tortured yourself, what use is all this?"

Minerva felt a little awkward. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she did not respond to him. Instead, she asked a question.

"What time is it? Quill, why have you come?"

"What's wrong?" Quill looked at her and asked calmly. "Can't I come over? And... Didn't you ask Beanie to call me and get me to come over? Didn't you say that you wanted to cook and apologize?"

Minerva didn't know how to answer him.

She bit her lower lip awkwardly. "Quill, I..."

"So, are you going to sleep now that I'm here?"

Quill's words made Minerva's ears turn red. Embarrassed, she reached out to grab her hair and said, "Come on, I don't know why I fell asleep just now. What time is it now? I'm going to cook." After saying that, Minerva wanted to get up and cook. However, when she got up, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have smelled the aroma of food in her sleep just now. At this time, the smell wafted over and it really wasn't good.

Could it be that... Vera was cooking?

"There's no need to, Vera has already started cooking. You can continue to lie down and go back to sleep."

Minerva touched her chin awkwardly, and then slipped into the kitchen without saying a word.

Sure enough, she saw Vera's busy figure and Beanie was helping her in the kitchen.

Seeing her come in, Beanie smiled brightly and said, "Mommy, you're awake."

Minerva held back her urge to speak and nodded. She then looked at Vera and said, "When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up when you saw me sleeping?"

Vera looked at her uneasy expression and couldn't help but laugh. "What's the matter? If I don't wake you up to get busy, you can continue to dream. Isn't it good?"

"It's very embarrassing, okay?" Minerva couldn't help but glare at her when she saw that she was still smiling. "I was about to cook personally, but in the end... I actually fell asleep in the living room."

She also didn't know how long Quill had been sitting opposite her, but he must have certainly seen the embarrassing image of her sleeping.

Thinking of this, Minerva couldn't help but reach out and cover her cheeks with her hands. Her expression was a little pained as she said, "You traitor."

"Hey, you can't blame me. When I came in, your brother was already there. You know what I did before. How would I dare to talk to him? I'm more embarrassed than you, okay? He told me not to wake you up, so how could I do that in front of him? I'll lose face in front of my Prince Charming."

"If you lose, you'll lose it for your own sake."

"Humph, so would you. You don't think about me at all."

They complained to each other in the kitchen and completely forgot that Beanie was just standing next to them.

Beanie was neglected and felt a bit gloomy. However, after thinking about it, he still felt very happy.

"By the way, Mommy, Auntie Vera has already made the fish. Shall we bring the fish to the cat downstairs?"

Speaking of this, Minerva also remembered that she was supposed to feed the cat. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's bring the fish down first."

"Yep!" Beanie nodded hard.

Vera handed over a special plate, on which two fishes had been prepared. She said, "I've already picked out the fishbones. Since you have good intentions and you like them so much, why don't you just take them back with you? Besides, our home is very big and there are only the three of us here. It'll be good to have a few more animals."

Minerva thought for a moment and felt that it didn't sound like a bad idea. "If we want to raise them, we'll have to bring them to the vet for a check-up first. Do you want some pet cats, Beanie?"

Beanie blinked. "Sure."

When they went downstairs with the fishes in their hands, Minerva suddenly remembered that there was a person waiting for her in the hospital.

At that time, she gave Maddox a reply that she would bring him something to eat if she was free.

It was so late now. Could it be possible that he hadn't eaten yet?

After thinking about it, Minerva felt that there was no way that could be the case. After all, he was the boss of the Yardley Corporation. There were many people waiting to please him. How could he let himself starve?
