Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"You don't know? Mashauva was already crying when I arrived at the living room. If you don't know what happened, who does?" Minerva bent down in front of Beanie and questioned, "What happened? I know that you've always been a sensible boy, but Mashauva is a little girl. Did you yell at her?" Beanie turned more agitated after hearing that. He pursed his lips and said, "No, mommy. I saw her eating too much, so I just told her not to do it." At that time, Beanie felt that there was nothing wrong with his tone, but he had made her cry.

"Is that it?" Minerva recalled for having told Mashauva off a couple of times for snacking and eating too much of sweet foods, but she seemed fine with it.

Why did she cry after Beanie lectured her just once? "Well, was your tone too harsh then?" Minerva could only took a random guess, thinking from different perspectives.

"I don't think so." "Did you look mad?" "Mommy..." "I'm not blaming you for this. I just want to know what happened then. That's all. After all, Mashauva did cry because of you. She's just a kid, and she loves spending twith you as well. Well, since you won't tell me, I won't keep pressing on. Mashauva might forget all about it by tomorrow." With that, Minerva stroked Beanie's head, "Well, don't overthink. Go to bed." After Minerva had left, Beanie sat by the bed alone, thinking about what had happened that night. What had he done wrong? He eventually stopped thinking about it and lay down, and fell asleep.

His dreams the entire night were haunted by Mashauva's cries, and he slept poorly. His face was even slightly haggard when he woke up the next day.

Were girls so fragile? Beanie couldn't believe it, so he went to look for Jelly Bean in the morning and used his previous expression and tone he had used to talk to Mashauva the last night to talk to her.

Jelly Bean tilted her head to look at him before she burst out giggling.

The corners of Beanie's mouth twitched. How could he forgot that his sister was different from ordinary people? Also, she was too young to be of any use.

At the thought of that, Beanie flicked Jelly Bean's forehead with his finger.

"Stop laughing. If you keep doing it, mommy will start worrying about you being a fool again." In fact, Minerva had indeed been worried about that problem and had brought Jelly Bean to hospitals for examinations, but every examination cback with normal results. In the end, they chalked it up to Jelly Bean being born as a bright and cheerful little girl.

Of course, Beanie felt that way too, and hoped that it was indeed the case.

In that way, his sister wouldn't be constantly troubled in the future.

"Beanie." Jelly Bean grabbed his finger towards her mouth and bit on it before she giggled once more.

"Oh boy..." Beanie sighed and picked her up, "Are you sleepy? Shall I bring you back to your room?" "All right." Jelly Bean was taken back to her slumber by Beanie right after she'd just woken up.

It was the weekend, and usually, Cassie would personally bring Mashauva over, but the day was filled with quietness, and they didn't show up that day.

No one showed up even as noon approached.

Minerva couldn't help paying more attention to Beanie because of what had happened the previous day. However, she was relieved upon noticing that he seemed to be fine and just the sas usual.

After their meal, Cassie called to inform Minerva that she wouldn't be going over that day as there were guests over at her house. After Minerva ended the call, she turned to Beanie, who was standing aside, and announced, "Mashauva has quests athtoday, so she won't be coming over." "Oh, I see." Beanie turned around and walked away. That was obviously an excuse not to cto their house.

Well, if she insisted on not coming, Beanie was fine with it. Mashauva's temper was already so bad although she was still a child, what would happen when she got older? Mashauva did not show up either the next day, but the Yardley family went on with their lives as usual. Maddox was initially worried that Beanie would stick around Minerva without Mashauva's presence, but Beanie was different right then. He had becobedient, and would head back to his room after his meal, and sometimes he would take care of Jelly Bean. Of course, Maddox was rather satisfied with that.

Mashauva did not cthe day after that either, and she did not show up for a whole week. Cassie would call every day to apologize with an excuse that they couldn't come, and Minerva pretended that all was well.

Minerva hadn't expected Mashauva to throw such a huge tantrum, but as she thought about it, Mashauva was just a little girl. She wouldn't hold a grudge for too long no matter how bad her temper was. Hence, could it be the Taylors who thought that Mashauva was bullied at their house, and refused to bring her over?

Minerva sighed at the thought of that.

If that was the case, then there was really nothing she could do. After all, if Cassie didn't say anything, it would just be inappropriate for her to ask about it first. Just when Minerva thought that Mashauva wouldn't cover again, Cassie brought the little girl over the next day. When Cassie arrived, she sheepishly explained the situation to Minerva.

"I'm so sorry, Minerva. Mashauva's just too stubborn, and she refused to cwhen I wanted to bring her over previously. When she woke up this morning, she finally toldshe wanted to cplay with Beanie and Jelly Bean." "It's fine. Was she mad the whole time?" Minerva was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah. She has a horrible temper, but she didn't throw a tantrum at home. Instead, she was sulking the whole time, deep in thoughts, and she's cut down on snacks." Gassie said white she nodded. Minerva glanced at the little girl and realized that Mashauva was subconsciously avoiding her gaze. She extended her hand towards Mashauva and said, e "Mashauva, can you givea hug?" After all, Mashauva was just a child. When she noticed Minerva talking to her in such a gentle tone, she extended her arms to her.

Minerva carried Mashauva over and said, "You've indeed gotten lighter, so it looks like you've really cut down on spacking, Mashauva, tellif Beanie was mean to you. I'll punish him for you." Mashauva shook her head and denied it softly, "No, Beanie didn't do anything to bully Mashauva." At that, Mashauva still seemed unwilling to say talk about it, so Minerva didn't probe into it. She continued to carry her while chatted with Cassie for a while, then Cassie left.

Minerva carried Mashauva in the living room with Jelly Bean there, and took out puzzles for them to play with. Then, she reminded them, "These are to play with, not to eat, all right? You might choke if you put it in your mouth, got it?" The two girls raised their heads and nodded in unison after hearing what Minerva had said.

"Good." At that moment, Beanie descended the stairs. Hearing his footsteps, Mashauva, who had initially been rather relaxed, instantly tensed up. She sat up straight and seemed nervous.
