Female Novel
Chapter 359
"Mommy, I'm back." When Beanie came back with the shopping cart, Minerva just finished studyingthe 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 youaround."
"Can I?!" Beanie seemed to be a little excited. He poked his index fingers and pondered, "But thenmy 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 youhave?"
After saying that, she directly put Beanie into the shopping cart. He grabbed the sides of theshopping cart and sat down saying, "Alright then."
Downstairs.
When Maddox and Abigail were done shopping and heading towards the cashier, a few young girlswere staring at Maddox with sparkling eyes. When they thought of his wife and his son, their eyesdimmed again.
After taking back the change, the cashier suddenly noticed that the items that both parties boughtseemed 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 invisiblepressure 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 noone 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 herout.
"My apologies to the two of you. My friend is a little shortsighted. Just now, a lady put her stuff hereand said that she would pass them to her husband. They came in together too, so there's a littlemisunderstanding. I'm really sorry." "It's okay." Abigail shook her head. "Since it's just amisunderstanding, it's now solved. In fact, it's not a big deal either. Alright Maddox, look at yourserious 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 thepeople 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 scaryjust now."
"Yeah, I felt the same way too... that look in his eyes was too appalling. Although this kind of man isgood-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 childjust 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, maybethey're really not related. We'd better not talk nonsense in the future. Just get our job doneaccording to instructions."
"Well, yes."
Minerva and Beanie shopped around for a long time before finally coming back downstairs. Minervafound that she had bought too many things when she was paying the bill. She and Beanie would notbe 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 theyneeded 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 hercarry the things by paying him more money.
When the driver heard that she would pay him more, he immediately rushed over. Hence, Minervaand Beanie only waited for a while. In the process of waiting, Minerva noticed that there was a ladywith 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 morequestions. When the driver arrived to help them carry their things, they then left together.novelbin
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 thencalled 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 andchips tonight?"
Usually, Vera would continue the food discussion with him, but not that day. Not only did she notanswer the question of Beanie, but she said directly, "Beanie, I don't have time to talk about thisnow. Is your mommy next to you? Give your cell phone to your mommy, I have something to tellher."
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 dogrocery 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 leftme 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 onthe 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 inone of the blockbusters. She had managed to get a lot of fans during the premiere of the series andsince then, she even succeeded in her following TV series. She was now known as the hottestactress in the industry as there were many directors who wanted her to play a role in their TVseries. However, it was rumored that she was very arrogant and picky in choosing jobs hence shewould not accept jobs from ordinary directors or scripts.
Back then, when her agent had found Minerva, he had said that he hoped that Minerva coulddesign a set of formal attire for Yvonne but Vera wanted to reject it. However, to Minerva, she didnot agree with that approach.
There was no reason for her to refuse such a big client.
