Chapter 364
Hearing that, Vera immediately raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Do you need to be thisrealistic? Even if I know that I will grow old, it's not up to you to talk about it. Beanie, you cannot dothis to me right after eating my fish and chips. Don't you want me to cook for you in the future?"
Feeling that his future meals were threatened, Beanie immediately changed his tone, "I was wrong.Auntie Vera, you will still be a beauty even when you are old."
Those words were very pleasing to Vera, and only then did she nod her head in satisfaction.
"I'll forgive you then, and I'll still make you fish and chips next time."
She didn't notice that Beanie covered his chest with his hands when he said this, as if hisconscience was hurt.
Seeing that, Minerva reached out to pinch Beanie's cheek and said in a low voice, "Naughty boy."
That night, the three of them packed up their belongings and got into the car sent by Quill beforeheading to North City.
Vera was Minerva's assistant, so of course she would also follow her. Although it was a little strangefor her to do so, she did not care much.
Vera's idea was that it was too lonely for her to stay alone in that apartment hence she wanted to gowith them. If worse came to worst, she would say that Beanie liked to eat her cooking and she wasthere to cook for him.
Thinking of this, Vera's heart was filled with joy.
Meanwhile, Maddox was heading back to North City.
Abigail came out to see him off. "Are you sure you don't want to stay here for two more days?You've been driving for so long to get here and now you're leaving after only two days?"
Maddox heard her and glanced at her unhappily.
"I still have work to do."
"Is work more important than your aunt? Ah, what an unfilial child. Go, go ahead. Drive carefully."
"Okay."
"Well, you young people are all stubborn. It's dangerous to drive in the middle of the night, and yetyou cannot wait until it's daytime to depart."
Maddox pursed his thin lips tightly. He ignored Abigail's scolding and got into the car.
After a while, he said coldly, "There's no traffic jam at night so it'll be a smooth journey."
"Goodbye."
Abigail stood at the same spot and watched the car leave. The streetlights casted her long shadowon the ground. When the night breeze blew the silk scarf on her shoulder, Abigail could not helpsighing. She didn't know how long it would take for Maddox to truly open his heart and accept otherwomen.
Kimberly Shell...
That name had already disappeared from his life for five years, and had not appeared again.
Abigail didn't know where she had gone, but she actually liked Kimberly very much. However...maybe they were just not fated to be together.
"Well, let's just leave it to fate then," thought Abigail.
At her age, she no longer had the strength to force anything.
Thinking of this, Abigail wrapped the scarf around her neck and turned to go upstairs.
Everyone thought that the midnight journey would be very smooth, but somehow, there was anexplosion on the highway at midnight which completely blocked the road ahead.
Minerva and the others were quite far away from the explosion. They only heard the sound of anexplosion before all the cars in front of them stopped. Vera was originally leaning against the chairto sleep, but when she was suddenly awakened by the sound.
Minerva saw a burst of flames soaring into the sky in front of her, which was shocking to see. Shesubconsciously reached out and hugged Beanie who was beside her.
"F*ck, what's going on?" Vera wound down the car window and poked her head out. She wasterrified when she saw the blazing fire in front of her.
"Gosh, what happened in front of us?" She immediately retracted her head and looked at Minerva."Minerva, should we abandon our car and leave this place? It feels so dangerous here."novelbin
The flames were not far away. Minerva turned her head and looked at the long car queue behindthem. She felt that it was not really safe to stay there either.
Hence, she nodded and said in a low voice, "Nash, lock the window first, and then let's get out ofthe

car.
Nash turned off the car engine and nodded.
After they got out of the car, the passengers in the car behind them also came out of their car afterseeing them do so.
Humans all had an instinct to avoid danger. Everyone would cherish life, unless they had otherthoughts.
Hence, in a short while, there were a lot of people standing on the highway.
"Go back and try to get as far away from the explosion as possible."
Everyone followed the crowd and walked back, and more and more people joined in on thehighway.
Very soon, the siren of a police car rang.
After the police arrived at the scene and investigated the situation, they reported it to everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone. The car in front exploded. We have now separated the burning car from theother cars and will finish the work as soon as possible. However, the road is blocked for the timebeing."
Vera grabbed Minerva's arm and said gloomily, "What's going on? How can a car explode sosuddenly? Was it carrying a combustible item?"
"There could be many reasons for an explosion to occur. We don't know what's going on at themoment. Let's wait for a while."
Many people got out of their cars and stood at the roadside. Maddox was also on that road. Heheard the explosion and soon saw a lot of people crowding the highway.
With a cold face, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He had just driven onto thehighway but ran into such an incident. Furthermore, there were a lot of cars behind him.
He did not know how long it would take for the police to evacuate the crowd, but it was quite stuffyin the car.
Maddox reached out and pinched his temple that was hurting slightly. Then, he pushed open thedoor and got out of the car to catch his breath.
In the dark night, the man's figure came out of the car with his slender and straight legs takingsteady steps. Instead of heading towards the crowd, he walked to the other side of the highway andlooked at the scenery in the distance.
He was an anomaly among all the people on the highway.
"Wow, look, there is a handsome man over there!"
A girl among the crowd noticed Maddox and immediately shouted. Hearing what she said, thecrowd immediately looked at him.
"You can only see his back. How do you know he's handsome?"
"I saw his face just now when he got out of the car! It was sharp and angular. Not only did he have agood-looking face, but he also has a good figure!"
"That's enough. Aren't I in good shape too?"
"Humph, I can tell that the man has abs just by glancing at him. Whereas you only have fat on yourbelly, right?"
"You cannot do this to me..."
These conversations were clearly heard by Minerva and Vera. They both looked at each othersimultaneously, then Vera came over and whispered, "I can't believe that someone's still in themood to look at a handsome guy in such a dangerous situation."
Upon hearing this, Minerva curled her lips. "People are always interested in beautiful things.Besides... it's not a life-or-death situation yet."
"You're right. However, we're really unlucky today. Alas, why don't we go against your brother andreturn to North City tomorrow instead."
"It's alright." Minerva squatted down and looked at Beanie. "Are you tired? Do you need me to carryyou on my back?"
