Female Novel
Chapter 503
"I thought about it carefully after I went back yesterday. Although what Janice did was horrible, afterall, she is still the daughter of Auntie Stark's friend, so..."
"So what?"
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Maddox's cold voice. He squinted his eyes andstared at her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He bit out word by word, "I thought that after fiveyears, you would be at least a little more decisive, or even more resolute. But how can you changeyour mind just with a few words of persuasion by my aunt?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned. Her pink lips parted and she could not say a word.novelbin
Maddox laughed and said, "You should have shown her a little of that same attitude you alwaysshow to me, shouldn't you?"
Minerva was speechless.
He sneered again. "How could you give up without even persisting for a bit? She poured acid thistime. Who knows what she would pour next time. And plus, who knows whether I would arrive intime to save you next time?"
"No," Minerva rejected him.
"No?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.
Minerva wanted to say that as long as he kept his distance from her, Janice would not do anythingagainst her. However, after contemplating this sentence for a while, she felt that it would be tooharsh and he could make a scene again if she said it.
Hence, just as she was about to speak, her words turned into, "She wants you."
Maddox thought about it for a long while before he regained his senses. A hint of coldness flashedin his dark eyes and a selfmocking smile appeared on his face moments later.
"So you're going to abandon me after I recover, aren't you?"
Abandon...
Minerva's delicate brows furrowed deeply. She had never said that she would be responsible forhim, so how could it be considered as an abandonment? And plus, as long as his injuries werehealed, she would have fulfilled her duty already.
Maddox pursed his lips. "Minerva, my wounds haven't fully healed yet and you're already trying topersuade me to let go of the woman who tried to hurt you; that really provokes me.
Minerva closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress her frustration. After she calmeddown, she said, "I can only try to convince you but it doesn't mean that I can definitely convince you.It's up to you. If you don't want to let her go, then tell Auntie Stark about it yourself. It's just that...I've already promised Auntie Stark. So just let me be a person who doesn't keep her promisesthen."
Saying that, Minerva even pursed her lips and smiled, showing an indifferent attitude.
Suddenly, Maddox lifted his hand and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her into his embrace before shecould react.
"What did she say to make you change your mind?"
Minerva sat on his lap and tried to push him away. However, Maddox's long arms were circledaround her waist like an iron chain, making it impossible for her to move against his strength.
He didn't give her any chance to escape. He held her chin with his fingers and turned her facetowards his, staring into her eyes.
"Didn't you get so scared before that you couldn't sleep well? If we release her now, do you knowthat you will be living that fearful life again?"
Minerva bit her lower lip. "After all, she hasn't hurt me, and... Auntie Stark said that her parentswould take her away. In fact, this matter can be resolved very easily. It happened because of you.As long as you stay away from me in the future, she won't hate me anymore. I don't intend to getback together with you and we'll definitely still divorce..."
Before Minerva could finish her sentence, Maddox kissed her furiously.
Minerva was stunned by the sudden kiss.
She blinked her eyes in a daze. Her long and wavy eyelashes fluttered as if they were scratchingMaddox's heart.
Moments later, Minerva stretched out her hand and tried to push him away. Maddox grabbed herwrist and pulled her arms back. His tall body held her down as he kissed her red lips.
Just like a game of tag, one tried to escape, while the other tried to take possession.
The one who tried to flee felt anxious, but the one chasing had a spirit of determination. In the end,Maddox had the upper hand and Minerva was completely defeated.
After a long kiss...
Maddox breathed heavily with his forehead pressed against hers. "There's no need to get backtogether. We never broke up anyway."
After saying that, he kissed her lips affectionately again. Finally, he couldn't help but plant kisses onthe tip of her nose and then her eyes. "I can't forgive her, nor will I let you go."
"Minerva, Kimberly... You are destined to be mine."
In the end, Minerva was unable to persuade Maddox.
Abigail firmly believed in her and thought that she was the only one who could persuade Maddox.However, Abigail neglected one thing.
It wasn't just anyone else Janice had hurt; it was the person whom Maddox cared most about.
So, how could he forgive Janice?
Minerva had promised Abigail, but she had failed to convince Maddox, so she felt frustrated.Furthermore, after she was kissed, Maddox's words frightened her.
She felt that it would become more difficult for her to get rid of him.
She was a little flustered and had an impulse to escape.
In the end, Minerva made a call to Abigail and told her about it.
After listening to her words, Abigail was silent for a long time and later she said softly, "I know. Infact, I made things difficult for you to let you persuade him, but I still wanted to try. It doesn't matter,Minerva. Thank you for your effort."
Upon hearing this, Minerva could only say, "Auntie Stark, I'm really sorry. I thought he would agree,but I didn't expect..."
"Then you must be wrong. Maddox has always been very determined about matters concerningyou. Otherwise, in the past how would you two have..."
Upon hearing Abigail talk about the past, Minerva's heart was filled with panic. She quickly stoppedAbigail from talking about it.
"Auntie Stark, let's not talk about the past."
"Fine, if you don't want me to mention it, then I won't. That's it then. I'll negotiate with Janice'smother myself. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Minerva placed her phone aside. Her body fell backwards inexhaustion and she collapsed onto the sofa.
After buying this apartment, she had lived alone. Vera always brought Beanie back to the Hanoverfamily's residence.
Maddox would not let Janice go, which meant that... She would have to stay in the prison for a longtime.
That was good too; it would be a long and hard lesson for her.
Minerva also thought that such a thing would indeed ruin her life.
However, before Janice had acted, why didn't she consider that her actions could possibly destroyher?
Therefore, she should not be soft-hearted.
Thinking of this, Minerva took out her mobile phone and called Vera, telling her that she could moveback there.
"Has the problem been solved?"
"More or less. You should pack up and bring Beanie over tomorrow."
"Alright!"
After that, Minerva went to take a shower. When she came out of the bathroom, she found thatthere were two more people in the room.
Vera had already come back with Beanie.
"Mommy!!!"
Beanie, who hadn't seen Minerva for days, immediately rushed towards her!
Minerva stumbled then took a few steps back to stabilize herself. Then, she held Beanie in herarms.
