Chapter 577

"I still have something to do so I have to go out soon. Beanie, you can't go out with me. You have tohide behind the sofa and not come out, okay?"

Looking into Beanie's innocent eyes, Minerva felt extremely guilty. However, in order to protect him,she had no choice but to say so.

Sure enough, when Beanie Minerva's words, he showed a curious expression.

"Mommy, why? I want to go home with you. Don't you miss me?" Beanie wrapped himself aroundMinerva. He was pouting and looked pitiful.

"Of course I miss you. I want to stay with you all the time, but I have things to do. Beanie... You're abig boy right? Just promise me, okay?"

Minerva grabbed Beanie's hand and gently shook it, hoping that he would agree.

At first, Beanie continued to pout. However, when he saw that Minerva was holding his hand andbegging him, he could not help but purse his lips and nod reluctantly.

"Well, since you've said so. If I don't agree, I'll be considered a disobedient child."

"Beanie, so you promise me?" Minerva hugged her son with great joy and excitedly kissed andrubbed his soft cheeks repeatedly. Her voice was filled with satisfaction and pride.

"Thank you, Beanie."

Beanie patted the back of Minerva's head with a proud face and said with a serious tone, "Mommy,I'm your adorable baby. You can count on me."

As they were talking, a cold voice came from outside.

Minerva was stunned. Beanie blinked his eyes and looked at Minerva innocently.

"Mommy, are you afraid of this person?"

"Yes," Minerva nodded and covered Beanie's ears with her hands. Then, she smiled at him andmouthed the words, "Listen to me."

Beanie nodded obediently and covered his own ears. This scene made Minerva's heart acheterribly.

Beanie was really the best baby in the world. Otherwise, how could he be so considerate and coverhis ears on his own?

Minerva rubbed his head. After seeing him hide behind the sofa, she waved at him and stood up.

As Minerva came to her senses, Maddox had already carried her into the elevator and it was slowlydescending.

The car was parked at the entrance downstairs. If he went out with her in his arms, other peoplewould definitely see them.

Thinking of this, Minerva pinched Maddox's hand.

"I can walk on my own. You can put me down."

Maddox pursed his lips tightly, as if he had not heard what she said.

Minerva had no choice. Seeing that the elevator was about to open, she could only give in, "Even ifyou want to carry me, don't do it here. At least let me walk to the car, okay?"

Maddox lowered his head while she wrapped her arms around his neck. Seeing how she waspleading with him, Maddox couldn't bear to reject her.

Before Minerva could open her mouth again, Maddox had already put her down.

When Minerva's feet landed on the ground, she was slightly surprised. When did Maddox becomeso obedient?

However, she didn't have much time to think about it. It wasn't long before the elevator doorsopened. Minerva couldn't be bothered with anything else as she hurriedly walked out of the elevator.

Maddox frowned slightly when he saw how fast she was walking. He quickly followed behind her.

The car was parked right in front of the office building. When Minerva saw it from afar, she walkedover, opened the car door, and went straight into the passenger seat.

By the time Maddox arrived, Minerva had already fastened her seatbelt.

Seeing this, Maddox recalled the time she resisted when he tried to put on the seatbelt for her.novelbin

She was really making it difficult for him.

"Let's go."

This time, Minerva was the one to urge him to drive. Maddox felt that something was wrong, butafter thinking for a while, he realized that she was ill, so he did not say anything else.

Just like that, they quietly arrived at the residential area.

Maddox parked the car. Minerva thought for a moment and suddenly asked Maddox, "Have you haddinner yet?"

Hearing this, Maddox paused. After a while, he nodded and asked, "Why? Are you planning to cookfor me?"

Minerva said, "It's impossible for me to cook for you. How about ordering a meal for you?"

She thought about it and felt guilty. After all, he had taken care of her when she was down with afever, but she had lost her temper as soon as she woke up. Not only did he not get angry, he evensent her to the office and fetched her back.

In this case, she should treat him to a meal to show her gratitude.

Maddox initially wanted to taste her cooking. However, he remembered that she had just recoveredfrom a fever. It wouldn't be right for him to ask her to cook for him. Therefore, he nodded andagreed.

Both of them went up together. When they entered the elevator, Minerva went in first, followed byMaddox. Minerva reached out and was about to press the button of the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed. At the same time, they heard the anxious voice of a girl.

"Wait, wait for me!"

She was asking them to wait for her.

Minerva quickly pressed on the button to keep the elevator door opened.

The elevator door opened and the girl walked in while laughing.

"Thank you, I thought I couldn't make it in time."

The girl was full of smiles, but when she saw Maddox, her expression changed a little. She lookedat Maddox in a daze. When she recalled the scene of Maddox asking her to get lost, her faceinstantly turned pale.

At this time, a fat, middle-aged man named Brock squeezed into the elevator. He staggered a littleand bumped against Minerva who was in the corner.

Maddox, who was standing still with an expressionless face, suddenly moved. He grabbedMinerva's waist and pulled her close to him.

Bang!

Minerva did not even have time to react before her soft cheeks pressed into Maddox's chest.

She was just about to raise her head and ask Maddox why he had pulled her in when she saw fromthe corner of her eyes that Brock had bumped into the wall she had been leaning against earlier.Then, he cried out in pain.

'Ouch! It hurts.'

Minerva was speechless.

Fortunately, Maddox managed to pull her away. Otherwise, she would have been crushed.

The expression on that girl's face became worse.

When she first saw Maddox, she tried to strike up a conversation with him. However, he rejectedher harshly. At that time, she was so sad that her friends had to comfort her. They told her that aman like him probably did not care about any woman.

But now, he was holding a woman in his arms. His face looked gentle and kind.

He was not the same person who told her to get lost in a cold way that day.
