Chapter 590

The two of them fell silent again and they soon arrived at the neighborhood.

Before getting out of the car, Minerva suddenly asked, "Don't you have a car?"

Upon hearing this, Maddox paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's my car. I need to use it sometime."

Maddox immediately furrowed his brows. "Am I not here? I've said that I won't leave your side. Tellme where you're going and I'll give you a ride."

Minerva frowned and thought about what she was going to do. She then continued, "It's notconvenient. I can't ask you to go everywhere with me."

Maddox raised an eyebrow. "Do you want to get rid of me?"

"It's not like that. Aren't you living nearby? You can ask Sam to drive your car over and you can alsouse your own car to pick me up in the future."

Minerva suddenly paused. After realizing what she had just said, she suddenly turned her head.

"Forget it. You can do whatever you want."

Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. After a few steps, she heard Maddox getting outof the car and followed her.

"I'll ask Sam to drive the car here tomorrow."

Minerva ignored him and continued to walk forwards.

When they arrived at the elevator, Maddox suddenly asked her, "Are you satisfied now?"

Minerva still ignored him. She pursed her lips and looked elsewhere.

She didn't want to admit that she was the one who had said those words just now.

"Are you shy?"

Minerva quickly snapped, "You'd better shut up."

Maddox's gloomy mood was instantly swept away and the smile on his face widened.

These days, he had used the excuse of protecting her in order to occupy her time and space.

He knew that it was despicable of him to have taken advantage of the situation.

However, he couldn't control himself. He was extremely selfish and wanted to get close to her, nomatter what had happened between the two of them in the past.

He didn't want to experience regret again. He didn't know if he could bear the mental torture foranother five years.

Of course, he could sense Minerva's resistance. Even though her resistance was slowly decreasing,it was mostly due to helplessness, or that she was being forced to accept him.

As for Maddox, as long as he could occupy all of her time and space, it didn't matter whether shewas willing or not.

As long as he was by her side, no other men would have a chance.

Even if Minerva did not accept him, no one could get close to her.

After entering the elevator, Minerva leaned against the wall, looking a little tired. He wrapped hisarms around her and said, "Lean into my arms if you're tired."

Minerva didn't reply.

She thought for a while and didn't refuse.

For the first time, they quietly stayed in a small space. When the elevator door opened, Minervawalked out of the elevator first.

Naturally, Maddox followed closely behind.

As she walked to the door, Minerva thought of something and turned around to look at Maddox.

There was a serious look in her beautiful eyes that he had never seen before. "Thank you for thepast few days. There hasn't been any danger anymore. You have so much to do at work. Why don'tyou..."

"Are you worried about me? Are you thinking about my company?"

Minerva instantly fell silent.

"Don't worry. I'll take care of the company's affairs and I won't leave you alone."novelbin

Han Minerva couldn't help but glance at the dark and stern look in his eyes.

Every morning when she went out, he would appear and fetch her to work, but he still had to finishhis work. Minerva estimated that he was getting less than five hours of sleep every day.

As she thought of this, she bit her lower lip. "Even if you are worried about me, you can't ignore yourhealth, can you?"

"Are you worried about me?"

"I won't go out tomorrow. You can have a good rest."

Maddox looked into her eyes quietly. Then, he stepped forward and gave her a hug without warning.He just hugged her gently.

However, this embrace had reached Minerva's heart.

Maddox had even kissed her forehead lovingly.

"Then you have to keep your word. You're not allowed to go out tomorrow."

Minerva's deep voice seemed to be imbued with magic. She felt a lump form in her throat and shereplied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

It had been almost ten minutes since she had returned to her room. Only then did Minerva slowlycome to her senses. She subconsciously touched the spot on her forehead that had been kissed byMaddox.

D*mn it.

It was just a gentle kiss on her forehead, but why did it make her heart beat faster than when hehad kissed her lips?

Alas, she might have been too lonely for far too long. That was why she was like this.

Minerva rubbed her hot cheeks and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she went to prepare dinner. Maddox seemed to be busy and did not bring upthe suggestion of having dinner with her.

Since he had spent so much time with her, he could still be busy dealing with work.

Minerva's heart ached when she recalled the dark circles around his eyes. She couldn't help buttake out her phone and send him a message.

"Do you want to come over for dinner?"

After sending the message, Minerva looked at the message. She was wondering if she was sendinga wrong signal to him. Within ten seconds, she deleted the message.

It had only been ten seconds. Maddox wouldn't be looking at his phone all the time, right?

Minerva put down her phone, then turned around and went to the kitchen.

She had just finished preparing the ingredients when she heard the doorbell ringing.

Minerva frowned in confusion.

Who could it be at this time?

Minerva washed her hands and then wiped them before walking out of the kitchen to open the door.

Upon opening the door, she saw Maddox, who was standing outside the door with a serious look onhis face.

"Why are you here?"

Maddox entered the door with an unhappy expression. He asked coldly, "Why did you open thedoor before checking who's at the door?"

Minerva couldn't answer.

"What if there was danger?"

Minerva pursed her lips and thought, "You've been with me for the past few days. No one will dareto cause trouble here."

"I don't think so."

After thinking for a while, she asked, "Why are you here?"

Maddox's tall figure squeezed in and his gaze landed on her face.

"Didn't you ask me to come over?"

"Me?" Minerva paused for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered the deleted message. Her lipsopened weakly. "I, when did I..."

"I'm sorry." Maddox bent down and his forehead bumped into hers. His thin lips curled slightly andhe said, "I saw it when you sent me the message."

Minerva just kept quiet.

She was surprised. How could he have seen the message when she had deleted it in less than tenseconds?

The corners of her lips twitched. "Are you glued to your phone?"

Maddox looked at her with deep eyes and gently gulped.

There seemed to be happiness in his eyes, bursting with light at that moment.
