Chapter 613

Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped. She did not dare to move another muscle anymore.

"Hm?" Maddox hummed when she did not answer.

She bit her lower lip awkwardly and replied softly, "I just don't feel comfortable with you carrying melike this, I..."

His laughter was somewhat helpless. "You were too tired to walk, but you don't want me to carryyou on my back. Should I carry you in my arms instead?"

"I guess it's better for you to carry me on your back then."

She had better not think too much. Maddox had plenty of energy anyway. He might not feel anypressure if he carried her on his back. She should not be bothered to deal with him.

As she thought of this, Minerva ignored him.

As the sky gradually darkened, the pedestrians on the road would occasionally glance at themwhen passing by. They looked at them enviously.

At first, she was unaccustomed to it.

However, gradually, she began to feel like how others looked at her had nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, Minerva felt at ease. She leaned against Maddox's back and allowed him to carryher back home.

Soon, they were about to reach their neighborhood. Minerva wasn't sure if she was imagining it, butshe felt that Maddox's steps seemed to have slowed down a lot.

The surroundings gradually quietened down. Only the rustling of leaves being blown by the windaccompanied his footsteps.

The night gradually fell and everything around them seemed to have become quiet and beautiful.

The only thing Minerva could hear was Maddox's and her own breathing, which was especiallyclear.

"Today, you..." He suddenly opened his mouth. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded in thenight.

"Yeah?" She asked in confusion.

He was silent for a long time before replying, "It's nothing."

Then silence was restored. Maddox carried her to the front of the elevator and then put her down.

After arriving at the 18th floor, Minerva followed him out of the elevator and stood there quietly.

After a while, when she heard Maddox entering the code to open the door, she suddenly came toher senses and looked at him in surprise.novelbin

"How do you know the password?"

Maddox held her hand and entered. He replied calmly, "I knew it after listening to you key in thepassword a few times."

In fact, he had seen her put in the password once by accident. However, for him, who hadphotographic memory, one time was enough!

Thud!

After the door closed, Minerva was still in a state of shock. When she regained her senses, shequestioned angrily, "You... Didn't I tell you to turn your head when I entered the password? Youcould tell after hearing me put in the password a few times? Do you think that I would believe this..."

The first thing Maddox did when he entered the house was to place the bag in his hand on the tablebeside him. He then turned around, lifted both of Minerva's hands and pressed her against the icycold door.

Her expression changed when she realized that she was being held against the door. "What are youdoing?"

Maddox leaned forward slightly. His hoarse voice sounded in her ears.

"Today, you told Betty that the reason for our divorce was because I'm frigid."

What?!

Minerva's expression changed drastically. Earlier, she had been worried that Betty might havealready revealed it to Maddox. Then, on the way back, she thought that Betty might only be moreopen with her. After all, this was a topic between two women.

She didn't expect that Betty would say the same thing to Maddox.

However, when did she ever say that she had divorced Maddox because he was frigid?

Wasn't all of this just Betty's imagination?

Thinking of this, Minerva started to retort, "When did I..."

However, she could not finish her sentence. Maddox had already sealed her lips with his. Minervawidened her eyes and her pupils shrank. Her hands began to resist unconsciously .

He pressed down on her hands tightly. His body pressed forward and deepened the kiss.

Just as Minerva felt that her breath might be taken away, he suddenly retreated and pressedagainst her cold forehead, panting. "Are you not satisfied enough? Is that why you have the strengthto talk nonsense?"

She finally had a chance to rest. She frowned and continued, "I didn't..."

"Or are you protesting against me? Am I not passionate enough?"

Before she could open her mouth again, Maddox pinched her chin to make her raise her head andlook into his eyes.

Minerva wanted to deny it at first, but when she looked into his eyes, she seemed to see a strangelight shining in his eyes.

She thought of what Betty had said to her when they were in the supermarket.

"When you see someone you like, your eyes will shine."

She had never really paid attention to it before, only once.

That was five years ago...

She remembered in a trance, that there was a light in his eyes.

It was just some broken memories that she couldn't put together at all.

But now, she could see it clearly.

Minerva's lips moved and she replied reflexively, "l-l didn't think that way."

"You didn't think so?" Maddox raised an eyebrow and continued, "That's what you want to thinkthen."

Minerva was speechless.

Her ears were a little hot.

He entwined his fingers with hers. His eyes darkened and he said hoarsely, "Since that's the case, Ishould let you have a taste of how passionate I can be."

As soon as he finished his words, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips without giving hera chance to breathe.

When she woke up again, Minerva was on the brink of passing away.

She laid on the bed, covered with a quilt, and thought about whether the contraceptive pill frombefore had any effect.

Did she need to take another one?

However, after thinking for a while, she felt that it was better for her not to take too much of it.

She was really frustrated.

Minerva turned over and closed her eyes in annoyance.

In the future, if she ran into Brock and Betty again, she would have to take a detour. Otherwise,Minerva would not be able to take it if the incident that day happened again.

The phone hidden under the pillow vibrated a few times. Minerva was stunned for a moment beforeshe took out the phone to take a look at it.

Beanie had sent her a Facebook message.

Beanie asked, "Mommy, have you been busy with work recently? When will you pick me up to gohome?"

Looking at the cute emoji at the end, Minerva could almost see the mischievous smile on Beanie'sface through the screen.

In fact, during this period of time, she had missed Beanie everyday. She wanted to return home, tosee him running towards her and then throwing himself into her arms.

He was her baby who had always been with her in the past. He was her precious baby.

However, she had to send Beanie to Quill. He would be safe there.

The Hanover family was indeed her best support.

Minerva smiled and turned over to send a message to Beanie.

"I miss you a lot, but I still have work to do.

So... You'll have to suffer for a little while longer..

Only God knew how much she wanted to pick up Beanie right away.
