Chapter 636

"We're already here. Do you still think I'm joking?" While speaking, Maddox raised his hand to combthrough her hair and twisted a few strands of hair around his index finger.

Minerva lowered her head and watched him for a long time.

"I'm serious. If a stranger taints your opinion of me, then I'll prove to you that that woman hasnothing to do with me. Since we met until now, I've meant every word I said. I'm not putting on anact."

"But..." Minerva raised her head and looked at the redness in his eyes. "You haven't slept in twodays, have you? Can your body take it?"

Their gazes met and Maddox lowered his head. His forehead was pressing against hers as heclosed his eyes tiredly.

"No, it can't."

"But I can't stand losing you more."

"You can't believe him. He's up to no good," Minerva thought.

He spoke ill about Benedict and he was a selfish person.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Maddox continued to complain, "Benedict didn't fight back, notbecause he didn't have the ability to fight back, but because you were there."

She didn't reply.

"He did it on purpose. Do you understand?"

Minerva's lips moved as if she wanted to say something. However, Maddox pressed his lips againsthers before she could utter a single word. His soft kisses landed on her lips like petals falling gentlyto the ground. There was no sound.

It was gentle and silent.

Minerva's heart trembled. She opened her mouth subconsciously, receiving the kiss.

The moment she opened her mouth, she felt his body shake violently. Then, Maddox's tonguefiercely barged in and entangled with hers.

"Mm."

Minerva couldn't restrain herself. Just when she thought they would deepen the kiss, he suddenlypulled away.

She looked at him in bewilderment.

"Are you trying to embarrass me in public?" Maddox held her forehead and asked breathlessly.

In public...

He was right. Minerva suddenly recalled that they were in a VIP lounge at the airport. Althoughthere weren't as many people here compared to the outside, there were still people around.

When Minerva finally came to her senses and was about to push Maddox away, he pinched her lipsand said with a chuckle, "It's too late. Everyone saw it. It's too late to hide."

Her face and ears turned red as she felt the stares coming from all directions. She dared not sayanything else and could only glare hatefully at him.

"Didn't you say that we're going to grab something to eat? Let me go. I want to go out and findsomething to eat by myself..."

Minerva pushed him aside. She tried to get up but Maddox quickly pulled her back down.

"Wait for me."

Minerva was pulled back next to Maddox. He whispered into her ear, "It's a little inconvenient for meto stand up now after our little shenanigan."

She was lost for words.

Of course, she knew what he meant by "inconvenient." After all, this happened once before at herhouse.

"What a beast!" Minerva thought.

Earlier...

They barely kissed, yet he...

Thinking of this, she glared at him.

Maddox's bloodshot eyes were full of joy. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, the anger he hadfrom punching Benedict earlier dissipated completely.

The moment Minerva invited him into the kiss, he suddenly realized he had always been in herheart.

So, why should he be mad at Benedict?

How dare Benedict come and steal his girl?

Benedict had never been able to get his way before. Now Maddox was satisfied. After taking her toconfront Monica, he would be able to get together with her and officially become a father.

While they waited for him to cool down, she would ask him questions from time to time.

"Are you okay now?"

Maddox shook his head and sat there with his lips pursed. He still didn't move.

About three minutes later, Minerva looked at him and asked again, "How about now?"

Her eyes looked so moist and innocent. She knew exactly what was going on yet she kept askinghim if he was okay with that expression on her face.

Maddox really wanted to grab her and bite her to let her know whether he was okay.

How could he calm down so quickly?

"Why are you..." She wanted to say something, but when she saw him looking at her with abloodthirsty gaze, she swallowed her words.

Forget it; she might as well wait a little longer.

She recalled how it took quite a while for him to cool down at her home previously.

This time, Minerva did not disturb him again. Time passed by slowly. It was so long that it startedgetting awkward. Minerva wanted to remind him that if they kept on waiting, they would have toboard the plane.

How would they eat?

Finally, just as she couldn't take it anymore and was about to stand up to go to the washroom, hesuddenly grabbed her hand, "Let's go."

"You're okay now?"

She looked at him in surprise.

He pursed his lips.

"Don't look at me like that, or else... I can't guarantee that we'll leave our seats."

Minerva was silent.

Forget it, she looked away and turned her back towards him.

On the way out, she suddenly thought of something. She couldn't help but ask, "Is your brother...really going to be okay?"

As soon as she finished her words, she felt the atmosphere around her turn icy.

She turned around to look at him, only to find Maddox looking at her coldly.

"You're still thinking of Benedict?"

"I don't mean to harp on it, but you're the one who hurt him."

Maddox looked away and said flatly.

"He's not my brother. Don't treat him as your brother either."

Of course, she didn't treat Benedict like her brother.

"Also, don't treat him as a man."

Minerva thought to herself, "Isn't he asking for too much?"

"He's a b*stard," Maddox suddenly said.

Minerva was shocked. B*stard? Actually, she didn't know much about the Yardley family. Theinformation she knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Maddox and Benedict were not full brothers. They were half-brothers who shared the same father.As for the rest, she was clueless.

"Back then, my mother could not get pregnant after she married into the Yardley family. Three yearslater, she found out that her husband was cheating on her. My mother had a strong personality, soshe couldn't accept sharing her husband with another woman. She forced him to divorce her andleft the Yardley family."novelbin

Minerva was stunned and lowered her gaze.

Little did she know that Maddox's birth mother was so strong- willed. She immediately got a divorcewhen she discovered that her husband was cheating on her. She was unlike other ladies who keptsilent even when their husbands were having affairs.

"After she left the Yardley family, she realized that she was pregnant."

Minerva subconsciously caressed her stomach.

"She could have abandoned the child. After all, it was her ex- husband's child, but my mother gavebirth to me without a second thought."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but raise her head and look at Maddox.

His eyes were deep; looking at them was like staring into the depths of the ocean.

His gaze was different from usual. Minerva had never seen this look in Maddox's eyes before.
