Chapter 704

Minerva felt that she was going to shrink into the floor.

If she could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it, she would have done so.

Now, she didn't dare to make a sound. She just sat there with her hat low, trying to be as still aspossible.

She didn't know why, but the person sitting beside her suddenly stood up. She didn't know whathappened, but the person quickly sat back down. Only then did Minerva relax.

Because she kept her head down all the time, she didn't know what was going on. By estimation,Maddox should have passed by her by this time.

Hence, she quietly raised her head and wanted to observe her surroundings. However, sheunexpectedly met with a pair of deep, ice-cold eyes.

They looked into each other's eyes.

Silence...

Minerva's pupils dilated a little. Then, she came to her senses and gently lowered her head. Shecontinued to curl up there as if she hadn't seen anything.

Maddox, who was seated beside her, could not help but sneer when he saw this.

"You have the guts to board the plane, but you don't dare to look at me?"

She was at a loss for words.

His voice was so sharp that it made her scalp tingle. Minerva bit her lower lip and once again slowlyraised her head.

"I, I said I would go with you, but you didn't agree, so I had to... come by myself."

Maddox's lips curled up into a cold smile. "Sneaking into the plane? You even bought an economyseat?"

Minerva was speechless.

The people around stared at them. It seemed that someone recognized that they were the twopeople on the posters all over North City. Someone even took out her phone to secretly take apicture of them.

Minerva's expression changed slightly when she saw this. She quickly lowered her head and threwherself into his embrace.

She suddenly threw herself into his arms, leaving Maddox dazed for a moment. However, he quicklycaught a glimpse of the camera out of the corner of his eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the lady fiercely.

His aura was already strong, and at this moment, there was even a murderous intent in his gaze.The woman's hand immediately went weak, and her phone fell to the ground. She panicked andlowered her head to look for her phone.

Maddox turned around and looked at the little woman who was hiding in his arms. He could not helpbut ridicule her.

"You weren't scared to sneak into the plane, but now you are scared of this?"

She still had her head lowered. She asked in a low voice, "Are they still taking pictures?" "Look foryourself?"

Only then did she raise her head to look at the woman. When she realized that the woman was onlybending down to look for her phone, she heaved a sigh of relief and covered her chest.

She then looked at his gloomy face. "Since I'm already here, you won't pull me off the plane, willyou?"

Maddox was stupefied.

"Wow, you actually reminded me of such a good idea."

After speaking, he grabbed Minerva's slender and fair wrist. She was taken aback and widened hereyes in an attempt to pull her hand back.

"Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid when you threatened me earlier?" He got closer to her,and his gaze was sharp. The aura lingering around him had become more and more powerful.

She was dumbfounded.

She bit her lower lip and simply shut her eyes.

"Well, then pull me off. You will have to get off the plane, too. If you won't allow me to go together,then no one is going."

She acted as if she had nothing to lose. Minerva thought that if Maddox pulled her off the plane,then she would hold him tightly and would not let him go and board the plane either.

When the time came, neither of them would be able to board the plane.

However, after some time there didn't seem to be any movement.

She opened her eyes again. She saw the helpless look in his eyes. He was still clenching her wrist,but his grip was much lighter.

He sighed when he saw that she was in such a bad mood.

"Why did you suddenly become so childish? Recently... You like to make a fuss."

Upon hearing his words, Minerva recalled her recent behavior. It really seemed...

She did not only become naughty, but also lazy and gluttonous. Everyday, she only wanted to sleepand didn't even want to work.

What was wrong with her?

Could it be... because she felt that Maddox would be able to feed her when she married him? Wasthat the reason why she became lazy?

At the thought of this, Minerva's face instantly turned sour. She did not want to continue being a lazyperson.

Of course, she had to deny it in front of him. She pulled back her hand and gritted her teeth. "Whowants to make a fuss? I'm just worried about you, and I want to stay by your side, but you don'tallow me to. It's just a flight, and you insisted so hard not to let me board it. Who's the one makingthe fuss?"

After saying that, she turned her head and looked out of the window, no longer looking at him.

"Well, stop messing around. Do you know how much I'm worried about you? If you want to go, thengo. But when you arrive at the place, you are not allowed to run around."

Did he agree? Minerva stared at him with a little hesitation before nodding her head. "Fine!"

The two of them had reached a consensus. She would definitely not run around. It was just that shefelt that her eyelids were twitching so much that she was worried about Maddox being alone. That

was why she wanted to stay by his side. She wanted to make sure that he was safe until thewedding was finally over.

The plane flew for a long time, and it didn't take long for her to feel drowsy again. While she wassleeping in her seat, her head was flopping around. Seeing this, Maddox could only grab her andlean her against his shoulder.

By the time they arrived, it was already deep into the night.

He woke her up, and she drowsily moved forward while hanging onto him. He then carried her intohis car and brought her to his room. She slept all the way there. He personally carried her into herroom after arriving.

When her head touched the soft pillow, she directly reached out to hold the quilt and then fell asleepagain.

Upon seeing this, he didn't ask her to take a shower. Looking at Minerva in front of him, he felt alittle strange.

Recently... She seemed to be very drowsy.

She slept on the plane, in the car, and she went straight back to sleep when they reached theroom?

However, he did not think too much about it after that. He thought that she was sleep-deprivedbecause she was too worried about himself.novelbin

Minerva had a nightmare again. When she woke up, her heart was thumping, and her eyelidstwitched violently. When she woke up, she subconsciously reached out to touch the side, only tofind no one beside her.

Therefore she had to get up, only to find that she was in a place she was not familiar with. Sherecalled what happened the night before and knew that this was the room that Maddox brought herto.

Her phone vibrated. Minerva took out her phone and found that Vera had sent her a video call.

She answered with a messy heap of hair on her face.

"F*ck, Minerva... Where have you been? Why was Beanie sent home so early in the

morning?"
