Chapter 424
The person led Minerva the way, but he stopped after a while, saying, "Miss Hanover, Young Master
Yardley asked me to lead you until here."
Minerva looked at the path ahead of her and nodded.
"Alright."
After he left, Minerva''s eyes became gloomy.
Did he do it on purpose? He instructed people to bring her till there only. Did he want her to walk on
by herself by recalling the memories there? Even though she only stayed for a short period of time,
this was the ce where she used to live and carry out her daily activities.
As she thought of this, Minerva couldn''t help clenching her teeth and fists at both sides.
Maddox did it intentionally!
Minerva took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Then, she strode forward.
She walked forward one step at a time. At that moment, Maddox looked at Minerva. He swirled the
red wine ss in his hand and slowly curled his thin lips.
It seemed that she was very familiar with this ce.
Soon, Minerva came to the door and knocked on it.
A man''s deep voice sounded from the room.
"Come in."
Minerva pushed the door open and walked in. She immediately saw Maddox. He was sitting on the
sofa, drinking red wine leisurely. Maddox was solely in a thin shirt with only a few buttons fastened
and a pair of simple ck trousers due to the fact that it was the weekend.
The sunlight was shining through the casement windows and illuminated the whole room.
The morning sunlight added warmth to the room.
Minerva''s eyes were glistening with a hint of amazement.
Maddox had perfect facial features and a charming temperament.
Soon, she calmed herself down and opened her own bag.
"Mr. Yardley."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Maddox interrupted her and looked at the table in front of him. "Let''s have a bite first?"
Was he joking? She was not there for a meal.
Minerva smiled and opened her bag. She took out the measuring tape. "Mr. Yardley, I have other
matters to attend toter, so let''s get this done as soon as possible."
The meaning of saying this was to hope that Maddox would stand up. However, Maddox remained
motionless even though she said so.
"Mr. Yardley?" Minerva frowned and called out to him again.
Maddox curled his lips. "A quick one? Are you in a hurry to go on a date?"
"No, I don''t mean that."
"Then sit down and have breakfast with me."
Minerva replied, "Mr. Yardley."
"What''s the matter?" Maddox''s malicious eyes fell on her face. "You don''t even have time for
breakfast? Should I keep youpanyter while you attend to your matter?"
She would definitely reject if he was to apany her to look for Beanie at the school.
Atst, Minerva had no choice but topromise. She kept her measuring tape and sat opposite to
Maddox.
The breakfast looked as if it was prepared for her.
Minerva had already taken breakfast at home. However, she took a bite of the sandwich without
arguing, as she knew Maddox would do what he wanted to do regardless.
She only hoped that she would get things done as soon as possible and return after breakfast.
Originally, she did not have much time to spend with Beanie. Now with Maddox getting in the way,
the little time they had was all gone.
Minerva ate the sandwich, engrossed by her thoughts. On the other hand, Maddox''s gaze was
glued to her face.
She had really changed too much.
She was moreposed and beautiful than before.
It was as if she had undergone a transformation.
Maddox was struck by her beauty.
However, this was what caused him the headache.
Minerva was deep in thought when she suddenly felt a scorching gaze falling on her. She paused
for a moment before lifting her head, coincidentally meeting his jet-ck eyes.
When their eyes met, Maddox stared at her intensely.
It was a passionate gaze.
Minerva''s heart skipped a beat. All of the sudden, she lost the thought of eating.

Subsequently, she put down the sandwich and said nonchntly, "I''m full. Mr. Yardley, shall we
start?"
"Yes, by all means." Maddox looked weing.
Despite that, he remained at his spot motionlessly.
Did she need to go over to him?
Minerva stood up with a frown and took out her measuring tape again. She relented and walked
forward. She would go to take his measurement and leave right away after getting her task done.
She stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Yardley, would you please stand up for a moment?"
"Stand up?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.
Minerva gave a half smile. "One minute is enough."
After she finished speaking, she waited patiently for him.
Maddox put down his cup and got to his feet. Minerva was initially at a distance from him. However,
when he stood up, he deliberately moved closer to her.
Maddox stood up straight before Minerva. She was immediately enveloped in his aura.
Even though it had been so many years, Minerva was overwhelmed by thepelling aura around
him.
Her pupils contracted a little. Just as she was about to distance herself from him, he grabbed her
slender waist.
Minerva looked up in bewilderment. "What are you doing?"
Maddox gazed deeply in her eyes and spoke in a deep voice like a slowly pulling cello.
"How can you take my measurement if you stand at a distance?"
Maddox leaned close to her ear and whispered.
Minerva could sense that Maddox was deliberately blowing air into her ear. She didn''t know if it was
her imagination.
His action stimted her and she heard her heartbeat start to throb. Apart from that, she felt deeply
humiliated by him.
This married man often treated her in such a flirtatious manner.
Minerva closed her eyes and said coldly, "Let go of I''
me.
She became distant and cold in an instant. Before Maddox could react, Minerva took out the
measuring tape and ced it on his arm. Then, she shifted to the other side.
At this moment, she was already a short distance away from him.
Minerva took his measurement emotionlessly.
She could have assigned other designers to take his measurements, yet she knew that Maddox
was targeting her. Even if she called them over, they would endure more than what she suffered.
She had to endure it, given that she was the one who epted his order.
"Do you hate me now?"
