Chapter 560
At first, Minerva didn''t believe him and thought that he was lying to her.
When she was about to struggle and escape from his grasp, she heard footsteps.
Minerva held her breath nervously. After all, she was still frightened from just now. As she had been
dragged into the darkness by Maddox, it was easier for her to see the bright areas clearly.
Two men in ck walked towards their direction and looked around in a panic. They then asked in a
low voice.
"What''s going on? Where is she?"
"Weren''t you supposed to follow her while I was in the bathroom just now?"
"D*mn, didn''t you f*cking ask me to wait for you? Who knew that you would take so long in there?
Can''t you just bear it for a little while more? Great, now we''ve lost her. How are we going to report it
when we go back?"
While talking, the two suddenly stopped.
One of them looked around and then said, "Do you think that she knows that we were following her
and that she has hidden herself around here?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva held her breath and the palm on her lips slowly loosened. She then
widened her eyes.
Was he trying to let her identally make some sounds by letting go at this moment?

Minerva red fiercely at Maddox in the dark. Just as she was about to say something, he, who
was in front of her, suddenly bent down and covered her lips with his lips without warning.
She was lost for words.
She was taken aback at once.
It turned out that the reason he loosened his grip at such a critical moment was because of this.
Minerva''s eyshes trembled and she blinked. Just as she was about to push him away, she
realized that if she had done so, she might make a sound and be discovered by the two people
outside.
Hence, she had to stop, and then she heard the two men start talking again.
"I don''t think she has hidden herself. We were following her from such a long distance. She
probably didn''t know that we were following her. Besides, this is her neighborhood. Perhaps, she
has already gone back."
Maddox pinched her soft chin with one hand and pried open her teeth with his tongue.
Minerva''s hand subconsciously grabbed Maddox''s cor. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes
and curled up her toes in her shoes. She was so nervous that she did not dare to make a sound.
"Then, what should we do? Should we just go back like this today?"
"We still have time. Let''s go back first."
After hearing the receding footsteps, Minerva''s heart gradually calmed down. Only when the
footsteps had disappeared did Minervae back to her senses to push Maddox away.
By then, Maddox had kissed her deeply. He pressed his tall figure against hers and their bodies
were pressed tightly against each other.
The heating from his body was transmitted through his clothes. It was so hot that it made
people want to avoid him subconsciously.
Minerva struggled and retreated, trying to avoid Maddox''s tyranny.
The two of them went back and forth the same spot for a while in the dark. It was only then did
Maddox finally reluctantly part his lips and tongue from her mouth. He gasped for breath while
leaning against her smooth and fair forehead.
Minerva only felt a numbing pain on her lips. She was so angry that she gave him a punch. "Let me
go."
"What''s wrong?" Maddoxughed in a low voice. "You didn''t dare to say anything just now, but now
that they are gone, you are going to direct your anger at me?"
Minerva was speechless.
"Are you no longer afraid knowing that I''m close to you?"
Minerva repeated, "Let go of me."
"Minerva." Maddox approached her and touched her with his lips. "You were the one who called me
just now."
He brought this matter up again...
As soon as she thought of the fact that she had exposed her emotions and thoughts in front of him,
Minerva felt even more embarrassed. She pushed Maddox away with all her strength and turned
around angrily to leave.
"Do you not want your things anymore?"
Maddox''s voice came from behind.
Minerva was so angry that she didn''t even reply to him. She headed straight for the elevator on the
corridor.
The only thing she wanted to do now was to go back home. What a b*stard this Maddox was.
Ding-
The elevator''s doors opened and Minerva entered.
As soon as she turned around, a tall figure appeared in front of her with two bags of groceries that
she had just thrown on the ground.
Seeing him, Minerva quickly pressed the ''close'' button of the elevator. However, there was a time
gap for the doors to close after pressing the ''close'' button. Maddox came in with a faint smile on his
lips, and then deliberately stood beside her.
Minerva kept a distance from him with an indifferent facial expression.
The lift rose and soon arrived at the floor where Minerva lived. She stepped out of the lift and
Maddox followed her.
Minerva looked back angrily and ordered, "Don''t follow me. I don''t want those anymore."
Maddox looked up and his eyes fell on her slightly angry face.
As she had just cried, there was a hint of redness around her eyes, but the most scarlet of all was
her lips.
It was red and swollen.
A mischievous look appeared in Maddox''s eyes when he thought that it had turned scarlet because
of him.
"But you spent money to buy them," he replied.
All of a sudden, Minerva caught sight of the mischievous look in his eyes. She asked angrily,
"What''s that look in your eyes about?"
"I saved you," he said again.
"By right, you should marry me to repay my kindness."
Minerva was speechless.
Maddox walked up to her and bent down slightly. He supported her with one hand and stared at her
with his dark eyes. "Can you fill up my stomach first before satisfying my body?"
Minerva was at a loss for words.
She scoffed.
She stretched out her hand and snatched the bags from Maddox. Then, she turned around, walked
to the entrance and tapped in the passcode. She opened the door and entered the house. She
looked at Maddox who was
outside and said coldly, "Thank you for today, but I''d like to say that I might not have been
frightened if you hadn''t
appeared. Furthermore, I would have already gone upstairs before they could find me."
After she finished speaking, Minerva mmed the door shut with a loud bang.
Minerva leaned against the door with the two bags in her hands. When she thought of the two men
who had just followed her, she was still terrified.
At first, she was frightened when she felt that someone was following her. Butter, she found that it
was Maddox.
She was very angry, but she didn''t expect that... There was really someone else who was following
her.
It was difficult to imagine that if it wasn''t for Maddox, and if she hadn''t walked faster, she would have
died that very night...
Thinking carefully, Minerva was terrified. She felt that her life had been in a mess recently.
She took off her shoes and walked in. She opened the refrigerator and ced the things she had
bought in it while thinking.
Then, what about Maddox?
Why did he show up here in the middle of the night?
Could it be that he had already known in advance that she would be followed? If not, why would he
tell her that someone wasing? It was as if he was deliberately trying to alert her.
Considering this, her movements came to a halt. She suddenly turned around, walked to the door
and opened it.
Sure enough, Maddox hadn''t left. He was still standing there in the same position as before. When
he saw her open the door, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you thought it through?"
Minerva gritted her teeth and turned away. "Come in!"
An evil smile appeared on Maddox''s lips as he entered her residence. Minerva closed the door very
harshly, almost hitting the back of his head, but he didn''t mind it at all...
