Chapter 565


    Minerva was stunned for three seconds before she realized what it was. She reached out and


    pushed Maddox away in shock.


    However, that move of hers seemed to have only stimted Maddox more. His grip on her waist


    tightened even further. His strength was so great that it felt like he was going to snap her in half.


    He pressed her against the door of the cab behind her. He was very strong and Minerva felt like


    she was suffocating.


    She wanted to push him away, but he held her tightly. The thin lips that were kissing her neck


    gradually became hotter and slowly trailed to the back of her neck. He brushed aside strands of hair


    that were in the way and started to kiss along the back of her neck.


    Minerva''s breathing suddenly quickened. She wanted to resist, but she had lost her strength.


    Maddox continued.


    Then, Minerva felt slightly cold on her shoulder. Her cor was pulled down and Maddox had


    lowered his head to kiss her shoulder affectionately.


    Every inch that he had kissed burned her with passion.


    "Don''t... Maddox, please stop..." Minerva said.


    Her voice became weaker. Her legs gave way when Maddox let go of her. She instinctively reached


    out and grabbed hold of him to steady herself.


    Maddox''s eyes were no longer cold. Instead, they were full of mes. He curled his lips and pinched


    Minerva''s chin.


    "Your body seems to be much more honest than your mouth," Maddox said.


    Minerva fell silent.


    She couldn''t help it. His kisses on the back of her neck made her feel powerless.


    She knew that she should have turned him down, but instead, she showed him what he wanted to


    see the most.


    Minerva bit her lower lip and a hint of embarrassment came into her eyes.


    So he said that he hadn''t had sex for five years. Well, neither did she.


    Although there were people who pursued Minerva abroad in the past five years, she only had one


    person in her mind. Also, after her situation improved, she was no longer affectionate towards


    anyone.


    Therefore during her time abroad, people hardly knew what her emotions were like.


    Try as she might to resist the seduction now, but deep down, her body actually craved for it. After


    all... She, too, hadn''t had sex in the past five years.


    Moreover, Maddox was flirting with her like that.


    While she was lost in thoughts, Maddox suddenly leaned towards her ear and blew gently. This


    move caused Minerva to lose her bnce and she fellpletely into Maddox''s embrace.


    Maddox saw this as an advantage and picked her up like a princess.


    The bed was visible right from the entrance of the bedroom.


    Here he was with the woman he loved. The moment was perfect.


    Adding to the fact that Maddox wasn''t able to think straight that night.


    Minerva''s coat had been removed. She was left in her shirt beneath Maddox''s body. She had yet to


    come to her senses.


    Perhaps she was in a daze, or perhaps she was epting what was about to happen and adapting


    to it.


    As they reached the most sensual moment, there came a sound from outside the bedroom door...


    Knock, knock...


    The sound of the knock rang loudly throughout the room and it brought Minerva back to her senses.


    "Minerva, I have finished cooking. Come out and eat..."


    It was Vera''s voice!


    Minerva opened her eyes and saw the scene that was about to unfold in front of her. Her eyes


    widened in shock. She pushed Maddox away with all her strength and quickly jumped off the bed.


    Grabbing her clothes off the ground, she quickly put them on.


    When Vera did not receive any responses, she started to feel suspicious.


    "Minerva, are you inside?" Vera asked.


    Vera reached out to turn the doorknob.


    Upon hearing the sound of the doorknob turning, Minerva''s expression changed drastically. She


    called out nervously, "Don''te in. I will be down in a minute. Wait for me!"


    She had never put on her clothes so quickly before.


    Maddox sat aside and silently watched Minerva put on the clothes that he had taken off with great


    difficulty.


    He was very depressed.


    He felt like a fool.


    He was so close to making her his.


    He did not expect that Vera would appear halfway through it.


    Minerva, on the other hand, had finished putting on her clothes and she heard the doorknob


    continue to turn. She nced over at Maddox only to realize that he was still seated with no clothes


    on.

    If Vera came in, wouldn''t it mean that she would see...


    Without thinking too much, she turned around and threw the quilt over Maddox''s body.


    Crack...


    "Minerva? Why did you lock the door? What on earth were you thinking? There''s only the two of us


    in the house, I won''t peek at you..." Vera called loudly as she pushed against the door. Halfway


    through themotion, she seemed to have suddenly realized that something was wrong and


    stopped talking.


    Minerva froze. She had already covered Maddox with the quilt.


    Maddox spoke with a hint of annoyance and anger, "I locked the door when I entered."


    Minerva fell silent.


    So, his intentions were very clear from the beginning?


    On the other side of the door, Vera also fell into an awkward silence. After a while, Vera coughed


    lightly and said, "Then I''ll go down first. Will... Will you still be having dinner?"


    Minerva said, "Of course!"


    "Oh, I''ll wait for you downstairs then," Vera replied.


    Without waiting for Minerva''s reply, Vera went away.


    As Vera''s footsteps became fainter, Minerva let out a sigh of relief. She rubbed her temples and


    looked at Maddox. He hadn''t moved an inch. She became furious and asked coldly, "How long are


    you going to sit here? Get up and get dressed."


    Maddox stared at Minerva with eyes full of distaste.


    Seeing that her neck was full of bruises from his kisses, he unconsciously licked his dry lips and


    said, "It''s not convenient for me to do so."


    Minerva was speechless.


    Haha!


    She was a fool to let this man into her room.


    She shouldn''t have pitied him!


    "Very well. Then feel free to stay in this room until it''s convenient for you to leave."


    With that, Minerva turned around and left the room.


    She mmed the door hard and proceeded down the stairs.


    Downstairs, Minerva saw that Vera had already set the table, but... She frowned.


    "Why is there only one te and a set of utensils? Didn''t I say that we''ll be eating together?"


    Vera nced at her and her eyes widened. Vera said, "I, I thought that you wouldn''t be out so soon.


    You guys got it done so quickly?"


    Minerva fell silent.


    "I don''t want to nag, buting down so quickly... Is it really okay?" Vera leaned over and


    whispered in Minerva''s ear, "Does he... finish quick?"


    Minerva was speechless.


    She took a deep breath, closed her eyes and then opened them again.


    "What on earth were you thinking?" Minerva asked.
