Chapter 577


    "I still have something to do so I have to go out soon. Beanie, you can''t go out with me. You have to


    hide behind the sofa and note out, okay?"


    Looking into Beanie''s innocent eyes, Minerva felt extremely guilty. However, in order to protect him,


    she had no choice but to say so.


    Sure enough, when Beanie Minerva''s words, he showed a curious expression.


    "Mommy, why? I want to go home with you. Don''t you miss me?" Beanie wrapped himself around


    Minerva. He was pouting and looked pitiful.


    "Of course I miss you. I want to stay with you all the time, but I have things to do. Beanie... You''re a


    big boy right? Just promise me, okay?"


    Minerva grabbed Beanie''s hand and gently shook it, hoping that he would agree.


    At first, Beanie continued to pout. However, when he saw that Minerva was holding his hand and


    begging him, he could not help but purse his lips and nod reluctantly.

    "Well, since you''ve said so. If I don''t agree, I''ll be considered a disobedient child."


    "Beanie, so you promise me?" Minerva hugged her son with great joy and excitedly kissed and


    rubbed his soft cheeks repeatedly. Her voice was filled with satisfaction and pride.


    "Thank you, Beanie."


    Beanie patted the back of Minerva''s head with a proud face and said with a serious tone, "Mommy,


    I''m your adorable baby. You can count on me."


    As they were talking, a cold voice came from outside.


    Minerva was stunned. Beanie blinked his eyes and looked at Minerva innocently.


    "Mommy, are you afraid of this person?"


    "Yes," Minerva nodded and covered Beanie''s ears with her hands. Then, she smiled at him and


    mouthed the words, "Listen to me."


    Beanie nodded obediently and covered his own ears. This scene made Minerva''s heart ache


    terribly.


    Beanie was really the best baby in the world. Otherwise, how could he be so considerate and cover


    his ears on his own?


    Minerva rubbed his head. After seeing him hide behind the sofa, she waved at him and stood up.


    As Minerva came to her senses, Maddox had already carried her into the elevator and it was slowly


    descending.


    The car was parked at the entrance downstairs. If he went out with her in his arms, other people


    would definitely see them.


    Thinking of this, Minerva pinched Maddox''s hand.


    "I can walk on my own. You can put me down."


    Maddox pursed his lips tightly, as if he had not heard what she said.


    Minerva had no choice. Seeing that the elevator was about to open, she could only give in, "Even if


    you want to carry me, don''t do it here. At least let me walk to the car, okay?"


    Maddox lowered his head while she wrapped her arms around his neck. Seeing how she was


    pleading with him, Maddox couldn''t bear to reject her.


    Before Minerva could open her mouth again, Maddox had already put her down.


    When Minerva''s feetnded on the ground, she was slightly surprised. When did Maddox be


    so obedient?


    However, she didn''t have much time to think about it. It wasn''t long before the elevator doors


    opened. Minerva couldn''t be bothered with anything else as she hurriedly walked out of the elevator.


    Maddox frowned slightly when he saw how fast she was walking. He quickly followed behind her.


    The car was parked right in front of the office building. When Minerva saw it from afar, she walked


    over, opened the car door, and went straight into the passenger seat.


    By the time Maddox arrived, Minerva had already fastened her seatbelt.


    Seeing this, Maddox recalled the time she resisted when he tried to put on the seatbelt for her.


    She was really making it difficult for him.


    "Let''s go."


    This time, Minerva was the one to urge him to drive. Maddox felt that something was wrong, but


    after thinking for a while, he realized that she was ill, so he did not say anything else.


    Just like that, they quietly arrived at the residential area.


    Maddox parked the car. Minerva thought for a moment and suddenly asked Maddox, "Have you had


    dinner yet?"


    Hearing this, Maddox paused. After a while, he nodded and asked, "Why? Are you nning to cook


    for me?"


    Minerva said, "It''s impossible for me to cook for you. How about ordering a meal for you?"


    She thought about it and felt guilty. After all, he had taken care of her when she was down with a


    fever, but she had lost her temper as soon as she woke up. Not only did he not get angry, he even


    sent her to the office and fetched her back.


    In this case, she should treat him to a meal to show her gratitude.


    Maddox initially wanted to taste her cooking. However, he remembered that she had just recovered


    from a fever. It wouldn''t be right for him to ask her to cook for him. Therefore, he nodded and


    agreed.


    Both of them went up together. When they entered the elevator, Minerva went in first, followed by


    Maddox. Minerva reached out and was about to press the button of the elevator.


    The elevator door slowly closed. At the same time, they heard the anxious voice of a girl.


    "Wait, wait for me!"


    She was asking them to wait for her.


    Minerva quickly pressed on the button to keep the elevator door opened.


    The elevator door opened and the girl walked in whileughing.


    "Thank you, I thought I couldn''t make it in time."


    The girl was full of smiles, but when she saw Maddox, her expression changed a little. She looked


    at Maddox in a daze. When she recalled the scene of Maddox asking her to get lost, her face


    instantly turned pale.


    At this time, a fat, middle-aged man named Brock squeezed into the elevator. He staggered a little


    and bumped against Minerva who was in the corner.


    Maddox, who was standing still with an expressionless face, suddenly moved. He grabbed


    Minerva''s waist and pulled her close to him.


    Bang!


    Minerva did not even have time to react before her soft cheeks pressed into Maddox''s chest.


    She was just about to raise her head and ask Maddox why he had pulled her in when she saw from


    the corner of her eyes that Brock had bumped into the wall she had been leaning against earlier.


    Then, he cried out in pain.


    ''Ouch! It hurts.''


    Minerva was speechless.


    Fortunately, Maddox managed to pull her away. Otherwise, she would have been crushed.


    The expression on that girl''s face became worse.


    When she first saw Maddox, she tried to strike up a conversation with him. However, he rejected


    her harshly. At that time, she was so sad that her friends had tofort her. They told her that a


    man like him probably did not care about any woman.


    But now, he was holding a woman in his arms. His face looked gentle and kind.


    He was not the same person who told her to get lost in a cold way that day.
