Chapter 580


    Minerva paused, then quickly turned around and ced the order.


    "Since you don''t mind, I''ll order the meal then." After that, she turned around and headed upstairs.


    As she walked up the stairs, she said, "You can just sit around. Remember to collect the food when


    the order arrives. I''m going to get changed."


    Minerva went upstairs and entered her room. In order to prevent Maddox from entering likest


    time, she locked the door from the inside. She didn''t want him to appear in her room while she was


    changing.


    After all, he was ascivious man.


    After putting on her clothes, Minerva washed her face. In the mirror, she noticed that her skin had


    been dry recently, so she applied a face mask. When it was almost time, she went downstairs.


    As soon as she went downstairs, the doorbell rang.


    It seemed that the delivery had arrived.


    "I''ll get it." Maddox got up and went to the door.


    Since he was collecting the delivery, Minerva went to the kitchen to prepare the tes and cutlery.


    Maddox then ced the delivery on the dining table. She looked at him and said, "Go wash your


    hands first. I''ll serve the food."


    Maddox looked at her with a deep gaze and nodded. Then, he turned around and entered the


    washroom.


    Seeing that he was going to wash his hands, Minerva opened the takeaway box. As soon as the


    container was opened, something jumped straight at her face. She stepped back vigntly but failed


    to control herself from screaming. In the process, she identally knocked over the food.


    At the same time, she couldn''t keep her bnce and fell onto the cold floor uncontrobly.


    The moment that Maddox turned on the tap in the washroom, he heard Minerva''s scream. Without


    hesitation, he rushed out of the washroom.


    The first thing he noticed was Minerva sitting on the ground. He quickly rushed forward to help her


    up.


    "Are you alright?"


    Minerva stared at the thing that had popped out of the food. She was still in a state of shock.


    It turned out that the box was filled with springs, and the thing that jumped out was a dead rat.


    Three words were written on the package in red ink.


    "Go to hell!"


    The ink made the words look as if they were written with blood. It was terrifying.


    Maddox hugged her with one hand and narrowed his eyes at the scene before him.


    "It''s my fault. I should have checked first." Maddox helped her up. Minerva must have been


    frightened because when she got up, her legs went limp and she fell down again.


    Maddox picked her up and put her on the sofa next to him.


    Perhaps because she was frightened, Minerva grabbed Maddox''s palm tightly. She was gripping


    him so tightly that her nails were piercing his skin.


    However, Maddox didn''t seem to feel any pain. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and


    gave Sam a call.


    "Go and check the delivery from Delica Restaurant, as well as the person who delivered the food


    just now. Also, send the surveince video around thismunity to my mobile phone."


    "Yes, I need it right away. Immediately."


    "Also, send my current location to Carol. Ask her toe over and cook."


    Minerva, who had been trembling on the sofa, suddenly reacted when she heard this. She held


    Maddox''s hand and shook her head. "No, I can cook..."


    Maddox held her hand tightly, as if he was trying to give her strength. At the same time, he gave her


    a look that made her fall silent. Then he repeated coldly, "Yes, right now."


    After hanging up the phone, Han Minerva looked at him and couldn''t say a word.


    Maddox reached out to her head and gently stroked it like he was coaxing a child. "Don''t worry. I''ll


    handle it."


    Han Minerva''s brows furrowed.


    "This isn''t right."


    "Yes."


    "Logically speaking, didn''t you find someone to keep an eye on them? Furthermore, you have been


    with me all day. They should have known that we''re being careful. Why would they take action


    today? Especially by executing such a prank."


    Maddox stared at her, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions.


    She had truly changed a lot.


    She had obviously been frightened just now. Although she was holding his hands so tightly, she


    could still analyze the situation calmly.


    Just how much had she grown over the years?


    Maddox suddenly felt sorry for her.


    "I suspect that there are two sides that are responsible for this incident. Today, this incident..."


    She stopped mid-sentence because Maddox suddenly hugged her and had suddenly lifted her up.


    He opened his arms wide and held her tightly in his embrace.


    Just like that, her cheeks were pressed into his warm chest without any warning.


    "Don''t think too much. This is not what you should be thinking of now."


    Han Minerva paused for a moment and felt a lump in her throat.


    "Let me handle this."


    Maddox sighed softly. "I was careless. I thought that as long as I was by your side, they wouldn''t


    dare to do anything. I''ll pay extra attention in the future. This won''t happen again."


    "I''ll be with you for the next few days."


    Her nose twitched and tears blurred her eyes.


    Minerva thought about what had just happened. When she had opened the food package,


    something had jumped at her, which was a huge shock.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    While she was in fear, Maddox had protected her. That was why she was so touched.


    She thought about if she would have felt the same way even if it wasn''t Maddox by her side, but


    someone else.


    As she thought of this, Minerva forced herself to hold back her tears. Her eyes were wide open but


    she didn''t let her tears fall down.


    She bit her lower lip and opened her mouth gently.


    "I know, I just wanted to say... What happened today may not have been done by the same person


    fromst night. I..."


    She did not have the time to say anything else because Maddox had already backed away and then


    leaned down and kissed her, sealing all her words between his lips.


    Minerva''s eyes widened. Tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes, along her fair cheeks and


    finallynding on her lips. Maddox didn''t care about it and continued kissing her.


    The kiss became a little salty. Minerva''s tears started to flow more and more. Maddox''s heart ached


    so much that he held her cheeks with both hands and kissed her tears away.


    Finally, he put his hand on her forehead and said in a soft tone.


    "Don''t cry. If you keep crying, I''ll be full from drinking your tears."


    Minerva was speechless.


    At first, it was a romantic scene and Minerva had almost fallen for him again. However, his words


    had immediately ruined the romantic atmosphere.


    "Hmm?" Maddox reached out to rub her chin. Heughed softly and continued, "You didn''t clean up


    thoroughly after you were done with your face mask. If you continue crying, your wrinkles will pop


    out."


    Minerva fell speechless.


    She reached out to touch her chin. Hadn''t she cleaned her face thoroughly just now after putting on


    the mask?
