Chapter 587


    The sound was getting farther and farther away, until it became inaudible.


    Maddox had carried Minerva all the way to the car and ced her in the passenger seat.


    Since she did not have time to put on her shoes, she didn''t know where to ce her feet after sitting


    down. In the end, she decided to put her feet on the seat and rest her chin against her knees.


    Maddox drove the car expressionlessly.


    Minerva sat in the front passenger seat and curled up. The both of them were in a bad mood. When


    they were about to arrive home, Minerva suddenly thought of something and her face paled.


    "Since you didn''t let me put on my shoes, does it mean that you n to carry me upstairs again?"


    She asked nervously.


    Maddox let out a soft chuckle, confirming her thoughts.


    After a while, he whispered, "Isn''t that a good idea?"


    "What!?"


    Minerva cursed him angrily in her heart. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "I can''t just let


    him do whatever he wants."


    As soon as the car stopped in the parking lot, Minerva opened the door almost immediately and


    rushed out.


    She took off barefooted.


    Minerva was quite tall and could run fast.


    Furthermore, since she had not shown any signs that she would do this earlier, Maddox did not


    expect this. He quickly got out of the car and chased after her.


    Minerva''s running caught the attention of the people around her. She had never felt so humiliated in


    her life.


    When she arrived at the elevator, she was already out of breath.


    The people waiting for the elevator gave her a strange look. They looked at her as if she was a


    monster.


    Minerva bit her lower lip and wanted to exin, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no


    need.


    In any case, they were just a group of strangers.


    "Hey, it''s you."


    Suddenly, someone spoke out in the crowd. Minerva turned around and saw that it was Brock from


    the elevator that day.


    Brock took a nce at her and then looked behind her. He stepped forward and asked.


    "Why is your husband not with you today? Why are you barefooted?"


    Minerva heaved a sigh of relief and exined, "My shoes were broken. That''s why I''m barefoot..."


    As for the previous question, she ignored itpletely.


    "I see." Brock said with a smile, "Be careful not to step on anything on the ground."


    Minerva''s smile was a little awkward. "I don''t think so. The neighborhood is well-cleaned."


    Just as she was speaking, Brock eximed from behind her.


    "Your husband is here."


    His voice was a little loud and everyone turned around.


    Seeing the handsome, tall and strong maning towards them in the distance, everyone sighed.


    Brock thenplimented, "Although I am a man myself, I have to say that your husband is really


    handsome. Of course, you are also a beauty."


    The corner of Han Minerva''s mouth twitched.


    She could not say a single word.


    Since the elevator was not there yet, would Maddox catch up to her again? She didn''t want to give


    in, so she bit her lower lip, turned around and was about to take the stairs.


    "You want to relive the staircase episode again?" Maddox asked in a cold tone, causing Minerva to


    stoppletely.


    Maddox walked over with a cold expression on his face. He grabbed Minerva''s slender wrist to


    prevent her from running away again.


    "Let me go." Minerva lowered her voice and wanted to get rid of Maddox''s hand. However, he


    grabbed her wrist tightly like a mp, not allowing her to escape.


    "Are you two having a fight?" Brock was enjoying the show, or perhaps he just didn''t realize what


    was happening.


    Minerva didn''t say a word. She just wanted to get rid of Maddox''s hand. The next second, he


    stepped forward and put his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "If you resist again, do


    you want me to pick you up again in front of everyone?"


    When she heard this, Minerva instantly stopped resisting.


    There were so many people waiting for the elevator. It would be embarrassing if she was picked up


    by Maddox.


    She didn''t want to be the center of attention, so she red at Maddox and looked away.


    "The elevator is almost there. Step on my feet and get in."


    Minerva did so unwillingly. She even tried to stomp her feet. Unfortunately, since she was not


    wearing shoes, Maddox didn''t feel a thing.


    He held her waist with one hand and helped her into the elevator.


    People actually made way for them in the elevator. After entering the elevator, Brock looked at


    Minerva with a smile and said.


    "Your husband really treats you well. You should cherish him. It''s normal to argue at times. The


    important thing is to reconcile after."


    Minerva didn''t want to talk to Brock.


    Why couldn''t he just keep quiet? No one wanted his opinion.


    She could only smile awkwardly at him.


    Maddox was probably still thinking about what had happened earlier. His expression was ice- cold


    and his aura even made the temperature in the elevator lower.


    The people in the elevator got out one after another. When it reached the 18th floor, only Maddox


    and Minerva were left.


    Maddox brought her out and asked her to open the door.


    Minerva didn''t move. Maddox frowned. "You''re not going in?"


    "How am I supposed to put in the password with you here?" Minerva returned.


    Maddox paused when he heard that. After a while, a self-mocking smile appeared on his face.


    "In your eyes, I don''t even deserve to know the password to your house? Or do you think that I will


    steal your password and do something with it?"


    Minerva just kept quiet.


    "If I want to do something to you, I can do it now."


    "I didn''t mean that," Minerva exined. She just didn''t want him to know. After all, this house was


    not owned by her alone.


    "Then do it."


    After thinking for a while, Minerva said, "Close your eyes or turn around."


    He did not move and stared coldly at her. Just like that, Minerva looked into his eyes and did not


    press the password.


    Finally, Maddox sighed. "Fine. I give up."


    He then closed his eyes with a helpless expression on his face.


    Minerva felt a little guilty when she saw him like this. However, there was nothing she could do. In


    order to keep Beanie away from Maddox, she had better be careful.


    As she thought of this, Minerva quickly pressed the password and then unlocked the door.


    After the door opened, Maddox let go of her and said, "Okay, go in."


    Minerva was surprised that he did note in with her.


    "Stay at home and don''t go out. I still have something to do so I can''t apany you."


    Minerva looked up at him and replied, "You should get your things done. I''m not a child. I don''t need
