Chapter 609


    Wasn’t it?


    Minerva wanted to avoid Benedict and head in a different direction.


    Otherwise, if Maddox saw what was happening, she would be the one who would suffer.


    Benedict put on a bitter smile and continued, "Didn''t we make it clear that day? We''ll still be friends.


    Even if we ran into each other, you don''t have to avoid me as if I''m poisonous, right? Am I that


    scary?"


    Minerva kept quiet.


    She bit her lower lip and didn''t know how to exin herself.


    "I was going to take a detour before, but since you said so, I think it''s better for me to stay with you


    so that you can change your mentality of avoiding me like the gue."


    When he finished speaking, the smile on Benedict''s face returned to normal. He stared at her firmly


    through his sses.


    "Minerva, I''m not a bad person. I wasn''t one five years ago, I am not one now, nor would I be one in


    the future. If you''re willing, I will still be your brother-inw. No matter what kind of rtionship you


    and Maddox have right now, I will never do anything that will hurt you."


    However, for Minerva, no matter whether Benedict would do something to hurt her or not, as long as


    Maddox saw her standing with him, it would hurt her.


    As she thought of this, she licked her lips and said helplessly, "Do you have to follow me like this?


    You said that it was a coincidence, but what about before this? Were those coincidences too? How


    could things be so coincidental? I haven''t been in the supermarket for so long, but I ran into you


    when I first came. Didn''t you n this?"


    The look in Benedict''s eyes faded away.


    "Minerva, if youe to the supermarket everyday, then you would meet me everyday. I live


    nearby, in the neighborhood next to yours."


    Minerva was stunned as she opened her mouth, not knowing what to reply.


    "What did you say?"


    "Isn''t it a little hard to believe? If you don''t believe it, you can ask someone to check it out. I moved


    here before you did. A lot of people, even the cashiers, know me. Because I live alone, Ie to


    the supermarket almost everyday to buy fresh goods. If I told you this, will you still think that I am


    trying to approach you on purpose?"


    Minerva''s breathing became slower and her face was a little pale.


    In the end, it was she who had misunderstood him?


    "I admit that I do want to contact you, but I mean no harm."


    "Okay, stop talking." Minerva interrupted him and lowered her gaze. "I misunderstood you. Then,


    let''s go our separate ways. You still need to buy things, and I need to go shopping too. I''ll go first."


    After saying that, Minerva turned around and walked over to Betty''s side. She looked at her and


    asked, "So, it''s settled?"


    Minerva pressed her lips together and did not reply. She just pushed the shopping cart forward.


    Seeing this, Betty quickly followed her. "What''s going on? When I saw you two chatting just now,


    both of your expressions were not very good. Did he say something unpleasant?"


    "No." Minerva shook her head. "He''s just saying that he was not following us. It just so happens that


    we''re going the same way."


    Upon hearing this, Betty suddenly came to a realization.


    "I see, but when I look at him... Why do I feel that he is deliberately following you? Wait, does he


    know that you are married?"


    At this point, Minerva paused for a moment and then turned to look at Betty.


    "Do you really want to know?"


    The older woman nodded curiously. Then, she smiled and said, "You can tell me because we are


    neighbors."


    Minerva thought about it and figured she had nothing to lose, so she said, "In fact, he''s not my


    husband."


    At first, Betty did not understand. When she came back to her senses, she widened her eyes. "You,


    you''re saying that he''s not your husband? Then just now, you..."


    "I was just trying to y along."


    Betty was stunned.


    A minuteter, Betty grabbed Minerva''s hand. "You''re too kind. You yed along even if he''s not


    your husband. We should keep in touch in the future. It''s fine even if he''s not your husband. You two


    are lovers, right?"


    "That''s not the case." Minerva shook her head.


    "Huh?" The elder sister was shocked, "T-Then what is the rtionship between you now? I think he


    treats you..."


    "He is my ex-husband."


    Betty was at a loss for words.


    There was too much information for her to process at this time. She felt as if her brain was tripping


    out. By the time she reacted, there was already a self-deprecating smile on Minerva''s face.


    "Isn''t it ridiculous? Obviously, we are not husband and wife anymore, but he keeps imprisoning me


    like this."


    After saying this, Minerva lowered her gaze and seemed to be in a bad mood.


    "Oh, it''s not ridiculous. Don''t be like this." Betty grabbed her arm and continued to move forward


    while looking back at Benedict. "In fact, it''s easier if he''s your ex-husband."


    "What?" Minerva did not understand what she meant. "It''s easier if he''s my ex-husband?"


    "Yes, if he is your ex-husband, it means that he is pursuing you now. He wants to get back together


    with you, right?"


    Minerva was stunned for a moment. She then nodded and said, "Yes, I guess..."


    Maddox had done those things just to reunite with her, hadn''t he?

    "Well, why do youck confidence in yourself? If I was as beautiful as you, I would have been


    extremely confident. Now that he''s your ex-husband, it means that there is still a chance for others,


    such as... The guy behind us."


    The guy behind them?


    Minerva frowned and looked back, only to find that Benedict was still following them.


    "There are two handsome men pursuing you at the same time. Which one do you like?"


    Minerva didn''t reply.


    "It doesn''t matter if you don''t like them. You''re so beautiful and have a lot of opportunities. Test them


    slowly. I think that the previous one is cool and I think he''s a sessful man. But... It''s not a good


    thing for a man to be too cold. For example, if he''s as cold as he is in bed, you''ll have to be the one


    to take the initiative. You wouldn''t be happy then."


    Minerva''s expression changed slightly. She asked in a low voice, "Can we not talk about this?"


    "What''s wrong with that? We''re both adults. Hey... I''m suddenly curious about the reason why you


    two got a divorce. Is he not good in bed?"


    Minerva was speechless.


    Maddox being frigid?


    How could that be possible? Everyone thought he was ipetent when he was sitting in a


    wheelchair, and only Minerva, his wife, knew that he was capable.


    Now that he could stand up, who would think that he was frigid?


    Only the cold look on his face could fool other people. He was passionate like fire and she couldn''t


    resist his fierceness.


    Why did she divorce Maddox?


    As she thought of this, Minerva''s expression became even gloomier and her eyes became a little


    more bleak. Who would have known that their marriage did not exist at all? Five years ago, she was


    just a woman who married him under the name of Erica Shell.
