Chapter 612


    Since a long time ago, Maddox and Benedict hadpletely fallen out with each other, and the


    days of them greeting each other no longer existed.


    Sure enough, after Maddox said this, the expressions on everyone surrounding them quickly fell.


    Was there a feud between them?


    When Betty heard this, she instantly widened her eyes and eximed, "I didn''t expect him to be so


    domineering. That''s a good reply, but... Are they brothers?"


    Suddenly, Betty gazed at Benedict with some curiosity. How would he respond after being


    humiliated in public?


    Benedict finished paying the bill. He put away the card and walked forward. He did not show any


    negative emotions on his face. Instead, he remained gentle and peaceful.


    He then returned calmly, "Are you still ming me for that incident? I didn''t mean for that to


    happen."


    "Huh," Maddox sneered. He really didn''t care about him at all. Seeing that Benedict''s eyes were


    staring at his hand, which was holding Minerva, he gripped her hand even tighter. He even forced


    their fingers to be intertwined.


    "You didn''t mean for that to happen? Were you forced by someone else?"


    Benedict looked at him. Their eyes met in the air and sparks flew. It was as if a war was about to


    break out.


    Minerva knew that they didn''t get along, but she didn''t expect them to fall out with each other to this


    extent. Maddox''s desire to urgently show his possessiveness in front of Benedict was strong. For


    example, he was holding her hand tighter than before.


    Moreover, the moment that Benedict appeared, Minerva felt that something was different with


    Maddox.


    He was... afraid.


    However, she felt that she might''ve sensed it wrongly because she quickly lost that feeling from him.


    Furthermore, she felt that Maddox would never be fearful.


    After all, how could the arrogant Maddox be afraid of seeing Benedict?


    Even if Benedict registered apany on his own, it was impossible for hispany to catch up


    with the Yardley Corporation.


    So, where did this feare from?

    Unfortunately, before Benedict could speak, Maddox had already grabbed her hand and walked out.


    He walked in front, with Minerva behind him. She could see his back and how he was holding her


    with one hand and carrying the goods with the other hand. He really looked like her husband who


    had just finished shopping at the supermarket.


    Unfortunately...


    Minerva lowered her head and the light in her eyes dimmed a little.


    Benedict looked at this scene and silently sealed away the coldness and sharpness in his eyes.


    Then, he took his things and walked out of the door.


    Brock, who had witnessed all this, sighed and asked, "What is love? I feel bad for the elder brother.


    How could he still respond so nicely after being scolded in public?"


    "Men are really naive. The elder brother''s reply was actually very smart. Did you actually think that


    he was being good-tempered?"


    "Huh?" Brock scratched his head and repeated, "Smart?"


    "You''re really simple minded. You just don''t understand, do you? In front of his beloved woman, if he


    quarrels with his brother, wouldn''t it look bad for him? Don''t think that just because he looks gentle,


    he''s nice. He''s probably full of schemes."


    "Full of schemes? How do you know that? Can you tell just by looking at him?"


    "I definitely can''t be sure, especially as this is the first time that we''ve met each other. It would be


    too much to say that he''s scheming. That''s why I only said it''s possible. I didn''t im that it''s


    confirmed!"


    After that, Betty turned around and hit him on his head.


    Brock touched his head and quickly agreed, "Oh, I see."


    "But..." She looked at Benedict''s back with her arms folded and slowly narrowed her eyes. "This


    man, even if he is not as scheming as I said, he is definitely not an ordinary person."


    "I don''t understand."


    "Never mind, let''s go home."


    Brock quickly followed behind.


    On the way back, Maddox pulled Minerva along as they were walking. She was well-behaved and


    didn''t say a word because she knew that he was in a bad mood. It was better for her to just follow


    him.


    However, he was walking so fast that Minerva couldn''t keep up with him. Finally, she couldn''t bear it


    anymore and asked, "Can you walk a little slower?"


    Maddox paused when he heard that. He turned around to look at her panting. Only then did he


    realize what he was doing.


    His eyes shed and he stopped.


    "Are you tired?"


    "What do you think?" Han Minerva red at him.


    Not only was she tired, her legs were also sore after being tormented by him. Now that she had


    been walking around and at such a speed, wasn''t he torturing her?


    Minerva was speechless. She held onto her waist and panted.


    Maddox looked around and saw that there was no ce for her to rest. He bent down and said to


    Minerva, "Come up."


    "Huh?"


    She looked at him in surprise. If she didn''t get it wrong, Maddox was trying to carry her on his back,


    wasn''t he?


    However, they were already adults. Minerva felt that a piggyback ride was something that would


    only be done by young people.


    And she...


    "What are you dawdling about?" Maddox saw that she was in a daze as she just stood there. He


    then proceeded to pull her onto his back.


    Before she could react, she could feel herself leaning against Maddox''s back. He could only hold on


    to her butt with one hand because he was carrying the bag in the other. He warned her, "Hold on


    tightly to me if you don''t want to fall."


    Then, he stood up.


    Everything happened quickly. Minerva wrapped her arms around his neck instinctively.


    He could feel her skin against his. His lips curled up in satisfaction as he carried her on his back


    and walked forward.


    They weren''t that far away from home. Looking at how he was carrying her on his back and holding


    the bag with another hand, Minerva couldn''t help but suggest, "Why don''t Ie down and walk on


    my own?"


    "Huh." Maddox smirked. "Who was the one who said that she was tired just now?"


    Minerva couldn''t answer.


    She lowered her head and looked at the blue veins on his neck. If she had known that this would


    have happened, she wouldn''t have said anything.


    After walking for a while, she still didn''t hear him panting. However, Minerva was worried that he


    would be tired, so she tried to adjust her posture while being carried. She wanted to make things


    easier for him.


    After twisting around for a while, Maddox''s breathing became heavier. He asked in a hoarse voice,


    "Why are you moving around on my back?"
