Chapter 613


    Upon hearing this, Minerva stopped. She did not dare to move another muscle anymore.


    "Hm?" Maddox hummed when she did not answer.


    She bit her lower lip awkwardly and replied softly, "I just don''t feelfortable with you carrying me


    like this, I..."


    Hisughter was somewhat helpless. "You were too tired to walk, but you don''t want me to carry


    you on my back. Should I carry you in my arms instead?"


    "I guess it''s better for you to carry me on your back then."


    She had better not think too much. Maddox had plenty of energy anyway. He might not feel any


    pressure if he carried her on his back. She should not be bothered to deal with him.


    As she thought of this, Minerva ignored him.


    As the sky gradually darkened, the pedestrians on the road would asionally nce at them


    when passing by. They looked at them enviously.


    At first, she was unustomed to it.


    However, gradually, she began to feel like how others looked at her had nothing to do with her.


    Thinking of this, Minerva felt at ease. She leaned against Maddox''s back and allowed him to carry


    her back home.


    Soon, they were about to reach their neighborhood. Minerva wasn''t sure if she was imagining it, but


    she felt that Maddox''s steps seemed to have slowed down a lot.


    The surroundings gradually quietened down. Only the rustling of leaves being blown by the wind


    apanied his footsteps.


    The night gradually fell and everything around them seemed to have be quiet and beautiful.


    The only thing Minerva could hear was Maddox''s and her own breathing, which was especially


    clear.


    "Today, you..." He suddenly opened his mouth. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded in the


    night.


    "Yeah?" She asked in confusion.


    He was silent for a long time before replying, "It''s nothing."


    Then silence was restored. Maddox carried her to the front of the elevator and then put her down.


    After arriving at the 18th floor, Minerva followed him out of the elevator and stood there quietly.


    After a while, when she heard Maddox entering the code to open the door, she suddenly came to


    her senses and looked at him in surprise.


    "How do you know the password?"


    Maddox held her hand and entered. He replied calmly, "I knew it after listening to you key in the


    password a few times."


    In fact, he had seen her put in the password once by ident. However, for him, who had


    photographic memory, one time was enough!


    Thud!


    After the door closed, Minerva was still in a state of shock. When she regained her senses, she


    questioned angrily, "You... Didn''t I tell you to turn your head when I entered the password? You


    could tell after hearing me put in the password a few times? Do you think that I would believe this..."


    The first thing Maddox did when he entered the house was to ce the bag in his hand on the table


    beside him. He then turned around, lifted both of Minerva''s hands and pressed her against the icy


    cold door.


    Her expression changed when she realized that she was being held against the door. "What are you


    doing?"


    Maddox leaned forward slightly. His hoarse voice sounded in her ears.


    "Today, you told Betty that the reason for our divorce was because I''m frigid."


    What?!


    Minerva''s expression changed drastically. Earlier, she had been worried that Betty might have


    already revealed it to Maddox. Then, on the way back, she thought that Betty might only be more


    open with her. After all, this was a topic between two women.


    She didn''t expect that Betty would say the same thing to Maddox.


    However, when did she ever say that she had divorced Maddox because he was frigid?


    Wasn''t all of this just Betty''s imagination?


    Thinking of this, Minerva started to retort, "When did I..."


    However, she could not finish her sentence. Maddox had already sealed her lips with his. Minerva


    widened her eyes and her pupils shrank. Her hands began to resist unconsciously .


    He pressed down on her hands tightly. His body pressed forward and deepened the kiss.


    Just as Minerva felt that her breath might be taken away, he suddenly retreated and pressed


    against her cold forehead, panting. "Are you not satisfied enough? Is that why you have the strength


    to talk nonsense?"


    She finally had a chance to rest. She frowned and continued, "I didn''t..."


    "Or are you protesting against me? Am I not passionate enough?"


    Before she could open her mouth again, Maddox pinched her chin to make her raise her head and


    look into his eyes.


    Minerva wanted to deny it at first, but when she looked into his eyes, she seemed to see a strange


    light shining in his eyes.


    She thought of what Betty had said to her when they were in the supermarket.


    "When you see someone you like, your eyes will shine."


    She had never really paid attention to it before, only once.


    That was five years ago...


    She remembered in a trance, that there was a light in his eyes.


    It was just some broken memories that she couldn''t put together at all.


    But now, she could see it clearly.


    Minerva''s lips moved and she replied reflexively, "l-l didn''t think that way."


    "You didn''t think so?" Maddox raised an eyebrow and continued, "That''s what you want to think


    then."


    Minerva was speechless.


    Her ears were a little hot.


    He entwined his fingers with hers. His eyes darkened and he said hoarsely, "Since that''s the case, I


    should let you have a taste of how passionate I can be."

    As soon as he finished his words, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips without giving her


    a chance to breathe.


    When she woke up again, Minerva was on the brink of passing away.


    Sheid on the bed, covered with a quilt, and thought about whether the contraceptive pill from


    before had any effect.


    Did she need to take another one?


    However, after thinking for a while, she felt that it was better for her not to take too much of it.


    She was really frustrated.


    Minerva turned over and closed her eyes in annoyance.


    In the future, if she ran into Brock and Betty again, she would have to take a detour. Otherwise,


    Minerva would not be able to take it if the incident that day happened again.


    The phone hidden under the pillow vibrated a few times. Minerva was stunned for a moment before


    she took out the phone to take a look at it.


    Beanie had sent her a Facebook message.


    Beanie asked, "Mommy, have you been busy with work recently? When will you pick me up to go


    home?"


    Looking at the cute emoji at the end, Minerva could almost see the mischievous smile on Beanie''s


    face through the screen.


    In fact, during this period of time, she had missed Beanie everyday. She wanted to return home, to


    see him running towards her and then throwing himself into her arms.


    He was her baby who had always been with her in the past. He was her precious baby.


    However, she had to send Beanie to Quill. He would be safe there.


    The Hanover family was indeed her best support.


    Minerva smiled and turned over to send a message to Beanie.


    "I miss you a lot, but I still have work to do.


    So... You''ll have to suffer for a little while longer..


    Only God knew how much she wanted to pick up Beanie right away.
