Chapter 642


    The ne finally arrived at two o''clock in the morning.


    Perhaps because she had been sitting down for too long, Minerva was still feeling a little dizzy when


    she got off the ne. Maddox, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He felt refreshed.


    Compared to him, Minerva was in much worse shape.


    This was because he had been sleeping with his head on her shoulder. He had treated her shoulder


    as a pillow instead and it caused her entire arm to go numb. However, she could not bear to


    comin one bit.


    When they were about to arrive, Maddox woke up. Seeing her bitter face, he pulled her into his


    arms and asked her to sleep for a while.


    Minerva thought to herself, "You''ve practically crushed my arm. How am I supposed to sleep?"


    It was probably because she was tired. Although she wasining in her heart, she actually fell


    into a deep sleep very quickly.


    However, before she could finish her dream, the ne began tond.


    As the ne wasnding, Minerva woke up. She felt that her palm was warm and she realized that


    Maddox had been holding her hand tightly.


    She lifted her head and nced right into Maddox''s eyes.


    When they got off the ne, he held her in his arms. They didn''t have much luggage anyway. He


    wrapped her up in his overcoat. She was so dizzy that she could barely walk.


    Maddox arranged for a private car to pick them up. After she got in the car, Minerva closed her eyes


    in a daze.


    "Take us to settle down at the hotel first. Did you prepare the toiletries and clothes?"


    Lying in Maddox''s embrace, Minerva could still feel the vibrations in his chest as he spoke.


    "Yes, Sir. The hotel room is ready for you."


    "Good."


    Maddox lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms. It was rare to see her so obedient. He


    could not help but reach out and push her hair back. Then, he lowered his head and nted a kiss


    on her forehead. He said softly, "Go to sleep. We will be at the hotel soon."

    "Mm." Minerva nodded and closed her eyes.


    She felt reassured because she knew that he was there. She did not have to worry that no one


    would wake her up even if they had arrived at the hotel. Even if she did not wake up, she would


    probably already be in the hotel room when she did.


    Minerva went to sleep with this thought in mind.


    When she woke up, she was really in the hotel room.


    There was only a warm, yellow light shining in the room. The light from themp was so soft that it


    didn''t hurt her eyes when she opened them.


    The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Minervaid there and thought for a moment.


    It should be Maddox taking a bath.


    She thought for a while and then subconsciously reached under her pillow.


    To her surprise, she felt her phone.


    Minerva pursed her lips. Did Maddox know her habits? Why would he put her phone under her


    pillow?


    Minerva''s phone had already connected to the hotel Wi- Fi. When she opened her Facebook


    Messenger, she saw that Vera had sent her a message.


    "Did you go out with Maddox? When are youing back?"


    Minerva didn''t know how to respond.


    Seeing this sentence, she sighed helplessly and then video called Vera.


    She picked up quickly. Minerva could see her face swaying about on the screen. Minerva sat on the


    edge of her bed and she wanted to ask her a couple questions.


    However, Vera suddenly cried out in surprise.


    "Good heavens, Minerva, are you in a hotel? Sh*t, you can''t pick up Beanie, because you went to a


    hotel with Maddox? Gosh, there are so many rooms at home. There are other rooms as well that


    he..."


    "Stop!"


    The more Vera spoke, the more absurd she sounded. Minerva interrupted her just in time.


    "If you keep talking, I''ll deduct your sry."


    The mention of her sry sessfully shut Vera up. She looked at Minerva in front of the camera


    and coughed softly, "Um... Isn''t what I said true? You are indeed in a hotel."


    "Yes, I''m in a hotel, but I''m abroad now."


    "Abroad? Why... Why did you suddenly go abroad?"


    "It''s a long story. Have you brought Beanie back?"


    "You''re so annoying Minerva. Beanie is also my sweetheart, isn''t he? As if I wouldn''t bring him


    home? I would have picked him up even if you didn''t call me."


    Minerva didn''t answer.


    "He''s already showered and tucked into bed. I''m practically his mother at this point!"


    "Okay, what a relief."


    "Tell me, why did you go abroad? I miss work for a day and then you run away? Did something


    happen that I didn''t know about? Can you tell me any juicy details?"


    Seeing the curiosity on her face, Minerva felt a headacheing on, "I can''t. I told you, it''s a long


    story."


    "At least try your best to summarise it for me," Vera pouted andined, "You''re in a hotel now.


    Are you sleeping with Maddox tonight? I''m so excited just thinking about it."


    As she said this, Vera was throwing a seductive nce at Minerva on the other end of the phone,


    with a flirty expression on her face.


    Creak...


    At this time, the bathroom door opened.


    Minerva raised her head subconsciously and saw Maddox walking out of the bathroom with his


    upper body naked. He had just taken a shower and his hair and face were still wet with droplets of


    water. The hot steam had made his skin a little red. The droplets of water fell along his ck hair


    onto his face and then slid down along his neck.


    Staring at him, Minerva couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.


    "Minerva, Minerva? Hurry up and tell me, are you in the same room as President Yardley? The two


    of you in one room, doesn''t that mean..."


    Beep...


    While Vera was frantically expressing her inner thoughts, the phone was suddenly cut off.


    "What''s going on?" Vera wrinkled her nose in confusion. She was wondering if the line had been cut


    off. Otherwise why would the call end so abruptly?


    "Should I call her back?"


    Hence, Vera took out her phone and dialed Minerva again.


    As soon as the video was connected, it was cut off again. After that, there was no more response


    when she redialed.


    All of a sudden, Vera realized what was going on.


    She and Maddox were in the same hotel room. The video suddenly cut off because...


    Veraughed somewhat cunningly.


    "Fine, I won''t bother them."


    On the other side, after Minerva hung up the video call, she didn''t expect Vera to call her again, so


    she quickly hung up the video again. Then, she locked the screen, switched her phone to silent and


    set it aside. When she looked up, Maddox was standing right in front of her.


    Minerva''s breath stopped.


    "You... Are you done showering?"


    Maddox stared at her with his deep eyes. His voice was hoarse as he grunted in agreement before


    he slowly leaned his body forward.


    Minerva''s heart was beating faster and faster. Just as he was about toe into contact with her,


    Minerva suddenly leaned back and said, "I... I''m going to take a bath too."


    Then she turned over to try to leave.


    However, she was still a step toote. Maddox''s body pressed down on her!
