Chapter 664


    Maddox did not say anything. His eyes were as dark as the night as he stared at her.


    Under his gaze, Minerva felt her heart slowly sinking. She didn''t want to say it but he forced her to.


    She came clean. Although he said he wouldn''t get angry, his gaze said otherwise...


    It was obvious that he didn''t trust her.


    Minerva was angry and red at him. She pushed him away and was about to leave.

    However, before she could take another step, Maddox grabbed her wrist again. She was furious


    and shouted, "Let me go!"


    He leaned over with his tall body and pressed her against the door.


    "What''s wrong? I''ve been waiting for you here for so long while you went to see another man. Am I


    not allowed to sulk and be jealous?"


    She replied loudly, "You promised me that you wouldn''t get angry at me."


    "Did I yell at you? Or lose my temper at you?" He replied coldly.


    Minerva couldn''t answer.


    She instantly froze where she was. When she saw Maddox''s ice- cold expression, she felt wronged.


    The guilt she felt earlier vanished and the rest of it... was grievance.


    She bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes.


    After a while, she closed her eyes and epted her fate.


    "Yes, you didn''t lose your temper at me or shout at me. I''m the one who''s making this a big deal,


    okay? I''ve said my piece. Can I go inside now?"


    Maddox stared at her.


    Looking at Minerva with her eyes lowered and a look of extreme grievance upon her face, he felt


    helpless.


    The person who was left alone was him. He waited by her door like an idiot for so long. After she


    told him she was at a nearby supermarket, he ordered his staff to carry the presents inside.


    Meanwhile, he went to the supermarket to look for her.


    In the end, he couldn''t find her. Now, she was telling him that she was actually at the hospital.


    Not only had she gone to see another man, he was a man who had feelings for her.


    Maddox closed his eyes and suddenly reached out to hold her tightly; his grip was forceful.


    "Mm..."


    Before she could push him away, she heard his gnashing voice ringing in her ears.


    "Can you me me? I shouldn''t have spoken harshly to you, nor should I have waited for you here


    in advance. I shouldn''t have gone to the supermarket to look for you like a fool. I went in circles


    looking for you because I was worried something might have happened to you..."


    Minerva''s hand on his chest froze. She stood perfectly still with her mouth ajar, unable to say


    anything.


    "Y- You went to the supermarket to look for me?"


    Maddox did not respond.


    "But... Didn''t I tell you to wait for me for a while?"


    "How could I not be worried?"


    Minerva sighed in her heart.


    Forget it. How could she stay mad at him?


    Even if Maddox was harsh to her, it was only because he cared. He was acting this way because he


    was jealous. If he did not react after she told him the truth, or if he was okay with it, that would really


    infuriate her.


    When she thought of this, she said somewhat vexedly, "Forget it. I can''t be bothered to argue with


    you. Why were you waiting for me?"


    “A gift."


    Maddox answered unhappily.


    "What gift?" Minerva was a little confused. This man rushed to her doorstep to wait for her right after


    he got off work. What on earth did he prepare for Beanie?


    "Go in and you''ll know."


    Maddox held her hand, walked to the door and skillfully punched in her password.


    She couldn''t help but roll her eyes at the sight of it.


    "You opened the door and went in while I wasn''t home?"


    "I remembered the password. I can''t forget it even if I wanted to."


    Creak...


    The door opened, and he pulled Minerva in.


    She was still angry. After entering, she immediately bent down and changed her shoes by the


    doorway. When she raised her head and was about to take a step in, she paused in shock at what


    was in front of her.


    "Huh! What''s going on?"


    Was she in the wrong ce?


    Why was there a pile of toy cars of different sizes and models in front of her? There were so many


    things that they were actually blocking her vision.


    "What''s all this?" Minerva was so shocked that she could not wrap her head around it.


    Maddox walked up behind her, still not saying a word.


    She stared at the pile in front of her for a long time before regaining her senses. She turned to look


    at him


    "This is the gift you were talking about?"


    He rushed to her house and waited by the door for her; was this to give all these gifts to Beanie?


    But, Beanie was out with Vera that day...


    "Yes," Maddox''s eyes darkened. He looked around and asked, "Where''s my son?"


    Minerva pursed her lips, red at him and said, "He hasn''t acknowledged you yet. Don''t get ahead


    of yourself. Furthermore... Just because you bought all these doesn''t mean that he will like you."


    Upon hearing this, his face changed slightly. He looked at her and frowned.


    "Will he not like it?"


    After asking, Maddox seemed to not know how to ce himself, "I have never interacted with a


    child, so... I didn''t know what to get. You..."


    "Forget it," Minerva shook her head. "Put the gifts aside. You''ve bought so many things. What


    should we do with them piled up here? We won''t even be able to walk through them."


    Maddox looked at the mountain of things in front of him and realized that she was right. The hall


    was filled with gifts and it was difficult to even get to the stairs.


    His lips moved and he finally said, "Move half away and leave the rest."


    "Leave the rest?" Her eyes widened. "What''s the point of keeping half?"


    "These are gifts I carefully prepared for my son. If we move them all away, what will my son y


    with when he gets back?"


    Minerva stared at him nkly.


    Was Maddox implying that he would be staying the night?


    "No way!"


    Minerva bit her lower lip. Even now, she wasn''t mentally prepared.


    What would happen when two doppelgangers meet each other?


    Would Beanie and Maddox both be surprised by how they looked?


    How would she exin it to both of them?


    She was so distressed!


    While she was worrying, Maddox already had someone move the pile. Soon, some of his staff


    members came over. After half of the pile was gone, the air cirction seemed better and Minerva


    felt a lot less suffocated. She looked at the remaining toys and told the staff members, "Move


    another half away, just leave a few behind."


    They were under Maddox''s instructions. When they heard her instructions, they couldn''t help but


    look at him for affirmation.


    Maddox looked at her and noticed that she was blinking. Her pair of clear eyes were looking at him


    calmly.


    The look in her eyes made Maddox gulp. He said hoarsely, "Do as she says."


    "Yes, Sir."


    The staff members came forward and moved away half of the gifts. Only a few remained.


    "Are you sure this isn''t too little? What if my son isn''t satisfied and he refuses to acknowledge me?"


    "Don''t worry. He won''t disacknowledge you."
