Chapter 684


    When Minerva arrived, she did not see Maddox anywhere. She could not help but ask in confusion.


    "Didn''t you say that he was waiting for me here? Why is he not around?"


    The servant standing in front of the table hurriedly exined, "Young Madam, Sir went out to


    answer a phone call. Please take a seat first."


    She respectfully pulled out a chair for her. The fear in her eyes was as if she was afraid of offending


    her. Minerva could only smile at her, "Thank you."


    The servant was dumbfounded, and a shy expression immediately appeared on her face.


    She really didn''t expect that Minerva was actually more cordial and polite than she thought. Young


    Master Yardley had such a good taste for women.


    "Young Madam, let me pour you some fresh fruit juice."


    "Okay, thank you."


    After the ss of fruit juice arrived, Minerva took a small sip. In fact, this drink was not particrly


    delicious. It was different for people who actually liked juice, but she was not so fond of it.


    However, it was a good thing that she was not a picky eater. Although she did not like the taste, she


    drank more than half of the ss.

    Just then, Maddox finished the call and saw that Minerva was already at the dining table. He was


    stunned for a moment before walking over to sit beside her.


    The servants looked at each other and left in unison.


    "Isn''t today Sunday? Do you still have work to do?" She asked as she looked at the phone in his


    hand.


    He paused for a moment. His dark eyes avoided her gaze. He pursed his thin lips lightly, "It''s not


    about work."


    Not work?


    She blinked. "Then, who called you?"


    Thinking of the phone call just now, his lips curled up slightly. "Do you really want to know?"


    Hearing this, Minerva showed her hand to him. She ced the diamond ring on her long, slender


    fingers and said, "You''ve already asked me to marry you. Even though you''re not sincere, but... I


    can ask about your matters, right?."


    Maddox leaned over and whispered in her ear. Her face immediately flushed red. "What did you


    say?"


    "Are you unwilling?"


    She bit her lower lip and stared at him in front of her.


    "Are you joking?"


    As soon as she said that, Maddox, whose eyes had a hint of a smile in them, instantly became


    serious, and he spoke in a livid tone.


    "Do I look like I''m joking?"


    "It doesn''t seem like it."


    "Good."


    Maddox pinched her nose and said softly, "Remember what I said just now, okay?"


    Minerva rubbed her nose that had been pinched by him and blinked in embarrassment. If she told


    Quill what Maddox had just told her...


    Quill, her brother... Would he chase her out of the Hanover family?


    Well, this was a problem worthy of being delved.


    After breakfast, they parted ways. She sat in the room in a daze. When she was thinking about what


    reason she coulde out with, Vera called.


    "Hello?"


    Minerva picked up the phone, but the cute voice on the other end of the phone was Beanie.


    "Mommy!"


    "Beanie?" Hearing his voice, Minerva was a little surprised. "You got up so early? You don''t have to


    go to school today, do you?"


    "Yes!" He answered excitedly, "Mommy, are you with that person?"


    That person?


    At first, Minerva didn''t recall who he was referring to. After giving it some thought, realization


    dawned on her. Beanie didn''t want to recognize Maddox as his daddy yet, so he didn''t want to


    address him.


    However, she didn''t expect that he would use the word "that person" to describe Maddox.


    She sighed helplessly, "I told you that he is your daddy, right? Why did you call him that person?


    Isn''t it impolite?"


    Beanie snorted, "I don''t want to call him daddy."


    "What about addressing him?"


    Beanie had always been very polite. No matter who he met, he would address them politely, but


    when facing Maddox... He used "that person" to address him!


    "He is not worthy of my respect."


    Hearing this, Minerva couldn''t help frowning. "Who taught you this? Didn''t he always bring you


    around these few days? Isn''t he worth your respect?"


    "Humph, he bullied you. Why should I respect him? Mommy... Don''t speak up for that man. How did


    he treat you in the past? Have you forgotten?"


    "How did he treat me in the past?"


    "Mommy, have you forgotten?"


    "I mean, how do you know about this?" Minerva had never mentioned such things to Beanie. Not to


    mention these, she rarely even mentioned his father.


    As such, how did he know about all these matters? He had only just met Maddox a few days ago.


    How did he know so much?


    The expression on Beanie''s face changed slightly. After a moment, he pouted, "Humph, you don''t


    have to worry about how I knew, Mommy. I know that he''s a bad guy!"


    Upon hearing that Beanie was so arrogant, Minerva thought for a moment. He was only a few years


    old, and it might be Vera who told him these things all of a sudden.


    She was the one who raised him, and it was normal for him to fight for her justice.


    Thinking of this, Minerva could only answer softly, "Alright, as a child, don''t stick your nose into adult


    affairs. You''re still young and don''t understand these things. I''ll tell you when you grow up in the


    future, okay?"


    He snorted, "No, I will find out by myself."


    She felt helpless. She wanted to touch his hair and smooth it for him, but... she could only listen to


    his voice through the phone. Hence, she could only speak lightly.


    "Beanie, why did you suddenly call me today? Do you want me to pick you up?"


    "That won''t do. Uncle''s calling us home for dinner."


    Uncle...


    Quill... Why did he suddenly ask her to go home with Beanie for dinner?


    Generally speaking, if Quill wanted to find Minerva, he would go directly to her house. How could it


    be...


    Thinking of this, Minerva subconsciously looked at the diamond ring on her hand. Did Quill know


    about this matter? Did Vera tell him?


    No, Vera was not such a person.


    Was it... because Beanie identally made a slip of the tongue?


    Thinking of this, Minerva let out a light cough.


    She felt a little guilty.


    "Go home for dinner? What did Uncle say to you? Or did you say something to him?"


    "Oh," Beanie let out a cry. "Mommy,e and pick me up, and I''ll tell you."


    She replied, "Since when did you learn to be so naughty?"


    Forget it, Quill would know sooner orter. Even if he didn''t ask her to go back for a meal, Minerva


    would still do so.


    "Well, stay at home and wait for me. I will pick you upter."
