Chapter 690


    It was Maddox!


    Minerva was a little puzzled but delighted. She looked at his car, which was slowly approaching her


    in surprise. Why was he here? Was he following her?


    Could it be that he had been following her all this while?


    It wasn''t until the car stopped in front of her that Minerva walked forward. She stared at Maddox,


    who was in the driver''s seat, and asked. "Why are you here?"


    He stared at her for a while, then got out of the car to open the door for her.


    "Get in the car first."


    After getting in the car, Maddox fastened her seatbelt for her. Minerva stared at the handsome face


    right in front of her. She pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then, she uttered, "I didn''t get


    hold of my ount book."


    Listening to her words, Maddox''s movements were still neat as if he was not affected. It was as if he


    had expected this, so he was not surprised at all.


    Momentster, he drew back his hand and started driving.


    Seeing that he had been quiet, she guessed that he had expected all of this. She calmed down as


    well.


    "You''ve already expected this, haven''t you?"


    Her voice was calm and her tone was steady as well.


    "Yes," he nodded. The car took a turn and changed direction. His slender fingers gripped the


    steering wheel.


    "Since you''ve already expected this, why did you still ask me toe?" Minerva red at him. "You


    know that your actions back then angered Quill. Aren''t you going to smooth things out yourself?"


    Maddox curled his lips, "If you didn''te, how can I give him a heads-up first? Even if we want to


    reconcile, I have to greet him first. Only then can I continue."


    "Continue?"


    "Don''t worry."


    Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and touched Minerva''s fair hand. He said softly, "This time, I


    will definitely make you marry me gloriously. I will also let everyone know that you''re Mrs. Yardley."


    When Maddox said this, he turned his head and stared at her. His eyes were full of affection and


    gentleness. His dark eyes were like a ma at the moment, trying to suck her in.


    She felt her heart skip a beat. She suddenly came to her senses and shook off his hand.


    "Concentrate on driving!"


    After that, she felt something was wrong and added, "You make it sound like I am anxious to marry


    you."


    His hand was pushed away, but he was not mad at all. His thin lips curved into a graceful smile,


    "Well, it''s me who is anxious to marry you. Is that okay with you, Mrs. Yardley?"


    Her ears felt warm, and she chastised him. Then, she turned her head and looked out of the


    window. She didn''t want to talk to him anymore.


    After sending her back to the Ocean Vi, Maddox excused himself by saying that he had work to


    do. He then left and called Quill while driving.


    When Quill saw the caller ID, he snorted coldly and picked it up.


    "President Hanover."


    Quill pressed his lips together. His deep eyes were staring right ahead, and he didn''t say a word.


    "I''m Maddox. Do you have time for a cup of coffee?"

    He didn''t expect Maddox toe straight to the point, skipping any pleasantries.


    Quill sneered in his heart. This man was straightforward and eager to marry Minerva.


    "Where?" He asked.


    "The previous bar we met at."


    The reason why he chose this ce was obvious.


    When Quill arrived, Maddox had already booked the VIP golden lounge on the ground floor. He was


    waiting for Quill.


    After pushing open the door, he saw Maddox sitting on the sofa with his legs crossedzily. The


    lights in the room were a little dim.


    Maddox''s sharp and angr profile had be even more handsome and profound at this


    moment.


    "Huh, he looks like a wolf in sheep''s clothing."


    In fact, in Quill''s eyes, Maddox''s appearance was well-matched with Minerva. When they stood


    together, they looked like a perfect match. Besides, he also had a prominent family background.


    Of course, this was if Maddox hadn''t hurt Minerva five years ago.


    After what had happened five years ago, as Minerva''s elder brother, Quill had personally witnessed


    her suffering.


    How could he bear to see her go through all of that again?


    Thinking of this, Quill made up his mind and stepped into the room.


    Seeing Quill arriving, Maddox''s lips curved into a faint smile. "I thought that you wouldn''te."


    Quill shot a nce at him after hearing his words. His eyes were cold and indifferent.


    "I''m here to tell you to leave Minerva."


    "Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.


    It was as Maddox had expected. Not only did Quill not agree with the two of them being together,


    but he also tried to separate them?


    It seemed that it was not an easy task for him to pursue Minerva.


    "Do you think I''ll give you my blessing?" Quill''s tone was ice- cold. "Girls tend to be softhearted, but


    as her brother, I vividly remember what you''ve done to her back then. You don''t have the right to


    pursue her or even show up in front of her."


    His tone gradually became serious, and it didn''t sound like a joke.


    There was a faint smile on Maddox''s face from the beginning, even though Quill didn''t show any


    mercy to him.


    Maddox had an insufferably arrogant character. He would not lower his head in front of anyone.


    Of course, except for the woman he loved most, it was probably impossible for him to act humble in


    front of anyone else.


    Therefore, even if he wanted to negotiate with Quill, his attitude at the moment was still arrogant


    and mighty.


    "I remember that I said that I''m determined to win her heart as well."


    "Minerva''s an adult and has her own life. Besides, I have a child with her. What right do you have to


    stop us from being together? How much do you know about the incident five years ago? A random


    stranger who doesn''t know anything about it wants to convict me?" Maddox snorted.


    Hearing this, Quill squinted his eyes and stared at him with a frown.


    "You don''t admit that you hurt Minerva back then?"


    He raised his head and looked into Quill''s eyes.


    "Yes, I admit it."


    Quill was stunned when he heard that. He initially thought that Maddox would be stubborn and not


    willing to admit his mistake.


    But what did Maddox mean just now?


    Quill narrowed his eyes and stared at Maddox in confusion.


    "But that was between me and her. The rtionship between us had always beenplicated.


    Back then, someone purposely sabotaged us and made things difficult for us, which resulted in a


    misunderstanding." Maddox added.


    Hearing this, Quill sneered. "Even if someone purposely made things difficult for you, if you really


    loved Minerva, you wouldn''t hurt her either."


    "You are not wrong." Maddox pursed his lips. "That''s true. If I trusted her enough, I wouldn''t suspect


    that she had an affair with Benedict. She also wouldn''t investigate my matters behind my back."


    Hearing this, Quill was taken aback, and his pupils shrank.


    As a matter of fact, the two of them did not trust each other back then.


    No matter how madly in love a couple was, if they did not have enough trust in their rtionship,


    eventually, the rtionship would beplete chaos.


    In reality, there were simply too many things that required two sides'' trust.
