Chapter 890


    After being taken into the room, Maddox brought Minerva to wash her hands at the sink. Only then did she realize that there was a wound on her


    hand.


    She squatted down to pick up the pieces and had identally scratched them.


    At that time, she was stunned and then stood up. She couldn''t understand how things had turned out like this.


    She looked at the wound and asked, "How did you find such a small wound?"


    He didn''t know how to respond to her.


    He pursed his thin lips in a displeased way and then put her injured part into his mouth and gently sucked it.


    "You!" She was anxious. Her face was red, and she wanted to pull her hand back.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    However, he was too powerful. He held her hand all the time and didn''t let her go until a long timeter. He said coldly, "Don''t do these things


    anymore. Call the nanny back."


    She curled her lips and said, "It was just an ident. I''ve always done well in the past, but..."


    She hesitated for a moment and was still curious about what Abigail had said to Maddox in the living room. She hid her hands behind her back and


    asked, "Did my aunt say anything to you?"


    He looked at her and did not answer.


    She became anxious when she saw him like this. She reached out to grab his sleeve and said, "Tell me about it."


    "What are you rushing for?"


    He said in a low and pleasant voice, with a smile hidden in his dark eyes, "Is this the ident you were talking about?"


    "No!" After a moment of silence. Minerva shook her head.


    "Don''t worry."


    When he saw she seemed to have calmed down, Maddox put his hands down to grab her hand and took held of her fair palm.


    "As for Grandpa, I will handle it. If it doesn''t work, I still have an option to elope with you, don''t 17"


    Upon hearing thest sentence, Minerva held her breath and widened her eyes. "Ar-Are you telling the truth? If Master Collins disagrees, will you...


    return to Hidalgo with me?"


    "If I really have no other way, I can only do this." The hand that was still holding her hand had moved to the corner of her mouth. He leaned over and


    said in a low voice, "I''l have to rely on you to take care of me then.”


    Without a second thought, she grabbed his hand and nodded, saying, ''TH take care of you!"


    Without any hesitation.


    The contract Maddox had given to Quill before the wedding was almost equal to giving her all his property. For him, she was more important than


    anything else.


    For her, he was naturally more important than anything else.


    Taking care of him was not a problem. Anyway, she was using his money, Minerva thought to herself.


    However, Maddox was shocked after seeing her determined lock. He looked at her in a daze for a while and suddenly smiled.


    "Why are you so stupid?”


    "What?" She was confused.


    "Shouldn''t your first reaction to hearing these kinds of words be scared?"


    She blinked her eyes. "Why would they be scared?” "Don''t you mind a man living off a woman?"


    Live off a woman?


    She subconsciously wrinkled her nose and said, "Of course I dislike those men wha live off women.”


    Before Maddox could speak, she continued, "But if this person is you, I won''t mind!"


    He waspletely stupefied.


    This woman''s feelings for him were clean and pure, without any other objectives. It seemed that no matter what he was, she would not abandon him.


    As he thought of this, he couldn''t help but hold his arms out and pull Minerva into an embrace.


    The image of seeing her for the first time appeared in his mind.


    At that time, she rushed over with a look of excitement. Looking at him, her eyes were hot and bright, like the feelings of regaining what she had lost


    Later, a man came to tell him that she had mistaken him for someone else.


    She cried and screamed that she hadn''t mistaken him, and then she was taken away.


    She treated him so well. Did she mistake him for someone else? Or did she treat him as a substitute?


    When Maddox thought of this, his eyes were filled with anger, and he held her hands more tightly.


    Minerva only felt his embrace was getting tighter. She felt as if she could not breathe. Her hand subconsciously blocked the distance between the two


    of them as if she was just a step away from him.


    Although this hug was warm, she was still worried that it would hurt the baby.


    However, this action made him frown. He increased the distance between them. "What''s wrong?"


    She came to her senses and smiled, "No."


    Seeing that her heart and eyes were filled with him, Maddox felt that he was thinking too much. She had already called her aunt over. How could she


    treat him as a substitute?


    "It''s fine." He hugged her in his arms again. This time, his strength was much softer than before.


    After lunch, Maddox left. Before leaving, he called the nanny toe back. Minerva wanted to say something, but then she fell silent under his


    gloomy eyes.


    After that, the nanny came over. She greeted Minerva and Abigail and then went to the kitchen.


    Minerva was a little helpless. When Abigail saw her like this, she couldn''t help but tease her. "If you didn''t break the te, he wouldn''t have called the


    nanny back."


    Upon hearing this... Minerva felt a little awkward. "Auntie, do you think that I broke the te on purpose?"


    Abigail raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Didn''t you?"


    Minerva refuted, "No, it''s not like that!"


    Abigail wore a faint smile and obviously did not believe her. Minerva increased her tone. "Auntie, I''m not lying!"


    She opened her mouth and wanted to exin for herself, but looking at Abigail''s expression, she felt that she''d better talk less. No matter what she


    said, Abigail would only think that she broke the tes on purpose.


    The two women didn''t have so much to talk about when they were together. After a while, Abigail felt bored and said that she wanted to go back.


    Minerva sent her to the door. When she opened the door, she happened to meet the butler, Baldrick, who was about to reach out to press the


    doorbell.


    When his hand reached the doorbell, the door opened, and then their eyes met.


    Both sides were stunned for a moment.


    A momentter, he awkwardly put his hand down and rubbed his hands together. He nodded at the two of them and revealed an embarrassed smile.


    Just as he was about to speak, Abigail crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him coldly.


    "Baldrick, I don''t even want to answer the phone. Do you think I will go to see him?" Abigail didn''t even bother to be polite. She knew Baldrick''s


    purpose foring here, so she said it directly.


    His expression was also a little


    awkward. Hefnced at Minerva,


    who was standing next to her, and.
