Chapter 909
As Maddox was lost in his thoughts, he continued to stare at her with the same posture.
Minerva found a hint of unhappiness in his dark eyes, and she instantly lost her confidence. Was she joking too much? Was that why he was angry?
When she was thinking of this, she could only reach out to tug his sleeve. She asked in a low voice, "What''s wrong?"
He came back to his senses and saw that her expression and eyes were looking weakly at him. The thoughts that had filled his mind just now
disappeared without a trace.
Forget it. What was the point in thinking about that?
As long as she was by his side, it was fine. The way she locked at him and her attitude towards him was not fake. Who she loved before and who she
liked, what did it matter?
However, he was so jealous of that man that he was about to go crazy.
The baby in her stomach..
Maddox felt something touching his cheek and saw Minerva locking at him worriedly. "What''s wrong with you? You''ve been lost in thought. Did I say
the wrong thing just now?"
He regained his senses and replied to her, "No, don''t think too much.”
Had she thought too much? She bit her lower lip. "But I always feel like you''ve been in a bad moodtely. Did I do something wrong?"
Maybe she was too proud, so she was socent in front of him just now. If she had known that he didn''t like it, she shouldn''t have been like this.
While she was thinking, he suddenly raised his hand and gently tapped her on the tip of her nose.
She came back to her senses and looked into his deep and serene eyes. Then, she saw his thin lips and said softly, "What are you thinking about?
I''m in a bad mood because you''re in the hospital. How do you think I''m in a good mood?"
It seemed to be very reasonable this way.
She was in the hospital, and she had almost fallen off the stairs after being kidnapped. How could he be in a good mood?
Had she been overthinking?
Maddox said, "Pack up our things. Let''s go home."
He held her hand and walked into the wardC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.
The two of them packed up their things. Abigail heard that Minerva was about to be discharged from the hospital, so she went to the apartment ahead
of time. She nned to cook some nutritious food to nourish Minerva''s body.
Minerva got in the car and remembered that it was the New Year.
Cn New Year''s Eve, the whole family was supposed to stay together.
However, Maddox had not regained his memory. She had no way to pick up Beanie and celebrate the New Year with him. However, she had printed
his photo, kept it in a frame, and locked it in her drawer.
If she took that photo frame with her, would it mean that they were celebrating the New Year together?
She just took it as a thought for herself.
Minerva suddenly said, "I want to go back to the rental house, is that okay?"
Since she had moved in with Maddox, the rental house had been empty. There were still some things in it that she hadn''t moved out yet, so she
hadn''t moved out.
He nodded. "Okay." Then, he changed the direction of the car.
Fifteen minutester.
The car stopped at the apartment building. She pushed open the car door and got out. He wanted to go upstairs with her but was rejected by her.
She said, "I''ll take just a few things. Wait for me in the car. I''ll be out in a few minutes.”
She wanted to get the frame of Beanie. If Maddox went with her. It would be bad if he saw it.
He stared at her. "You don''t need me to keep youpany?"
She shook her head and said, "No, I''ll be quick. Also, I won''t be carrying anything heavy. You really don''t have to keep mepany.”
He did not insist any longer when he saw that she did not seem to need him to apany her. He pursed his thin lips and nodded. He said, "Call me
if anything happens.”
"Alright."
She turned around and went upstairs. She took out the key and opened the door. The woman next door came out with a garbage bag. Surprise
shed across her face when she saw her.
The woman asked, "It''s you. Why did youe back?"
Minerva was stunned for a moment when she saw her. She recalled what she had saidst time and didn''t want to talk to her. She just nodded to her
and continued to open the door.
The neighbor saw that Minerva did
not respond, and her heart was filled
with jealousy-She said angrily,
"Could it behat the rich man
abandoned you and that''s why you
came hack? I said it, when you went
out ofthe house, you didn''t even
check it out. You must be thinking
even if there''s no man whe wants
you someday, you would have a
ce to stay. s, I say, how much
money did you earn from that man?
I can see that the car he drives
seems to be very luxurious.” Content

Crack...
Minerva opened the door and pushed it open.
She turned her head and looked at her with no expression on her face. Her eyes were so cold that there was no trace of warmth in them as if she was
locking at a dead person.
The neighbor was scared by her gaze and curled her lips guiltily. "I. I''m not wrong. A woman like you has only been here for a short time, but you''ve
already found a rich man. You''re using illegal means, aren''t you?"
Minerva pursed her lips and sneered, "It''s none of your business!"
The neighbor was speechless. "How, how could you say that?"
"What? Do you find my words unpleasant?”
Minerva took out the key and turned around, before walking towards the neighbor. "Then remember to record it the next time you speak. Go home.
listen to it and hear what you''re talking about.”
The woman didn’t know what was going on. She was obviously a few centimeters taller than Minerva, but her aura was much weaker in front of her.
"I, I''m not talking about something unpleasant. I''m just telling the truth.”
"What''s the truth? Have you seen it with your own eyes? I haven''tined about you disturbing people at midnight, but you repeatedly gossip
behind me? If you are jealous, why don''t you hook up with a man so that he can take you out of this slum in a short time?”
Thest sentence hit the woman''s heart. She suddenly widened her eyes. "You, what nonsense are you talking about? You don''t feel ashamed, but
feel proud?"
"Why should I feel ashamed? After all, you are already so jealous that you are going crazy, aren''t you? Otherwise, you wouldn''t have seen me and
said something unpleasant to me."
Minerva wasn''t angry at all. Her gaze was cold, and her tone was indifferent. However, every sentence she said hit a spot in the woman''s heart.
She took a few steps back and red hatefully at her.
inerva pursed her lips. "You
retreated justiike that? You''re
always causing trouble for me. I
thought you were powerful, but you
have nathing to say after I said afew
things? Since that''s the case, don''t
come and provoke me again-in the

In fact, this was not a slum.
However, in the eyes of the woman,
she really disliked this ce. She
had always wanted to live in a big
house, so wien she saw Minerva
being taken away by Maddox, she
becamg-more and mo e jealous-and
felt that her boyfriend was useless.
She ven felt disappointed..She
could have been like Minerva,
hooking up with a handsome, young,
rich, and powerful man. Why would
she waste her youth here with a
poor man?
The more the woman thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She would always find her boyfriend to argue with him and vent her anger. Her
boyfriend would be annoyed by her and run out to drink. She did not have anyone to vent her anger on. When she saw Minervae back, she
began to cause trouble for her.
