Minerva took a glance at him and said after some thought, "I was the one who asked her to leave the office today. There was no proper handover of work, therefore there's a lot to do in the office now." "Okay." Maddox replied again, and then said, "Take your time and do it. Don't wear yourself out. Don't forget that you're a pregnant woman now."

She finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked, "Aren't you going to ask why she resigned? Or why I let her leave?"

He didn't answer her question. The traffic turned red and the car stopped at the light. She saw him leaning towards her all of a sudden. He pinched her slender chin and planted a kiss on her lips.

"Hmm."

She subconsciously resisted his body with her hands, trying to stop him from coming closer.

However, his movements were fast and flexible. He pried open her mouth and bit her lip.

There were still twenty seconds left on the traffic light. The kiss lasted for about five seconds; it wasn't long but it was a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended, she was breathing heavily and she felt out of breath.

"I didn't want to ask because I didn't want it to get in the way of exchanging our feelings with each other."

The timer on the traffic light turned to zero and the light switched gradually.

Maddox continued driving with a calm expression on his face as if nothing had just happened.

On the other hand, Minerva's face turned blood red from blushing. When he leaned over to kiss her earlier, their car window was halfway down and she noticed that the driver of the car next to them had witnessed the passionate exchange.

"That was so embarrassing!"

She stretched out her hands and held her hot cheeks. She licked her lips gloomily and said, "When you said exchanging feelings, did you mean this?"

After that, without waiting for his reply, she grumbled, "It was just an excuse for you to take advantage of me!"

"Take advantage of you?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at her mockingly. "Weren't you the one with the face full of enjoyment? How could you say that I was taking advantage of you?" "Maddox Yardley!"

"What?" "You shut up!"

Who said my face was full of enjoyment?

She couldn't have had that expression on her face! How dare he say that about her!

Minerva's face flushed red again as she felt angry. "Maddox Yardley, you b*stard, always taking advantage of me but putting the blame on me!"

Before this, without doing anything, she was dragged onto his lap and kissed aggressively by him. Then, he complained about her for seducing him.

Now, he was going on about how she was making a face full of enjoyment? How could it be possible?

He looked to the side and saw his wife panting in anger. He just wanted to tease her but he didn't think that she would react so aggressively. He tried to save the situation when he thought about her being pregnant.

"Fine, I took advantage of you this time. I wanted to kiss you. Are you happy?"

She snorted in her heart and said angrily, "That's the truth all along!"

He did not argue with her any longer. He brought her to a restaurant and booked a small private room that was suitable for two people. After ordering, he carried her and put her on his lap.

"What are you trying to do again?" Minerva pushed him away warily. However, Maddox had great strength and was holding onto her tightly. He controlled his strength well so she wasn't able to escape but he wasn't hurting her as well.

Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened. "Don't tell me you intend to... in this room..."

Before she could finish her words, his lips were on her lips again. The private room had a heater and it was warm inside but the two of them had not adjusted to the temperature yet as they came in from the outside.

Thus, when their lips touched, their lips were both icy cold.

However, after a while, she felt that his lips had turned hot from cold. His lips were gliding across hers repeatedly. He was incredibly

face, holding her like an inval.net

focused and his hands were on her

possession.

She blinked her eyes as her mind was moving.

He wasn't done kissing me in the car so he's kissing me in here?

Or did he bring me here with an intention?

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard a sigh in her ear. It was followed by his resentful voice saying, "Are you distracted right now because my skills aren't good enough?"

She came back to her senses and

saw that his gaze had changed under the light. He had a gaze of a wolf, deep and serene. It seemed that if she were to answer yes, he would immediately pounce on her and devour her alive with no bones left.

Thinking of that, she shivered for no reason and shook her head violently.

"No, that's not it."

"No? Or is it because I'm not trying hard enough?"

Minerva felt shy about being asked such a question. She bit her lip and pinched Maddox on his ear.

"Are you done with your questions? You know I can't answer them but you won't stop asking! Moreover, we are here for a meal, not here to do this. You'd better stop it!"

He didn't expect her sudden change in tone. She used a little strength as she pinched him so Maddox felt pain on her ear.

The heat of romance disappeared in an instance.

He looked at her speechlessly for a while and said, "You are really great at ruining the moment."

She took her hand back and got off him.

Of course.

If she didn't ruin the moment, she would have led him on. She couldn't do anything with him at the moment and wouldn't he feel worse by then? Then, she sat down in the furthest seat away from him and said seriously, "From now on, you're not allowed to kiss me without my permission." He was confused.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman who deliberately chose the farthest seat away from him. After a while, he sneered and said, "What does this mean?"

She did not explain and added, "You heard what I said. If you were to kiss me without my permission in the future, I'll be upset with you!"

They had rarely seen each other in the past few days due to work matters. If they weren't having dinner together, they would barely have the chance to talk to each other.

He looked at the serious expression

on her face as she gave him her orders. He initially wanted to earn himself some benefits. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table then paused as his thin lips curled up.

She could give me orders but I don't necessarily have to obey them.

She would be upset with me? We're a married couple. How angry would she get about this?

After making up his mind, Maddox didn't argue with her anymore.

Soon, the dishes were served. While the two of them were eating, Minerva suddenly thought of something. "When will you be more free from work?"

He glanced at her and said, "Soon, in about a week's time."

"Well, I'll try to finish up with all the affairs in the company within this week."

"And then?"

"Then we'll go take a look at the Yardley family's old mansion."
