Late at night.

Sam personally drove to the airport to pick Minerva and Maddox up.

His hair was a little messy and his dark circles were very heavy. He looked tired and haggard.

He had not slept for many days.

Ever since Maddox started pursuing Minerva, most of the work fell on his assistant, Sam.

Sam's salary increased by several times as well.

However, he felt like he aged over the past few days.

If it went on like this, he would probably die young.

He hoped Maddox could get together with Minerva as soon as possible so that he wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Just as he was thinking about this, Sam saw two familiar figures appearing at the exit.

It was Maddox and Minerva.

Sam's eyes lit up. He hurriedly opened the door, got out of the car, and went up to meet them.

"Young Master Yardley."

Sam immediately realized that the two of them made up as he saw how Minerva was in Maddox's arms.

After getting into the car, Minerva fell asleep in Maddox's arms. She took out her identity card and gave it to him, "Take me to a hotel. It's too late. I don't want to go back and disturb them."

Maddox raised his hand subconsciously and took her card. Then, he held it in his hand and lowered his head to look at it. His thin lips curled up slightly.

"You don't want to disturb them? Then, I'll take you somewhere else, okay?"

She was half asleep. She nodded drowsily and said, "Okay..."

Sam quietly looked at them through the rearview mirror. Then, he blinked his eyes and asked Maddox for confirmation softly.

"Young Master Yardley, what is happening?"

"Take us to her area."

Sam could only nod and drive the car. He couldn't help but sneak a glance at the two people behind him. He realized that Maddox had been taking good care of Minerva. Moreover, she didn't resist either and had been quietly sleeping in his arms.

Perhaps... They really did make up.

"Just focus on driving."

A deep and cold voice suddenly sounded. Sam came to his senses and looked at the road before him attentively.

Maddox put the identity card away.

There were no cars around at that hour, so Sam drove quickly. When they arrived at their destination, Sam opened the door for Maddox, and he got out with Minerva in his arms.

It was her residential area.

Sam coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Yardley, didn't the Young Madam say earlier... that she didn't want to come back here? Why are you..."

"What's wrong?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. "It's not like I have nowhere to stay in this area."

Sam instantly shut up, "That's true. You have a house right opposite Young Madam's house. You could always stay there. I suppose you're taking her there tonight?"

Anyway, the two of them had already made up. Sam had no reason to say anything more. He nodded along and helped them wherever he could.

After Maddox settled Minerva in, Sam turned around and left the area.

However, before entering the elevator, Sam couldn't help glancing at the opposite side. Thinking of the little kid inside, he shook his head and left.

"Auntie Vera, you said mommy's flight was at 5, right? I waited all night, but why isn't she here yet?"

Early in the morning, as soon as Vera opened the door, she saw Beanie sitting on the sofa, swinging his two fair legs. He asked her that question with a face full of resentment.

Vera was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and touched her face to wake herself up.

"She didn't come back? That's strange. Yesterday, she told me that her plane was at five o'clock. She should have reached home at around midnight. Have you gone to the room to check?" Beanie pouted and said, "I stayed in Mommy's room last night. Humph!"

"Really? Don't tell me your mommy didn't come back all night? Wait a minute, let me call her and ask."

After that, Vera turned around and ran upstairs. Then she took out her phone and dialled Minerva's number.

Meanwhile, Minerva was fast asleep like a log. After all, she had been so tired over the past few days. Hence, Maddox placed her phone on silent. After he woke up, he took her phone outside with him. When her phone vibrated, she was completely unaware as she continued sleeping.

Vera was waiting anxiously, but no one answered. She was so anxious that she stretched her hand to support herself against the wall and said, "Why isn't she picking up? Did something happen?" She was on the edge of her seat.

Just when Vera was about to give up and end the call, someone finally picked up.

However, it was a deep male voice sounding from the other side.

"Yes?"

Vera was stunned for a while when she heard the man's voice and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

This male voice sounded a little familiar...

Vera remembered who Minerva was with for the past few days and suddenly recalled.

"Y-Young Master Yardley?"

Maddox couldn't help but frown when he heard the stammering voice coming from the other end of the phone. He said coldly, "She's still resting. What's up?"

Vera subconsciously shook her head. After shaking her head, she realized she was still on the call. He couldn't see her at all so she quickly answered, "No, nothing. I was just wondering why Minerva hadn't come home last night, so..."

"Don't worry. She's with me."

"Okay, if that is all, then I'm going to hang up..."

Vera hung up the phone, trembling, and then covered her chest with her hands.

Gosh, she was scared to death. It was Maddox who answered the phone.

Until now, Vera was still very afraid of him.

If Minerva got back together with him, that would mean she would see Maddox more often. The thought of it made her distraught.

"That cold-blooded snake. Hmm... This is too much."

"Auntie Vera, where is my mommy?"

Beanie's voice rang behind her.

Vera turned her head and saw that Beanie was behind her. She was stunned and then asked, "When did you walk up? Did you hear me on the phone?"

He blinked his eyes and then said, "I just got here. Where is my mommy? Did she answer the phone?"

"Um... Your mommy is fine. Don't worry," Vera came over and rubbed his head, "Your mommy is busy looking for a stepfather for you. Don't worry about her. Go wash up, put on your clothes and then eat breakfast. I will take you to school."

"Oh," Beanie nodded. "What does 'stepfather' mean?"

"You don't know? I thought you're usually pretty smart?"

"Mommy said... She's looking for Daddy, not a stepfather."

Daddy? Vera thought about the two similarlooking faces and shrugged her shoulders, "It's basically the same. Anyway, it's your daddy. Hurry up and get ready. I'll pick you up later in the afternoon; then you car bring me to your uncle's company. When you see your uncle, tell him you missed him so much, so you asked me to bring you to him, got it?"

"But... I don't miss my uncle at all."
