What was he saying?

Minerva was dumbfounded for a moment before she slowly came to her senses.

"You mean... You didn't think I'd come looking for you? So you thought it was just your hallucination just now?"

Maddox's eyes darkened. He was silent for a while before replying.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm hallucinating or not."

Minerva was a little lost for words.

She could not figure out what was going on with him currently. He was passionate, yet distant. She could still remember the sentence she had told him back then.

If he could not give her enough sense of security, don't approach her anymore.

After all, since experiencing so many things, she had turned into a sensitive person. And it was also because of this that she could put herself into his shoes.

She felt that since it was always him who took the initiative to approach her, now, it was time for her to take the lead instead.

"Then... What's the most important thing for you?"

"Beanie?" Minerva threw out questions one after another.

"Is it because of him that you think that I no longer meant anything to you..."

Before she could finish her words, Maddox's thin lips covered hers. At first, he kissed the tears on her face, and then he lingered and kissed her lips. Minerva was stunned, and she subconsciously pushed him away.

"What do you mean by this? Do you think it is fun for you to play around with my feelings?"

He leaned over and hugged her tightly. His cold, thin lips pressed against her ear as he sighed.

"It's not fun."

"It's not fun at all. These few days... was really a torture to me as well."

"I know you feel wronged, and I still can't accept the truth yet, but I never want to be separated from you. Even if you don't come to me, I will look for you."

She could feel the warmth of the man's body. Maddox's grip on her arm was getting tighter and tighter. Minerva felt a little uncomfortable because of his grip, but she felt that the emptiness in her heart had disappeared.

In the end, she closed her eyes and reached out to hug him.

There's no problem that a hug can't solve.

If not, two hugs should be enough.

Although she was annoyed these days, she felt that nothing else mattered. The only thing that matters was that the two of them understood each other, and the two of them were together.

After a long time, he finally let go of her. He asked softly, "Come to my place tonight?"

She was speechless. "What?"

"Or I'll head over to yours?"

Minerva was stupefied.

It took her a while before understanding Maddox's meaning. Her face was burning hot. After a long time, she finally opened her mouth, "It's better if we head to your place."

It was inconvenient for her at her place!

After all, she lived with Vera, and Beanie was also there. It was not appropriate for them to hear any adult noises.

She still remembered the time when Vera walked in on them and how awkward it was for them. If back then there was a hole for her to hide in, she would definitely bury herself in it without any hesitation. "Alright."

After getting her answer, Maddox directly lifted her up. Minerva cried out in alarm. She reflexively reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You, what are you doing? Put me down. I can walk by myself."

"I'll carry you to the car."

"There's no need for that. It's just a few steps away, and I drove here myself."

After that, she waved the key in her hand at him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his head to peck her face. "Leave it here. Drive back the next day."

She pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She allowed him to carry her into the car. He fastened her seatbelt for her and drove out.

On the way back, Minerva looked at his side profile.

"Did you... still forget something?"

Maddox's gaze was fixed on the road, and he glanced over at her when he heard this.

He didn't seem to understand what she meant. Minerva couldn't help reminding him, "Weren't you originally going to pick up

Beanie?"

Maddox's hand, which was on the steering wheel, paused when he heard that. He frowned.

Looking at him, did he really forget about it? Minerva's lips twitched. She had thought that since Beanie had just acknowledged him, he should be his top priority. But what was going on with him? Why did he forget his son when she came to look for him?

It happened that the traffic light was in front of them. He stopped the car and frowned. "I'll turn around later."

"Did you really forget?"

He pursed his lips when he heard that. Then, he reached out to cover his mouth and coughed softly.

Minerva scoffed, "No way? That's your son. How could you..."

He turned around and stared at her with a serious look. "That's because you distracted me.

Her lips parted slightly, almost unable to close. What did this have to do with her?

"I'll turn around in a while." He didn't say anything more. After all, he didn't expect that after Minerva came to look for him, he had completely forgotten about picking Beanie up.

It seemed that once this woman appeared, his mind could still be easily controlled by her.

"There's no need to turn around." Minerva helplessly looked at him. Tve already sent Vera to pick Beanie up in advance. If I wait until you remembered him, I'm afraid that he would have already been taken away by the traffickers..."

Maddox was speechless.

He pinched his temple to relieve the irritation. He didn't expect that he would really forget Beanie. If Minerva hadn't suddenly reminded him, he would have taken her back to Ocean Villa and then left Beanie in school.

In the distance, Beanie and Vera were in the car back home when suddenly, he started sneezing. She turned around to glance at him.

"Are you okay, Beanie? Did you sneeze? Did you catch a cold?"

After that, Vera quickly held him in her arms. "The weather is getting colder. You should wear thicker clothes when you go out."

Upon hearing this, Beanie blinked, "Auntie Vera, I'm not cold... It's just that my nose was itchy. Could it be that someone was scolding me behind my back?"

"Scolding you?" She was a little curious. "Who is scolding you? You are so cute. Is it one of your classmates?"

"Well, I don't think so." Beanie shook his head and then changed the subject. "Auntie Vera, does Mommy really want you to pick me up?"

"Of course, would I lie to you? Or is it because you've been used to being together with your daddy recently and don't want me to pick you up?"

"Impossible. It's just that I missed Mommy a little."

Vera helplessly reached out and patted his head. "Be good. Your parents need to get over some things. When they are done with their problems, you would have both of them by your side." He answered, "You're right."

"Therefore, it's better to obediently help me chase after your uncle first. A man should not break his promise."
