This was the first time Maddox stepped foot into a property that belonged to Minerva.

According to the results of Sam's investigation, this residence was owned under Minerva's name and it was her private property.

Maddox was impressed when he saw how capable she was when she worked in his company, thus, he speculated that not many would be on par with her if Minerva put effort into her work.

In the past, she lacked confidence, but now that she was confident, she was probably the one who would shine the most.

Therefore, Maddox was not the least bit surprised at her current achievements. It was as if all of this was within his expectations.

When he took off his shoes at the entryway, he noticed that Minerva had ignored him and went straight inside. His lips curled before he bent down to open the shoe rack and place his shoes inside. Maddox was flustered when he saw a row of children's shoes placed neatly on the top section of the rack.

These must belong to her child, right? This must be... the one who called her "Mommy" in a childish tone on the phone.

He did not know if it was a boy or a girl before, but now that he saw these shoes, Maddox was able to determine the child's gender.

It seemed to be a boy.

Maddox lowered his gaze. He did not expect that she would be so stupid to give birth to the child of that jerk.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a large pair of men slippers placed at the bottom of the shoe rack. Maddox's expression immediately darkened and his eyes turned icy cold instantly.

He went silent for a moment and then he closed the shoe rack as he walked inside barefooted.

At this moment, Vera came down the stairs while drying her hair.

She took a bath when Minerva went out. At this time, she was wearing her cartoon pajamas and her hair was wet and messy. She called out, "Minerva, didn't you just come back? I heard someone coming. Why did you..."

The rest of the conversation instantly came to a halt. Vera's eyes widened as she stared at the person behind Minerva.

The tall figure was imposingly strong and the coldness in his eyes enveloped the whole area in an instant.
