Minerva blushed. She lowered her eyes and bit her lower lip, a little angry as she asked, "Who knows what kind of person you are?"

Upon hearing that, Maddox's eyes darkened a little. He strode towards Minerva and reached out his hand, as if to grab her chin. The move was so sudden that it frightened Minerva so much that she took a few steps back quickly.

"What do you think you are doing?" Minerva asked.

"Didn't you say that you don't know what kind of person I am?" Maddox pursed his lips and said, "Let me remind you."

"There's no need for that!" Minerva shouted and glared at him. Pointing at the iced water on the table, Minerva said "Drink it and leave."

Maddox glanced at the iced water on the table, thoughts running through his mind. He walked towards the couch, sat down and unscrewed the cap. As if to please Minerva, he took two sips of the iced water. He was not thirsty at all; if anything, he was hungry.

After all, he hadn't eaten anything since he got off work.

Seeing that he sat down, Minerva calmed down. She finally remembered why she had called him into the house in the first place. She went over to the couch and sat opposite him.

"You wouldn't have appeared here today without any reason," she calmly said.

Placing down the iced water, Maddox gazed at her face, but he did not answer.

"If you remain quiet, I'll take it as a yes." Minerva said.

He did not utter a word and that was when Minerva knew that she was right about him. She then said, "You've known long ago that I was being followed. That's why you're here?"

Maddox stretched and placed his hands behind his head. He adjusted himself to a comfortable position as he leaned against the couch

During this time, Vera, who had gone upstairs to change her clothes, now hid at the top of the stairs. She watched silently and thought to herself. 'Maddox, the cold-faced devil, why did Minerva bring him back?'

Vera was so afraid of him just now.

Why would Minerva ever let Maddox in her home?

A thought suddenly came into her mind. Vera suddenly felt relief and covered her chest with her hands. Luckily, she had sent Beanie to Quill that morning.
