"As I seek for the mastermind, I will protect you," Maddox said.

Suddenly, a thought came in Minerva's mind. She stopped washing the utensils and she looked at Maddox.

"You mean, you want to stay here?"

Maddox drew closer and his aura began to grow stronger.

"If you allow me to..." He said.

"Impossible," Minerva rejected him without even having to think twice. "It's inconvenient. I am not living alone."

Maddox tried to find a loophole in her words, "So you mean that you will agree if you're living alone?"

Minerva said, "Don't try to bend my words. Anyway, you've already eaten and it's getting late so you should leave."

Maddox stood motionless in front of her. He did not utter a single word. Minerva said, "Don't make me hate you even more." Minerva words cut through to Maddox. Slowly, he said, "I'll leave after I finish helping you wash the dishes."

"Be sure to keep your promise," Minerva said.

Maddox kept his word. After they finished washing the dishes, Minerva walked him to the front door. Maddox did not ask to stay.

Just before he left, Maddox opened the shoe cabinet and saw a pair of children's shoes inside. Surprised flashed through his dark eyes and he peered back into the house. "Hurry up," Minerva urged. "What are you waiting for?"

Upon hearing her words, Maddox put on his shoes and walked out of the door. He gazed at her face.

He wanted to speak but Minerva interrupted him, "Take care on your way back."

Then with a bang, the door closed behind him.

On the other side of the door, Minerva leaned against the door. She tilted her head towards the ceiling and closed her eyes so that no one would see the emotions in her eyes.

A moment later, she opened the shoe cabinet and took out all of Beanie's shoes and placed them in his room upstairs.
